In this Bible/adult study, Mr. Anthony Ally examines the deep connection between fasting and hesychasm in the Orthodox journey through Great Lent. Far more than dietary rules, fasting is revealed as a sacred tool to still the passions and quiet the soul, preparing the heart for true prayer and inner watchfulness. Rooted in the teachings of the Church Fathers and the practice of the saints, this session reflects on how Lent is not just about restraint, but about creating space to encounter Christ in silence, humility, and the hidden chamber of the heart.
