In this episode, I will be reading from and discussing an article by the great holy hieromartyr Sergius Mechev.

Original (from Russian) Hieromartyr Sergius Mechev. "The Mystery of Divine Worship. Spiritual Talks. Letters from Exile."

This feast is about the Church surviving, truth being preserved, and love refusing to abandon the lost.

Sretenie -orthodox feast day

one of the most important building blocks of that foundation.

A character type that appears again and again in Russian books.

In Church Slavonic, the phrase sounds like this:

“Господу помолимся.”

Gospodu pomolimsya.

You’ve probably heard it many times —

even if you didn’t know what it meant.

Here, we talk about Church Slavonic — not as an “old” or “dead” language,

but as a living language of prayer, worship, and spiritual formation.
