As Iron Sharpens Iron

Orthodox Christianity builds on a series of fundamental observances and regular practices which we are asked to perform as a part of our faith. These practices bring discipline into our life align our being with the structure of reality and bring, which transfers into every other area of our life. In this conversation we speak of the basic Orthodox practices: - Maintain a daily prayer rule, morning, and evening. - Daily readings of the Holy Scriptures, the lives of the Saints, the Psalter or other Orthodox writings. - Regular attendance and participation in the Church Sacraments, Liturgy, Confession, Healing prayers - Participate in the Feasts and Fasts of the Orthodox Church calendar.
