During the Nativity Fast, the Church celebrates the memory of many of the prophets who foretold the coming of Christ and taught the people of Israel how to prepare their hearts with fasting and repentance. Today's Movie of the Month is a zoom class on the "lesser" Old Testament prophets, but it also branches out explaining much about Orthodoxy. It is entirely in English, the lecture is good, the slides are clear and informative and the points that seem like digressions turn out to be building blocks of faith!

Enjoy!

“I will tell you that even now there is a serpent, Eve, and Adam, and a tree, and we are always subject to temptation and seduction: sensuality is the seductive serpent; Eve is our will, and Adam is our mind; sensuality seduces, the will agrees, and the mind, listening to the will, falls.

Thus, we daily partake of the forbidden fruit, succumbing to various passions.

So let us stand guard, doing and preserving; noticing our passions, resisting them, and humbling ourselves in weakness; and because of this, they overcome us, because instead of humility we have arrogance.”

St. Macarius of Optina
