St Gregory of Nyssa wrote the Catechetical Discourse as a handbook for his catechists, to help them defend and articulate the foundations of the faith, the Trinity, creation and the image of God, the fall and the nature of evil, the saving work of Christ, and the sacraments of baptism and the Eucharist. The Discourse draws upon the previous tradition—especially Origen, St Methodius of Olympus, and, above all, St Athanasius' On the Incarnation (PPS 44)—and influences later fathers like St John of Damascus in his On the Orthodox Faith (translation coming soon to SVS Press).

Whenever I hear my voice, I feel strange. Is that really me? Recorded voices are even weirder, like disembodied little pieces of me. But language has never really been limited by voice. It is a medium of communication that connects you to someone else. Speech can be constrained by culture, but it can also be free to transform into something else. However, nothing is like the light language. Light language is a means of communication that is more spiritual than intellectual. It connects you to a higher being or the universe instead of merely connecting you to another human.

Find God in Nature Pray for Our Endangered Planet Long before they had heard about Christianity, the Celts knew that Nature was their portal to a great spiritual reality.
