On the Fourth Sunday of Great Lent, our Church commemorates St John of the Ladder. St John is famous for writing “The Ladder of Divine Ascent”, one of the most well-known spiritual texts in Orthodox Christianity.
In this podcast, Fr Dimitri Kokkinos, Parish Priest at St Ioannis Greek Orthodox Church, provides a short commentary on this book together with moving extracts from various sections, including the parts on Renunciation (Step 1), Obedience (Step 4), Remembrance of Wrongs (Step 9) and Chastity (Step 15).
