Saint Gregory the Theologian: On Prayer

If prayer is speech with God, then understanding God must be a part of learning about prayer. Saint Gregory the Theologian offers us wisdom on both topics, and our own spiritual journey. Listen as Fr. John McGuckin speaks about St. Gregory’s words: “God is to the spiritual intellect what the sun is to the material world and He will manifest the divinity in our minds to the degree that we are purified.”
