Sensual Judgment and Curiosity
18 March 2015
Veronica Hughes
Try to be free of curiosity, for it can defile stillness as nothing else can. –St. John Climacus
In this episode, Veronica Hughes enriches our Lenten journey with an exploration of the concept of “Sensual Judgement and Curiosity.” She shares passages from Saint Nikolaj Velimirovich and Saint Theophan the Recluse on this topic. Through these authors, we contemplate how the sensual aspect of our fallen nature and our physical senses and curious tendencies can entice and entrap our souls, robbing us of our stillness and relationship with God.
