“Sacrament Series 11- Baptism – Lent, Idle Curiosity, Lent ” / 18 / Thursdays at Evangelismos Orthodox Church

Father Emmanuel delves into the meaning of St Ephrem’s Lenten prayer (O Lord and Master of my life…). Father speaks about the spirit of inquisitiveness or idle curiosity, the relentless “WHY” which has a spirit of tyranny about it, as people have the need to know and control others, instead of allowing people the freedom and respect they need. Father also discusses Baptism further, outlining how our mortality is removed through our Baptism, and through Christ’s death, our mortality, which is a direct result of our transgressions and disobedience to God, is put to death by Christ; death is no more and God’s forgiveness is forever.
