    • Session 2: In Every Hour of the Day Reveal Your Will to Me:

  • Why is it so essential that we, as Orthodox Christians, stay focused on the present rather than fretting about the future or agonizing over the past?

  • What does it look like, practically speaking, to love as Christ loves, on a daily basis, our neighbors, family members and fellow Orthodox Christians?

    • Session 4: Teach Me to Pray:

  • How can the prayers of the Church help us correct our thoughts and override our passions?
