St. Mary of Egypt and the Grace of the Holy Mysteries
This week, the Church reads the Life of St. Mary of Egypt. Archimandrite Irenei explores a section of that text which reveals the relationship between "mystical theology" in ascetical life to the grace of the Holy Mysteries in the Church. We are prompted to ask ourselves: Do I lose sight of the chalice in my desire to find Christ?

Faith and Finances
Fr. Michael Tassos and Kevin Allen discuss the role of money and finance (and financial planning) in the Orthodox Christian life. Fr. Michael is a Senior Priest and Certified Public Accountant (CPA). This was a live call-in program on Sunday night, April 14, 2013.
"Would like to thank you for the varied programmes you do. I am an Anglican based in Leicester in the UK and came across your station last year on the internet. I listen most days to your music podcast whilst preparing lessons for my students early in the morning, and I listen to your teaching podcasts via my mp3 player at other times. One or two of my students have even commented on the calming presence of the worship. The content is excellent, and the programmes are ministering to my spiritual needs. My appreciation for the Orthodox faith has deepened, and I am particularly enjoying the new series by Abbott Tryphon whose wisdom is down to earth and yet very practical. May God continue to bless your ministry. "
Ian from Leicester, UK
