St Peters Orthodox Church

Today's Catechism Class focuses on the role of the Spiritual Father in the life of the Christian. In this teaching, we are encouraged to see the Priest as a familial Father who is placed in that position by God to help every Christian soul grow to maturity in Christ by feeding them all they need by his time, listening, teaching, and offering every Sacrament given by God for the health of all God's children. We are also encouraged to see the Priest as a physician; one we go to with the suffering of our soul in hopes that we might hear, through the Priest, our true Great Physician Jesus Christ who offers the remedy to the illness of our soul.
