Light of the World Webinar Series S.7: St Mary of Egypt and the Cleansing Strength of the Psalms

How could an illiterate desert-dweller with no access to the Scriptures, written or spoken, be so utterly transformed by the Word of God?
In the seventh Light of the World Webinar hosted by St Vladimir’s Seminary on April 25, 2024, the Rev. Dr Silviu Bunta, a prolific Orthodox author and speaker, drew from the life of St Mary of Egypt in discussing the profound and essential place of the Psalter and the Scriptures as a whole in attaining Christ-like perfection. Watch the entirety of his presentation, “A Sweet Light Descended and Enlightened Me: St Mary of Egypt and the Cleansing Strength of the Psalms.”
The Light of the World Webinar Series features speakers from among St Vladimir’s Seminary faculty, alumni, and friends, speaking on a variety of topics while answering a core question: How are we Christians to be the light of the world?
Drawing inspiration from feedback received through a recent survey we conducted, these webinars aim to address a diverse range of themes that address real and pressing issues facing Orthodox faithful in modern society.
