About this sermon
Why do we fast? What is its purpose? For many today, fasting seems outdated—an empty ritual, a relic of the past. But in this sermon, Fr. Alexander Schmemann reveals that fasting is not about food alone. It is about freedom. It is about awakening. It is about restoring the balance between body, mind, and soul—breaking the invisible chains that bind us to the material world and rediscovering our true hunger: the hunger for God. About Alexander Schmemann: An influential Orthodox theologian and priest, Schmemann was a leading voice in the Orthodox Church in America and dean of St. Vladimir’s Seminary. His writings on liturgy reshaped Christian thought, and for 30 years, his sermons reached millions in the USSR via Radio Liberty—including listeners like Alexander Solzhenitsyn. 📖 Source: Беседы на Радио "Свобода"/ Александр Шмеман/ Т. 2. - 2009. - 541 с. 🎥 Credits: https://www.vecteezy.com/free-videos/christian
