The Centrality of Humility for the Christian Life

Mar 8, 2026    Dr Philip Kariatlis

This podcast explores the central place of humility in the Christian life—especially pertinent for Holy and Great Lent— drawing on the Scriptures and the teachings of the Church Fathers, especially St Isaac the Syrian.

It reflects on how true humility—born from the recognition of God’s boundless love and our dependence on His grace—leads the human heart to what is described as “doxological contrition,” where both sorrow/repentance and thanksgiving arise together before God.
