This week, James O’Reilly is joined by Fr. Chris to explore the life and legacy of St. Ephrem of Syria—the only Syriac Christian recognized as a Doctor of the Church. A prolific hymnographer, theologian, and poet, St. Ephrem’s writings continue to shape both Eastern and Western Christian thought.
The conversation also dives into the beauty of Eastern Catholic spirituality and its unique contributions to the universal Church. Fr. Chris shares insights on prayer, theology, and the rich liturgical life of the Eastern tradition.
