Prosphorka Series The Ladder is follows the Ladder of Divine Ascent by St. John Climacus. This book is assigned to be read in the Churches during the Lenten season. If one were to attend all of the Lenten hours, each week, he would hear the entire book read. Since these services are ill attended and because many have been infected with the idea that Orthodoxy applies differently between monastics and the Laity, many wrong ideas have given rise to an almost Gnostic Orthodoxy.
Listen as Fr. Methodius attempts to show how we can all learn from "the Ladder". He bases his teaching on a premise taught by St. Anthony Krapovitsky who said that the unique form of Christian unity that is Orthodox, is Asceticism. Fr. Methodius believes that the Laity will not be able to truly live the Chrisitian life unless they discover this truth.

Fr. M offers ways to get started.
