Matthew 19:16-26. The reading on the rich young man, the camel, and the needle. After wrapping up his series on community virtues (let all be done in love), Fr. Anthony draws on St. Nikolai Velimirovic, to distinguish between eternal life (salvation) and perfection (theosis). [Note – the point Fr. Anthony was making about not becoming uncreated was that we always remain creatures, even though we be perfected by God’s uncreated energies). Enjoy the show!
