Sometimes Fr. Calivas can be the most sublimely Orthodox writer in English. In this piece he captures Orthodox Eucharistic theology nearly perfectly. Do you notice that what he speaks of is not a sacrifice of atonement, but rather that we are destined to become like Christ, to become divinized by becoming clothed with God through the Eucharist? This is the promise and joy and freedom of Eastern Christianity.
