In this adult study, Anthony Ally guides us into the mystery of the Cross in the shadow of tragedy. With the Feast of the Elevation of the Holy Cross fresh in our hearts, we wrestle with the deepest questions of the human condition: Why does evil seem to triumph? Where is God in our pain? How do we bring hope to a broken world?
Anthony reflects on the recent martyrdom of Charlie Kirk, offering a humble Orthodox meditation shaped by the prayers of the Cross and Resurrection. He emphasizes that Orthodoxy does not give empty platitudes or cold rationalism, but rather offers the healing grace of Christ who transforms suffering into victory.
This class invites us to see our grief and anger through the luminous lens of Christ’s Cross, to listen compassionately to one another without judgment, and to stand firm in truth with love — even amid false accusations, violence, and a hostile world.
