| Summary: | Abstract Orthodox theology teaches that people may participate in the fruits of Jesus Christ’s mediation between God and humankind. The Holy Spirit enables people to become radiant with the divine energies as they embrace Christ’s fulfillment of the human person in the likeness of God. The Theotokos , the saints, and spiritual elders play particular roles in interceding for people to share more fully in the life of Christ. The eucharistic worship of the church, marriage and the other sacraments, the prayer of the heart, ministry to the poor, and forgiveness of enemies provide opportunities for people to be transformed by the grace mediated to humanity by Jesus Christ. Such mediation extends to every dimension of the human person, including the physical body, as indicated by veneration of the relics of the saints and the sacramental nature of Orthodox worship. |
