St. Ambrose - On the Mysteries

St. Ambrose’s On the Mysteries is a deeply reflective 4th-century treatise offering insight into early Christian sacramental practices. Delivered to newly baptized believers, it unveils the spiritual meaning behind Baptism, Eucharist, and Confirmation, not just as rituals, but as encounters with divine reality. What I particularly liked is how Ambrose draws from Platonic philosophy: physical rites are shadows of eternal truths, the seen symbolizes the unseen, and the body points to the soul. If you follow this channel, you probably know that I believe that Christianity and Platonism are deeply connected, and this is quite evident here with Ambrose.
