The Forgotten Call to the East: Facing the Risen Son

Discover the deep biblical, historical, and spiritual significance of the East in worship. In this full-length mission talk, inspired by Fr. John Corapi, we explore how the covenant Jews, the early Church, and even God Himself have used the East as a symbol of hope, light, and the coming of Christ. Learn why the Church has lost this sacred tradition, and how turning your heart — and sometimes your body — eastward can deepen your faith and prepare you for the Lord’s return.
