Dr. Farrell states in “The Disputation” and it’s just the Introduction!

“The Ecclesiological and Sacramental corrective is grounded in the fact that, in order to participate in Christ who recapitulates all of creation and collective, sacred, and individual human history, one must personally recapitulate in His Recapitulation, i.e. one must partake of the Sacramental Life of the Church, recapitulating the heavenly manner of His seedless generation in His Virgin Birth by participating in its Sacramental counterpart. In order to share in the baptism of His Cross and Resurrection, one must partake of His Virgin Birth of water and The Spirit.

Finally, as the One Logos (Word) is the many Uncreate Logoi (related to His energies, need to reread Photios’ “Synergy in Christ” for more detail) of God, and they are the One Uncreate Logos of God, one can only partake of Him by practicing, that is, by recapitulating those very virtues which are the logoi of the Logos.

Sacramental recapitulation and the life of virtue, in other words, cannot be divorced for the simple fact that the logoi and the virtues are the very same things, i.e., the eternal power and operations of His Godhead. The Virtues must be constantly recapitulated within each individual hypostasis by an unceasing effort to bring their own created hypostatic modes of willing, their gnomies, back into the conformity with the natural principles of human nature as revealed in Christ, the only sinless One.”
