Sunday of All Saints

Our most godlike Fathers decreed that we should celebrate the present feast after the descent of the All-holy Spirit, as showing in a certain way that the coming of the All-holy Spirit acted through the Apostles like this: sanctifying and making wise human beings taken from our mortal clay and, for the completion of that fallen angelic order, restoring them and through Christ sending them to God, some by the witness of martyrdom and blood, others by their virtuous conduct and way of life; and things beyond nature are achieved.

  • On All Saints Sunday 0 0 On All Saints Sunday Today's Feast is the result of all that has gone before it.

  • Sermon for the Sunday of All Saints 0 0 Sermon for the Sunday of All Saints Igumen Zacchaeus (Wood) We must leave the things "of this world", those things that interfere with our path towards sanctity, no matter what they are, if we are to inherit eternal life. Christ does not tell us not to love the things that are good, but rather He instructs us not to love them "more than" we love Him. This teaching could be applied to many things.
  • Homily on the Sunday of All Saints: On the Signs of God’s Chosen 0 0 Homily on the Sunday of All Saints: On the Signs of God’s Chosen St. Ignatius (Brianchaninov) Confession requires decisive self-denial. It must be triumphant. It must be made as if in the open arena, before all mankind, before angels, saints, and fallen angels, before the gaze of earth and heaven. For we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men (1 Cor. 4:9), as the Apostle Paul says of himself and the rest of the Holy Apostles.
