[Встреча с Православием / Проповеди]
Архимандрит Тихон (Шевкунов)
Душа того, кто пытается чутко жить в нашем мире, искать смыслы бытия, не может не ответить на вопрос – зачем живет человек? – ответом: «Для встречи с Богом». Встреча с Богом – это и есть высшая, главная цель каждой человеческой души. (MP3 файл. Продолжительность 16:18 мин. Размер 11.8 Mb)

English Edition

[Sretensky Monastery]
“Trembling with fear, I uttered the phrase I had carefully studied so that I wouldn’t mix things up: ‘Your Holiness, bless me to transfer to the Pskov-Caves Monastery and found its metochion in Moscow.’ I stammered out the words, and then froze in horror. But out of nowhere, His Holiness the Patriarch said, ‘Fr. Tikhon! That is very good. Yes, yes, yes—it’s quite needed, really, quite needed.’”
[Homilies and Spiritual Instruction]
Now we see another aspect of repentance that is so important today, especially in light of what we are going to read and contemplate next week. That is, God receives a man’s repentance. This may seem to be an obvious statement, hardly worth making, but in actuality, many people do not really believe God will receive their repentance, or that they can truly change.
[Saints. Asceties of Piety. Church Holy Days ]
We see here that the KJV erroneously translates this verse to read "days of her purification". However, a puristic translation of the text would be translated as "days of their purification".
[Theology]
Gabe Martini
Orthodox Christians do not hold to the Reformation principle of Sola scriptura. Instead, we view the scriptures as the pinnacle or “summit”1 of holy tradition, neither separating the two as wholly distinct, nor eliminating one or the other.
[Saints. Asceties of Piety. Church Holy Days ]
Gabe Martini
The Nunc dimittis or Song of Simeon is a recorded response as this old, frail servant of the Lord beholds the incarnate Lord of Glory for the very first time. In this moment, he knew his life was complete; he had fulfilled his purpose. Interestingly enough, there is a significant back-story to this presentation of Christ, and to the elder Simeon’s response.
[Saints. Asceties of Piety. Church Holy Days ]
The Church teaches the Law of God, righteousness and piety, and the gifts of the Holy Spirit are bestowed in the Mystery of Chrismation; but meeting God always requires the exploit of faith ­ the readiness to accept everything that will be pleasing to Him.
[Saints. Asceties of Piety. Church Holy Days ]
Archbishop Dmitri (Royster)
God literally entered the world, into time and history. He was physically present in the midst of His people, His creatures whom He loves. Our Lord took on human nature in order to reconcile unto Himself, man who had strayed far from the Source of his life.
