The Subtle Unity of 25% of the New Testament

Fr. Patrick Henry Reardon

The intentional unity of Luke/Acts is more than sequential. It is also thematic, in the sense that both works carry the same images, ideas, and preoccupations.

Orthodoxy Is Not Found through Archaeology

Gabe Martini

Many Orthodox Christians speak of a search for the early Church; of a search for the “ancient faith.” As such, it can be all too easy to conflate Orthodoxy with that which is “old.”

The Mystery of Iniquity

Archpriest Andrew Phillips

Indeed, ever since 1914 the world has not known peace, nothing has been the same again. 1914 reminds us of Noah’s Flood, but this time it has not been a Flood of Water, but a Flood of Iniquity.

Loving Sinners

After church the preacher asked the woman why she so enthusiastically supported him when he mentioned drinking, dancing and playing cards but was silent when he mentioned stealing chickens. The woman replied, “Because I don’t drink, dance or play cards.”

On Kissing the Priest’s Hand

For people outside of the Orthodox Tradition, this is one of those foreign, counter-cultural and awkward practices that can be difficult to grasp.

"It is our fault that there are people who do not know Christ"

Metropolitan Athanasios of Limassol talks about end times, trust in God and the mission of Church

Metropolitan Athanasios of Limasol

Confession is the simplest way to learn what people think about and to understand their problems or concerns. I am very happy when people view their bishop as their father. I am happy when I know that people can come to my church and find me there to tell me about their problems.

Sermon for the Feast of All Saints

Looking upon all this glorious fruit in God’s vineyard, we turn to ourselves and to today’s Gospel, asking the question: How can I, a great sinner, in some way remain in this Divine Garden, together with the Mother of God and all the saints, together with everything which is beautiful and pure in Heaven and on Earth.

[English Edition / Saints. Asceties of Piety. Church Holy Days ]

On All Saints Sunday

Today's Feast is the result of all that has gone before it. The purpose of all the events in Christ's life, from His Conception to the Resurrection and the Ascension and Pentecost is to make Saints. That is the purpose of the Church, to make people holy.

Speaking of Reality

Fr. Stephen Freeman

The most essential proposition within this philosophy is that reality itself is a “social construct,” that is, our experience of the world is formed, not by the world itself, but by the social interactions and agreements by which we agree to name and describe the world. The world is what we think it to be.

What Is Authentic Interior Worship?

Fr. Patrick Henry Reardon

This definitive separation of wheat and chaff, this principle of a final acceptance and rejection of human decisions, is essential to the Gospel itself, because it affirms the everlasting significance of those decisions.

On Grace

St. Luke, Archbishop of Crimea

Oh, how thankful we must be for all and everything—for the good and the evil; for the joy and the sorrow; and for the suffering and trials we must be grateful to God Who leads us along the path of salvation, not only by way of happiness, but above all and most of all by way of suffering.

Pentecost Sunday: St Cyril of Alexandria’s Commentary on the Gospel (John 20:19-23)

St. Cyril of Alexandria

He shows that the gift of the Spirit necessarily attends those who are ordained by Him to be Apostles of God. And why? Because they could have done nothing pleasing unto God, and could not have triumphed over the snares of sin, if they had not been clothed with power from on high, and been transformed into something other than they were before.

Weak, Sick, Poor and Tired: A Story for Losers

Fr. Stephen Freeman

It is little wonder that the American Dream is so powerful and popular. The alternative is nothing anyone would choose.And yet, the American Dream may be the greatest obstacle to salvation the world has ever known.

Being Invaded? Wake Up!

Fr. Silouan Benedict

There was a time when I used to pray with my prayer rope whenever possible and even during the night But now, I have my laptop, and the availability of entertainment at my fingertips. Yes, I have argued with my conscience and have told myself that I am not doing anything wrong.

Sunday before Pentecost

Metropolitan Anthony of Sourozh

We also are called to learn the joy, the exhilarating, the wonderful joy of giving, of turning away from ourselves to be free to give, and of giving on all levels, the smallest things and the greatest things.

[English Edition / Saints. Asceties of Piety. Church Holy Days ]

The Ascension of the Lord

Archpriest Seraphim Slobodskoy

Ascended to Heaven, Jesus Christ according to His own promise invisibly always comes to earth among those who believe in Him, and He will come again to earth in a visible form to judge the living and the dead who will then rise from the dead.

Fruits of the Resurrection of Christ

Leave-taking of Pascha

Bishop Alexander (Mileant)

As all die in Adam, so in Christ shall all revive (1 Cor. 15:22). These Apostolic words expound upon not only the physical resurrection of people, but, in the first place, upon spiritual rebirth.

[English Edition / Saints. Asceties of Piety. Church Holy Days ]

Sunday of the Blind Man. There is no salvation without good character. There is no salvation without courage.

Fr. Seraphim Holland

You cannot be saved without good character. You need it to follow the commandments. It has to be in the heart.

Homily for Mid-Pentecost

Jesse Dominick

Even in the midst of our rejoicing and feasting on the good things of the earth in these days of Pascha we look ahead to the outpouring of the Spirit—to the good things from above the earth. Indeed, let us seek this Wisdom, and let us thirst for this living water.
