Homily on the Dedication of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre

Commemorated September 13/26

St. Dimitry of Rostov

On this day we celebrate the dedication of the glorious and great new temple of Jerusalem - not the one which King Solomon built on Mount Moriah [2 Chron. 3] but rather the one which the pious Emperor Constantine and his praiseworthy mother Helen wondrously built on Mount Golgotha after cleansing and renewing that holy place which was once defiled by impious idolatry.

Claiming to Speak in the Name of Christians

A Law for All Seasons

Fr. Stephen Freeman

Thomas More was martyred by Henry VIII in England for his refusal to approve of the king’s adulterous marriage to Anne Boleyn. Like St. John the Baptist, he preferred God’s law to man’s. He died as a lawyer and a prophet. It is a lesson worth considering.

A Culture of Condemnation

Fr. Micah Hirschy

We live in a culture of condemnation. We make ourselves champions of moral, political, and religious issues. We divide ourselves along political lines, and we jump upon every chance to point our finger at those who do not agree with our views. This has become all the more endemic with the rise of social media. We define ourselves in distinction from the other.

Towards the Unity of Mankind

Met. Georges Khodr

Our unity, if we are believers, is God's work through His grace, but along with this it is the work of our desire for the good of all people. God created the world and left it for us to make through our love. The universe does not develope organically from itself. It is human beings who cause it to perish through their sins or make it live through their love.

St. John Cassian expresses the mind of the Church with precision and clarity, and identifies four senses or kind of Biblical interpretation. These four senses have been the Church’s mind about the Scriptures from the time of the Apostles!

Tears of Sorrow, Tears of Joy

Tears move the Lord of the universe, and in the spiritual tradition, tears in prayer and repentance are seen as a gift from God to us, which in turn move God to compassionately show mercy on us.

Why Orthodox Christians Celebrate the New Year on the First of September

September 1/14

Vincent Gabriel

We say goodbye to the old and welcome the new. We give thanks for what the Lord has done, and petition his lovingkindness and protection for the days yet to come. We take a moment to consider our impact on the world around us, and whether our actions proceed from hearts of selfishness or hearts of compassion.

The Sacramental Meaning of Bread

Priest Alexander Resnikoff

In our daily life, bread satisfies hunger, strengthens us for our daily tasks, and reminds us of its spiritual potential, for during the Divine Liturgy, bread becomes the Body of Christ, the Bread of Life, both in symbol and in actuality, supporting us in the activities of our spiritual life.
