Be of Good Cheer, I Have Overcome the World.

Fr. Georges Massouh

"Under the current circumstances in our pillaged countries where civil strife is constant, sectarian division is sharply increasing, and random, gratuitous killing is rampant... we, the friends of Jesus, return to the word of God in order to be inspired by it, that our behavior may conform to this word so that we do not fall into temptation, but rather remain faithful to the Gospel, the teachings of the Lord, and the witness of the Church."

Responding to the Resurrection

Fr. Ted Bobosh

Hope in the resurrection is a joyous experience which can carry us through life. Hoping in the resurrection might also lead to our being persecuted by those who hate God.

[English Edition / Homilies and Spiritual Instruction]

No perfect candidate for all Christians

Fr. Barnabas Powell

The Orthodox Church forbids its clergy from holding elected office, or endorsing political parties or candidates. Yet this stance doesn’t mean it remains neutral when issues of moral and spiritual significance come to a vote.

Sermon for the Synaxis of the Unmercenary Physicians 2015

"Let not shame or fear keep you away from Christ. Our true path to salvation is towards the light of Christ, and away from the darkness of the shame of Adam and Eve and the envy of the devil. May the Lord grant us the courage to come out of our darkness and into the light and with fear of God, with faith and love, draw nearer to Him. Let us emulate the Holy Unmercenary Healers, who for themselves wanted nothing, but out of love of God and their brother, gave everything. May the Lord grant this to us. Amen."

Faustian Dreams

Daniel Spaulding

Proud modern man pursues his Faustian deal with the technological Mephistopheles, hoping that he’ll be saved from death, or at the very least saved from the expansive boredom and emptiness of the modern world.

[English Edition / Homilies and Spiritual Instruction]

Christ is Our Peace

Archpriest Alexander Rentel

"I began today speaking of tragedy. I end today speaking of reassurance, comfort, support, encouragement, hope, and faith, because we are “not like those who have no hope.” We have Christ. We have faith in Christ. We have Peace. He alone is our answer to what ails us and afflicts the world."

[English Edition / Homilies and Spiritual Instruction]

The Peacemakers

Metropolitan Younan al-Souri of Zahleh

Let us ask for the indwelling of the Spirit of the Lord within us through the obedience of the Word, loving in God the Father, along the path of true repentance and our abiding in God through our surrendering ourselves completely to Him, so that God may be "all in all"...

[English Edition / Homilies and Spiritual Instruction]

The Possessed Gadarene

Twenty-third Sunday after Pentecost

Archbishop Andrei (Rymarenko)

We have heard about the sufferings of the possessed one and how the Grace of God delivered him from them. This same Grace can do the very same for us. But Grace is given through faith. What is faith? In answer to this question I will tell you one incident from my student life.

Raising Children in the Family

Metropolitan Ephrem (Kyriakos)

Prayer in the family, in the house and in the church makes a child feel secure because prayer goes into the heart. It is very useful for the family to gather together with the children in order to pray together. A child must be trained to participate with his parents in prayer, even if it is for only a little part or a hymn that he has learned by heart. It is very useful for a child to see his father and mother praying in front of him. This picture in childhood will not leave him during his entire life.

[English Edition / Homilies and Spiritual Instruction]

The Unity of the CommUNITY

Fr. Ted Bobosh

Parables present us with a special way of coming to the truth. For parables or stories show the words themselves are not enough – one has to interpret the story to come to the truth. Interpretation requires wisdom and knowledge. Interpretation is key to the Gospel message.

[English Edition / Homilies and Spiritual Instruction]

Sin Brings Enmity, While Prayer Unites

"This prayer of ours is love stronger than death, because it goes beyond the grave and unites in the love of the Most Holy Trinity all those who are merciful and help the suffering."

[English Edition / Homilies and Spiritual Instruction]

Care for the Soul

Fr. Stephen Freeman

A deep failure of modernity is its jettisoning of soul stories. Contemporary music is simply insufficient for the soul. The result can be a struggle for the life of the soul – to exist without being swallowed whole by the consumption that surrounds us. “Man shall not live by bread alone.”

[English Edition / Homilies and Spiritual Instruction]

Women Singing in the Church

Fr. John Whiteford

What does St Paul mean when he says, Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law? Does this mean that women cannot direct or sing in the choir?

[English Edition / Homilies and Spiritual Instruction]

Homily for Rich Man and Lazarus

Seminarian Sermon at St. Tikhon’s Seminary

Joseph Magnus Frangipani

So Christ presents us today with two men, one rich with worldly thoughts and another the testament to the hesychastic, ascetic life. We can choose which of these men we want to be.

[English Edition / Homilies and Spiritual Instruction]

Akathist to the Theotokos, Joy of All Who Sorrow

Rejoice, O Virgin Theotokos, full of Grace, Joy of all who sorrow!

[English Edition / Homilies and Spiritual Instruction]

The Natural Goodness of Creation vs. Human Sin

Fr. Ted Bobosh

The Psalmist may be referring to those incarcerated in prisons, but Evagrius recognized that many things can imprison the mind.

[English Edition / Homilies and Spiritual Instruction]

The Beauty of Diversity in Unity

Fr. Stelyios Muksuris

There is, however, another distance that faith in Christ helps us to minimize and eradicate completely — our distance from our true selves. Without a solid foundation in Christ, we maintain proximity to a “version” of ourselves that we are convinced by the dark powers is sufficient, perfect, and justifiably independent. We become not what God wants us to be, God-centered and God-focused, but what the demons desire us to be, self-centered and self-focused, like themselves.

Impulsivity, our Relationship with God, and the Problem of Self-control

Hieromonk Alexis (Trader)

The vital question is whether the impulsive can gain self-control when they need it most.

[English Edition / Homilies and Spiritual Instruction]

Sermon on the Parable of the Sower (22nd Sunday after Pentecost, 2015)

To be the one whose seed takes hold, the one on the ground whose soil brings forth fruit, is simply to be the one who responds to this command, “give me your heart” with a profound “Yes” and repeats this answer every hour of every day.

[English Edition / Homilies and Spiritual Instruction]

Love Without Rules

Bishop Pitirim of Dushanbe and Tadjikistan

So that shows the evolution from humanism to satanism. The two legs of this monster walking around the planet are: Love and Will. Love without rules and your own will. We pray to God: “Hallowed in Love be Thy name! Thy Kingdom of Righteousness come! Thy holy will be done!”
