[English Edition / Homilies and Spiritual Instruction]

Rev. Gregory Jensen

Look at the June 2008 the Pew Charitable Trust findings on religious beliefs and practices in America. The data on Orthodox Christians are, to put I mildly, unsettling.

The Canaanite Woman is My Sister

Fr. Ted Bobosh

The Gospel reading of Matthew 15:21-21 presents a hard lesson both because Jesus appears to treat the woman harshly and because we are challenged to think about people like this woman who might appeal to the parish for help but whom for various reasons we feel justified in just wanting to be rid of them.

On the Cult of Health, and Bodily Illness

Archpriest Oleg Stenyayev

How are the soul and body connected? Do we need to be concerned about physical health? Why is care for physical health senseless without care for the soul? What danger is there in the cult of health? Archpriest Oleg Stenyayev answers these questions.

The trouble with me-and-Jesus Christianity

Joel J. Miller

We live and worship God in community because we can’t see enough of Him on our own. Christians who isolate themselves from the body, whatever its defects and deficiencies, are consigning themselves to a peculiarly distorted and limited view of God: their own.

Seven Marks of a Saint

"Graciousness manifests itself in the speech and manner of prayerful Christians, for God kindly bestows grace upon His elect, never withholding from us what we need. Could we ever believe that He is miserly after considering the rich favor He manifests toward us in Christ?"

Sermon on the New Martyrs and Confessors of Russia 2016

"Only their love for Christ could guide them, guard their souls from the fear of persecution and death, and drive them onward to their confession of faith. Fear or eternal punishments is one force which is present in the heart of every true Christian, but it is not the greatest force which exists in the human soul. A Divine longing, a heavenly desire, a spiritual love affair with our Lord Jesus Christ is the most powerful force, and if this love is present, fear is not necessary – perfect love casts out fear."

Give God to One Another

Fr. Stelyios Muksuris

"Our world is starving for God now more than ever before. Let us give one another the One we have in our possession. Let us give God to each another through our heartfelt prayers, as priests and “little christs” who willingly sacrifice not necessarily our lives but our time and effort."

How to Become a Holy Fool: Homily on Saint Xenia of St. Petersburg, Fool for Christ

Fr. Philip LeMasters

"Christ surely does not call us all to the rare ministry of a Fool for Christ like St. Xenia, but we may all learn from her example that the humility of embracing our constant need for mercy is at the heart of faithfulness to a Lord Whose Kingdom is not of this world. There must be something of the holy fool in us all, if our eyes are to be opened to a truth that the world does not yet see."

What Does “Aionion” Mean?

Fr. Lawrence Farley

Some suggest that the word simply means “age-long”, indicating that the punishment of the unrighteous will endure for an age and then come to an end, and they point out that the root of the word is aeon [αιων], meaning “age”. What are we to make of this?

Killdozer. What Blind Anger Leads Us To

Archpriest Pavel Gumerov

Not long ago I heard about an incident that once shook America and became known far beyond the borders of the United States. This story took place in 2004 in a small town in Colorado. This episode inspired me to turn once again to the theme of anger and our struggle with it.

“Holy Mountain’s Secret Cry”

Met. Hierotheos Vlachos

Metropolitan Ierotheos Vlachos speaks about how a study of St. Gregory Palamas lead him to wondrous experiences on the Holy Mountain, the saints he met there, and the continuing living Tradition that they hand on in each generation, encapsulatd in the Jesus Prayer: "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner."

The Source of Sin is Within

Fr. Ted Bobosh

The purpose of fasting is to help "stir the pot" which is our heart—to help bring to the surface what really is within each of us. We can then confront the passions and sins in us or bring out the holiness that God has endowed us with.

The Evangelion

Fr. Patrick Henry Reardon

Think on this: the first Christians—Jews all—who regularly recited Israel’s Sh’ma’, apparently feeling no strain on their strict monotheistic conviction, and without significant dissent among their membership, begin to include a human being, Jesus of Nazareth, in their prescribed and official references to the God revealed in the Burning Bush. How, for heaven’s sake, did this come to be?

A Mercy of Peace

Fr. John Whiteford

Fr. John Whiteford answers the question: “I have heard it argued that the phrase in the Liturgy, “A mercy of peace, a sacrifice of praise” is both nonsensical and a corruption of an earlier text. Is this correct, and if not, what does the phrase mean?”

Freewill

Abbot Tryphon

One of the primary differences between Islam and Christianity has to do with the basic view of the nature of God. Islam teaches total surrender to a god who demands submission. There is no invitation to enter into a relationship, freely, nor is there room for an individual to choose, or not choose, to love his Creator, for the god of the Muslims is far above his creation, and there is no real possibility of having a personal relationship with this god.

Of What Spirit Are We?

Archpriest Oleg Stenyayev

Of what spirit are we? What does the Savior call us to do? And how should a government act in this world? Is force justified? Archpriest Oleg Stenyaev talks about this subject.

The Fathers and the Fire

Fr. Lawrence Farley

In this final blog article I will examine some of the Father’s teaching to see how they viewed the pain of hell being consistent with God’s love.
