[English Edition / Homilies and Spiritual Instruction]

Fr. Milan Katanic

We need to be sober-minded and always aware of our sins. As our holy St. Bishop Nikolai points out, God is more pleased when man numbers his sins and not his good deeds, because He is our Physician and comes to our bed and asks us our pains. Foolish is the man who conceals his pain speaks to the Physician of his good health and wise is the one who tells him of all his pains.

A few Thoughts about Training the Will

Archimandrite Cyprian (Pyzhov)

The possessor of a strong will enters the kingdom of heaven much quicker than the spineless slave to passions and bad habits. The weak man, though, is easily charmed by evil, and having no weaponry, no will of his own, he falls helplessly into the nets of the enemy.

The Gratitude of the Publican

Metropolitan Anthony of Sourozh

But then, the question is before us: how can we learn anything about humility if that is the absolute condition to be not like the barren fig tree, but fruitful, to be a rich harvest which people may be fed.

Watchfulness

Abbot Tryphon

Holiness comes only to those who keep vigil

About Still Being Here: On Converts

Archpriest Andrew Phillips

The psychology of neophytes (recent or old) is universal because human nature is universal. To quote some real life examples, regardless of whether we are talking about a Protestant who has become a Roman Catholic, a Roman Catholic who has become a Protestant, a Frenchman who has become a Buddhist, an Englishman who has become a Muslim, or a German who has joined the Orthodox Church, neophyte idealism remains the same.

A sharp dressed man

Fr. John Moses

You’ve heard it said that “clothes make the man.” If that is true then I am an unmade man.

Killdozer Part 2. How to war with anger

Archpriest Pavel Gumerov

In order to enter the fight with anger in your soul, to stop this “killdozer”, you must first of all recognize the danger of this passion.

Feeling Like a Fool

Fr. Stephen Freeman

Since all of this is true, and pretty universal, it is deeply surprising to discover that there are great saints who have chosen to make fools of themselves for the sake of their salvation and the salvation of others.

Unity, the One Cup and the Fire of God

Fr. Stephen Freeman

Ecumenism is back in the news and with it comes a deluge of misunderstanding and theological confusion.

Homily On the Meeting of the Lord and the Purification of the Panagia

Igumen Gregory (Zaiens)

"Keeping the purity of our all-holy Lady Theotokos in mind let us increase our love for her and also strive for this virtue of purity. Through her prayers combined with our struggles, may Christ our God purify us from the defilement of sin and passions, and so make us worthy in the life to come with faces unashamed to look upon Him, together with His unoriginate Father, and His most-holy, good and life-creating Spirit, throughout the endless ages, world without end. Amen."

Like Timothy! Like Zacchaeus!

Rev. Gregory Jensen

We should speak in such a way that when others hear our words, they hear the Word of God and they see our deeds, they see the works of God.

An Uninvited Guest

Fr. James Guirguis

Our question then must be “What must I do in order to show the Lord Jesus that He is welcome to invite Himself into my home, into my life and into my heart?” Let’s look at our daily lives and habits as a place to start and initiate our conversation with the Lord.

Torch-bearers of the Triune Godhead

A Homily for the Synaxis of the Three Holy Hierarchs

Jesse Dominick

From these fathers we learn that the content of theology, the entirety of the Christian spiritual life, is the Mystery of the Cross, which shapes the ethos of repentance—our prayerful striving to become like Christ in all things—in the Orthodox Church.

[English Edition / Homilies and Spiritual Instruction]

Struggling to Possess

For Orthodox Christians the life in Christ is truly nomadic, for God is preparing us through our daily efforts for a great inner conquest. Others in our neighborhood, workplace, and community may appear settled, like the Edomites and Moabites. Yet through the struggle in the wilderness Israel learned to rely solely upon God, instead of the comforts of a fixed life. So we too must learn to struggle.

Toxic anger won’t help any cause

Fr. Barnabas Powell

Each year, I offer these prayers unreservedly, since they express the ancient faith of the first Christians, who equated abortion with infanticide and rescued babies left exposed to die.

[English Edition / Homilies and Spiritual Instruction]

Radical Obedience

Abbot Tryphon

We must not become detached from our original goal

Methodius: The Deep Things of the Scriptures

Fr. Ted Bobosh

In the world today, especially in American Christianity, there are divisive debates opposing biblical literalists with those who do not think every scriptural verse was or is meant to be read only literally. Similar debates occurred from the beginnings of Christianity.
