[English Edition / Homilies and Spiritual Instruction]

Fr. James Guirguis

As Christians we learn to be at peace with the presence of Christ in our lives as we grow in our relationship with Christ and then we do not have to be tortured and tormented and caught off guard like the demon possessed man.

To Sing Like a River

Fr. Stephen Freeman

The Fathers often point towards human rationality as an excellence that sets us above the rest of creation. In modern thought, however, we seem to think that we are somehow distinct from the rest of creation, with little in common.

Scriptures: The Written Word of God

Fr. Ted Bobosh

The Christians began to claim to have the correct understanding of the Jewish Scriptures – the Scriptures were written about the Christ, and properly interpreted in Christ.

Good and bad spiritual guides

Dr. Nikolaos Koios

Many Christians are troubled by the issue of how to choose spiritual guide. What characteristics should they look for and what kind of relationship should develop between them?

Who Killed Christ?

Archpriest Andrew Phillips

In three words this general answer can even be summed up as a ‘lack of love’, for this is the greatest killer of all, for it kills individuals, parish churches, monasteries and indeed, as we are witnesses, whole dioceses.

The Way of All Flesh: The Bible on the Aerial Tollhouses

Conversation 2, Part 1

Archpriest Oleg Stenyayev

Where in the Bible do they talk about aerial tollhouses—those obstacles that the forces of darkness put in the way of souls rising after death to heaven through the space under heaven? Why do the demons wait for a soul in the under-heavens? How should we view the fact that there are differences between patristic works and the lives of the saints in explanations of the tollhouses? How can we answer critics of the teaching on the tollhouses?

Icons and the Seeds

Fr. Ted Bobosh

The icons on our church walls are not meant to be lifeless caricatures of legendary heroes. They are real people, like you and I who lived the Gospel life and who continue to remain alive in Christ.

The Church is the Pillar and Ground of Truth “The Pastor’s Word”

His Holiness Patriarch Kirill

The following is the text of a television program featuring His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia, “The Pastor’s Word”. This installment was aired on October 8, 2016.

The Sermon of His Holiness Patriarch Kirill after the Divine Liturgy in the Dormition Сathedral in London

I believe firmly that this mission as peace maker of the Church has great meaning today. We, people of faith, are given to see that which people who have no faith cannot see. We can detach ourselves somewhat from the ups and downs, from present-day conflicts and look from a distance at what is happening, including in Russian-British relations. And this view will differ greatly from the views of politicians.

The Stubborn Apostle

Fr. Daniel Sisoyev

Paradoxically Thomas’ disbelief only emphasizes the faith of the apostle and helps us to believe. This disbelief only confirms for us the fact of Christ’s victory over death. Now we know that we die not forever, that we do not need to fear the grave. Its predatory mouth will release all its prisoners, for God has promised us eternal life in the flesh. And it’s not simply a promise, for Christ, the Firstborn of the dead, is already risen, to carry out from the grave with Him all of mankind.

If We Only Knew the Gift of God

Fr. Stavros Akrotirianakis

When people become cynical about the church, or people disparage the Gospel, Christianity, morality and the things related to faith and salvation, the answer of Christ often comes to my mind:If you KNEW the gift of God and who it is that is saying to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.”

St. Gregory Palamas: The Gospel is Innate to Us

On Luke 6:31-36

Fr. Ted Bobosh

Though I have heard many arguments in favor of a literal interpretation of Scripture, rarely have I found biblical literalists to focus their read of Scripture on Christ’s commandments in Luke 6:31-36:

Why are we Orthodox Christians?

Wisdom from Lebanon

Archimandrite Gregorios (Estephan)

Orthodoxy has preserved the faith of the early Church in the same form it received it from the beginning; it neither added to it nor subtracted from it even a letter.

What is a Reader, and How Can You Become One?

Fr. John Whiteford

Anyone who is able can serve the function of a Reader, when needed. And there are many people who are not tonsured as Readers who do.

Homily for October 9, 2016

Fr. Gregory Hogg

This is no time for nostrums, or pious pronouncements. Nothing can save us now but repentance. We must give up trying to look respectable.

[English Edition / Homilies and Spiritual Instruction]

On Sharing Undeserved Mercy: Homily for the Third Sunday of Luke in the Orthodox Church

Fr. Philip LeMasters

If we are to live the Christian life with integrity, we too must have the courage to relate to others with true compassion as they suffer, mourn, and live with pain and disorder of whatever kind.

How to fight a passion that was born before us

Natalia Goroshkova, Archimandrite Markell (Pavuk)

Laziness almost never visits that house where there are many children. There each member of the family always has many responsibilities with no time to relax. Cooking, laundry, cleaning, work in the garden, and so on—almost every member of the family is constantly busy with these things, except for the very youngest, and no one can refuse these responsibilities. But in small families, where there is one child, or none, it’s hard to avoid being lazy.

A word on the commemoration of St. John the Theologian and Patriarch Tikhon

Archimandrite John (Krestiankin)

And does not there arise in us the question of why the Lord united these two elect of His here on earth, if not because it was by one heart and by one mind that they lived, although in different times and circumstances—the same work they fulfilled, living on earth so as to unite themselves in eternity and on earth in the memory of the people? Let us look closer at their lives and draw from the fountain of ever-present living water which grants immortality to the soul.

A Christian Cannot Be a Coward

Archimandrite Melchisedek (Artiukhin)

Is it true when they say that Christians shouldn’t be brave? How can we combine courage with humility? What does it mean to “turn the other cheek”? When is particular courage required of a Christian? What should a Christian really fear?
