Death Betrothed to Life

A Homily for the Dormition of the Mother of God

Hieromonk Herman (Majkrzak)

She kept all these things in her heart. St. Luke tells us this twice: Everything having to do with her Son was stored up in the spiritual treasure-house, in the interior sanctuary of Mary’s heart. And what that means, among other things, is that she carries in her heart all the members of the Body of her Son: every person who has been united to Christ, who has put on Christ: she is their Mother, because she is Christ’s Mother.

Pt. 12: The Paschal Order of Services

Hieromonk Herman (Majkrzak)

The Sunday of Holy Pascha and all the succeeding days of Bright Week follow a unique order of services dramatically unlike the order used throughout the rest of the year. Many psalms and other regular fixtures of the services disappear; the tone of the Octoechos changes every day instead of every week—in effect, Bright Week is a week of Sundays, a week of Pascha.

Pt. 11: The Lenten Order of Services

Hieromonk Herman (Majkrzak)

On weekdays in Great Lent—from Sunday evening through Friday evening each week – the order of daily services (Vespers, Matins, and the Hours) changes from the normal order in several significant ways, ranging from what hymnography is sung, to which litanies are omitted, to when and how many times the Prayer of St. Ephraim is said. All these details are discussed here.

Pt. 10: Christmas & Theophany

Hieromonk Herman (Majkrzak)

In this lesson, Fr. Herman discusses the Nativity season, beginning with the Nativity Fast, the two Sundays of the Forefathers before Christmas, the Christmas forefeast, the special services for Christmas Eve, and the feast itself. Then we look at how Theophany in most ways mirrors Nativity, noting a few differences. We also discuss how the order of services differs when Christmas or Theophany falls on either a Sunday or a Monday.

Pt. 9: The Hours & Divine Liturgy

Hieromonk Herman (Majkrzak)

What are the Hours? When are they read, and what do they consist of? This video discusses such details and also presents an overview of the variable hymnography used at Divine Liturgy, including the troparia on the Beatitudes (i.e., the third antiphon), the troparia and kontakia after the Little Entrance, and the prokimenon, Epistle, alleluia, and Gospel. A few other practical details about Liturgy are also considered.

Pt. 8: Ranks of Commemorations & Theotokia

Hierodeacon Herman (Majkrzak)

The rank of a particular commemoration on the liturgical calendar governs many details about how the services for that day will be celebrated. Which stichera (and how many) will be sung at Vespers, whether Matins will have a Gospel reading or the Great Doxology, and whether we sing weekday or Sunday Theotokia at these services are just a few of the details which the rank determines.

Part 7: Sunday and Festal Matins

Hieromonk Herman (Majkrzak)

Having discussed the basic outline of Matins as seen in Daily Matins, it’s now time to expand our understanding of Matins by comparing Daily Matins, Matins with the Great Doxology, Festal Matins, and Sunday matins.

The Lord’s Anointed: Thoughts on Holy Wednesday

Hieromonk Herman (Majkrzak)

“The Anointed”: this is everywhere a mark of kingship; it is also the very meaning of the title Messiah or Christ.

“Let us Purify Our Senses”: A Sermon for the Sunday of Orthodoxy

Hieromonk Herman (Majkrzak)

Lent is a time for us to become much more conscientious about what impressions we allow to be made on our souls. What do we watch? What do we listen to? Do these things befit our dignity as human beings? Are we cleansing and adorning the image of God within us, or are we obscuring and damaging it?

The Last Judgment: Destruction and Redemption at the End of History

Hieromonk Herman (Majkrzak)

The Lord came to save and to restore, to transfigure and illumine; but inevitably this involves death and judgment and destruction. He Himself submitted to death at the hands of false judges, so that death might become the path to incorruptible life. The resurrection, both of man and of the entire created cosmos, will only occur after death. The “new heaven and the new earth” will be consummated only after “the former things have passed away.” History had a beginning, and it will have an end. And that end is destruction, and that destruction will give way to boundless, unimaginable glory and beauty.

Sing Ye Carols: An Interview with Hierodeacon Herman

Andrew Gould, Hieromonk Herman (Majkrzak)

"Our culture is drowning in music; many people are to some extent addicted to having music playing in the background throughout their day, and much of that music does not edify but draws us away from Christ in subtle or sometimes blatant ways, to say nothing of the resulting absence of silence. With the choral advent calendar, I’m trying to give people an opportunity to be more intentional about their music, and to help folks find music which can warm their hearts and help them draw near to God."
