The Crowded Church

Fr. Ted Bobosh

The Gospel lesson of Luke 8:41-56 has been a favorite of mine for the simple reason that I see it as presenting a “type” of the Church.

Subhumanity – The Philosophy of the Absurd

Hieromonk Seraphim (Rose)

We must again be Christians. It is futile, in fact it is precisely absurd, to speak of reforming society, of changing the path of history, of emerging into an age beyond absurdity, if we have not Christ in our hearts; and if we do have Christ in our hearts, nothing else matters.

"Convey to Them the Joy of the Resurrection"

A Conversation with a Mission Priest on His Experiences and Thoughts on Orthodoxy in America

Jesse Dominick, Fr. Timothy Hojnicki

"Without the message of salvation you will not be able to rejoice in the rest of it. Christ has come into the world to save us. When we have friends that are suffering or sad or mournful, we must convey to them the joy of the Resurrection—that’s what we’re called to do. If you can’t do that, then just shut the doors. Start with the basics."

On Names and Angels. The Day of Archangel Michael

Metropolitan Anthony of Sourozh

“There is no one like God”—in this is expressed all of the great Archangel’s knowledge of his God. He doesn’t describe Him, nor does he explain—he stands and witnesses.

Fr. George Calciu, My Spiritual Father

Word for Youth, Putna Monastery, Romania, August 2015

Frederica Mathewes-Green

The thing that impressed me most about Fr. George was his persistent cheerfulness. He would hold my hand and talk with me animatedly, as we stood in the nave of his church. He was full of joy, and I wondered how that was possible after such terrible suffering.
