The Case of ‘Fools for Christ’

Fr. Andreas Agathokleous   Among the many saints- that is, the people who loved Christ, ‘with all their heart’ and expressed their love through self-denial and shouldering their cross- there are those we know as ‘fools for Christ’. Usually monastics, they present themselves to the world as mad, opposed to Read more…

Christianity is Radical

George Mantzarides, Professor Emeritus of the Theological School of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki   Christianity is radical. Where it isn’t radical, it isn’t authentic.

The Sunday of the Prodigal Son

From the Kyriakodromion of Monk Agapios God is always good and kind to everyone, more than patient with us. But He manifests His great goodness in particular towards those who are sinning. It looks as though He burdens the righteous on all sides and doesn’t give them any respite, yet He’s much Read more…

Sermon on the Apostolic reading for the Sunday of the prodigal son (1st Corinthians 6:12-20)

Metropolitan of Pisidia Sotirios   In the parable of the “Prodigal Son,” which we heard from the Holy Gospel (Luke 15:11-32), we saw a situation where a man embraces “prodigal living.” He was a free man who became a slave, and grazed with the “pigs” of his fleshly passions. This Read more…

Discourse on Repentance

Saint Saint Ephraim the Syrian   Let’s not be overwhelmed, then, by that fear which has to do with the things and conditions of this vain world. In other words, let’s not fear where there’s nothing to fear (I Jn. 4, 18). What human fear can compare with the fear Read more…

Again, on sorrows and patience

Saint Dimitri of Rostov   Patience in trials is a sure way of uniting ourselves to God. Complaining separates us from God, so patience forges our union with Him. So if you suffer all your trials with patience and gratitude, for His sake, He will reward you with eternal bliss. Read more…

The Gift of Far-sight and Other Miraculous Events

Manolis Karakostas   Another phenomenon which many who visit monastics have observed is the gift of far-sight which some of these people have.

A Journey with Sinners, Lunatics and Lovers..

Fr. Spyridon Skoutis   A lot of hesitations… Some people don’t want to go to confession, others are driven mad by being woken up early to go to church, the fast seems like a mountain, but dieting for the beach is a child’s game. You see a priest on the Read more…
