Christ’s Behavior (Matth. 4, 12-17)

Metropolitan Ioïl (Frangkakos) of Edessa, Pella, and Almopia   ‘When he heard that John had been delivered up, he withdrew into Galilee’. Christ’s behavior towards people wasn’t monolithic.

The Word became flesh (John 1, 14) A Sermon on the Nativity of Christ

Saint John of Kronstadt   The Word became flesh; that is, the Son of God, co-eternal with God the Father and with the Holy Spirit, became human — having become incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary. O, wondrous, awesome and salvific mystery! The One Who had no Read more…

11th Sunday of Luke: Will we accept Christ’s invitation?

Sotirios Theologou   The voice of the Lord is directed towards all of us who are concerned with the necessities of life and, perhaps, have our mind on them alone. You might ask how we’re supposed to hear the Lord’s voice. Through the Gospel. Today is the Sunday of the Read more…

The Achievement of Faith (11th Sunday of Luke- of the Forefathers) [2]

Elder Joseph of Vatopaidi   Now we proceed with the same faith, which is no longer abstract, however, because the promises have come, the fullness of time has arrived, the incarnation of the Word of God has occurred and the ‘angel of great counsel’ has appeared (Is. 9, 6). Our Read more…

The Good Unbelief of Thomas

Elder Moses the Athonite †   In one of its hymns, our Church calls the unbelief of Thomas “good”. Understandably one would wonder – is there good and bad unbelief? There seems to be, because humans are not purely good or evil. In one who has a clean conscience, good Read more…

Great Friday. Christ on Golgotha!

Saint Nicholas Velimirovich   The fourth evil-doer was Pilate, Caesar’s representative in Jerusalem, who in a sense stood for the whole of the pagan world at the trial of Christ. Pilate looked down on the Jews, and the Jews returned the favour. At first he wasn’t of a mind to Read more…

Christ as Beggar

Dr. Haralambis Bousias   Christ, our Redeemer, eternal love, is our merciful God, but also a tenacious beggar. He knocks at the door of our heart and entreats us to give him something. What does he ask for? He beseeches us: ‘Son, give me your heart’ (Wis. 18, 26). Alas, we Read more…

Sunday before the Nativity of Christ: the Good Tidings

Archimandrite Varnavas Lambropoulos   When people aren’t feeling at their best, what they least want to hear is bad news. On the other hand, what they’re always wanting to hear is a good bit of news that’ll give them a boost and the courage to get on with life. Incontrovertible Read more…

What do you have in your memory?

Saint Amfilokhios Makris   You should always call Christ to mind, with love. We might be holding a photograph of someone but, because we don’t know them well, we don’t love them, it doesn’t move us. When you hold a photograph of your mother, though, your soul immediately leaps and Read more…
