The Trap of Religiosity

Vasileios Stoyiannos, Professor A.U.Th. and Civil Governor of Mount Athos (†)   The Christian faith is a ‘path of life’. It’s a way that continues as long as people live, with no stops and no delays. It’s continual movement, parallel to our daily life and activities. Along this road we Read more…

Theology of Events (Titus 3, 8-15)

Archimandrite Varnavas Lambropoulos   A superficial reading of today’s epistle gives the impression of dry moralism. Saint Paul twice urges the faithful to devote themselves to good works, considering these to be evidence of the fruits of the spirit. And he recommends them to avoid heretics [‘divisive people’] ‘after a Read more…

Sincerity: abhorrence of pretense

Archimandrite Theofilos Lemontzis, D. Th.   Moralism is a typical example of hypocrisy.

‘Who is to blame?’ (Sunday of the Blind Man)

Saint Nicholas Velimirovich   ‘And his disciples asked him: “Teacher, who is to blame, him or his parents, that he was born blind’” (Jn. 9, 2). A short time before, the Lord had cured the paralytic at the pool of the Sheep’s Gate and had told him: ‘Go and sin Read more…

Remembrance of God’s Blessings

Fr. Andreas Agathokleous   The problems, sins and mistakes we have in our lives are many and various. At times a sense of disappointment weighs upon our hearts. We wonder whether this is how life’s going to continue. Is there any prospect of improvement? Will we ever see better days? Read more…

Freedom’s Hideaway

Metropolitan Meletios of Nikopolis †   On the evening of Great Friday, we begin the service with a rather strange tropario. It’s a hymn which is joyful rather than mournful. Not a lament, but a hymn of praise: ‘God is the Lord and has appeared to us…’. The one and Read more…

The Life-Giving Word (Sunday of the Paralytic)

Ioannis Karavidopoulos, Professor Emeritus of New Testament Hermeneutics, A. U. Th.   The subject of the narrative in the Gospel of Saint John (5, 1) concerning the complaint of the man who’d been paralyzed for 38 years, is genuinely moving: ‘I have no-one to put me into the pool when Read more…
