This is Saint Isaac the Syrian on the Feast of Christ Nativity: “This is the night of the most gentle one. Let no one be cruel. This is the night of the humble one. Let no one be proud. Now is the day of joy. Let us not revenge.” → [Watch Video]
Why is it so hard to be a Christian? How do we address habitual sin – the passions… our obsessions, compulsions, and addictions? Rooted in honesty and repentance, spiritual healing is a profound journey. Embrace the struggle with faith, prayer, and grace.

Here’s a clip from a session of my church’s online Bible Study. The New Testament describes two kinds of time – “chronos” and “kairos.” The difference between the two is immense… eternal even.
The healing grace of Christ is offered to us so that we can move forward — or better still, upward — in life.
St Paul calls envy (or covetousness) idolatry. There’s one way to overcome it – radical gratitude.
The opening lines of the Parable of the Good Samaritan are enough to show us why this is truly Good News.
The title says it all: How the Orthodox Church defines the fear of God. My sermon at St Nicholas Cathedral in Fort Wayne, Indiana, on Sunday, October 29, 2023.
Here’s a sermon from a couple of years ago at St. Nicholas Cathedral in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Is there a code in the Bible? Yes, actually. But it’s no secret… and it points to Good News for all humanity.
