Saturday, August 2, 2014. The Nature of Man. The following is a chapter taken from the book "O Death where is thy Sting? One of the popular critiques of Christianity relates to its teaching about the fall of man. In this teaching the opponents of Christianity see a pessimistic attitude and the demeaning of human dignity. Perhaps in light of what I was discussing previously this accusation begins to lose its demagogic sting. What is the meaning of this story, which greets us like a child’s fable? We began...

Friday, August 28, 2015. I love therefore I am. Wednesday, August 12, 2015. The paradox of weakness and strength can be difficult to understand. One can say, "How can I find beauty and goodness when I am lying in a hospital bed and I do not have control over the condition that has taken a hold of me? Weakness carries within it a secret power. The cry and the trust that flow from weakness can open up hearts. The one who is weaker can call forth powers of love in the one who is stronger. Do tho...One aspec...

Friday, September 26, 2014. The Live Giving Cross. Today the church celebrates the feast of the living giving cross! The following is a sermon by Father Matthew the Poor said on the feast of the cross in 1976. It is taken from the book, "Words for our Time". Hail to the Cross! Hail to the life-giving Wood! A strong objection arises in the mind of each of us at times which asks, "How can we say, 'Hail to the Cross'? Do we worship idols, as the Protestants say of us?

Sunday, February 22, 2015. In the Orthodox Church, the last Sunday before Great Lent – the day on which, at Vespers, Lent is liturgically announced and inaugurated – is called Forgiveness Sunday.

What is the meaning of this rite?
