June 20, 2015. Middot; by Fr. James Guirguis. The Reading from the Holy Gospel according to St. Matthew 6:22-33. In today’s gospel reading we hear a portion of the famous Sermon on the Mount. These chapters 5, 6 and 7 from the Gospel of St. Matthew are the core teachings of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. They show the Lord Jesus as the new Moses who gives these new commandments to the New Israel, both Jews and Gentiles. How do we balance our use of money with our love for God? They give us a chance to...

Watering the seedling of faith. August 8, 2015. Middot; by Fr. James Guirguis. The Reading from the Holy Gospel according to St. Matthew 17:14-23. One of the strongest and most difficult statements of our Lord Jesus Christ to His disciples is found in today’s passage. Our Lord says to the disciples O faithless and perverse generation, how long am I to be with you? How long am I to bear with you? This is offered to us as a challenge and a warning! Where is my faith today? Where is our faith? In corporate ...

Orthodoxy is Orthodoxy: Sacraments
http://orthodoxyisorthodoxy.blogspot.com/2015/05/sacraments.html
Wednesday, 20 May 2015. All sacraments are an epiclesis, all sacraments call the Holy Spirit upon a reality to reveal the fullness of that reality, to bring forth what is there, to release the full potential.". We might say that the symbol does not so much “resemble” the reality that it symbolizes as it participates in it, and therefore it is capable of communicating it in reality. Fr Alexander Schmemann,.

Orthodoxy is Orthodoxy: On The Creation
http://orthodoxyisorthodoxy.blogspot.com/2015/08/on-creation.html
Friday, 7 August 2015. As for the way in which he made creation happen, we do not have the means to say. I affirm that it is beyond any way of expression known to us: how indeed could what exceeds understanding be explained? Moses also states that that God created through the all-powerful Word: in fact his creator-Word of the universe is God himself and proceeds from God by nature. "God said," Moses continues, "Let there be a firmament! God spoke thus to us:. In fact, when the Creator of the world had ma...

Orthodoxy is Orthodoxy: A Shared Ethos
http://orthodoxyisorthodoxy.blogspot.com/2013/04/a-shared-ethos.html
Wednesday, 24 April 2013. I first read St Ephrem, St Severus, and VC Samuel at a Byzantine seminary. In addition, I never understood why we put the cross in the baptismal font during. Until I saw what the Byzantines do in their tradition. (and no, I’m not going to share, to find out everyone will have to do the ghastly act of researching another Orthodox experience). Greek, Ethiopian, and even Armenian traditions. It was an amazing experience. We will not lose our. Fr Mat Alexander, http. I think Fr Mat ...
