Sermons in a Nutshell
Worship

Some reposed members have been laid out in church instead of at a funeral home. Is this something done for “special reasons or circumstances,” or can anyone be laid out in church?

Faith Great Lent

In today’s day and age it seems that the Orthodox Christian Faith is the only church which actually challenges its faithful. Other denominations don’t go through the rigors of fasting, extra services, etc, so why should we?

Worship

Why does the Gospel of John refer to miracles as “signs?”

Quotes

A collection of scriptural meditations from Saints and Fathers of the Church.

Soul

If the soul is vigilant and withdraws from all distraction and abandons its own will, then the spirit of God invades it and it can conceive because it is free to do so.

Abba Cronius

Today's Thought on Talking

"Think also of this: the person who is bound to earthly things may rejoice but may also be upset or disturbed or grieved over earthly things: his mind is exposed to continual changes. But the joy of your master (Matthew 25:21) is enduring, for God is unchangeable. Thus control your tongue at the same time as you discipline your body with fasting and strictness. Talkativeness is a great enemy of prayer. A spate of fluttering words stands in the way of the words of prayer. This is the reason that we shall render account for every careless word we utter (Matthew 12:36). One does not bring the dust of the road into a room that one wishes to keep clean; thus keep your heart free from gossip and chatter about the events of the day that is past."

Tito Colliander, Way of the Ascetics

"The grace of the priesthood is one thing, the grace of the great schema is another, the grace of the Mysteries is different, and the action of grace in ascesis is also different. They all spring from the same source, but each one differs from the other in eminence and glory. The grace of repentance, which acts in those who struggle, is a patristic inheritance. It is a divine transaction and exchange in which we give dust and receive heaven. We exchange matter for the Spirit. Every drop of sweat, every pain, every ascesis for God is an exchange."

- Elder Joseph the Hesychast, Monastic Wisdom
