When the intellect begins to be close to God on a regular basis, it not only forgets where it lives, it even forgets the dwelling place of the soul, the flesh of clay.
How we ought not to despise those who are delivered up to unclean spirits. It’s clear that we ought not to hate or despise those whom we see to be delivered up to various temptations or to spirits of evil, because we ought firmly to hold on to these two points: first, that no-one can be tempted at all without God’s permission; and secondly that all things which are brought upon us by God, whether they seem to us at the time to be sad or joyful, are allowed for our advantage, as if by a most kind father and most compassionate physician, and that therefore we are, as it were, given into the charge of mentors. We’re humbled so that, ...

The way of life in large cities has degenerated in recent years.

Permanent residents have left city centers and are seeking a clear glade where they can breathe. This is apparent from the unheard of construction activity in the areas surrounding these large cities, as well as the crowds at ports and airports at holiday times. Yet these attempts to escape don’t always guarantee the longed for spiritual rest and inner peace. Holidays ...

The narrative has as its historical core the experience of danger which Jesus’ disciples lived through and the salvation which was provided by the presence of their Teacher Who appeared on the raging waves. The event took place immediately after the miraculous feeding of the five thousand, which was mentioned in the Gospel reading last Sunday. Apart from the actual experience of the disciples, however, the Gospel writers have preserved it because they saw in it a more profound significance for the Church.

Jesus was fully aware that ...
