In the kingdom of heaven we will be with God eternally, we’ll see His glory and rejoice with Him. Our joy is ...

The prophet Elijah occupies a special place among the ranks of the prophets of the Old Testament, and his name is often mentioned in the New, both by the Lord or by various holy persons The word ‘prophet’ denotes someone who has the gift of prophecy, a teacher, a special organ for revelations of God.

A young man who wants to become a monk does so because he’s received the fire, the flame of Christ. And if this young man comes to monasticism, he doesn’t reject other people. Monastics who leave the world and enter the wilderness reject the sick spirit of the world, but not the human beings in it.

The Gospel extract which is read in churches is dedicated to them and is from our Lord’s sermon on the mount. Christ, as God and human, calls his disciples the light of the world. Let us look at Christ’s words more closely. What does the example of light imply? The Lord used the example of salt (Matth. 5, 13) and light for His disciples. The example of light is more sublime. According to Saint John Chrysostom, when He talks about the city on the hill, which can’t be hidden, He means ‘a strict way of living, a ...
