Question: Can we offend God? Answer: Of course we can. Even from the beginning of the Bible, God says: ‘My Spirit shall not remain in them because they have become flesh’ (Gen. 6:3) and St Paul says, ‘Do not grieve the Holy Spirit’ (Eph. 4:30).

Christ had such manifestations while He was with us in the flesh. Saint Sophrony said that the Lord rarely rejoiced while He was on earth. He was always grieving about this world. Question: How is the fact that we can offend Him compared to ...

So the Church doesn’t merely recall the descent of the All-Holy Spirit but also experiences and records what this means for our life, for the presence of the Comforter on earth, how ...
Geronda truly shone forth in the monastic and spiritual struggle, and he became a light to those in darkness. This is evident from the deep reverence people have for him. They invoke his prayers and receive great help. Geronda works many signs and miracles. Many people see him, are helped by him, and feel great consolation from his presence. Especially here in North America, there are many people with strong faith in Elder Joseph. “According to your faith be it unto you,” Christ said. A physician in Ohio with great faith in the sanctity of Elder Joseph told us the following incidents in which he was helped by his prayers: One of my first encounters with Papou1 Joseph’s miracle- working powers occurred ...
