A soul which has been wounded by divine love is always joyful. It rejoices, gambols and dances because it floats securely in the Lord’s love, just as people do in calm water. No grievous event in the world can disturb its peace nor detract from its joy and delight.

On May 21st, the Church commemorates two saints with particular gratitude, for the great services rendered to God. They are St. Constantine, and his mother St. Helen. St. Constantine was born in the town of Nysos (which is now the city of Nis in Serbia) around 275 AD. His father, Constantius Chloros, was of Greek-Illyrian origin and rose to become Emperor of the Western half of the Roman Empire. His mother was a virtuous and devout Christian named Helen, who was born in the town of Drepana, Bithynia (Asia Minor) around the year 247 AD. History has called St. Constantine “the Great” for his prudence in politics, his military skill, his courage, and his role in the development of the ...

He described what happened as follows: While I was reading the second exorcism prayer, I noetically invoked the intercessions of Elder Joseph and of my spiritual father, Elder Ephraim. At that moment, the possessed woman ...
‘And after beating them harshly, they put them in prison and told the jailer to guard them well’. From the outset, Christianity has been associated with mistrust. It’s not just that belief in Christ engenders a way of life which is not pleasing to the world, since the main facets of this life are the rejection of the authority of the ego, and the adoption of asceticism, particularly that love which doesn’t react in the usual way of self-interest, vengeance and concern for enrichment. Instead it offers and is offered, while its faith in eternity and the resurrection, that is fearlessness in the face of death, is a cause of bewilderment. How is it that, in an atmosphere in which death ...
