We often hear in the Divine LIturgy and other Holy Services of the Church prayers and supplications before God that are related to “mercy,” such as: “Have mercy on us,O God, according to your great mercy…”; “ For you, O God, are merciful and love mankind … “; “By the mercy and compassion and love for man of Your Only-begotten Son…” These and many other similar expressions are heard repeatedly in our common worship, appealing to the merciful God. This truth of God’s mercy is revealed in the Bible, where it is frequently heard that “God is rich in mercy” (Ephesians 2:4); the Lord is compassionate and merciful (Psalm 102:8). And as the Apostle Peter writes, “The God and Father of ...
May 29, 1453. It is Tuesday. The day when the bright light of the Greek Christian world was covered with the dark veil of obscurantism. The city has fallen. The emperor has turned to stone. Hagia Sophia has been turned into a mosque. The thousand-year-old Byzantine Empire has collapsed. The evil that has befallen the Greeks is indescribable. They have lost almost everything. Fortunately, they did not lose their faith in the true God. For four hundred (400) years they suffered like no other people. Turkey, hand in hand with Islam, created the most satanic of plots to exterminate Hellenism. They created the janissary. They grabbed the Greek Christian children from the arms of their mothers, and proceeded to Islamize them and ...

What was Christ’s greatest miracle? Most people would say the raising of Lazarus. But Saint Isaac the Syrian disagrees, saying: ‘Someone who is aware of his or her sins and genuinely repents is on a higher level than a person who raises the dead. Raising a sinner from the necrosis of sin is greater than raising the body of a corpse. Certainly, all the occasions when Christ and the saints raised people in the body are astonishing miracles and are testimony to his victory over death and to the ‘general resurrection’ of our bodies which will be granted to us at his Second Coming. But if we are to share in the eternal glory of his reign, this requires the incomparably ...
What darkness, what derangement, what weakness and what a terrible, deathly force sin is. Why should we hate somebody else because their character’s different from ours? Because they disagree with us? Or because they don’t fuel our ego or feed our passions? Doesn’t each of us have our own free will, our own particular character, temperament, habits and ways of doing things? We should be gracious towards everyone and should respect their freedom, which even God Himself doesn’t violate. Saint John Kronstadtskij
