There are two forms of humility, just as there are two kinds of pride. The first form of pride is when you destroy another person, when you revile them as if they were mere nothings and think yourself vastly superior to them. If you fall into this kind of pride and don’t take immediate action, with proper care and attention to admonishing yourself, you’ll end up in the second kind of pride where eventually you’re proud even towards God, believing that whatever you achieve is through your own powers, and not through God. Indeed, brethren, I once knew somebody who was in this wretched condition. In the beginning, if any member of the community said something to him he’d spit on ...

And the crowds marveled, saying, ‘Never was anything like this seen in Israel’ (Matth.. 9, 33). In today’s Gospel reading, mention is made of two miracles performed by Our Lord Jesus Christ. One is the cure of the two blind men and the other the release of a deaf and dumb man possessed by a demon which was tormenting him and causing his ailment. Christ performed these miracles in order to demonstrate and emphasize to people that He is the Messiah, the Redeemer of the world, Whom they had been expecting. The miracles were features of His messianic capacity. And the reason He performed them was His infinite mercy and empathy towards us, His most perfect creation. First He made an effort ...
The heart gives life to our organism and humility gives life to the soul. Through egotism, people take the side of the wicked spirit, that is they grow in a spirit of evil rather than good.

TAKEN I’ve recently been reading folk songs, about the exploits of the klephts and wars, our own, engaging Greek affairs. ‘They’ve taken the City, taken it; they’ve taken Saloniki’. And the Voice that both of them were hymning there. ‘to the left, the emperor, the patriarch to the right’, was heard telling them to stop: ‘Put down your papers, priests, and close the Gospel books’ they’ve taken the City, taken it; they’ve taken Saloniki. But of the others, the one that touched me most is the Trapezuntine air, with its strange language, and the sorrow of those far-off Greeks who perhaps all believed that we’d yet be saved. But, alas, a fateful bird ‘comes from the city’ with a paper under its wing. Landing neither in the vineyard nor the orchard it went and alighted at ...
