At a time of deep divisions in societies in many parts of the world, we would do well to recall the attitude of an elderly Greek priest in the wake of the dreadful massacre at Distomo in June 1944. The following extract is taken from the book Min Odysse (My Odyssey), by the then Head of the International Red Cross in Greece, the Swede Sture Linner. We were married on June 14. Emil Santrom, chair of the Greek Committee, organized a wedding banquet for the occasion. Late in the evening he approached me and pulled me aside to a corner, away from the laughter and voices, to talk privately. He showed me a telegram he had just received: for three days, ...

Today is the joyful celebration of Holy Pentecost! In the Acts of the Apostles, we hear in detail how the Holy Spirit came down upon the Apostles and those first faithful who were devoted to the Lord, some one hundred and twenty of them. What happened after is amazing, in that three thousand people were baptized on the same day, and the Holy Church of Christ was revealed on earth. The great event of Pentecost gives us the opportunity to get to know the Holy Spirit, including His relationship with the faithful, and how we as the faithful can receive His blessings. In the Creed (or the Confession of Faith), we declare that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the ...

Shallow people with secular education are full of themselves and are proud. They’re like the satellites up in the air and give the impression that they’re stars, whereas, in reality, if you pay careful attention to them, you’ll notice their slip-ups and realize that it’s all human falsehood.

‘He said this concerning the Spirit’ On the last day of the feast of the Tabernacles, Christ revealed that He Himself is the source of life. Because people would be leaving to go back to their homes, Christ’s words were provisions for their salvation. The Lord said that those who were thirsty should come to Him and that rivers of living water would flow from their bellies (John 7, 38). The word ‘belly’ here means the heart. Clearly, the ‘water’ is the grace of the Holy Spirit. The Lord is the unfailing fount of the grace of the Holy Spirit. When the Holy Spirit takes up residence in our heart, Christ’s gifts and talents flow incessantly. As He said to the ...
