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.

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 ...

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 ...
