Should we not care about those who are sinning? The answer given by Saint Basil the Great is negative, since he says that we shouldn’t be indifferent to our fellow human beings who are sinning. He bases his opinion on Holy Scripture. Saint Basil says that the Lord has given a clear commandment, both in the Old and New testaments regarding this matter. Indeed, in Leviticus, the Lord commands: ‘Rebuke your neighbor frankly, so that you do not share in their guilt’ (19, 17). And, again, in the Gospel, the Lord commands: If your relative sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over. But if they ...

When ordinary Christians say that they go to church for the Divine Liturgy, they generally mean that they go to church to follow the sacrament. But the Divine Liturgy isn’t a spectacle that we simply follow, nor a concert of hymns and readings that we listen to. It’s a divine work, which is celebrated by God’s priest together with His people. The very word ‘liturgy’ means ‘the work of the people’ (Greek ‘leitos’, which derives from laos = people)*.
