A young man who wants to become a monk does so because he’s received the fire, the flame of Christ. And if this young man comes to monasticism, he doesn’t reject other people. Monastics who leave the world and enter the wilderness reject the sick spirit of the world, but not the human beings in it.

Today our Church celebrates the Fathers who took part in the Fourth Ecumenical Synod which deliberated and concluded definitively concerning the two natures of Christ. The Gospel extract which is read in churches is dedicated to them and is from our Lord’s sermon on the mount. Christ, as God and human, calls his disciples the light of the world.

According to Saint John Chrysostom, when He talks about the city on the hill, which can’t be hidden, He means ‘a strict way of living, a ...
During the Divine Liturgy, just before the recitation of the Creed, the priest urges the faithful: ‘Let us love one another, that with one mind we may confess’. Confess what? The people reply (through the singers): ‘Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Trinity consubstantial and undivided’. In other words, our faith in the one true God, the Holy Trinity.

So He can see that we’re sincere in our expression of love, which is the embrace. In former times, this embrace was also given outside ...
