If the need arises for you to chastise one of the brotherhood, and you’re upset and angry, don’t speak at all, otherwise you’ll become even more distressed. But when you see both him and yourself in a better state of meekness, then speak- not to chide him, but as if you’re reminding him of the way things should be, with great humility.
The Sunday of the Holy Fathers, which our Church celebrates during the period of Pentecost, is dedicated to the memory of the Holy and God-Bearing Fathers of the 1st Ecumenical Synod in Nicea, at which Athanasios the Great and Saint Spyridon the Wonder-Worker were present and testified as to the true faith. The Synod, acting in the Holy Spirit, expressed the traditional faith of the Church and formulated its dogmatic teaching on the second Person of the Holy Trinity, that is, Jesus Christ the Son and Word of God, Who was both God and human. The importance of the 1st Ecumenical Synod lies in the fact that it protected the faith from the heretical teaching of Arius and his supporters, who ...

When people are ashamed of themselves and disgusted by their actions, through which they’ve affronted God’s love and sanctity, they’re shocked to the core, they feel that their heart’s in pain and is saddened. Then they’re humbled in the face of God’s majesty and they make the decision to repent.
The Lord’s Ascension is the visible sign of God’s reconciliation with us, but also the glorification of our human nature. This reconciliation and our glorification were achieved through the incarnation of the Son and Word of God, His teachings, His voluntary Passion, His glorious Resurrection, culminating in His Ascension into heaven. The Ascension is described by the Evangelists Mark (16, 19) and Luke (24, 50-51), as well as in the Acts of the Apostles (1, 9-11). As regards the time of the event, the book of Acts tells us that it occurred forty days after the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. The Lord remained on earth for the duration of this time so that His disciples could realize fully ...

‘This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven’ (Acts 1, 9-11). With the handing-back of the great feast, yesterday saw the completion of forty days after Easter, and today our Holy Church celebrates the joyous event of Our Lord Jesus Christ’s glorious Ascension into heaven. In other words, we celebrate His return to the right hand of our God and Father. Therefore today is one of the twelve feasts of the Lord. It was for the good of the disciples that the Lord ascended, because otherwise the Spirit would not have descended upon them, since He is the Spirit of the Word and dwells in ...
