We’re tortured by hatred, envy and malice. Tyranny beyond telling. Our soul doesn’t want this, but can’t get free of it. From a very early age, it became used to this tyranny, which has become deeply-rooted within us. You have to struggle hard to cast off this tyranny. We have to be transformed into love and achieve peace. It’s not easy, because our fall is monumental. Elder Tadej Vitovnički

The message of the Angels from heaven to humanity is of particular importance today concerning all the peoples on earth, who are suffering from confusion, anxiety, insecurity, deadly conflicts, exploitation and the sad consequences of the epidemic. And the question is: where do we end up with this situation? Along with all the other everyday problems in human societies, there are psychological ones that have been added, such as depression, despair, the tendency to commit suicide. The prophetic word always warns: “those who are far from You shall perish”(Psalm 72 , 27), either as individuals or as nations. These divinely inspired words have been verified countless times in the history of humankind. Therefore, only by returning to God can the world ...
The 40-day Nativity Fast is concluding. The great miracle of the Incarnation is at hand. Together we chant, “Christ is born, glorify Him!” Part III of our Christmas Spiritual Nourishment series focuses on the assigned Gospel reading, Matthew 2:1-12 (see below), for Christmas. We will examine two points in particular that Matthew the Evangelist describes and are noteworthy, especially in today’s society. The first is the deep desire of the “wise men from the East” who came in search of the Lord in order to worship Him. The second point is the “treasures” and “gifts” offered to the Lord by the wise men that we know are recorded as gold and frankincense and myrrh. On the first point, let us ask ourselves: do we diligently ...

The Gospel writers make the point that the Birth of ...
