The two brothers, Simon and Andreas, plied the trade of fishermen (Mk. 1, 16) and came from Bethsaida (Jn. 1, 44), as did another of Christ’s disciples, Philip (Jn. 12, 21) At the time of the calling of the first disciples, Mark tells us that there were two other brothers, James and John, the sons of Zebedee who were called by Christ to follow Him (Mk. 1, 19-20). Both Mark and Matthew place the calling of the two disciples in Capernaum not in Bethsaida, the home town of the disciples and one which played an important role in Christ’s public ministry. Capernaum and Bethsaida belonged to different tetrarchies: Capernaum was in that of Antipas and Bethsaida in that of Philip. The ...

The real scourge of humankind, particularly nowadays, is the feeling of insecurity and uncertainty which is the concomitant of sin, of our effort to revolt, that is, our desire to become ‘the masters of our fate’ and thereby dethroning God from His place as our Creator and Lord. But in this way an enormous and terrifying vacuum is created within us which, when we realize it consciously or unconsciously and are horrified at the abyss of its dimensions, we think we can deal with by accumulating a great deal of material wealth, so that we can feel secure in the world and can ignore the troublesome thought of death. But in doing all this, the only thing we achieve is to ...

Saint Silouan says that he never found an Elder that reached the measure of his father, who was so kind-hearted. He desired a meek Elder, not a fearful one with a mighty hand. Before he met Saint Silouan, Father Sophrony had cried burning tears asking for an Elder that could understand the need of his mind and heart. He himself had a tender attitude and never had to offend people that approached him, but when he perceived pride, he could be stern. Many Elders are meek and kind-hearted, but people do not understand and mistake it for weakness. They do not reckon with it and they prefer other ‘mighty’ Elders, because they do not have the discernment to see what ...

Saint John says something very much inspired by God: ‘Monastics are the light for lay people; angels are the light for monastics’. He says this not to denigrate lay people. He says it to show the majesty of the experience of the Church, in which a monastic can strive, dedicate himself or herself and receive the Grace of the Holy Spirit in a special way, though they do so as members of the Church.
