Fr. James Guirguis
The Lord Jesus tells us that the one who does not forgive another is essentially putting that person into a type of prison.
St. Seraphim (Chichagov)
Through Jesus Christ, men were reunited with the eternal God and received eternal life. No matter how much they try to twist and distort God’s law, the eternal death of human souls has been destroyed, and eternal life is inevitable! Eternal life is knowing the one true God and Jesus Christ Whom He sent.
Athanasios Zoitakis
The saint was not only an outstanding Orthodox enlightener; he is truly considered a great prophet of latter times. St. Cosmas of Aitolia left a great number of stunningly exact prophecies about the future of mankind (about scientific inventions, wars, and ecological catastrophes). Many of his predictions have already come to pass, while others are still awaiting their fulfillment.
On Monday, September 2, over one hundred pilgrims arrived at the hillside desert monastery of St. Herman of Alaska, co-founded by Fr. Seraphim (Rose). All wished to prayerfully commemorate the day of Fr. Seraphim’s repose in the Lord.
Priest Anthony Rusakevich
From people who are not church-goers or are far from Christianity one complaint against the Orthodox Church is an outsider’s lack of understanding of the service in general and some prayers in particular. We often hear such questions as: “Why can’t I pray in my own words, but have to God through other people’s texts?”
