Today there are many who strive to corrupt everything: the family, the youth, the Church. In our day it’s a true witness to speak up for one’s people, for the state is waging war against divine law. It’s laws are directed against the Law of God.

Why did we imagine that without Him, without communing of Him, we could live and accomplish anything? Why did we imagine that without communing of Christ, we could rid ourselves of our sins, of our sorrows and disappointments, of our despondency, our coarseness and despair? Why did we imagine that we could obey His commandment and love one another without communing of His Body, which is also His Church?
Fr. Stephen Freeman
We have a very strange relationship with our bodies. On the one hand, we spend large sums of money making them look good and we want them to feel good. We have bodies, but we are our minds.

Today is a special day for Americans, but it also provides us with a wonderful opportunity to remind Orthodox Christians around the world to give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good, and His mercy endureth forever.

Having delivered this sermon forty years after the Bolshevik revolution in Russia, Bishop Nektary compares the indifference the of rest of the world, even Christians, to the torture, imprisonment, and murder of millions of innocent victims in the Soviet Union, with the priest and Levite in the parable of the Good Samaritan. Perhaps we should heed this message when we read about the terrible suffering today in the Middle East, Africa, or eastern Ukraine?
