New Ukrainian Saints:
Recalling history in a Knot-Shell
Recently, the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, Moscow Patriarchate,
glorified two new Ukrainian Saints and further glorified a new
miracle-working Icon of the Mother of God. One of the Saints canonized
recalls a painful period of Ukrainian Church history. And it is said
that the lessons of history must be learned, lest we be doomed to repeat
them again. more

The Veneration of Relics: Making the Holy Spirit "matter" If there is one message that permeates the length and breadth of the
Great Fast, it is that holiness is everyone's business! For the Orthodox
Church, holiness is not primarily about upright moral behaviour,
fulfilling the commandments of God and the Church, although these are
undoubtedly important. Holiness is not what we do, but what God does in
us. It is, as St Seraphim of Sarov said, "The acquisition of the Holy
Spirit" and this is the goal of our Christian life.

questions:

Saint Demetrius of Rostov wrote: "First of
all it must be understood that it is the duty of all Christians..to strive
always and in every way to be united with God, their Creator, Lover,
Benefactor and their Supreme Good, by whom and for whom they were
created." A simple answer to the question of why we are here and where we
are going. But sometimes not that simple to live by. Failure is part of
our process of getting there. St. John Climacus whom we honour this
Fourth Sunday of Lent has written:
“Do not be
surprised that you fall every day; do not give up, but stand your ground
courageously. And assuredly, the angel who guards you will honour your
patience.” Consistence and persistence, inspired by the Love of God Who
created us and Who continually looks after us, will bring us to the goal
for which we were made: union with God!
