Prayers By The Lake – St. Nicolai
Read more: Prayers By The Lake – St. NicolaiThis poem by St. Nicolai Velimirovic reminds me of the cadences of the Song of the Three Young Men. All creation truly gives voice to its praises.

A Royal Nun and the Angels
Read more: A Royal Nun and the AngelsThe following is a short excerpt from Mother Alexandra’s (former Princess Ileana of Romania) small book, The Holy Angels. It is by far the best treatment I have seen on the subject despite its short length. This short account tells of her encounter with her guardian angel at age seven. In the service of Orthodox […]

This world contains no source of energy for prayer. If I eat well so that my body may be strong, my flesh will rebel against prayer. […]

Stones Cry Out
Read more: Stones Cry OutChrist, in a dialog with the rulers of His time, refused to ask His followers to be quiet.

Speaking Carefully
Read more: Speaking CarefullyI officiated at a wedding last Sunday – one of several this year at the Church. It is always interesting to be part of an Orthodox wedding.

Imagination, which is only one of the mind’s activities, is overindulged and dominates men’s lives, leading some to hardness of heart due to pride, and others to mental illness. According to the teaching of the Gospel and the Scriptures, the […]
