Glory to Jesus Christ!

On November 12, the Orthodox Church commemorates St. John the Almsgiver, Patriarch of Alexandria.

St. John is remembered as a living icon of mercy—feeding the hungry, clothing the poor, and serving Christ through boundless acts of compassion. His life continues to remind the faithful that charity is not merely a virtue but a way of life in the Kingdom of God.

The Scripture readings for today, 1 Thessalonians 2:1–8 and Luke 12:48–59, speak to the heart of Christian stewardship and reconciliation. The Apostle Paul calls believers to share both word and life in the Gospel, while Christ urges His followers to live in peace and be ready for His coming.

Our next livestream will take place tonight at 6:30 (Eastern), here and on our Facebook page.

May the intercessions of St. John the Almsgiver strengthen us all in mercy, humility, and love.

On November 11, the Orthodox Church commemorates the Holy Great Martyr Menas—a valiant servant of Christ whose steadfast faith continues to inspire the faithful throughout the ages.

The Scripture readings appointed for today—1 Thessalonians 1:6–10 and Luke 12:42–48—speak to the call for spiritual vigilance and faithful stewardship. Through the example of St. Menas, we are reminded that true devotion is measured not in words but in perseverance and love for God.

We invite you to participate reverently in this Orthodox Christian prayer service, and to join us again for our next livestream on Wednesday, November 12, 2025, at 6:30 PM (Eastern).

Glory to Jesus Christ!

On November 10, the Orthodox Church commemorates Holy Apostles Erastus, Olympas, Herodian, Sosipater, Quartus, and Tertius of the Seventy. These six apostles, companions of St. Paul, were among the earliest missionaries who carried the message of Christ to the nations. Though less well-known than the Twelve, their zeal, perseverance, and unity in Christ laid the foundations of the Church across the ancient world.

Today’s readings beautifully echo their witness. In 1 Thessalonians 1:1–5, St. Paul commends the Thessalonian believers for their “work of faith and labor of love,” words that just as easily describe these holy apostles. And in Luke 12:13–15, 22–31, Christ teaches His followers to rise above earthly anxieties and to seek first the Kingdom — a lesson these saints embodied, forsaking worldly comfort to proclaim eternal truth.

Join us for our next livestream service on Wednesday, November 12, 2025, at 6:30 PM Eastern Time, as we continue our journey of faith together.

Glory to Jesus Christ!

On November 7, the Orthodox Church commemorates Our Holy Father and Wonderworker Lazarus the Stylite of Mount Galesius. St. Lazarus, who lived in the 10th century, was known for his extraordinary ascetic life — standing upon a pillar for many years as a “stylite,” or pillar-dweller, dedicating his days and nights to unceasing prayer and intercession for the world.

The Apostle Paul’s words in Colossians 4:10–18 call the Church to faithfulness and steadfastness in ministry, while the Lord’s teaching in Luke 12:2–12 reminds us to confess Christ boldly and to trust in the guidance of the Holy Spirit. St. Lazarus exemplified both virtues: hidden from the world in solitude, yet shining brightly with divine grace. His life teaches us that holiness is not found in grand acts but in perseverance, humility, and love for God.

We invite you to join our next livestream service on Monday, November 10, 2025, at 8:00 AM Eastern Time.

Glory to Jesus Christ!

On November 6, the Orthodox Church commemorates St. Paul the Confessor, Archbishop of Constantinople. This holy hierarch, who lived during the fourth century, is remembered for his fearless defense of the Orthodox faith amid fierce persecution by Arian heretics and imperial power.

St. Paul succeeded St. Alexander as Archbishop of Constantinople and quickly became a target of those who opposed the Nicene Creed. Though exiled multiple times and ultimately martyred for his faith, he remained steadfast in proclaiming that the Son of God is “Light from Light, true God from true God.” His life stands as a shining example of endurance, conviction, and deep love for Christ’s Church.

Glory to Jesus Christ!

On November 3, the Orthodox Church commemorates the Holy Martyrs Akepsimus the Bishop, Joseph the Priest, and Aethalas the Deacon of Persia. These three saints, steadfast in their love for Christ, endured persecution and martyrdom during the fourth century for refusing to renounce their faith.

Today’s readings from Colossians 2:13–20 and Luke 11:29–33 remind us that through Christ’s Cross, we are freed from the bondage of sin and called to shine as lights in a world seeking signs. The martyrs of Persia exemplified this truth — their faith was not hidden under a basket, but illuminated the hearts of countless believers through their sacrifice and courage.

We invite you to join our next livestream on Wednesday, November 5, 2025, at 6:30 PM Eastern Time. Together, let us continue to grow in faith and fellowship through prayer and reflection.

Words from the Saints -- October 30, 2025

"God and our conscience know our secrets. Let them correct us." --St. Mark the Ascetic

"How can you find out if you are living within the will of God? Here is the sign: If you are troubled about anything, this means that you have not completely given yourself over to the will of God. A person who lives in the will of God is not concerned over anything. And if he needs anything, he gives both it and himself over to God. And if he does not receive the necessary thing, he remains calm nevertheless, as if he had it. The soul which has been given over to the will of God is afraid of nothing, not of thunder nor of thieves - nothing. But whatever happens, she says, "Thus it pleases God." If she is sick, she thinks: this means that I need to be sick, or else God would not have given it to me. Thus peace is preserved in both soul and body." --St. Silouan the Athonite

"Happy is the man in whom there is love for God, for he bears God within himself. The one in whom there is love is with God, above all things. Whoever has love in himself does not fear. He is never mad at anyone, nor does he exalt himself above anyone. He does not calumniate anyone, nor does he listen to the calumniator. He does not compete with anyone, is not jealous, does not rejoice in the fall of another, does not slander the fallen, but sympathizes with him and helps him. He does not disdain his brother who is fallen into need, but helps him and is ready to die for him. Whoever has love fulfills the will of God." --St. Ephraim the Syrian

Glory to Jesus Christ!

On October 30, the Orthodox Church commemorates the Holy Martyrs Zenobius and Zenobia. These holy siblings from Aegea gave their lives for Christ during the persecutions of Diocletian, bearing witness to unwavering faith and the eternal power of divine love.

In today’s Epistle reading (Colossians 1:24–29), the Apostle Paul speaks of rejoicing in his sufferings for the sake of Christ’s Body, the Church. His words echo in the lives of Saints Zenobius and Zenobia, who endured pain not with despair but with the joy that comes from union with the Lord. The Gospel reading (Luke 11:14–23) reminds us that Christ’s kingdom is not divided — He is the one who drives out evil and brings light where darkness seeks to dwell.

Words from the Saints -- October 23, 2025

"When Scripture says 'He will reward every man according to his works' (Matthew 16:27), do not imagine that works in themselves merit either hell or the kingdom. On the contrary, Christ rewards each man according to whether his works are done with faith or without faith in Himself; and He is not a dealer bound by contract, but God our Creator and Redeemer." --St. Mark the Ascetic

"In everything that we do God searches out our purpose to see whether we do it for Him or for some other motive." --St. Maximos the Confessor

"If you want to be free of all the passions, practice self-control, love and prayer." --St. Thalassios the Libyan

"Even if others make war against us, it is right for us to remain in peace." --St. John Chrysostom

As the leader of the Church in Jerusalem, he presided over the first Apostolic Council (Acts 15), helping to define the path of the growing Christian community. His epistle, read in Orthodox churches throughout the world, teaches the inseparable bond between faith and works, reminding believers that “faith without works is dead” (James 2:26).
