Matins Livestream – Tuesday, December 2, 2025

Glory to Jesus Christ!

On December 2, the Orthodox Church commemorates the Holy Prophet Habbakuk, who proclaimed God’s steadfast justice and the enduring hope granted to the faithful. His witness encourages us to trust the Lord even when His purposes unfold slowly before our eyes.

Today’s readings deepen this message. In 1 Timothy 1:8–14, St. Paul speaks of the grace and mercy that transformed his life and strengthened him for ministry. In Luke 19:45–48, Christ purifies the Temple, restoring it as a house of prayer. Together, these passages invite us to allow the Lord to renew our hearts with holiness and clarity.

We welcome you to join us again for our next livestream service on December 3, 2025 at 6:30pm.

Glory to Jesus Christ!

On November 22, the Orthodox Church remembers the Holy Apostles Philemon, Apphia, Archippus, and Onesimus of the Seventy, beloved companions of the Apostle Paul and essential figures in the foundation of early Christian communities.

The day’s readings—2 Corinthians 11:1–6 and Luke 9:57–62—invite us to reflect on the cost of discipleship and the sincerity of our devotion to Christ. St. Paul, defending the integrity of his ministry, speaks with apostolic zeal, urging believers to remain steadfast in the true Gospel. In the Gospel reading, Christ teaches that following Him requires decisiveness, sacrifice, and a heart undivided by worldly concerns. Together, these passages remind us that discipleship is not casual—it is transformative and wholehearted.

The saints commemorated today embody this very spirit. Philemon, a gracious host of a house church; Apphia, revered as a motherly protector of the faithful; Archippus, admonished to “fulfill the ministry” entrusted to him; and Onesimus, once a runaway turned bishop—each displays the power of God’s grace at work in different circumstances. Their stories reflect repentance, service, courage, and the sanctifying strength of Christian community.

Please join us tomorrow, November 23, at 6:30 PM Eastern, as we live-stream Vespers on YouTube and on our website, stpanteleimon.com.

Vespers Livestream – Friday, November 21, 2025

Glory to Jesus Christ!

On November 22, the Orthodox Church commemorates the Holy Apostles Philemon, Apphia, Archippus, and Onesimus of the Seventy.

These four saints—early disciples and co-laborers of the Apostle Paul—played pivotal roles in the life of the apostolic Church. Philemon, a beloved fellow-worker of Paul, hosted a church in his home and received the short but profound Epistle to Philemon. Apphia, honored as a motherly figure in the faith, offered hospitality and protection to persecuted Christians. Archippus is remembered for his pastoral leadership and the exhortation to “fulfill the ministry” entrusted to him. Onesimus, once a runaway servant, became a model of repentance and later a bishop, a living testimony to the transformative power of the Gospel.

Their collective witness highlights the beauty of Christian fellowship, repentance, perseverance, and sacrificial love—virtues that remain at the heart of the Church’s life today. As we reflect on their example, we are reminded that every believer is called to serve Christ with courage and humility, trusting that God can transform every life for His glory.

We invite you to join us for Typica tomorrow, November 22, at 8:00 AM Eastern.

Words from the Saints -- November 20, 2025

“Wherever God is — there is peace. And the opposite is self-evident: where there is envy, enmity, impatience, self-love — there is the devil. Wherever the devil is — there, everything is ruinous, proud and hostile.” --St Anatoly of Optina

“The money you keep locked away is the money of the poor. The acts of charity you do not perform are the injustices you commit.” --St Basil the Great

“All our attention must be centered on the parable of the Prodigal Son.... He knows how the burden of sin on the soul and body...impels us...to return, and how it actually does turn many again to God, to a virtuous life.” --St John of Kronstadt

“Until a person achieves humility, he will receive no reward for his works.... And... ‘A humble person never falls. Being already lower than any, where can he fall?’ – vanity is a great humiliation, but humility is a great exalting, honor and dignity.” --St Isaac the Syrian

“In the mercy of God, the little thing done with humility will enable us to be found in the same place as the saints who have labored much and been true servants of God.” --St Dorotheus of Gaza

Typica Livestream – Thursday, November 20, 2025

Glory to Jesus Christ!

On November 20, the Orthodox Church celebrates Forefeast of the Entry of the Mother of God into the Temple.

The appointed readings—1 Thessalonians 5:1–8 and Luke 16:1–9—invite us to reflect on spiritual vigilance and faithful stewardship. St. Paul urges believers to remain “children of the light,” steadfast and sober-minded as we await the Lord’s coming. The Gospel reading offers the challenging parable of the unjust steward, reminding us that wisdom, accountability, and discernment are essential qualities in the Christian life. Together, these passages encourage us to be attentive to God’s gifts and purposeful in our spiritual journey.

As we preparation for the feast of the Mother of God, the Church also commemorates Our Holy Father Gregory of Decapolis, a defender of the Orthodox faith during the iconoclastic struggles, and St. Proclus, Archbishop of Constantinople, the devoted disciple and successor of St. John Chrysostom. Their courage, fidelity, and theological clarity continue to inspire believers today. Their lives serve as timely reminders that authenticity in faith requires courage, humility, and perseverance.

Matins Livestream – Wednesday, November 19, 2025

Glory to Jesus Christ!

On November 19, the Orthodox Church commemorates the Holy Prophet Obadiah and the Holy Martyr Barlaam, two radiant examples of steadfast devotion to God.

The scripture passages appointed for today—1 Thessalonians 4:1–12 and Luke 15:1–10—invite us to reflect deeply on God’s call to holiness and love. St. Paul urges the Thessalonians to “abound more and more” in purity and brotherly affection, reminding believers that sanctification is not merely an idea but a lived way of life. In the Gospel, Christ shares the parables of the lost sheep and the lost coin, revealing the immeasurable joy in heaven when even one soul turns back to God. These readings remind us that Christian love is active, persistent, and willing to seek out those who have wandered.

The Holy Prophet Obadiah, though author of the shortest Old Testament prophetic book, stands as a mighty voice calling Israel to repentance and justice. His words challenge us even today to return to the Lord with humility. The Holy Martyr Barlaam, an elderly believer who endured torture with unshakable resolve, offers us a profound witness of endurance. His refusal to deny Christ—even when forced to hold burning incense—reflects the Gospel’s teaching on persistence and faithfulness.

We invite you to join again tomorrow, November 20, at 8:00 AM Eastern, for our next livestream .
