After the Fast: A Word from St. John Chrysostom
Beloved, even if the fasting is over, let the piety remain. Even if the time of the holy quarantine [forty-day fast] is gone by, let us not put aside the memory of it. Let no one feel displeasure at this exhortation; for I do not say it to impose on you another period of fasting, but because I wish you both to relax and to display now a more exact kind of fasting--but the true one. For it is possible for one who is not fasting to fast. How is this? I shall tell you. Whi

The Crucifixion, Resurrection, and Redemption -- Fr. George Florovsky
Editor's Note: With this Holy Week's post, we share the following section from an article which Florovsky considered one of his "best achievements, and probably my only ones" (along with his article on the doctrine of Creation). As we notice a swell of converts entering the Church, we also sometimes see competing ideas of Christ's redemption. While rationalistic syllogisms, Scripture verses, and patristic quotes are thrown back and forth in some of these discussions (especial

Celibate Clerics and Family Matters
From Archimandrite Epiphanios Theodoropoulos Editor's Note: Many times, an opinion is proffered which states that celibate monastics cannot offer advice on marital relations. Among the saints of the Church, no one teaches this and many teach the opposite.

To a Priest About the World Crisis from St. Nikolai Velimirovich
Saint Nikolai (Velimirovich) of Zhicha (Serbia) You ask me, O man of God, where did today’s crisis come from and what does it mean? Who am I to be asked about such a great thing? “You should only speak when what you have to say is better than silence,” says St. Gregory the Theologian. And even though I believe that silence would be better right now, I will give you my opinion on it for the sake of my love for you. Crisis is a Greek word, and it means judgment. In the Holy Scr
