Fr. Glenn: Treading Water

by

Fr. Glenn Jones:

Well, we’re coming close to Easter. Next weekend (March 27 this year) is Passion (Palm) Sunday, in which we remember and contemplate especially the passion of Jesus—His arrest, torture and crucifixion. This is why the Catholic devotion—very common during Lent—of the Stations of the Cross. We Christians should be more attentive to meditate on His passion frequently, because Jesus does it for us … takes upon Himself the deserved punishment that our sins and wrongs against God and one another deserve. He saves us from ourselves.

As analogy, we might imagine we’re on the Titanic Read More

The hand of the Lord came upon me, and he brought me out by the spirit of the Lord and set me down in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones. He led me all around them; there were very many lying in the valley, and they were very dry. He said to me, “Mortal, can these bones live?” Ezekiel 37:1.

Six years ago, clergy friends and I were wondering if our congregations would survive. We couldn’t hold services. Parishioners Read More

Op-Ed: The Best Of Intentions – A Call To Awareness

by

By Fr. Theophan Mackey
Rector
Saint Job of Pochaiv Orthodox Church

When I sit down at the pottery wheel, I always have the best of intentions. Whether I have a specific form in mind, or want to make a special gift for someone, or just want to clear my mind from pressing issues that threaten my sanity.

We all, when we start something new, have the best of intentions. We hope, or at least have the general sense, that things will turn out well. We wouldn’t really start them otherwise. I still believe that very few people actually try to do bad things consciously from the start.

But things can and do go sideways, Read More
