Wednesday of the Second Week of Lent. What Is Your Foundation Made of?

03/08/2017

Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain. Psalm 127:1 (Read at every Pre-Sanctified Liturgy) Our son loves to build things with Legos. One day, we were building a “skyscraper,” taking all of the Legos and building a tall tower. Nicholas was much younger back then, and as he was building, he had left some empty spaces

But when the Pharisees heard that He had silenced the Sadducees, they came together. And one of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, to test him. “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?” And He said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it,

Monday of the Second Week of Lent. Are We in the End Times? Is Everyone Going to be Saved?

As He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will this be, and what will be the sign of Your coming and of the close of the age?” And Jesus answered them, “Take heed that no one leads you astray. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray. And you will hear of wars and rumors

Friday of the First Week of Lent. Come with Conviction, Not Just for the Signs

The crowd that had been with him when He called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead bore witness. The reason why the crowd went to meet him was that they heard he had done this sign. John 12:17-18 I’ve often wondered how a large crowd on a Sunday could cheer “Hosanna” for Jesus as He entered into Jerusalem, and five days later, many of the same people jeered “Crucify Him!”

But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying out in the temple, ”Hosanna to the Son of David!” they were indignant; and they said to him, “Do you hear what these are saying?” And Jesus said to them, “Yes; have you never read, ‘Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast brought perfect praise’?” Matthew 21: 15-16 (Gospel of Orthros on Palm

Wednesday of the First Week of Lent. Having the Right Values

03/01/2017

Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. Philippians 4:8 (Epistle of Palm Sunday) I could write an entire week of reflections on this verse alone! It mentions virtues that are quickly disappearing from our world today. As we reflect on this verse today, think of the

Tuesday of the First Week of Lent. Martha Actually Set a Great Example

02/28/2017

She said to him, “Yes, Lord; I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, he who is coming into the world.” John 11:27 (Gospel on the Saturday of Lazarus) Most of us are familiar with the story of Mary and Martha, told in Luke 10:38-42. Jesus visited their home. Mary was sitting and listening to Jesus’ teaching, while Martha was running around serving. Martha got frustrated and went to Jesus and said

Monday of the First Week of Lent. Different Kinds of Healing

Now a certain man was ill, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. It was Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ill. So the sisters sent to him, saying, ”Lord, he whom you love is ill.” But when Jesus heard it he said, “This illness is not unto death; it is for the glory of God, so that the

YOUR LITTLE SECRET By: Presvytera Alexandra Tomorrow is the very first day of Great Lent. We have a long way to go before Easter, and a lot to do before we get there!
