Preparing a Home: On Disability and Accessibility in the Church

July 12, 2026 - by Subdeacon JD Swartz
The commandment to love the Lord your God is inseparable from the next, to love your neighbor. Accessibility and accommodation are nothing less than revelations of love, just as Christ is the revelation of God, who is Love. The alternative to accessibility is not merely inaccessibility – it is sin; by being inaccessible we have missed the mark. Read more »
 

Freeing the Demoniac from Within

July 05, 2026 - by Dn. James Wilcox
When the Apostle Paul speaks of the Fruits of the Spirit, he is not referring to moral platitudes one attains through the sheer force of their will. The Fruits of the Spirit, rather, are a natural outpouring of a heart transformed and sanctified by the grace of the Holy Spirit through Jesus Christ. If your heart has been truly made new, it means your heart has found repentance. It is from the repentant heart that love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, and self-mastery will naturally flow.

Spiritual Teachings from Metropolitan Saba

 

Metropolitan Saba

"​Therefore, cleave to reading spiritual writings. It will lead you to that wonderful change which took place in so many saints. Through these works we receive great and holy enlightenment… So let our eyes be enlightened by the light of the word of God, for Sacred Scripture enlightens more brightly than the sun those who read with love and who keep the commandments of God." +Archbishop Platon of Kostroma

In our Antiochian Orthodox tradition both past and present, we are blessed with a multitude of outstanding godly writers who exhort, encourage, and edify the faithful. We present a sampling of spiritual reflections here, and pray that these will inspire you as you continue your spiritual journey in the Holy Orthodox Christian Faith.
