For God So Loved the World that He Gave His Only Son: a homily on the Sunday before the Feast of the Cross

September 13, 2026 - by Dn. Jeff Smith
When we forgive, we reveal the Cross. When we show mercy, we reveal the Cross. When we refuse to return hatred, we reveal the Cross. When we care for someone who is lonely or forgotten, we reveal the Cross. When we repent and begin again, we reveal the Resurrection. Read more »
 

Repentance Reexamined

Awakening & Letting Go

August 30, 2026 - by Dn. James Wilcox
This is the moment in Jesus’ public ministry when the religious leaders begin searching for a means of doing away with Jesus. We always look for a way to get rid of the person who challenges the golden calf of our most cherished falsehoods. If our first response is to do away with someone because we don’t like how they challenge us to think more critically about our actions, we have lost the plot. Read more »

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.
