On the Path from Galilee to Antioch

June 14, 2026 - by Dn. Jeff Smith
With a few words—just two, actually: 'Follow me' and 'I will make you fishers of men'—and we go on to say, 'and you will fish the universe,' the disciples left their nets. Immediately they leave, and their lives are changed forever. The call to leave our nets remains just as urgent today. Whatever prevents us from following Christ can become a net that entangles us, but the Lord stands on the shore of our lives and calls us as surely as He called Peter and Andrew. Read more »
 

Suffering Unto Sainthood

June 07, 2026 - by Dn. James Wilcox
Life’s most difficult moments will come to each of us. There is not a single person in this room who can avoid the experience of suffering. We can question it, we can try to deny it, we can do our best to avoid it, but suffering, nevertheless, will come to us. It is something from which we cannot escape.

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.
