Reflections and Sermons

…our inner self has the ability to be transfigured by God’s presence….

"Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for the Lord does not see as mortals see; they look on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart”

Pascha has come, the Feast of Feasts, and it has been a great privilege and joy for me to be able to celebrate it here with my new family at St. Vasilios.

Pascha has passed and although we are still in the Paschal Season, we are quickly approaching the time when the Risen Lord departs from us and ascends into heaven.

I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound; in any and all circumstances I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and want. I can do all things in Him who strengthens me
