The fruit discloses the cultivation of a tree; so the expression of a thought discloses the cultivation of a person’s mind. (Sirach 27:6) A tree is meant to bear fruit.

My dear brothers and sisters, Today is the day of the Resurrection! Let us rejoice and be glad in it! As we celebrate this Feast of the Resurrection, let us strive to make our daily lives an affirmation of the Resurrection.

Christ’s love for His Father spills out eternally to us as well. In fact, He is just as committed to us as He is to His Father. Just as His love compels Him to do His Father’s will, it compels Him to want nothing but the beauty and the goodness of the Father’s will for us. He only wants the best for us.
....may our Lord guide us to make a difference in any situation the Lord places us in. May we be found faithful when that moment comes.
When your hope is grounded in Christ, nothing can shake or alter your faith.
The two things all Orthodox families should begin doing right away are very simple: Pray and go to church. .
When you became an Orthodox Christian, you received the Holy Spirit who will direct your decisions and direction. Call it this GPS (God’s Positioning System).
Don’t worry about doing something wrong, not fitting in, or “ruining” the parish or the services because of misbehaviors or mishaps. Come to serve, come to grow, come to love, and come to learn.
