Petronia: December 2008
http://iampetra.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
The simplicity, the humbleness, the remoteness, the miracles converge into creating a timeless snapshot of the Orthodox spirituality, apart from the historical circumstances. Patriarch Alexei II of Russia praised. Ostrov for its profound depiction of faith and monastic life, calling it a "vivid example of an effort to take a Christian approach to culture.". Whether it is being prayed in Russian, English, in my own parish, in a church in a different country (or even jurisdiction :) ), or in a film. If you...

Tales from Today: Resurrection. Today for the kids' lecture in the church basement (during the adult's lecture upstairs) Fr Boris taught the kids the general rules of Orthodox prayer. One question he asked them was "Why do we stand when we pray? And so as a symbol of our belief, we always stand during prayer. Then she asked us individually: "Are you risen? With a chuckle we each explained: "No, I'm not. First I have to die before I can be resurrected by (with) Christ.". Truly He is risen!

Have I finally learned? I would've questioned it, but the guy had already double checked the price. From the moment I ordered it until after drinking the last drop, I was bummed I actually paid for it. My 12 oz was more than enough to buy a whole box of soy milk at any store- what a profit margin! I don't know why it hit me today; it's not like it's the first time (! I won't say that I won't go there any more, but I will think twice and then once more before I hand over the cash!

Repentance opens up a new way. Prayers by the Lake, XVIII by St Nicholai of Ohrid and Zica. Of your ways, inhabitants of the earth. Behold, the eye of the Master of the world is keeping watch deep within you. Do not trust your seducible eyes, let the Eye illumine your way. Your eyes are curtains over the Eye of God. What good is it for you to feel repentant and still tread the old way? I liken such a person to you. Just as the wind begins blowing and carries off the mist before the sun, so will death car...

As a little child. Let the little children come to Me,and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God. Assuredly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it". St Cyril of Alexandria. Commentary on the Gospel of St. Luke, Homily #121.

I was just listening to Matthew Gallatin. And he was talking about sola scriptura. He mentioned the use of Rev. 22:18-19 as support for sola scriptura and then read the passage. As he was reading, before he said anything more, the light bulb went off in my head and I practically gasped from surprise at the obvious:. One must presuppose sola scriptura to be true in order to interpret the passage to be referring to the complete canon of the Bible as we know it today. Links to this post. I have been reading...
