    A homily regarding the miraculous healing of the Paralytic by Christ. Given on the Fourth Sunday of Paschal (Sunday of the Paralytic) at the Monastery of the Glorious Ascension.

    Dear brothers and sisters, today's Gospel reading in chapter five of the testimony of St. John tells us a wonderful story about love and forgiveness and profound healing. It is not a mushy type of story. It is not one that everyone will understand either. It is the story of a humble man who has ...read more

    Jesus gives us the power and strength to grow in virtue and spread the word of His salvation.

    The Introit of today’s Holy Sacrifice affirms that “God is in His holy place, the God who makes those of one mind to dwell in a house: He will give virtue and fortitude to His people.” Where is this holy place in which God dwells? Is it the same as the place where those who are ...read more

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 28, 2015
     | 3,818 views

    Thursday of the Second Week in Lent Joy of the Gospel Last Sunday we heard Jesus tell his key disciples not to disclose their vision of Him transfigured until He would rise from the dead. There was a good reason for that. The Jewish mindset, which had been formed by prophets like Jeremiah, ...read more

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 1, 2012
     | 3,087 views

    Prayer is pre-eminent; the Word must inform our music; evangelization must be done, especially with the help of women.

    September 3 2012 St. Gregory the Great Verbum Domini The Book of Genesis envisions the creation of the world as more of a birthing than a creatio ex nihilo. We know that God created everything, and created it from nothing. But when the author of Genesis began his narrative, he picks up at a ...read more

    Genesis: Authentic History From An Awesome God

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 14, 2023
     | 1,159 views

    This is the introduction to a series on the historical foundations of the first eleven chapters of the book of Genesis. These chapters present authentic events and real people. Without them, nothing else makes sense.

    To try and comprehend the majesty and power of the Sovereign LORD God Almighty is like trying to place the entirety of the oceans inside a thimble. To hear skeptics and infidels crow that God does not exist or does not care for what is happening in this world is to hear the finite, limited, and ...read more

    Even the devils believe that Jesus is the Son of God, and tremble.

    A LEGION CAST OUT. Mark 5:1-20. The account of the man with the Legion of devils is a dramatic demonstration of the kind of spiritual warfare which is going on for the bodies, minds, and souls of mankind. We notice, first of all, that it is Jesus who initiated this particular ...read more

    INTRODUCTION: John’s gospel is different from the others. There is no genealogy, no manger scene, no boyhood, no temptation, no Mount of transfiguration, and no Gethsemane. There are only a few special miracles chosen by John as “signs.” We have the famous “I AM” sayings of Jesus and many ...read more
