     | 1,461 views

    Anything that causes us to turn our backs on the two great commandments–love God above all things and our neighbor as ourselves–is sin, and needs the healing power, the forgiving power of Christ.

    January 3, 2019 Tenth Day of Christmas According to one interpretation of the overused carol, The Twelve Days of Christmas, this tenth day is the one which adds “ten lords a leaping” to the list of gifts given us by our true love, Jesus Christ, who is the “partridge in a pear tree.” The ten lords, ...read more

  • 30th Sunday-- The Pharisee And The Tax Collector

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Sep 26, 2022
     | 864 views

    Dorotheos said that the Pharisee was doing the right thing when he thanked God for giving him the ability to do good—as should they (the monks) themselves. The Pharisee only did one thing wrong: he passed judgment on the tax collector.

    Our Gospel today begins with some challenging words, “to those who were convinced of their own righteousness and despised everyone else.” There’s an old joke about a psychiatrist who is seeing a new patient for the first time. The psychiatrist says, “I’m not aware of your issue, so maybe you ...read more

  • What Do We Mean By "apostolic" In Our Profession? Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 11, 2021
     | 883 views

    The Church is apostolic because its foundation stones are the apostles chosen by Jesus himself as his first witnesses, prophets, priests and leaders.

    Monday of 24th Week in Course There are four marks of the Church—unity, holiness, apostolicity and catholicity. The unity is oneness in belief and practice. The holiness. Ah, we mustn't think that means that all members of the Church and even all clergy are holy. There have some real ...read more

     | 19,545 views

    This sermon looks at the sacrifices soldiers make on behalf of others. This is the same sacrifice Jesus makes for us on the cross. We have been bought with a high price and should enjoy our lives.

    ANZAC Day For those who do not know, ANZAC day is not the day to celebrate Australia’s victories, nor do we celebrate how great our country is. Rather we celebrate the sacrifice and loss of the young men and women who protect other people’s freedom. Australia has never been seriously ...read more
