Dispelling Doubts About Almsgiving

Dispelling Doubts About Almsgiving

“He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward’'’ [Mt. 10:41]. Any doubts regarding alms to the poor can be resolved by these …

Spiritual Life of Sobriety

Spiritual Life of Sobriety

Attention is vital for any success in our earthly affairs — and much more so in the spiritual life. Attention would spot anything improper and bring it before our inner judgment; attention also guards our internal legislative chamber and protects the executive powers which put our decisions into effect. Little …

Vigilance and Discernment

Vigilance and Discernment

“Out of the heart proceed evil thoughts'” [Mt. 15:19]. And where do they come from before that? The origin of the evil thoughts is sin rooted deep in our soul, while their proliferation and spreading depends on our own will. How to fight them? First of all, cut off everything …

Indispensable Fasting

11:22 07.08.2026

Indispensable Fasting

“Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man" [Mt. 1 5:11]. The Lord said this not because He was against fasting or thought that we don’t need to fast, — no, He Himself held fast, and …

Ubiquitous Voice of Conscience

11:40 06.08.2026

Ubiquitous Voice of Conscience

When Herod heard a rumor of Lord’s miracles, he supposed right away: this is John the Baptist risen from the dead [Mt. 14:2]. He could, of course, suppose just anything — but he did not think of anyone else except St. John. Who has given his thought such a direction? …

Modest Appearance a Must

11:19 05.08.2026

Modest Appearance a Must

The Nazarenes did not believe the word of God because He, while living among them, had neither fascinating demeanor, nor respectable appearance [Mt. 13:54-55]. “We know Him", — they would say, — “There is nothing special about Him!” This, however, did not move the Lord to take on any kind …

Mind Without Faith

11:34 04.08.2026

Mind Without Faith

The Lord forgives the sins of the paralyzed man [Mt. 9:2]. Everyone should rejoice — but the vicious mind of the scribes says: ‘'''This Man blasphemeth". And moreover, when the great miracle of healing followed in confirmation of the encouraging truth that “the Son of man hath power on earth …

Material Contact with Invisible Power

11:28 03.08.2026

Material Contact with Invisible Power

"If I may but touch His garment” — said the woman with the issue of blood. — "I shall be healed" [Mt. 9:21] — and she received what she asked for according to her faith. As we live in the material world, we need physical contact to receive immaterial power. …

Outer Simplicity, Inner Glory

9:41 02.08.2026

Outer Simplicity, Inner Glory

When the Lord came to Nazareth, he did not find faith there [Mt. 13:53-58]. His outer, visible simplicity covered from the Nazarenes His inner invisible glory and divinity. Doesn’t the same thing happen with any faithful Christian? The principles of the Christian faith are very simple in appearance, but for …

Grasp the Meaning of Evil

8:47 01.08.2026

Grasp the Meaning of Evil

And shall cast them (those who do offences and iniquities) into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father'' [Mt. 13:42-43]. Such will be the separation between good and evil, between …
