Immediately

On this 2nd Sunday of Matthew, we see our Lord Jesus choosing His first disciples, Andrew and Peter, and James and John. Two sets of brothers that the Lord calls to follow Him. And the Gospel says they responded to the Lord “immediately.” What kind of soul formation does a person have to develop to respond so quickly to God’s invitation? We learn 4 characteristics of a soul ready to say “yes” to God!

Loving Rightly - A Cosmic Invitation

Loving Rightly - A Cosmic Invitation

On this Sunday of All Saints in our Orthodox calendar, we are confronted by the stark beauty of the "friends of God" and how they loved God first in their lives. All other priorities are AFTER my love for God. Jesus, Himself, says a disturbing truth when He declares that I must love Him more than my mother, and if I don't love Him more than my mother I cannot be His disciple. How can we ever hope to actually do this? It all flows from loving properly!

A Dangerous Homily About God

A Dangerous Homily About God

On this Feast of Pentecost, we face a culture that has increased the power of shallowness and decreased the value of depth and maturity to the point where there is no sobriety, but only division and individual focus. This is absolutely opposed to how God created us. Because He created us in His Image and He knows Himself as Persons in Communion. And this is the only way you will know yourself. Communion with God and with each other makes me a true person, and not an individual.

Hard Times Reveal Us To Ourselves

Hard Times Reveal Us To Ourselves

On this Sunday of the Commemoration of the Fathers of the First Ecumenical Council, we are confronted by St. Paul telling the leaders of the Ephesian Church that when he departs, "ravenous wolves" will come among them attempting to undo the spiritual work already accomplished. The Faith is meant to inform, transform, and actually form your thinking, choices, priorities, and lifestyle. There are solid reasons for the Faith to teach what She teaches. You should at least be curious as to those solid reasons. If you don't know these reasons, you are not formed well enough to criticize the Church for what She teaches. Oh yeah, and I know Arius was just a priest, not a bishop. Forgive the mistake.

The Blindness of Blame

16:19

The Blindness of Blame

On this Sunday of the Blind Man, it's time to confront our mistake in assigning blame. The tragedies of our society strike us in such a way that we are tempted to knee jerk blame this or that person, or group, or ideology. We insist we want justice or we want to make things better and yet we start that process by saying it's "their" fault. Blaming others won't solve the problems we face. We have to start with humility. We have to begin, not with blame, but with humility and repentance.

Curiosity And Then Some!

15:07

Curiosity And Then Some!

On this Sunday of the Samaritan Woman, we learn just what it takes to be rescued from a life stuck in the slavery of passions. And these three characteristics we learn today will not only set this woman free but a whole village. What is so amazing is the lack of curiosity that seems to exalt my own opinions above centuries of wisdom. And that is too shallow to make you a really wise person.

Moms Knew First!

14:45

Moms Knew First!

On this Sunday of the Myrrh-bearing Women, we confront the truth of the beauty and infinite value of women. We are confronted with the truth that it was women who first heard the news of the Resurrection. They were the ones who didn't abandon the Lord in His time of suffering. The gift of the mystery of the feminine and the health of this mystery is absolutely necessary for a healthy society.

Sunday School/Catechism

Our mission at Sts. Raphael, Nicholas, and Irene Sunday School is to help our children grow in their understanding of their orthodox faith. We hope that the more our children understand, the more they will develop towards living and loving our orthodox faith. Our aim is to provide a safe, nurturing environment for our youth in which they will learn the doctrines and traditions of the Eastern Orthodox Church, live that faith on purpose, and feel God’s constant presence in their life.
