Fr Tryphon on Odysee

And behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue came, Jairus by name. And when he saw Him, he fell at His feet and begged Him earnestly, saying, "My little daughter lies at the point of death. Come and lay Your hands on her, that she may be healed, and she will live." So Jesus went with him, and a great multitude followed Him and thronged Him. While He was still speaking, some came from t...

"...since you seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, who is not weak toward you, but mighty in you. For though He was crucified in weakness, yet He lives by the power of God. For we also are weak in Him, but we shall live with Him by the power of God toward you. Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you? - u...

Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. Therefore God also has highl...

Now it happened as they went that He entered a certain village; and a certain woman named Martha welcomed Him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus’ feet and heard His word. But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she approached Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me.” And Jesus answer...

I was set free from the care center while the Church commemorates Moses, that great liberator, and delivered back to the island monastery over the waters. Now my recovery continues in my community of monks, and I ask for your prayers.

When we Orthodox Christians greet each other at the Divine Liturgy, and the other services of the Church, it is critical that we remember that we are family. We must lift each other up in prayer. We must love one another. We must give thanks that we are part of the Body of Christ. To do anything else is to betray our faith. Orthodoxy is not just simply a club we belong to; Orthodoxy is our life, a...

Our God Who loves us, and is long-suffering, and forgives us our sins against Him, is something that we want to share as Christians with others. Yet, often times we don't realize that the best and most simple way of sharing the message is by channeling God's love and mercy to others by how we respond to the way they treat us negatively. If we have friends, or relatives, or coworkers that...

“The holy fathers knew very well what they meant by saying that the eyes of our soul can be opened. That is why we should read both the patristic texts and the Scriptures. Do you think that you don’t have time to do it? Try and read even for a few minutes every day. The purification and enlightenment you will gain by reading the Holy Scriptures will remain with you day and night.” - Elder Ephraim...

“We do not need great knowledge to be devout. If we concentrate and ponder on the few things we know, our heart will be spiritually embroidered. One may be profoundly affected by a single hymn, while another may feel nothing, even though he may know all the hymns by heart, as he has not entered into the spiritual reality. So, read the Fathers, even one or two lines a day. They are very strengtheni...

"Here is a medicine to relieve grief and every bad circumstance and every pain. What is it? To pray and to give thanks in everything. He does not wish that a prayer be merely a petition but a thanksgiving for what we have received… How can one make petitions for the future without a thankful acknowledgment of past things? ... So one ought to give thanks for everything, even what seems grievou...

"Everyone has a cross to carry. Why? Since the leader of our faith endured the cross, we will also endure it. On the one hand, the cross is sweet and light, but, on the other, the cross can also be bitter and heavy. It depends on our will. If you bear Christ's cross with love then it will be very light; like a sponge or cork. But if you have a negative attitude, it becomes heavy; too hea...

"I don't think about death. Whatever the Lord desires. I want to think about Christ. And you, too, open your arms and throw yourselves into Christ's embrace. Then He lives within you, and you constantly think that you don't love Him very much, and you want even more to come close to Him, and be with Him. Show disdain for passions, and don't concern yourselves with the devi...

“The word “cross” means sufferings, sorrows and adversities. To “take up one’s cross” means to accept without complaint everything unpleasant, painful, sad, difficult and oppressive that may happen to us in life. In other words, to bear all laughter, scorn, weariness, sorrow and annoyance from others; to bear all poverty, misfortune, illness, without regarding yourself as offended. And if, when yo...

“The fear of God is when you love Him, when you truly love Him with all your heart and you strive never to offend or sadden Him—not only with your deeds, actions, and words, but also with your thoughts. You try to please Him in everything you do or say. That is the fear of God—the fear of doing anything that might sadden or offend our Parent.” Elder Thaddeus of Vitovnica #love #fear #god For more...
