Sunday December 28, 2025 Today we remember three members of Christ's family: St. Joseph, the Betrothed of the Theotokos, King David the Prophet, and St. James the Brother of God.

The Genealogy of Christ 29.01.2026 15:08

Sunday December 21, 2025 On this day, we read the Genealogy of Christ from the Gospel of Matthew. The Church wants to bring to our mind all the righteous who lived before Christ and connect them with our Lord's birth. While we may have heard Christ's genealogy read many times before, it is important to remember that each name is important and has its own story, history, and significance. U...

Being Rich Toward God 28.01.2026 17:08

Sunday November 23, 2025 Living in this world, it can be easy to focus on the tangible things right in front of us rather than on eternal things in God's kingdom. For this reason, every year, the Church presents us with this parable to remind us of the more ultimate and eternal truths. The first lesson about ultimate truths is that God's material blessings toward us are never simply about...

Come and See 28.01.2026 15:52

Sunday November 30, 2025 In today's Gospel, we read about how St. John the Baptist's initial disciples begin their transition from following John to following Jesus. Before Jesus ever decisively asked them to become “fishers of men” on the shores of the Sea of Galilee, it was St. John the Baptist who pointed them in Jesus' direction. Interestingly, Andrew, whose memory we celebrate tod...
