WHAT THE CROSS MEANS FOR CHRISTIANS: For the Third Sunday of Lent

March 18, 2017 By stninoorthodox

“O Invincible and incomprehensible and divine power of the precious and life-giving Cross, forsake not us sinners.” (From the order of Great Compline)  The Cross is the mighty and profound symbol of Christianity, a symbol whose meaning is inexhaustible.  The eight-pointed Cross is the symbol of Orthodoxy. Gazing upon the Cross with his mind and

THE THIRD SUNDAY OF GREAT LENT: ON CARRYING YOUR CROSS

March 16, 2017 By stninoorthodox

  Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me (Mk. 8:34), said the Lord to his disciples, calling them unto Him, as we heard today in the Gospels. Dear brothers and sisters! We too are disciples of our Lord Jesus Christ, because we are Christians. We

THE THIRD SUNDAY OF LENT: THE CROSS AS A MEANS OF TRANSFORMING THE WORLD

October 5, 2016 By stninoorthodox

Through the Cross, Christ sanctified His body—the link with the world. He rejected the temptations sent to Him by the world, that is to taste the pleasures, to satisfy His needs unrestrained or to avoid pain and death. If we, in the same way, ward off the temptations of sin and patiently suffer the pain

On Patience: For the Sunday of the Veneration of the Cross

April 6, 2016 By stninoorthodox

If, according to the word of Christ, patience is so salutary, then it can be placed next to the queen of all virtues: humility, right next to meekness, and we need to ponder deeply about the Lord’s word about patience. In the Gospel according to Luke, we read the profoundly important word of Christ: In

The Cross Sweetens the Bitterness of Life

April 5, 2016 By stninoorthodox

In the morning,  finding at least a minute in the midst of your normal daily tasks to stand before His countenance, you will feel how He is gazing at you lovingly and summoning you to labor. God’s blessing is with you in labor during every minute of life. The Kingdom of God, which is coming

Deny Thyself!

April 5, 2016 By stninoorthodox

And when He had called the people unto Him with His disciples also, He said unto them, Whosoever will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for My sake and the gospel’s,

The Foolishness of the Cross

April 5, 2016 By stninoorthodox

We nailed ourselves to the cross once and for all in order to say that we renounce everything that the world has to give, to say that we are needy for the grace of our Lord and not needy for the wealth of this world. The cross has many meanings, but I will attempt to

The Russian Cross Explained

April 4, 2016 By stninoorthodox

(also called the Eight-pointed Cross) The symbolism of the “complete” Cross (much of which is contained in the Old Rite Russian prosphora seal and on metal and wood icons) is quite complex. Since the OId Rite tradition of the Russian Orthodox Church is much richer than the New Rite Church in its use of symbolism to teach
