The celebration of Christmas did not begin until the first of the twelve days. As our culture … [Read more...]

The Proskomide — Service of Preparation of the Holy Gifts

September 29, 2009

Long before most people arrive at Church, the priest prepares the Holy Gifts (the bread and wine that will be consecrated into the body and blood of Christ) in a small service called the Proskomedi.

Christianity Without Pentecost

June 6, 2009

The Scandal: Jesus Hangs on the Cross to Forgive Us of Sin

March 28, 2009

Extreme Humility

By: Fr. George Morelli A Lenten homily. "Who can forgive sins but God alone?" Is there any doubt that the Cross of Jesus Christ is a scandal, a shame and embarrassment to anyone who chooses not to respond to God's grace? Look at Jesus from a Jewish perspective in the time of Christ. They were awaiting a messiah, the anointed one of God — a deliverer who would reign in glory with … [Read more...]
