Those with whom I actually continued to be friends, following their promotion in this life, are few. Who will remain the same, following a promotion, other than he who truly believes that this world is impermanent?

A Litany for the Rulers
In the congregational prayers of our Church, there is one of several litanies in which we pray for “the rulers of this country and for their support in every good deed…”. I would not be going against my belief in God’s ability to perform miracles if I mention to you that, every time I face ...
Read moreThe Time of Clarity
Every time my daughter feels that I am shocked by someone I used to place where he did not belong, she gives me her beautiful smile before saying: “excuse me, dad! The problem is not with him alone, but with you in the first place. You rush to put people in a place that does ...

The Church, in arranging her congregational prayers, always moves towards set goals. The major feast is looked at from afar; the small one too... Repentance is one of the rules of this movement.
