When Pascha is delayed, the Church chooses for the Sundays that precede the preparation for Lent, gospel accounts that also give us an overview of the feast from afar. Last Sunday, for example, we read the Gospel of Zacchaeus, the tax collector who wanted to see Jesus. Today, we read the story of the Canaanite ...

The Nativity Feast
To celebrate Jesus’ Nativity today, is something that requires us to have perfect faith in that He has descended from His heaven to all of us, to each one of us, we whose sins have thrown us away from Him. The feast truly belongs to those who adhere to the acknowledgement that God has invaded ...
