SERMONS FOR THE DAY OF THE LORD

‘’…if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is Christ therefore a minister of sin? Certainly not! For if I build again those things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor’’ (Gal 2:17-18). We destroy our sins via confession to our spiritual father, and yet we find ourselves building again those same …

Today’s Gospel concerns the young man who asked Christ, what it is necessary to do in order to have eternal life. Our Lord tells him first of all to keep all the commandments which were given by divine inspiration to Moses. However, our Lord sums up those commandments, by giving only two commandments: ‘Love God with all your heart and …

What does it mean to forgive? Should we expect forgiveness from God, if we do not offer it to others? Sisters and brothers, in today’s Gospel lesson, Jesus told a parable about forgiveness. A certain person having been forgiven a debt of a large sum of money went immediately to one who owed him a very small sum, grabbed him …

Sister and brothers, “You are the lights of the world.” [The “you” is plural.] These are the words the Lord has given to us as we gather [in the presence of] Christ today. It is a declaration.

How tragic is the story of the life of the paralytic. A man had been paralysed for years. He lay at a short distance from healing, but he himself had no strength to merge into the waters of cleansing. And no one – no one in the course of all the thirty eighth years and more – had compassion on …

Death is a catastrophe for man; this is the basic principle of the whole of Christian anthropology. Man is an amphibious being, both spiritual and corporeal, and so he was created by God. Body belongs organically to the unity of human existence. And this was perhaps the most striking novelty in the original Christian message. The preaching of the Resurrection …

Jesus and His disciples were on the road to Jerusalem where Jesus’ opponents held power, and He began to tell them what was going to happen to Him. Jesus was telling His disciples that He would be condemned to death, mocked, scourged, spat upon and finally killed; and He prophesised His resurrection when He said, “after three days He would …

A desperate father tried to find a cure for his suffering son by every means. He had probably heard rumours of Jesus and his disciples, that they could heal the sick and drive out unclean spirits.
