Divine Liturgy-Sunday of the Prodigal Son
2023-02-12 10:30 - 12:15
The Sunday after the Sunday of the Publican and the Pharisee is the Sunday of the Prodigal Son. This parable of God’s forgiveness calls us to “come to ourselves” as did the prodigal son, to see ourselves as being “in a far country” far from the Father’s house, and to make the journey of return to God. We are given every assurance by the Master that our heavenly Father will receive us with joy and gladness. We must only “arise and go,” confessing our self-inflicted and sinful separation from that “home” where we truly belong (Luke 15:11-24)…much more to read…click https://www.oca.org/saints/lives/2023/02/12/3-sunday-of-the-prodigal-son to continue.

The Meeting of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ in the Temple
2023-02-02
The Meeting of our Lord God and Saviour Jesus Christ is described in the third Gospel (Luke 2:22-40). Forty days after His birth the Divine Child was brought to the Temple at Jerusalem to be presented to the Lord. According to the Law of Moses (Lev. 12:2-8), a woman who gave birth to a male child was forbidden to enter the Temple for forty days. At the end of the time of her purification, the mother went to the Temple with the child, to offer a young lamb, two turtledoves, or pigeons to the Lord as a sacrifice. The Most Holy Virgin had no need of purification, since she had given birth to the Source of purity and sanctity. Out of humility, however, she fulfilled the requirements of the Law… to continue reading, click: https://www.oca.org/saints/lives/2023/02/02/100407-the-meeting-of-our-lord-and-savior-jesus-christ-in-the-temple

Divine Liturgy-Sunday of Zaccheus
2023-01-29 10:30 - 12:15
The paschal season of the Church is preceded by the season of Great Lent, which is also preceded by its own liturgical preparation. The first sign of the approach of Great Lent comes five Sundays before its beginning. On this Sunday the Gospel reading is about Zacchaeus the tax-collector. It tells how Christ brought salvation to the sinful man, and how his life was changed simply because he “sought to see who Jesus was” (Luke 19:3). The desire and effort to see Jesus begins the entire movement through Lent towards Pascha. It is the first movement of salvation… to read much more, click the following link: https://www.oca.org/saints/lives/2023/01/29/1-sunday-of-zacchaeus
