Divine Liturgy-Sunday of Meatfare of the Last Judgment
2024-03-10 10:30 - 12:15 | St. Aidan Orthodox Church, Cranbrook, British Columbia, Canada
Today’s Gospel reading is Matthew 25:31-46, the parable of the Last Judgment. It reminds us that while trusting in Christ’s love and mercy, we must not forget His righteous judgment when He comes again in glory. If our hearts remain hardened and unrepentant, we should not expect the Lord to overlook our transgressions simply because He is a good and loving God. Although He does not desire the death of a sinner, He also expects us to turn from our wickedness and live (Ezek. 33:11). This same idea is expressed in the prayer read by the priest after the penitent has confessed his or her sins (Slavic practice).

Divine Liturgy-Sunday of Cheesefare: Expulsion of Adam from Paradise
2024-03-17 10:30 - 12:15 | St. Aidan Orthodox Church, Cranbrook, British Columbia, Canada
As we begin the Great Fast, the Church reminds us of Adam’s expulsion from Paradise. God commanded Adam to fast (Gen. 2:16), but he did not obey. Because of their disobedience, Adam and Eve were cast out of Eden and lost the life of blessedness, knowledge of God, and communion with Him, for which they were created. Both they and their descendants became heirs of death and corruption… to read more, click https://www.oca.org/saints/lives/2024/03/17/7-sunday-of-cheesefare-expulsion-of-adam-from-paradise
