Fr. Emmanuel Kahn teaches that the challenge which the Father gave to Christ and to his disciples and to us is to learn and to achieve the work on earth that the Father wishes each of us to accomplish.
Fr. Christopher reminds us that the feast of the Ascension marks the transition from Christ’s presence in a limited sense to an unlimited one. He ascends to this universal presence on account of His being both God and man.
How many Christians in the comfortable West would, like St Paul and St Silas, having been thrown into jail for such an uncompromising witness, proceed to sing hymns of praise to God all night in the midst of such a challenging situation?
Fr. Christopher gives the homily about the Samaritan Woman and the example of Christ in relating to people according to their needs and situations.
Fr. Gregory says that St. Peter in Lydda should have taken the trouble to visit Joppa to raise Dorcas from the dead shows the importance that the early Church gave to the plight of widows.
The appointment of Deacons in the church is the subject of today's sermon by Deacon Emmanuel Kahn.
Fr. Christopher asks, when it comes to the resurrection of Jesus, is Church Tradition honest? Could the whole story have been made up? Surely anything less than honesty in the Church is not acceptable.
There is no place where the resurrection of Christ has not touched. All things are “under his feet” – his victorious feet! Pascha is everywhere and nothing is the same.

Fr. Gregory speaks with children and adults about Palm Sunday and the preparation of our hearts to receive the risen Christ.
Fr. Christopher gives the sermon on St. Mary of Egypt who was prepared to follow Christ, in the company of the saints, wherever that took her. May we have the grace to do the same.
Fr. Christopher says the Feast of the Annunciation marks the entrance of God, physically, into history, when He took upon Himself our human nature.
Fr. Gregory encourages us to embrace not a semi-detached life with all its fatal compromises but a fully detached life with God as our only hope, security and strength.
