Fr. Karas St. Antony is temporarily (its been about 2-3 yrs!) serving at St. Mark CoC in Monterey, CA. They do not have a priest and it seems no one wants to move there! He has really uplifted the congregation from what I hear.
BTW, beautiful reco…
Dearest Fr. Peter,
May the Lord sustain you and keep you committed to Him for many years to come. Having never met you I have truly felt your sincere concern as a father. I pray that the Lord blesses your time so that many more may feel your love…

Congratulations! But now you are just making me curious. . .

My point is: The Jews misinterpreted the passage to mean the prophet was separate from the messiah. John the baptizer did not, he understood they were one and the same. So when John answers, "no," he answers it to the wrong question because they are…
I am not entirely sure what the requirements are for monasticism. I am sure they vary slightly from one monastery to the other. However, there is no hymns requirements and no requirement to "know a lot of things." For some requirements there are exc…
Please help me understand St. Cyril more accurately. Is he saying that when they asked if he was the prophet, they were asking him if he was the Messiah without realizing it, and that is why John answered no? If that is the case, they must have unde…
The fact that you even thought about this humbles me. As long as your review is fair, I don't see a problem. It might actually help their business if they make the adjustments based on your review.
Dear Hezekial,
The prophet they are referring to is Elisha.
Thomas Aquinas explains:
233 Then when he says, Are you the Prophet? the third question is presented. Here there is a difficulty, for since it is said in Luke (1:76), “And you, child, s…
Interesting - I would expect most to be buried in mass graves. It is the most efficient thing to do. They put Jesus in a tomb and sealed it at the Jews' request, lest His disciples take His body and say He has risen. But what about others - why woul…
BTW the four points that Josephus (Judean) and Tacitus (Roman) agree on are:
1. Jesus existed during the time of Pontius Pilate
2. Jesus had become a public figure w/ a following
3. Jesus was executed on a cross. (Josephus says both Jews and Romans…
People who don't believe that Jesus existed are usually uninformed. The accounts of the two historians should be enough. But the gospels and the NT also provides more evidence. It is clear that Jesus was not just some imagined character. The authors…
First of all, I doubt an atheist would use the word "Christ" just because of all that comes with it nowadays.
But the most obvious argument is that of historical evidence. The historians Josephus and Tacitus agree on four crucial points in the lif…

We should think of the humility required in asking another for prayer. The more trivial the request the more humility required. Someone who asks for such a small thing shows that he/she believes they need the support of others because their own pray…
