@ James D In order for Holy Communion to be edifying to your soul you need have the blessings of your spiritual father after having gone to see him for confession. To the unprepared the reception of the Holy Mysteries is fearful. We invite you to read these essays:

truly edifying and as always, most gratefully received.
Thank God for all your time and efforts on these translations…. and of course for Bishop Pavlos' ability to relay so clearly his understanding of Orthodox Crhistianity . May God continue to Bless this inspirational project.
The Gospels of the Apostles were penned by 4 individual men but they were Written for us by The Holy Spirit. And while many scholars outside the faith may continue to argue over "lost writings" and "missing text" ….God makes certain that to those who believe in Him, everything is revealed, albeit in stages and levels consistent with our abilities.
"Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom."
-Luke 12:32
This video while old, is rather timely as Bill O'Reilly has put out the book and now the movie, "Killing Jesus". There is a tendency to think that the "conservatives" on TV are "good Christians", but the conservative movement aligns itself with Protestants and Catholics, (and not even "traditional Catholic").
Moreover, O'Reilly is a very poor historical scholar, in fact, not a scholar at all. It takes a bit of arrogance to write the kind of book he wrote on the 'historical Christ.'
People use Apocrypha texts, as an excuse to have no faith in God, or the Church. There is a reason we do not use these books; they for one thing contradict all the other Gospels, that are actually written by the Apostles. And the other reason is Apocryphal books are NOT inspired by the Holy Spirit, quite the opposite.
Thanks for translation..Watching from Philippines..
Love this video
11:00 Mark he says "Saints were transformed through an Imitation of Christ's Life" , but I think it's more than an Imitation they went through. It's more like a Life experience they had that was out of their control but it was similar to His Life in more ways than one.
«Χριστὸς γεννᾶται, δοξάσατε. Χριστὸς ἐξ οὐρανῶν ἀπαντήσατε. Χριστὸς ἐπὶ γῆς, ὑψώθητε, ᾌσατε τῷ Κυρίῳ πᾶσα ἡ γῆ, καὶ ἐν εὐφροσύνῃ, ἀνυμνήσατε λαοί, ὅτι δεδόξασται».
