In this homily for the Sunday of the Blind Man, Fr. Stephen reflects on Christ’s healing as a sign not just of physical restoration, but of spiritual sight. We are reminded that just as the blind man boldly proclaimed Christ before others, we too are called to bear witness and preach the Gospel to all nations — beginning with the world right around us.

In this Bible/adult study, Mr. Anthony Ally reflects on the compassionate encounter between Christ and Saint Photini, the Samaritan woman at the well, as a powerful example of how the Lord draws near to the brokenhearted. Once an outcast burdened by shame, Photini becomes a fearless evangelist after meeting the Messiah who knows her completely—and loves her still. Through Scripture and the tradition of the Church, we follow her transformation from woundedness to bold witness, and consider how Christ meets us in our own places of pain, offering healing, truth, and the living water that never runs dry.

In this Bible/adult study, Mr. Anthony Ally examines how Satan, the father of lies, has sown confusion and division through historical deviations from the apostolic and biblical faith preserved in the Orthodox Church. We explore how both Roman Catholic innovations and Protestant reactions—though often well-intentioned—introduced distortions that obscured the fullness of truth found in the undivided Church. Rooted in Scripture and the patristic witness, this study helps clarify where and how these departures occurred, and how Orthodoxy continues to guard the faith once delivered to the saints. It’s not about condemnation, but illumination—calling all back to the fullness of Christ’s Church.
