“Of course, you know what ecumenism is; it is the heresy of heresies. It wants to completely wipe out the concept of the Orthodox Church as the guardian of the Truth, and to create some kind of new, strange church”

🔸 Sunday of All Saints 🔸

Today, the Sunday following Pentecost, is the Sunday of All Saints. On this day, we commemorate all of the males and females, known and unknown, who have joined the choir of Saints. This includes the Holy Patriarchs, Prophets, Apostles, Fathers, Martyrs, Confessors, Shepherds, Hierarchs, Teachers, Ascetics and all the Righteous of every age and race, who have glorified God by their holy lives. By the descent of the Holy Spirit, it is possible for us to rise above our fallen state and to attain sainthood, fulfilling God’s directive to “be holy, for I am holy” (1 Peter 1:16).

It is therefore fitting to commemorate the Synaxis of All Saints on the first Sunday after Pentecost. The most important reason for this Feast, as for any Saint that we celebrate, is the exhortation of ourselves, the living, to emulate those being celebrated. That is, we should compel ourselves to attain to the praiseworthy life of those blessed servants of God. Central to the icon is the “cloud of witnesses” described by St Paul in his letter to the Hebrews (11:33-12:2). Christ is seated above the throne of heaven holding the Gospel which reads:

“Come, you blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world” (Matthew 25:34).

He is surrounded by the 4 Evangelists (represented by their respective symbols of an angel, eagle, lion snd ox) and flanked by the Theotokos and St John the Forerunner. Directly beneath the feet of Christ we see Adam and Eve prostrating before Him, while the rows of Saints raise their hands to Glorify Him. In the top left King David holds a scroll: “Rejoice greatly in the Lord, O righteous ones; Praise is fitting for the upright” (Psalm 32).

In the top right King Solomon holds a scroll: “But the righteous live for evermore; their reward also is with the Lord, and the care of them is with the most High” (Wisdom 5:15). In the bottom left is the Patriarch Abraham who has the righteous souls in his bosom (Luke 16:22). At the base of the icon is the Wise Thief. At the bottom right is the Patriarch Jacob holding his children - symbolic of the 12 tribes of Israel and the righteous lineage.

“During the Paschal services, Fr. Daniel radiated so much joy that he overwhelmed all his parishioners. But even on the most ordinary days, he was always smiling and laughing. According to many of his friends, he didn’t like to be alone; he could easily become the life of any company, and there were always guests at his place. People who knew him closely recall Fr. Daniel’s childlike simplicity.”

Should Metropolitan Philaret of NY be publicly glorified as a saint?
Why or why not?

[Peter @OrthroAug]

@Theophilosaurus What makes you feel that way about him?

@GabrielofBoone Ofc!!

@NewsNFTU When looking into whether someone or not should be glorified it’s important to look at everything. St. John of Shanghai had many opponents to his cause, and ROCOR took that into account.

An excellent article by @Craig_Truglia on Trullo and its acceptance in the West.

@KalebAtlanta @HosannaHosannaa What say you @OrthodoxEthos

[Patriarch Prime, PhD ☦️ 🇺🇸 🇦🇶 @KalebAtlanta]

Upon reading “Ancestral Sin” by Fr. John Romanides, Archbishop Michael of the Greek Americans said he was taken by “demonic pride, egoism and self-promotion,” that he was “subversive,” and that he was not “dedicated to the Orthodox faith and tradition.”

I’m definitely anti-Augustinian.

Orthodox typically call him blessed but they don’t consider him authoritative.

I’m a Chrysostom guy, he is the GOAT of reading and writing in the original Greek.

Yeah, I can go the rest of my life not reading Augustine.
