What does it mean to have faith and how can we increase it?

Fr. Dn. Christopher speaks about the Dormition of the Theotokos.

It is fear that hinders our walk with God.

Deacon Christopher is the speaker today and talks about God doing great things with scarce resources.

Christianity is a personal affair. It is not abstract, theoretical, a speculative philosophy. It is a personal encounter with the living God who is himself three persons sharing one divine nature.

Subdeacon Emmanuel is the homilist today. There is a light that wants to shine on us. However, it can only shine brightly if we move with Jesus from our childhood homes where we grew up to our present homes where we can now grow into being disciples of Jesus Christ.

We are called to be lights in the world. We are the representatives of Christ in the world today, so of course we take on the role of being light to the world.

St. Symeon teaches that when we pray, the indwelling Light of Christ can lift us up to the very Paradise itself of which St. Paul himself haltingly spoke.

Subdeacon Emmanuel is the homilist and speaks about the celebration of the saints of Britain and Ireland as well as all saints abroad.

Deacon Christopher is the homilist today. He says we must be careful to respond to people as they are and in particular we must be aware that Christ is not to be fitted into some expectations of ours. We need to know Him as He is.
