Elissa contemplates language — and specifically, the language of Pascha — and the amazing truths that are just sometimes too big to comprehend.

We just had to bring you this little conversation with Lindsay Karant.

As we enter into the one Great and Holy Pascha (the same one every year!) we find that time gets a little goofy, and the most profound paradoxes abound.

As we celebrate the Sunday of St. Mary of Egypt, we slow down to consider how profoundly God wants to transform us, and how our relationships change when we become the people we were meant to be.

Where’d you get that cross?

In honor of St. Gregory Palamas, we consider how his teachings speak to us in our modern, lay context — and ask how we can try to meet God in the present moment.

As we work our way through Great Lent, let’s not devour our brothers.

On why keeping it simple and small may be the best way to do Lent.

What does it mean to be judged, and how do we prepare ourselves for it?

We love progress — but it does bring all sorts of unexpected and unintended consequences, even to our spiritual lives.
