Fr. Methodius explains some aspects of a period of history called "the Gospel" age. This time period, according to the words of St. Peter began when the Lord received Baptism in the Jordan and continued until He was raised up into heaven." Between His Baptism and Ascension, the Lord was doing many things. One of them was to prepare the Apostles to begin their own era, which we enter into in the Church.

We had a funeral today for the Lord of Glory. Fr. Methodius attempts to honor such a noble death by showing the travesty committed by his accusers and so-called friends.

Do we desire the same thing Christ desires? Is the Eucharist the center of our desire, the center of our lives? Fr. M shows how the Mystical Supper was celebrated with us in mind.

How do we participate in Palm Sunday? Do you find the little palm branch to be a blessing, or does holding it the whole service annoy you? Do you find it difficult to do the little things that the Church gives you to do? Listen to why we should all toughen up a little.

Why is the Resurrection of Lazarus one of the most important events for us to consider? Fr. Methodius offers words of encouragement to all those who feel deflated like people just don't understand them...wait, no, actually he never does that. Listen to find out why hell wants to bargain with God.

We pray, Most Holy Theotokos save us! Fr. Methodius offers us insights into the mystery of the incarnation and how we, in imitation of the Most Pure Virgin, should become temples of God.

Did you know that there is a warning in the introduction to the Life of St. Mary of Egypt? Many people idle along in the churches thinking they can do whatever they want. Fr. Methodius offers some motivation to take your faith seriously.

In His mercy, Our Great God has given man many ladders for spiritual growth, ladders of Divine Ascent. Today we celebrate a father of the Church who wrote just such a book. Fr. M offers some practical help so we understand better how to use these tools.

Did you know that the cross is one of the most Ancient, you may say, THE most ancient and most powerful symbols? Are you ashamed of the cross or do you adore and cherish it? Fr. M offers worship to the Cross of our Lord in this homily.

The True faith is the only way to know the True God. In His energies, God is known through struggle. Through Orthodox Asceticism, man can come to true knowledge of God.
