The Importance of Spiritual Reading (A talk by Fr. Timothy Pavlatos)
“If we read the Sacred Scripture with faith,” says St. Basil the Great, ‘we will feel that we see and hear Christ Himself. What is it we need, an actual voice or the One Who speaks to us through the Scriptures? It is all the same. In Sacred Scripture, God speaks with us just as truly as when we speak with Him through prayer.’ For this reason, prayer and the reading of sacred books must be our continuous occupation. Pray or read continually if you want to be with God at all times.
“The Saints talk with us when we read their writings. Through their writings, they guide us and speak to us and we, so to speak, resurrect through them after their death in order to talk with them. Thus, we have no reason to envy the contemporaries of Chrysostom, Basil the Great, Gregory the Theologian, Athanasius the Great, Ambrose and others. From the holy ranks of the Fathers we may choose with whom it is best for us to converse. There is no better, more joyous, and more beneficial way to spend the time we have than in reading the writings of the Holy Fathers.

Every Sunday we remember the Resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as we celebrate the Holy Divine Liturgy.
The word "Liturgy" means work of the people which means everyone participates through singing, praying, hearing the teaching, and opening our hearts to allow God's Grace to enter.
For those who have committed themselves to the Orthodox Faith (through Baptism and/or Chrismation) it also means, if prepared, the reception of Holy Communion.
Preparation includes the Sacrament of Confession (seven years and older) within the last two months, prayer, being on time for church, being at peace with others, attending the Divine Liturgy regularly, and fasting (no food or drink from midnight the night before).
If you are new, just visiting, or have any questions, please introduce yourself to Father Joseph. Please know that everyone is invited to venerate the Holy Gospel and receive the Holy Bread at the end of Liturgy. All are welcome to our Coffee Fellowship in the hall after Liturgy.
