Yesterday we celebrated the canonization of Saint Herman of Alaska.
Watch our video on his life:
https://youtu.be/eWr06jGHx7M
The life of Saint Herman is truly remarkable. He was a member of the first official missionary effort to the isolated peoples of southern Alaska. He became a beacon of holiness, and his impact on the natives and on all of Alaska is felt to this day and will never subside. Because he showed them love when no one else would, because he radiated holiness, because through his humility God dwelt within him, and he made signs and wonders to the people of that remote yet important place.

Blessed Sunday!

On this Tenth Sunday after Pentecost, we hear the Gospel account of Christ healing a young boy who was suffering from epilepsy. After the disciples were unable to heal him, the boy’s father turned to Jesus and pleaded for His help. Christ rebuked the demon, and the child was healed immediately. Jesus then reminded His disciples of the power of faith, teaching them that even faith as small as a mustard seed can accomplish great things when we place our trust in God.

So Jesus said to them, Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you. However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.” (Matthew 17: 20-21)

Today the Church also commemorates the Holy Apostle Matthias.

Born in Bethlehem, from his youth he studied the Law of God under St. Simeon the God-Receiver. When Christ began His earthly ministry, Matthias believed in Him as the Messiah and followed Him. He was among the Seventy Apostles whom Christ sent out to preach. After the Ascension of Christ, St. Matthias was chosen by lot to take the place of Judas Iscariot among the Twelve Apostles (Acts 1:15–26). Following the descent of the Holy Spirit, he preached the Gospel in Jerusalem and throughout Judea and traveled to various regions, proclaiming the teachings of Christ and bringing many people to faith.

Through the power of God, St. Matthias performed miracles and endured many dangers for the sake of the Gospel. He was imprisoned, persecuted, and even forced to drink poison, yet the Lord preserved him unharmed. Despite repeated threats against his life, he continued to preach Christ fearlessly. Eventually, St. Matthias returned to Judea, where he continued to proclaim that Jesus Christ is the promised Messiah and Son of God. The Jewish authorities arrested him and brought him before the Sanhedrin. After boldly defending the faith and proclaiming Christ, he was sentenced to death and received the crown of martyrdom around the year 63.

Other saints also commemorated on this day: Constantine, Patriarch of Constantinople, Euthymios the Hieromartyr, Metropolitan of Rhodes, Anthony the Martyr of Alexandria, Herman the Wonderworker of Alaska & First Saint of America

Blessed and joyous Feast of the Transfiguration!

“He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light… and suddenly a voice came out of the cloud saying, ‘This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!’ - Matthew 17:1-3, 5

Did you know that it is tradition in many churches to bring grapes and other fruit to Liturgy to be blessed for the Transfiguration? It reflects the ancient biblical tradition of offering the “first fruits” of the harvest to God in thanksgiving, acknowledging that all good things come from Him. Grapes symbolize not only gratitude but also transformation - just as grapes become wine, we are called to be transfigured and renewed in Christ. This act of blessing the fruits is also a joyful way for the faithful to participate in the grace of the feast, reminding us that even the simple gifts of creation can be sanctified and offered to God as signs of His glory and abundance.

If you head over to our blog, you’ll find a little explanation about what this feast day is, as well as a handful of activities we can do with our kids to help teach them about the Transfiguration: https://orthodoxchristianparenting.wordpress.com/2025/10/30/series-12-great-feasts-transfiguration-august-6/

Blessed Sunday!

The Gospel for the Ninth Sunday after Pentecost recounts the miraculous account of Jesus walking on water. After sending His disciples ahead by boat, Christ came to them in the midst of the storm. When Peter saw Jesus, he stepped out of the boat in faith, but became afraid when he noticed the wind and waves and began to sink. Jesus immediately reached out His hand and saved him. This Gospel reminds us that even when fear and doubt overwhelm us, Christ is always near, calling us to trust in Him.

Today the Church also commemorates the Transfer of the Relics of the Holy Protomartyr Stephen.

The Transfer of the Relics of the Holy Protomartyr and Archdeacon Stephen from Jerusalem to Constantinople took place around the year 428.
After St. Stephen was stoned to death, his holy body was left unburied. After a day and a night, Gamaliel, a respected teacher of the Law, secretly arranged for Stephen's body to be taken and buried on his own property, near Jerusalem. Later, Gamaliel also buried St. Stephen's fellow disciple, Nikodemus, nearby. After Gamaliel and his son Abibas were baptized, Gamaliel himself was also buried near the graves of St. Stephen and St. Nikodemus.

In the year 415, the relics of St. Stephen were miraculously discovered and solemnly transferred to Jerusalem. From that time, many healings were reported through his holy relics.
During the reign of Emperor Theodosius the Younger, St. Stephen's relics were transferred from Jerusalem to Constantinople and placed in the church of the holy deacon Laurence. Later, when a church dedicated to the Protomartyr Stephen was built, his relics were transferred there on August 2. Today, St. Stephen's right hand is preserved at the Trinity-Sergius Lavra.

Blessed Sunday!

The story of the miracle of feeding the 5,000 falls on the eighth Sunday after Pentecost. It recounts Jesus feeding a massive crowd of people with only five loaves of bread and two fish. Offered by a young boy, the food was multiplied and all ate until they were satisfied, with more still left over.

"We should never get caught in the devil’s trap of believing that we are unable or unworthy of spreading God’s blessings in the world. Setting our minds against the will of God is the first step in hardening our hearts against God’s purpose for us as conduits for His miracles. Even the little bit we have - be it money, time, talent or knowledge - is more than enough to meet the needs of others when we use them for God’s Kingdom. We do not need to be great saints or theologians; all we need is to have the willingness to look on our neighbor with compassion and offer what we have in the name of Christ.

As the Gospel lesson demonstrates, we should never send someone away who is hungry, whether that hunger is physical or spiritual. By doing so we may deny someone the miracle that God had planned for them and for us. We can ask, who benefited the most from the miraculous feeding: The multitude or the disciples? I would say that they both received a blessing by giving and receiving. Every time we have an encounter with someone in the name of Christ, we too are changed by that experience, no matter how big or small the effort. No one can be touched by Christ and not walk away a changed person.” - Dcn. Michael of St. Mary Magdalene Orthodox Church

Today on the sixth Sunday after Pentecost, we hear the account of Christ healing the paralytic. When the man was brought before Him, Jesus first forgave his sins commanded him to rise, take up his bed, and go home, and immediately he was healed. This miracle reminds us that Christ came to restore both body and soul, offering forgiveness, healing, and new life to all who place their faith in Him.
