“‘Whatever we do,’ says Saint Porphyrios, ‘whether prayer, advice, or guidance, we should do it with love.’
We must always have love.

‘Without love, prayer is of no benefit. To make a dry enumeration of some names, to say: “Lord, have mercy on so-and-so,”—prayer must also have pain (compassion),’ said Saint Paisios of Mount Athos. ‘It must also have heart; then prayer is effective. Even when we make a suggestion to our child, a remark—if it does not have love, it does no good. Rather, it provokes a reaction.’
‘So, without love, prayer does not benefit. Advice wounds. Guidance harms instead of helping and even destroys the other person.’

Many times a mother says to me:
— How should I speak to my child? What should I say?

It is not a matter of what you will say, but how you will say it. If you say it with love, with compassion, even a simple word, a simple conversation, the child will receive the message. It doesn’t require many words; it requires much love with few words.’

- Hieromonk Savvas Agioritis

We are expecting to have many newcomers this Sunday. For this reason we will be holding a class after the Liturgy explaining our parish's catechumenate process. If you have been looking for a good opportunity to visit an Orthodox Church, "come and see!"

We are almost done with our fundraiser update video, but we need some B-roll of scenic downtown Cullman. Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated as we are rushing to finish the project!

Good morning all,

After comments and complaints over the past year of people being directed to the other side of town by our address, I discovered that our Facebook address zip code was off by one.

The Facebook address has been updated and is verified as our correct location.

Hope to see you all soon.

In Christ,
Fr. Theodore

Dear all,

Please forgive me but Wednesday Complines, including tonight's, are cancelled until my family and I can work out a good routine with the birth of our 3rd child.

In Christ,
Fr. Theodore
