Christ is Risen and Ascended to the Heavens.

By God's grace, we are pleased to announce our annual summer Theology Convention, July 10-12, 2026. The theme for this year's convention is "The Eucharist: Mystery of Mysteries." The Eucharist lies at center of our life in Christ through the Church for our salvation. We ask God that through this discussion of the theology of the Eucharist, He might grant us a deeper understanding and practice of this great mystery.

Registration is online at: https://www.stshenoudamonastery.org/conventions/the-eucharist
Registration deadline: Sunday, June 21

Details are in the attached flyer. Given space constraints, everyone is responsible for their own accommodations, but meals will be provided, God willing.

We look forward to having you with us on that weekend. Please spread the word. Keep this service in your prayers.

Christ is Risen. Truly He is Risen.

Χριστός ανεστη. Αληθώς ανεστη.
Christ is Risen. Truly He is Risen.

"He became a human being not to give grace to some and not to others but to take pity on our entire fallen nature. This kind of relationship, however, will be of no benefit to those who are haughty in their unbelief. Rather, it will be assigned, like an excellent reward, to those who love him. It is like the resurrection. The resurrection extends to all people because of the Savior’s resurrection, who raised the entire human nature along with him. It will be of no use, however, to those who are devoted to sin. They will go down to Hades and receive a restoration to life only to be punished. But it will be of great benefit to those who have practiced the more excellent way of life, since they will receive resurrection in order to participate in blessings beyond the imagination. In the same way, I think, being related to him extends to all people, both the wicked and the good, but it is not the same for everyone. For those who believe in him, it is the beginning of a true family relation and all that comes with it, but for those who are otherwise, it stands as a bitter accusation of their thanklessness and unholiness" (St. Cyril of Alexandria, Commentary on John 10:14-15).
