The spiritual wisdom of Saint Benedict has endured for centuries and quite literally shaped Western culture from its inception. Tenets of the order, like its motto and Saint Benedict’s Rule, are just as influential for lay people as they are for the Benedictine monks and nuns. The cross and medal of St. Benedict is also among the gifts bestowed by the Benedictine Order. For centuries, it has been a conduit for God’s power against malicious spirits.

Contents: 1. That True Faith is Impossible Without Works of Repentance; 2. That Baptism Alone is Not Sufficient to Save Without Keeping God’s Commandments; 3. and On Why God Made Those Who Would Perish. St. Gregory represents Orthodox theology at its most sublime.

Homily XXIV from the corpus, in Saint Gregory Palamas: The Homilies (2009 and 2014), with introduction and detailed notes. Also published in The Saving Work of Christ: Sermons by Saint Gregory Palamas (2008). Excerpt:- "Those miracles accomplished by the Lord in the flesh, which bore witness that He was God’s only-begotten Son in His own person, united with us in the last days, came to an end. On the other hand, those wonders began which proclaimed the Holy Spirit as a divine person in His own right, that we might come to know and contemplate the great and venerable mystery of the Holy ...

"I shall start by quoting to your charity the end of the Lord’s parable in today’s Gospel reading, “Many are called, but few are chosen” (Matt. 22:14). The Lord teaches us this through the whole parable, that we might strive to be not merely among those invited, but among the elect. For anyone who is just one of those called, but not one of the chosen, is not only deprived of the light without evening, but is also led away into outer darkness. After his hands have been bound, because they did not do God’s work, and his feet, because they did not run towards God, he is delivered up...

Patristic theology in the fourteenth century, of which St. Gregory is indubitably the greatest exponent, touched the very boundaries of theological expression. St. Gregory’s sermons are among the finest in Patristic literature. In his treatment of the manifold themes contained therein, he is remarkably consistent in maintaining a balance between originality of thought and strict adherence to the tradition of his predecessors. Moreover, his genius resides in...

"He Who was before anything existed, and of His goodness made everything out of nothing, is in all things, even though He is above all. He was in the world before He came in the flesh, but the world did not recognize Him, as they did not want to (cf. John 1:10). But those who were willing did know Him. All who acknowledged Him were accepted, and those who did not were left, as Paul, who not only wanted to know God, but was wanted by Him, and strove to apprehend that for which also he was apprehended (Phil. 3:12), says, writing of the pagan Greeks: “Even as they did not like to retain God ...

Listen to our smart, un-preachy preaching, which draws on critical scholarship and life experiences to encounter God at work among us.

Opening passage "THE time is always right to make a beginning of a way of life that will lead to salvation. To prove this, the great Paul says, “Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation” (2 Cor. 6:2). “Let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us do the works of light. Let us walk honestly as in the day” (cf. Rom. 13:12–13). He does not mean that one particular hour or day is the acceptable time, but the whole period after the manifestation of Our Lord and God and Saviour Jesus Christ. When the visible sun has risen upon earth it is time...
