He says: Boulevard when he saw a homeless man holding a sign that read, “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved “Kindness is the best medicine.” It prompted a lot of memories for you” (v. 12). Thinking of his imminent sacrifice on the cross, He adds: “Greater love has no man than this, that Logothetis, who had moved to the U.S. from England where he a man lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends, if you do what I command you” (v. 13-14). These worked as a successful broker. Despite earning excellent money, words, said at the Last Supper, summarize Jesus’ full message.

His journey became the basis for a book and television show Thus Jesus shows us the path to follow Him: the path of love. His commandment is not a simple called “The Amazing Adventures of a Nobody”—and enhanced teaching which is always abstract or foreign to life. Christ’s commandment is new because He realized it first, his desire to make more friendly, human connections in his life. He gave His flesh and thus the law of love is written upon the heart of man (cf. Jer 31:33). And how is it writ- The homeless man’s sign then triggered a new goal. Logothetis ten?

Jesus showed us dubbed “Kindness One” (like Air Force One) and literally live off that the love of God is realized in love for our neighbour. Both go hand-in-hand. The pages of the Gospel are the kindness of strangers.

Everything would have to be provided by into the heart of Christ. the people he met along the way.

This is the love that Jesus taught we spoke about it recently on “Christopher Closeup.” us. It is a new love because Jesus and his Spirit renewed it. It is a redeeming love, free from selfishness. A love One of the people Logothetis met was Willy, who invited him to which gives our hearts joy, as Jesus himself said: “These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in stay in his home.

  • OPEN LETTER to the Most Reverend STEPHEN CHMILAR, D.D., Eparch
    OPEN LETTER to The Most Reverend STEPHEN CHMILAR, D.D. Eparch of Toronto and Eastern Canada September 27, 2007 RE: The new intended sale of the MOST HOLY MOTHER OF GOD MONASTERY Dear Bishop Stephen, Glory to Jesus Christ! We, the benefactors, financial supporters and extended spiritual lay community of the Most Holy Mother of God Monastery in Orangeville, Ontario, have learned from Your Grace's letter of notification to Father Marian Struc, the newly appointed spiritual leader of the Monastery, of the intention of the Eparchy to sell the Marian Shrine to the Coptic Orthodox Church as of January 14th, 2008. The main reasons given for the new sale are the ongoing mortgage arrears to the Cistercians, and the imminent danger of losing the Monastery to foreclosure. We would like to draw attention to three affirmations contained in this letter, which, according to our knowledge, do not reflect the true nature of the situation, and which require further explanation. 1. The clear attempt to degrade the true spiritual value of the Mother of God Monastery as an active Marian Shrine and place of ongoing pilgrimage, referring to it in the letter as a "mission parish". According to our information, a mission parish is characterized by definite privileges, such as the right to administer the Sacraments of Baptism, Marriage, and the celebration of funerals, while, at the same time, the activity is restricted in scope to its own membership. This is certainly not the reality of the Mother of God Monastery. As holy ground sanctified by many years of monastic prayer, the Monastery continues to function as an active eparchial Marian Shrine, characterized by the preservation of the Studite Tradition in its ongoing liturgical prayer, and its openness to all Christian pilgrims.

My Lord Bishop Hlib, I wish to warmly welcome the Delegate for Great Britain and Ireland, and the Magisterial Delegate for interfaith relations of the Sacred Military Constantinian Order of Saint George, His Excellency Sir Anthony Bailey, and his wife, Her Serene Highness, Princess Marie-Therese von Hohenberg, Lady Baily. I would also like to welcome the Members of the Order’s Council, and friends of the Order, and in particular the Ambassador of the Republic of Lithuania, who is certainly today is one of the dearest and closest friends of the Ukraine. It also gives me great pleasure to welcome to the United Kingdom, my older brother James Nowakowski of Saskatoon, Canada, and also other members of my family and friends from Canada, and as well as friends of mine from the United Kingdom. Through your Excellency Sir Anthony, I would be grateful if you would extend my greetings to our Grand Master, His Royal Highness Prince Charles of Bourbon Two Sicilies, Duke of Castro, and to our Grand Prior, His Eminence Renato Raffaele Cardinal Martino. I am very humbled by this honour that I have received today by the hands of Your Excellency. Our Church, the Kyivan Church, through its thousand year history, has never severed its ties with the Holy See, however under the Byzantine influence we became estranged.

This annual Panachyda took place at St. Patrick’s Cathedral. While at St. Patrick’s, His Beatitude spoke of the necessity of remembering, “Famine not only hurts the human body, but it also deeply harms the human soul. It causes in the human soul a fear which paralyzes the human will to stand up against the ideology which takes away freedom. And what is even worse, this fear is passed on from generation unto generation. Such wounds can be healed only by the means of memory. That is why it is important to remember these tragic events - not only to heal past wounds, but also to prevent the recurrence of similar events in the future.
