Joseph: A Teenager's Dilemma
When I call Joseph "the forgotten man of Christmas," that's not an exaggeration.
Not much is said about him in the Bible. Not many sermons are preached about
him. As a matter of fact, there's just not much written about Joseph at all. ...

St. Joseph's Humility
Just as St. Joseph took care to guard his virtues under cover of very holy
humility, he was also diligent in hiding the precious pearl of his virginity. If
he agreed to be married, it was so that, without anyone knowing it, he could

Why I Love Saint Joseph
Saint Joseph accepted to live within the enclosure of an ordinary existence with
Mary, his virgin bride, and with Jesus, the Son of the Eternal Father. His was

'….and Death is Gain' - A Meditation on the Christian View of Death
I am struck that, these days, almost no one publicly speaks of their longing to
depart this life and be with God. I suspect it is because we live very
comfortably, at least in the affluent West. ...

Death is Not the End of Our Story
Death is not the end of the story for those who know the Lord. The Bible tells
us what lies ahead for those who know Jesus. As we come to 2 Corinthians 5, we
discover wonderful truths that give us hope as we face death with all its dark
fears. ...
V. Priest's Wife (Baskiyamo)
14.
The Orthodox Clergy Wife
Orthodox cultures have always seen the position of priest's wife as
something special. Yet there really is no "job description" for what she
should do or be. ..
15.
The Shadow of a Priest
When a woman marries a future priest, she is also marrying, in advance, his
future parish and his priesthood. When he is ordained his wife can often be
relegated to a life of isolation, neglect and ceaseless beady-eyed scrutiny."
