Christ Ascends, Yet Remains
Christ did not leave humanity behind in the Ascension—He carried it into the very heart of God. In this reflection on the Feast of the Ascension, we explore what it means that flesh, wounds, grief, joy, and human longing have all been taken into divine life. The Ascension is not about absence, but about discovering the living presence of Christ wherever love becomes tangible: in mercy, welcome, compassion, shared burdens, and communion with one another.

The Scandal and the Witness: Christianity's Failure and Its Faithfulness

Holy Saturday: Christ in the Depths, Light in the Darkness
There is a silence on Holy Saturday that feels different than any other day in the Christian year. It is not the loud grief of Good Friday. It is not yet the bursting joy of Pascha.

The Strength That Stayed: Women at the Cross, the Tomb, and the Dawn
There is a silence that settles over the Church on Good Friday that words can't quite hold. It is not just grief. It is not just loss.

You Are An Icon of the Love of God
This Sunday offers a breathtaking convergence: the Transfiguration of Christ and the Sunday of Orthodoxy — the restoration of holy icons. One mountain. One revelation. One truth: God has made Himself visible.

Beginning Again: The Rite of Forgiveness and the Freedom to Start Fresh

Christianity Was Never Meant to Defend Empires
There is a persistent claim in modern culture: If Christianity had truly shaped the world, we would have a better world. And there is truth in that accusation.

Between Egypt and the Cross: The Holy Family, the Thieves, and Us
