3rd Sunday of Holy Lent - The Prodigal SonAll the tax collectors and the sinners approached to listen to Him. So He talked to them using this parable. With this proverb He opened the heavenly gates before the sinners. He revealed the Father's overwhelming love for our return to Him. He is not pleased by the death of a sinner, but to his return and to live. It is known that our Lord Jesus came to inform us about the Father. Here our blessed Jesus announced the secret of the Father's thoughts with respect to our return to Him. Here is the rejoicing of the returning from a long trip, from far away countries, and the darkness of... Sunday Contemplations | Father Louka Sidarous | Tuesday, 18 March 2008 Read more |
4th Sunday of Holy Lent - The Samaritan WomanHe needs to go through Samaria His meeting with the Samaritan woman, at the Sychar well, was within the Lord’s mission. It was a laborious journey that took 6 hours to walk and with extreme endurance of the elements, until the sixth hour of the day (12 noon). The Lord endured all of that just for the joy of gaining the subject placed before Him, for the sake of wining the soul of the Samaritan woman. Therefore, our meeting with Jesus is not accomplished with friendship, or conditional… For Jesus doesn’t abide to conditions, or changes. The meeting is a premeditated and divinely arranged. Our Lord Jesus places this obli... Sunday Contemplations | Father Louka Sidarous | Tuesday, 18 March 2008 Read more |
5th Sunday of Holy Lent - The Sick of BethesdaJesus went to Jerusalem during the feast. In Jerusalem there was a pool by the Sheep Gate, which is called Bethesda. Around the pool lay great multitudes who were sick, blind, and lame paralyzed waiting for the water to be stirred. For an angel came down and stirred up the water; then whoever stepped in first, after the stirring of the water, was made well of whatever disease he had. Among the multitude of the sick laid this paralyzed man, who had an infirmity for thirty-eight years… When Jesus saw him, and knew that he had been in that condition a long time, He said to him, "Do you wa...

3rd Sunday of Hatour - Following Jesus"Now great multitudes went with Him, and He turned and said to them, 'If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own self also, he cannot be My disciple. And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple.'" (Luke 14:25-27). Great Multitudes Numerously we read about great multitudes crowding Jesus. But few of those who were in touch with Him were saved. Some of these examples are the bleeding woman, Zacchaeus the tax collector, and the born blind. Those are the ones who knew ho...

True LoveSaint John the Beloved identified Christian love by two essential descriptions: love must be both active and genuine. He said, "My little children, lets not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth." (1 John 3:18) There are also many examples of how practical love towards God and one another should be. We also showed how God, when he died for us, provided us with the perfect model of active love which was revealed in its highest form. (Rom 5:...
