Monday First Things - Teachings of the Holy Fathers 
7/10/24, 06:00 AM
Posted by Fr. Gregory


Do you really think that our vigilance or any podvigs [spiritual struggles] are powerful and sufficient to give us boldness before the Holy Chalice? Do you remember the thief? One sigh of sincere repentance, simple faith in the merits of the Crucified One—this is our justification, not our illusory podvigs. Of course, we have to labor, but not such that we see and imagine our justification and dignity are in these podvigs. "A heart that is broken and humbled God will not despise" (Ps. 50:19).

Scripture Reading for the Coming Week 
6/10/24, 06:00 PM
Posted by Fr. Gregory

"This is the cause of all evils: the ignorance of the Scriptures. We go into battle without arms, and how ought we to come off safe?" -St. John Chrysostom, Homily IX on Colossians.

In order to help increase the general knowledge of scripture in our parish family we present here for your edification the scripture readings for the coming week. At least one Gospel Reading and one Epistle reading are assigned for each day of the year (although during Great Lent the readings are from the Old Testament). Hearing or reading only those readings appointed for Sunday merely scratches the surface of the great spiritual wealth that the scriptures provide us. Some of the readings are easily understandable – others are less so. As Orthodox Christians we do not make private interpretation of scripture, but rather consult the fathers of the Church for their explanations to aid us in our understanding. Those wishing to have access to such explanations are asked to contact Fr. Gregory or inquire in the kiosk for further reading in this regard. Bibles may also be acquired in the kiosk.

Monday: Galatians 4:28-5:10 & Luke 4:37-44
Tuesday: Galatians 5:11-21 & Luke 5:12-16
Wednesday: Galatians 6:2-10 & Luke 5:33-39
Thursday: Ephesians 1:1-9 & Luke 6:12-19
Friday: Ephesians 1:7-17 & Luke 6:17-23
Saturday: I Corinthians 10:23-28 & Luke 5:17-26

Ïîíåäåëüíèê: Ãàë. 4:28-5:10 è îò Ëóêè 4:37-44
Âòîðíèê: Ãàë. 5:11-21 è îò Ëóêè 5:12-16
Ñðåäà: Ãàë. 6:2-10 è îò Ëóêè 5:33-39
×åòâåðã: Åô. 1:1-9 è îò Ëóêè 6:12-19
Ïÿòíèöà: Åô. 1:7-17 è îò Ëóêè 6:17-23
Ñóááîòà: I Êîð. 10:23-28 è îò Ëóêè 5:17-26

Please find below several very nice articles on how to read the scripture from an Orthodox point of view.

Confession & Communion at St. Vladimir’s + Rule to Prepare for Communion  
6/10/24, 06:00 AM
Posted by Fr. Gregory

Confession and Communion are the two sacraments we most often partake of as Orthodox Christians and thus it behooves us to learn about these, how to prepare for these, and how to best take advantage of the Grace that our Lord freely gives us in these sacraments. At St. Vladimir’s we have created a special web site for this purpose with much information in this regard. Please find the web site listed below and please contact Fr. Gregory with questions!

Young men, mature men, all men! Being a man in today’s world is a challenge. Being a Christian man is an even greater challenge! Join us for a meal and fellowship at Fr. Gregory’s on Sunday, October 27 at 6:00 p.m. No agenda, except for our mature men to mentor our young men, and our young men to inspire our mature men. If we support each other the body of Christ is strengthened and everyone wins, including Christian women, who need strong Christian men (just as Christian men need strong Christian women).
