Nothing more important than Sacred Liturgy

There is nothing on Earth, higher, greater or more holy than the divine liturgy, nothing more solemn, nothing more life-giving.

~Saint John Kronstadt

Experience and the witness of the saints on the importance of the sacred Liturgy (or Divine Liturgy, if you will) has a correspondence to truth that is undeniable. Much of what passes as the worship of the Triune God is unspeakable. What needs to happen in the Church, especially here in the Northeast, is a move to adopt a living sense of the Catholic Tradition.

Spirit is manifest

Byzantine priest at DLIn each of us the energy of the Spirit is made manifest according to the measure of his faith (Rom 12:6). Therefore each of us is the steward of his own grace and, if we think logically, we should never envy another person the enjoyment of his gifts, since the disposition which makes us capable of receiving divine blessings depends on ourselves.
