Chapter Two

March 1, 2021March 1, 2021 Susan

Chapter Two of Time and Despondency runs very deep! The title of the chapter bears the same title as the book, Time and Despondency. This chapter is all about time.

God Be Gracious Unto Us

Let… Continue reading God Be Gracious Unto Us

Prayers

February 25, 2021 Susan

It has been about just over a year since I first wrote about the prayers of the Akathist Hymn to Almight God for Help in Times of Trouble.

Publican and the Pharisee

February 23, 2021 Susan

On Sunday, as I mentioned then, we in the Orthodox Church found ourselves on what we call the Publican and the Pharisee Sunday. Each year as we prepare for Great Lent, three weeks prior to its start, we are reminded of this parable. “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee… Continue reading Publican and the Pharisee
