Without a hidden life, there is *no* life.
Some thoughts while watching the sunrise, at North Padre Island beach, and after watching the movie: "A Hidden Life", and chewing on the quote at the end of the movie, which perfectly describes the courageous hidden life of all true Christians and also describes our disordered times of secular fear and compliance with uncanny accuracy. How are we to build this hidden life? If we fail to do so, we are dead, even as we appear outwardly to be alive.
"For the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.” ― George Eliot, Middlemarch "

1 Corinthians 1:10–18, Matthew 14:14–22
Jesus tells the apostles in today’s Gospel “You give then to eat” in response to the hungry crowd of thousands. It is a privilege to be a Christian, to participate in God’s love for the world. Life can sometimes seems overwhelming with its problems and challenges, but there is a solution — and it is simple.

2ND S
2nd-sunday-after-pentecost-(june-18,
All Russian Saints. How should we think about non-Orthodox relatives? Can the non-Orthodox be saved? Can the non-Orthodox be good? How the Church defines itself, and what we believe. What the real importance of dogma is, and how dogma impacts the Christian life. The “family life” of the Church - developing a relationship with the Saints.

2 Timothy 3:10–15, Luke 18:10–14
Hebrews 13:17–21, Luke 6:17–23 (St. Alexis, Metropolitan of Moscow)
In the readings for St. Alexis we meditate on who are “the Blessed” of Jesus’s Sermon on the Mount. To understand why these people, who are lacking in so many of the qualities generally associated with blessedness on this earth, are commended by Christ, we must understand the parable of the Publican and the Pharisee. The Pharisee is self satisfied and self-absorbed; he experiences his reward in this life, while the Publican approaches the Lord with humility and goes away justified.

THE P
the-purpose-of-great-lent-is-to-learn-to
During our twice-monthly liturgy in our Parole house in Marshall (run by St. Joseph the All Comely Orthodox prison ministry), we comment about the Gospel read on Clean Saturday: Mark 2:23-3:5. In this gospel, a man with a withered hand was healed on the Sabbath day and the Lord asks the judgemental and wrathful Pharisees and ruling elite: "is it lawful to do good on the sabbath day, or to do evil? To save life, or to kill?" We use this as an opportunity to discuss the purpose of great Lent which indeed is the purpose of our life, although during this season we are more intense in trying to fulfill our purpose. All of our life is for us to learn to be remade into the likeness of the One who made us in His image. We learn to do this primarily by learning to love. Therefore, we develop the idea that the purpose of Great Lent is to learn to love without excuses.
