Condolences, promises and thoughts about God’s inscrutable will regarding the repose of +Bishop Athanasios Akunda of Kisumu and All Western Kenya.
The video says his Grace fell sick, and I’ve since learned that he actually was coming to United States for treatment for a very aggressive and rare form of cancer. The child in the video is my grandson, Owen +Daniel. Since I was taking care of him, I needed to hold him during the video. Normally I make videos with him because he so cute, and if someone doesn’t want to look at the video, they might want to look at him and they might learn something, but in this case it was just because of necessity.

The Christian life, and salvation, is impossible without the Holy Spirit abiding in us. This is what we celebrate on Pentecost, and all of the readings for the feast teach us not only about the ministry of the Holy Spirit, but also how we must live.

On the day of his commemoration (or Jan 3), we talk about a passage from the prophet Malachi (2:1-7)and its application to the modern Christian priesthood. We indeed are “messengers of the Lord Almighty,” but only if we are true priests. We talk about what a true priest is and what he does not. The Old Testament is not obsolete. We talk about how its description of the Jewish priesthood applies to the Christian priesthood. A priest's primary purpose is the same as anyone else’s purpose. He is born to know God. As he struggles to know God and follow the commandments, the grace of ordination helps him to help others to fulfill their purpose. If a priest is not struggling to live a robust inner life, he is almost useless.

Parable of the Sower. Any ground can become good ground.
The parable of the sower describes four kinds of ground, and only one of them brings forth fruit, that is, leads to salvation. Many times, we think statically about this parable and think that a person is one kind of ground or another and does not change. Actually, any ground can become good ground. The epistle and second gospel tells us two things that we must know and do in order to become good ground. In the Epistle of St. Paul today, he talked about glorying in his infirmities. This is absolutely essential but we must understand what this term means. We also must understand as we glorying our infirmities that God loves us will never abandon us. If we understand these two things, any ground can become good ground.

On the day we celebrate the beheading of St. John the Baptist with a mixture of joy and sorrow and all we consider a day that is a day of death and life and way of life that is of life and way of life that is of death. Because of the times we are in when people are calling death life and life death, we make comments about the pandemic and mandates and how we are to live in such times if we want to follow the way of life.
