For the inward thought of man shall give praise unto Thee, and the remainder of his inward thought shall keep a feast to Thee. (Psalm 75:10)
What does Psalm verse mean? For those who know me, it is easy to know what it means. It means all I care about, the purpose of man, and how to fulfill it. A little movie with my grandson, Owen Daniel, aka “axe-man”.

Ephesians 4:1–6, Luke 10:25–37
Fr. Seraphim answers the question posed to Christ in the Gospels “Who is my neighbor?” through an explanation of the Parable of the Good Samaritan — a more theologically profound story than most Christians realize. The Parable speaks of the meaning of Jesus’ Incarnation into this world, and as such is an encapsulation of the entire message of the Gospels. Join us as we meditate on this weeks’ readings in preparation for the start of the Nativity Fast.

Like the disciples of Jesus in today's Gospel, we seek to understand the reasons behind our misfortunes and difficulties; but perhaps in our pursuit we are asking the wrong questions.

What is a “Dogmatic Theotokion?” We look at the one in Tone 6 in detail and discuss the resurrection, the incarnation, atheism, prayer to the saints, and rhetorical questions.
“Who doth not call thee blessed, * O all-holy Virgin? * Who will not hymn thine all-pure birthgiving? * For the only-begotten Son * Who shone forth timelessly from the Father, * came forth, ineffably incarnate, from
thee, the pure one; * and being God by nature, He became man for our sake, * not divided into two persons, * but known in two natures without confusion. * Him do thou beseech, * O pure and most blessed one, * that our souls find mercy!”
Partial Timestamps:
0:34- 1:28“Who doth not call thee blessed, O all-holy Virgin, Who will not hymn thine all-pure birth-giving?” Answer all rhetorical questions!
1:28-3:39 “For the only-begotten son, Who shone forth timelessly from the Father came forth ineffably incarnate from thee, the pure one.”
3:42 – 7:30 “And being God by nature, He became man for our sake, not divided into two Persons, * but known in two natures without confusion.”
4:35 – 5:11 Why is atheism a denial of self?
6:06 – 7:30 The implications of Jesus Christi being “but known in two natures without confusion.”
8:13 - “11:26 Him do thou beseech, * O pure and most blessed one, * that our souls find mercy!”
9:54 - 11:26 God is not the God of the dead. He is the God of the living. Understanding the resurrection and the saints.

Dec 6/19 The Holy Martyr Nicholas Karamos is an important "type" of martyr for our day of increasing apostasy. Do you think all the martyrs were holy and almost perfect before their martyrdoms, and this is why they had the strength to endure terrible things. Wrong!
