On Spiritual Progress in the Home

Last updated on: August 28, 2007 at 6:59 am By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

Question: Geronta, how can a husband become practiced in the virtues?Answer: God will give him opportunities. Many men, however, after asking God to give them opportunities to practice the virtues, grumble when they are faced with a certain difficulty. For example, sometimes the Good God, in His boundless love, and in order to provide practice in humility and patience, will take away his Grace from the wife, and she will begin acting outlandishly and treating the husband inconsiderately. Then the... Read more

On Prayer

Last updated on: August 27, 2007 at 7:23 am By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

Prayer is more essential to us, more an integral part of ourselves, than the rhythm of our breathing or the beating of our heart. Without prayer there is no life. Prayer is our nature. As humans we are created for prayer just as we are created to speak and to think. The human animal is best described, not as a logical or tool-making animal or an animal that laughs, but rather as an animal that prays, a eucharistic animal, capable... Read more

I Once Was Black but Now I’m … White?

Last updated on: August 25, 2007 at 8:17 pm By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

When I’m in my car, I usually listen to National Public Radio. That’s quite a transformation for a man who once saw KISS, Willie Nelson, and Prince all in the same year – BUT … and I paraphrase … “Those without sin cast the first 8-track.” Honestly, over the years I’ve found that listening to Classical Music is the best way to not only control road rage — but to actually enjoy driving. Therefore, I listen to NPR stations a... Read more

The Cry of Saints in Old Age

Last updated on: August 23, 2007 at 8:48 am By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

Lord, this warfare in the body is a heavy burden and to have fought until now is enough. But if it is Thine order that I toil on still, mounting guard over the camp of Thy people, I do not refuse, nor plead the feebleness of age. I will consecrate myself to the fulfillment of the duties Thou dost lay upon me; I will fight on under Thy banners, so long as it is Thy command. Sweet to an old... Read more

Regarding AFR Podcasts …

Last updated on: August 21, 2007 at 8:44 am By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

Please forgive, especially you techies & geeks, this Podcast primer. However, as I often get questions or comments that indicate a tiny bit of frustration and a goodly dollop of ignorance in regard to “acquiring” internet recordings (broadcasts) known as “Podcasts” — here’s some helps: You do not need to tune in at a particular time to listen to a Podcast. You do not need to have — or be able to operate — an iPod. You do need a... Read more

Elder Paisios on Marriage

Last updated on: August 20, 2007 at 10:49 am By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

The following is an English translation, by Fr Luke Hartung, from a teaching on family life by the late Elder Paisios the Athonite.Geronta, a certain young man who has chosen the married life asked me how one properly begins this. From the beginning, he should seek to find a good girl who will comfort him, as people are relaxed and find comfort differently with different people. He should not seek to find someone who is rich or beautiful, but above... Read more
