HALKI: Destruction of Chapel in Turkey

Last updated on: November 19, 2007 at 9:42 am By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

Istanbul (AsiaNews) – A XVII century chapel dedicated to Our Lord’s Transfiguration, which lies in front of the Halki School of Theology, was almost completely destroyed [last week] by Forest Guards. The Church had been recently restored with the permission of local authorities. Demolishers had begun tearing down the building without any prior warning, which is called for in such cases. Only at the last minute was the total destruction of the chapel avoided: following protests by the prior of... Read more

Killing ME Softly (Twice)

Last updated on: November 18, 2007 at 6:50 am By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

We once had a preacher who delivered a Sunday night sermon using hunting analogies. He walked up to the front of the auditorium in hunting cap and vest, carrying a rod and reel, shotgun and other hunting props. I remember sitting in the pew, cringing in embarrassment and thinking to myself: “Just don’t lay the shotgun on the communion table. Just don’t lay the shotgun on the communion table.” He did. That preacher didn’t last long. But apparently, his only... Read more

Word & Virgin – God in Human Flesh

Last updated on: November 16, 2007 at 11:45 am By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

The reason for the Nativity Fast and the festive season of Christmas is: God became flesh. God spoke, and this Word put on humanity that we might put on divinity. Or, as St Athanasius writes, “God became man, that man might become God.” Within the Virgin Mary the Word was clothed with human flesh and Christ was born: God dressed in human flesh. The first Eve, by her disobedience, bore the fruit of death to Adam, all Mankind. The new... Read more

On True Fasting

Last updated on: November 15, 2007 at 2:11 pm By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

It is necessary most of all for one who is fasting to curb anger, to accustom himself to meekness and condescension, to have a contrite heart, to repulse impure thoughts and desires, to examine his conscience, to put his mind to the test and to verify what good has been done by us in this or any other week, and which deficiency we have corrected in ourselves in the present week. This is true fasting. — St. John Chrysostom Thanks... Read more

In other words, what I meant to say is: Grace is old enough to remember 8-tracks. Realizing that this is still a foggy concept for many, I have posted a picture of the blog the 8-track at left.
