Christ Is Not the Cause of Your Fall (Sermon)

Saint Simeon the God-receiver says Christ is set for the rise and fall of many, that the thoughts of many hearts would be revealed.

Their relationship with holy people is a reflection of their relationship with God.

Oil is a pretty vague category, though, and I was wondering if I could get a more explicit description of what kinds of food and drink are excluded on strict fast days. Read more...
