http://www.goarch.org daily 1 2009-06-24T13:57:08Z http://www.goarch.org/news/reflectionsfebruary2010 In our previous reflections, we have focused on the theme “Gather My People to My Home,” as it relates to our calling to reach out to all people and invite them to come and see the power and beauty of faith and experience the love of God within our communities. As we have examined, this calling is to reach out to those who have become disassociated from their Orthodox faith, to the unchurched, and to others who are struggling to find answers to the questions of life. Another group of people that we need to engage with the truth and love of the Gospel consists of those who openly profess that they do not believe in God.

In previous reflections we have addressed our calling to gather both “disconnected” Orthodox Christians and the unchurched.

As a consequence, a serious question was raised: Who are the people whom we are trying to "gather"?

This is the area of our everyday life, of the manner by which we lead our lives. Practically, this is the issue of what is called “lifestyle.” In this case a pertinent, two-fold question arises, “What is our lifestyle, and how can it be renewed?” No publisher photi release reflections 2009-01-09T17:00:00Z Article http://www.goarch.org/news/2008-02-12-archpastoralfeb2008 No publisher photi release reflections 2009-01-09T16:55:00Z Article http://www.goarch.org/news/2007-12-5-archpastoraldec2007 No publisher photi release reflections 2009-01-09T16:55:00Z Article http://www.goarch.org/news/2007-09-10-archpastoralreflectin911 Over the past few months we have given attention to the topic of “security” as it is understood within our Orthodox faith. No publisher photi release reflections 2009-01-09T17:55:00Z Article http://www.goarch.org/news/2007-05-18-archpastoralreflection In continuing with our series of reflections on authentic sources of security, we turn to consider the holy angels and their roles in our lives as "ministering spirits sent for the sake of those who are to obtain salvation" (Hebrews 1:14). As God's appointed messengers and guardians, we may gain a real and lasting comfort knowing that the holy angels are with us throughout our lives in times of danger and distress. This is what we mean when we pray to the Lord at our divine services for "an angel of peace, a faithful guide, and a guardian of our souls and bodies."
