Monthly Message from Fr. Ghassan - September/October 2025
The Cross in the Orthodox Church The Cross stands at the very heart of the Orthodox Christian faith. It is not merely a historical object or a religious symbol, but the living sign of Christ’s love, sacrifice, and victory over death. For the Orthodox Church, the Cross is both a mystery to be contemplated and a power to be experienced in daily life. 1. The Cross as the Tree of Life In the beginning, humanity fell through the disobedience of Adam and Eve at the tree in the Garden. But in Christ, salvation is offered through another Tree—the life-giving Cross. The Fathers of the Church often describe the Cross as the New Tree of Life, planted at the center of the world, from which flows forgiveness, healing, and eternal life. Thus, the Cross is not simply an instrument of torture but is transfigured into the means of our salvation. What was once a sign of death has become for us a source of life.

Saint of the Month - September/October 2025 - St Eumenius and St Philip
St Eumenius of Gortyna. Sept 18. Saint Eumenius from the time of his youth was noted for his virtuous life. He strove to serve the One God and therefore he shunned worldly temptations. Concerned by the salvation of his soul, he distributed all his substance to the poor. By the blessing of God Saint Eumenius was chosen as Bishop of Gortyna on the island of Crete. The saint, like a compassionate father, comforted his flock in their sorrows, and cared for the orphaned and indigent. His prayers were so strong before God that once, during a drought, he called forth abundant rain upon the earth. Saint Eumenius wisely and zealously defended the Orthodox Faith against the Monophysite heresy. For his opposition to the heresy the saint was banished to the Thebaid, where he died in the seventh century. His body was then transferred and buried in Gortyna.
