Parables of Community St. John the Compassionate Mission, and Ancient Faith Ministries

Frank (or Isaac, in the Church), a regular member of the community, passed away suddenly near the end of March. A mixup with his phone provided the community with the chance to learn of his passing, and opened the door for his daughter to share her grief with others who also loved her father.

A question recently posed at the mission caused Fr. Nicolaie to recall an experience he had when he was a teacher in Romania; and to reflect on how we each have our very own occasional "Emmaus" roads.

Brother Luke shares a collection of interactions and experiences from within the community.

In the heart of every prodigal son, at the time of prayer, God prepares a real place ready to offer hospitality to the one that is wounded.

Members of the community interact with the story of the Canaanite woman's faith, sharing their crumbs of wisdom.
