    Humility Heals

    Fr. Joseph meditates on the virtue of humility. Christ humbled Himself by becoming human, living among us, and sacrificing Himself to save us. That’s the ultimate humility. This virtue is our best remedy. It’s this kind of humility that defeats the enemy and makes him powerless. Tune in to hear more. Fr. Joseph Abraham – February 4, 2024 Christ the Savior American Coptic Orthodox Church Diocese of Los Angeles www.thegoodsavior.org

    Come and See

    Fr. Joseph mediates on the concept of “come and see” and putting love to the test. When we surrender ourselves to the love of Christ, we can begin to feel the joy and peace that only comes through being in union with Him. The more we feel His love, the more we are eager to do His will, like fasting and prayer, acting in humility with others, loving our enemies, etc. Tune in to hear more. Fr.

    Confronting the Darkness

    Fr. Joseph meditates on finding hope in the darkness. He illustrates this in several examples where we are called to find hope in the darkest times by walking through the path and not running from it, by seeking the light of Christ, and by moving forward in love, no matter how difficult it may be. We must lean on our hope in Christ to be able to conquer any darkness that meets our path. Tune in to hear more.  Fr.

    Seeking Christ

    Fr. Joseph meditates on the intent to find Truth. When the Maggi seek Christ, even though they are gentiles, they do so at the expense of completely changing their life. When they saw the Truth in Christ, they knelt down and worshiped Him. We must ask ourselves if we seek the Truth with all our heart or do we ignore it when it wants to change us, purify us, refine us. Tune in to hear more. Fr. Joseph Abraham – January 7, 2024 Christ the Savior American Coptic Orthodox Church Diocese of Los Angeles www.thegoodsavior.org

    S.T.A.R.E.

    The scriptures call Christ The Dayspring from on high and The Sun of righteousness. That means He is The East—the direction of our orientation. Fr. Joseph meditates on what it spiritually means to look towards the east. Using the acronym STARE, we learn to orient our lives towards sacrifice, transformation, anticipation, remembrance, and elevation. Fr. Joseph Abraham – December 31, 2023 Christ the Savior American Coptic Orthodox Church Diocese of Los Angeles www.thegoodsavior.org

    When Mercy and Truth Meet

    Fr. Joseph mediates on the mercy and love of God and how we should emulate His mercy when we approach justice with others. And while we often mistake mercy for tolerance that conflicts with righteousness. Instead, we must stand in truth with compassion, that is the mercy that we should offer others. Tune in to hear more.

    Who Needs Who?

    Fr. Joseph explains that God desires and needs us, and that He is waiting for us to reciprocate this desire and need for Him. We can do this by offering our whole heart, through serving others, offering our time and effort, using our talents to shine His light to the world. Tune in to hear more. Fr. Joseph Abraham – December 19, 2023 Christ the Savior American Coptic Orthodox Church Diocese of Los Angeles www.thegoodsavior.org
