In this homily from the Sunday of St. Mary of Egypt in 2008, Fr. Pat discusses the occasion for the writing of the Gospel of Mark, the response of the Apostles to the cross, and the question Jesus asks James and John in the 10th chapter of Mark, which is the same question He asks us as we approach the chalice.

We live in a time of great darkness. I’ve been listening to Fr Reardon for almost two years. His homilies are wisdom from heaven. Pure peace loving and full of good fruit. My soul has been abundantly satisfied by this fruit. I hope yours will be too.

As a convert to Eastern Orthodoxy, before and after conversion, I have been thoroughly blessed by Father Reardon's homilies. He was extremely helpful answering questions in the beginning and challenges me to live as a Christian.
