Mon, 30 Mar 2026 19:45:46 -0500

Today, this first day of Holy Week, we relive triumph and seeming tragedy. Jesus has been crucified and buried in a tomb sealed with a boulder. It seems all is lost. We have relived a preview of Good Friday. Can anyone process the reality of one of the most egregious abuses of judicial process and power in all of history, in which the ONLY INNOCENT MAN ever to live is executed? What does this mean?

On this mountain, the mystery of Christ, transfigured, shown forth his divine nature, his risen and ascended existence to three earthbound disciples. Before his disfiguration, he was transfigured to provide an iconic preview of his post-resurrection body. We too shall be glorified with radiant light. Now, go and tell that Christ has died, Christ has risen and Christ will come again. Repent, for the Kingdom of God is at hand.

The Sacred Calendar of the Sacred Order - Advent 1 - Fr. Michael Flowers 11.30.25

Mon, 01 Dec 2025 19:45:30 -0600

The Church prioritizes the sacred calendar in view of the Sacred Order of God’s Kingdom. Faithfully participating in the movements of the calendar is to participate in Christ, the crucified, risen, ascended, and returning King. Such participation is an act of resistance against the secular age as defined by this disordered world, disordered humanity, and the Devil. To worship the one true God is an act of defiance against the temptations that visit us inwardly and outwardly. Ivanka Demchuk - Icon

Holy Trinity, ”O Beauty ever ancient, ever new” - Fr. Michael Flowers 6.15.25

Sun, 15 Jun 2025 21:07:06 -0500

“O Beauty ever ancient, ever new” From Confessions, Book X, Chapter 27: “Late have I loved you, O Beauty ever ancient and ever new! Late have I loved you!” This famous declaration captures Augustine’s profound realization that God is the ultimate source of beauty—timeless, renewing, and intimately close—even though Augustine initially sought comfort elsewhere. With eyes of faith, with eyes of the heart, we come to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord. Worship God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, in the beauty of holiness. Icon: Ivanka Demchuk

The First Day of New Creation - Raised with Christ - Fr. Michael Flowers 4.20.25

Sun, 20 Apr 2025 17:42:14 -0500

Christ is risen! He is risen, indeed. Alleluia! Easter Sunday is the first day of New Creation in the risen Lord Jesus Christ. And every Sunday, the first day of the week, is a little Easter, as the Church participates in the liturgy of the Word and the liturgy of the Table. Jesus enacts this pattern of worship with the two forlorn disciples on the road to Emmaus. In experiencing the risen Lord, their hearts burn within them, as he interprets the Scriptures concerning him. Their eyes were opened, and they recognized him in the breaking of the Bread. Luke 24:13–35 Almighty God, who through your only-begotten Son Jesus Christ overcame death and opened to us the gate of everlasting life: Grant that we, who celebrate with joy the day of the Lord’s resurrection, may, by your life-giving Spirit, be delivered from sin and raised from death; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Holy Week for Conflicted People - Palm Sunday - Fr. Michael Flowers 04.13.25

Mon, 14 Apr 2025 12:01:12 -0500

Palm Sunday reflects on the fickleness of our human condition. So quickly, blessing and cursing come out of our mouths (James 3:10). The crowds' response, once praising Jesus with royal palms and messianic acclamations, suddenly turned to curses: "Crucify Him." The public humiliation of Jesus was too much to swallow. This cannot be the expected one, humble and non-violent. Certainly, his throne is not a crucifix? Such is the human condition that Jesus came to heal and restore. The image and likeness of the Father is on display throughout this week. Walk with Jesus to his Cross, burial, and resurrection, a bodily resurrection from the dead.

Isaiah 43:16–21 Psalm 126 Philippians 3:7–16 Luke 20:9–19 Almighty God, you alone can bring into order the unruly wills and affections of sinners: Grant your people grace to love what you command and desire what you promise; that, among the swift and varied changes of this world, our hearts may surely there be fixed where true joys are to be found; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

The Prodigal God - Fr. Michael Flowers 03.23.25

Luke 15:1-3; 11-32 The Outrageous, Extravagant Love of the Father Now the tax collectors and sinners were all drawing near to hear him. 2 And the Pharisees and the scribes grumbled, saying, “This man receives sinners and eats with them.” 11 And he said, “There was a man who had two sons. 12 And the younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the share of property (OUSIA) that is coming to me.’ And he divided his property (BIOS… v.30) between them. 13 Not many days later, the younger son gathered all he had and took a journey into a far country, and there he squandered his property (OUSIA) in reckless living. 14 And when he had spent everything, a severe famine arose in that country, and he began to be in need. 15 So he went and hired himself out to[b] one of the citizens of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed pigs. 16 And he was longing to be fed with the pods that the pigs ate, and no one gave him anything. 17 “But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many of my father's hired servants have more than enough bread, but I perish here with hunger! 18 I will arise and go to my father, and I will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. 19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Treat me as one of your hired servants.”’ 20 And he arose and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him. 21 And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ 22 But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring quickly the best robe (PROTOS – first robe), and put it on him, and put a ring (authority - exousia) on his hand, and shoes on his feet (sonship). 23 And bring the fattened calf and kill it (sacrifice – relationships), and let us eat and celebrate. 24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.’ And they began to celebrate. 25 “Now his older son was in the field, and as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing. 26 And he called one of the servants and asked what these things meant. 27 And he said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has received him back safe and sound.’ 28 But he was angry and refused to go in. His father came out and entreated him, 29 but he answered his father, ‘Look, these many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed your command, yet you never gave me a young goat, that I might celebrate with my friends. 30 But when this son of yours came, who has devoured your property (bios – stuff verses ousia) with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him!’ 31 And he said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours. 32 It was fitting to celebrate and be glad, for this your brother was dead, and is alive; he was lost, and is found.’”

The Wonderful Exchange by Gregory the Theologian - Fr. Michael Flowers 12.29.24

Sat, 28 Dec 2024 18:00:00 -0600

The Wonderful Exchange The very Son of God, older than the ages, the invisible, the incomprehensible, the incorporeal, the beginning of beginning, the light of light, the fountain of life and immortality, the image of the archetype, the immovable seal, the perfect likeness, the definition and word of the Father: he it is who comes to his own image and takes our nature for the good of our nature, and unites himself to an intelligent soul for the good of my soul, to purify like by like. He takes to himself all that is human, except for sin. He was conceived by the Virgin Mary, who had been first prepared in soul and body by the Spirit; his coming to birth had to be treated with honour, virginity had to receive new honour. He comes forth as God, in the human nature he has taken, one being, made of two contrary elements, flesh and spirit. Spirit gave divinity, flesh received it. He who enriches others became poor. He took to himself the poverty of my flesh so that I might obtain the riches of his godhead. He who is full empties himself. He emptied himself of his godhead for a brief time so that I might share in his fullness. What is this wealth of goodness? What is this mystery that touches me? I received the divine image and I did not keep it. He receives my flesh to save the image and grant immortality to the flesh. This, his second communion with us, is far more marvelous than the first. It was necessary that holiness be conferred on man through the humanity God took to himself. In this way, conquering the tyrant by force, he freed us and led us back to himself through his Son, the mediator. The Son brought this about to the honor of the Father to whom, is all things he is seen to defer. The good Shepherd, who lays down his life for his sheep, set out after the strayed sheep, on the mountain and hills on which you used to sacrifice. When he found the stray sheep he carried it on those same shoulders that bore the wood of the cross, and brought it back with him to the life above. The brightest of all lights follows the lamp that goes before him. The Word follows the voice in the wilderness. The bridegroom follows the friend of the bridegroom who is making ready for God a special people, cleansing them with water in anticipation of the Spirit. We needed an incarnate God who would die, that we might live. We died with him in baptism, that we might be cleansed. We rose with him because we died with him. We were glorified with him because we rose with him. Gregory of Nazianzus (329-390)
