Today we celebrate the Dormition of the Theotokos. the Christ came to get His Mama. Does the audio sound familiar? The Theotokos has lamentations too that sound like the Holy Friday service!

“Refusing to harden your heart is a radical act.”

“And who is my neighbor?”

With this Sunday’s story in the Gospel of Luke (which we often call The Good Samaritan), I am thinking again gratefully of the work of @artofmarza.bsky.social , whose art keeps reminding me of Jesus’ call to care for all.

Morbidity has been on my mind a lot spending over a month coming to the ICU. My dad shares a birthday with St. John and I was drawing this by his bedside.

Speak truth to power. Even if it kills you.

I have always been fascinated by the beheading of Saint John the Baptist, and Saint John in general. Similar to Christ’s face imprinted on the towel, there is something surreal about icons that feature only a head.

Saint Panteleimon on the night shift.

I drew this at my dad’s bedside. This modern rendition of one of my favorite saints is dedicated to the nurses and doctors working hard to make my dad better. Inspired by seeing nurses & doctors taking breaks by the window in the ICU hallway.

Love these pieces by @artofmarza.bsky.social.

A screenshot of an Instagram post by artofmarza. It shows a stylized line drawing of St John Chrysostom and the quote, "He left the earth free to all alike. Why the, if it is common, do you have so many acres of land while your neighbor has no portion of it?" Below that it says, "Housing is a human right" and has a small cross.

Saint Olympia the Deaconess

She was a dear friend and student of Saint John Chrysostom. Saint John wrote to her during his exile to encourage her as she was persecuted by the Church and falsely accused of crimes.

Remember the end of “A Bug’s Life”?

When the ants realized that all together they were stronger than one big grasshopper bully?

And so there was no reason for them to let the bully order them around?

And that the bully *knew this all along* and his whole operation was to keep them from seeing it?

We tend to see doubt as the opposite of faith, but I think doubt is a part of faith.

I meant to make this for Thomas Sunday, but there’s no time like the present to be reminded that even those closest to Christ had doubts. So let’s go a little easy on ourselves and take a breath.

Ever wonder why we dye eggs red for Pascha? The red symbolizes Christ’s blood shed for us. There are a few traditions about the pascha eggs involving Mary Magdalene. The one I grew up with was that Mary Magdalene put a basket of eggs at the foot of the cross and Christ’s blood flowed onto the eggs.
