An Egyptian court has recently issued a controversial ruling regarding the famous St. Catherine Monastery in the Sinai, the oldest Christian monastery in continuous use since the 4th century. The ruling declared the entire area Egyptian public property and implied that it could evict the monks and turn it into a museum. Archaeologist Avner Goren who was the chief archaeologist for Israel in the Sinai for 15 years and very familiar with St. Catherine, said the situation was unprecedented in its long, long history. He told reporter Arieh O’Sullivan that the situation was still under negotiation and time will tell if it will change. (photo: Yossi Zamir/flash90)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Patrick opens the hour by responding to a listener’s struggle with isolation while growing closer to Jesus, drawing parallels to St. Paul’s hardships and the promise of deeper spiritual bonds. He fields questions about Christian relics, considers the spiritual growth possible in suffering through flawed government, addresses the frustrations of Social Security, and gently advises callers on topics like wearing the rosary while on duty as a police officer or breaking the habit of speaking harshly to a parent. Lauren (email) – Do people choose not to follow Jesus because it can lead to a life of isolation?(00:39) Sean - Remind Patrick that Codex Sinaiticus was found at the St. Catherine’s Monastery at Mount Sinai (06:05) Alex - In response to affordable housing, isn’t it sometimes good to undergo suffering? (11:54) Jean – What about someone who pays into Social Security but dies before they collect anything (22:06) Patty – I’m a patrol sergeant and I wear the rosary around the neck. Is that disrespectful? (25:33) Bill - How do we discern between real videos of the pope and something that might be AI? (28:43) Beth - Response to an earlier email from Lauren about faith and isolation: the more we get involved in our parish, the more we feel connected. (35:20) Elena - Are there sins that God won’t forgive? (38:00) Jose - I live with my mom and help her. Is it right for me to leave? (44:58)

He was born in Constantinople around 758, of pious parents: his father had been exiled under Constantine Copronymus for his steadfast veneration of the holy icons. Nikephoros served in the imperial palace as a secretary, but later renounced worldly success to struggle in monastic life near Constantinople. He built and administered a monastery which soon became filled with monks; but he himself never took the monastic habit, feeling himself unworthy. Though a layman, he took part in the Seventh Ecumenical Council at the request of the Emperor and Patriarch because of his remarkable knowledge of Holy Scripture. Much against his will, he was made Patriarch of Constantinople at the death of Patriarch Tarasios. He was made a monk, then elevated through all the priestly orders in a few days, then enthroned at St Sophia in 806. A few years later, the Emperor Leo the Armenian took the throne. Patriarch Nikephoros, as was customary, sent him a Confession of the Orthodox Faith to sign. Leo put off signing the document until his coronation, then revealed himself to be an Iconoclast heretic. The Patriarch tried quietly to bring him back to the Orthodox faith, but to no avail. When the Emperor, in his turn, tried to make the holy Nikephoros bow to iconoclasm, the Patriarch clearly and publicly upheld the veneration of the holy Icons. For this he was deposed and driven into exile at the Monastery of St Theodore, which he himself had founded. Here he reposed, having served for nine years as Patriarch, and thirteen years in exile and privation.
A recent court ruling in Egypt has sounded alarm bells in Athens and around the world as it seems to put the status of St. Catherine's monastery in Sinai, a UNESCO world heritage site, at risk. This has prompted reactions at the highest levels, with Prime Minister Mitsotakis speaking with his Egyptian counterpart and emphasizing the importance of safeguarding the monastery's status as a Greek Orthodox place of pilgrimage. Dr. Elizabeth Prodromou joins Thanos Davelis as we break down what's at stake for St. Catherine's monastery and why it matters as we look at the broader state of international religious freedom in the region.Dr. Prodromou is a former Vice Chair and Commissioner on the US Commission on International Religious Freedom, visiting professor in the International Studies Program at Boston College, and was a member of the US Secretary of State's Religion & Foreign Policy Working Group.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Sisi reaffirms Egypt's commitment to status of Sinai monastery in call with MitsotakisHistoric Sinai settlement never signedA bolt out of the blue on Mt SinaiTurkish authorities order detention of dozens of opposition officials in widening crackdownTurkey arrests dozens including opposition party membersGas to flow from Greece to Slovakia, Ukraine

L'esforç dels monjos i la seva fe es percep en cada pedra", va dir Júlia, captivant els turistes amb la seva veu segura.En: "Look at the monastery! The monks' labor and their faith can be felt in every stone," said Júlia, captivating the tourists with her confident voice.Ca: Pere va afegir amb entusiasme: "I sabeu? Diuen les llegendes que aquestes muntanyes... són guardians dels nostres secrets!"En: Pere added enthusiastically, "And you know? The legends say that these mountains... are guardians of our secrets!"Ca: De sobte, un tro a la distància.En: Suddenly, thunder in the distance.Ca: Júlia va mirar Rosa, coneixent el significat d'aquell soroll.En: Júlia looked at Rosa, understanding the meaning of that sound.Ca: Rosa, prudent com sempre, va sugerir: "Potser hauríem de tornar... El camí pot esdevenir perillós."En: Rosa, cautious as always, suggested, "Perhaps we should go back... The path could become dangerous."Ca: Però Júlia no volia que la tempesta desviés els seus plans meravellosos.En: But Júlia didn't want the storm to derail her wonderful plans.Ca: Va mirar Pere, esperant suport.En: She looked at Pere, hoping for support.Ca: "No passarà res, companyes", va dir Pere amb confiança.En: "Nothing will happen, companions," said Pere with confidence.Ca: "Un canvi de plans pot fer la visita més divertida!"En: "A change of plans can make the visit more fun!"Ca: Rosa dubtava, però Júlia va saber que hi havia una manera de posar d'acord a tothom.En: Rosa hesitated, but Júlia knew there was a way to get everyone on the same page.Ca: Va proposar una nova ruta, buscant seguretat i sorpresa.En: She proposed a new route, seeking safety and surprise.Ca: "Hi ha una part del monestir, una ala menys coneguda... Un moment perfecte per explorar-la!"En: "There's a part of the monastery, a lesser-known wing... A perfect time to explore it!"Ca: Rosa, tot i que preocupada, va acconsentir després d'una pausa breu.En: Rosa, though concerned, agreed after a brief pause.Ca: Així, el grup es va moure per camins més protegits, sota la guia experta de Júlia.En: Thus, the group moved through more sheltered paths, under Júlia's expert guidance.Ca: El cel es va enfosquir però, paradoxalment, a l'interior del monestir, llums càlides jugaven amb les ombres de les antigues columnes.En: The sky darkened but, paradoxically, inside the monastery, warm lights played with the shadows of the ancient columns.Ca: Els turistes, per uns instants, oblidaren la pluja que picava les finestres.En: The tourists, for a few moments, forgot the rain tapping on the windows.Ca: Van descobrir frescos amagats i racons resistents al pas del temps.En: They discovered hidden frescoes and corners resilient to the passage of time.Ca: Les històries de Júlia van adquirir vida, i el compte de Pere sobre aquell lloc secret emocionava els ànims.En: Júlia's stories came to life, and Pere's account of that secret place stirred the spirits.Ca: Finalment, en un temps que semblava volar, la tempesta va amainar i els turistes eren extasiats.En: Finally, in a time that seemed to fly, the storm subsided and the tourists were ecstatic.Ca: El guia del grup els va agrair amb sinceritat.En: The group's guide thanked them sincerely.Ca: Una experiència única, havien dit.En: It was a unique experience, they had said.Ca: Júlia va veure el somriure d'aprovació d'un supervivent de la jornada: el seu cap, que l'havia observat discretament.En: Júlia saw the approving smile of a survivor of the day: her boss, who had observed her discreetly.Ca: Era el reconeixement que esperava, una promoció guanyada per l'enginy i el treball en equip.En: It was the recognition she had been waiting for, a promotion earned through ingenuity and teamwork.Ca: Un cop la tempesta va deixar pas a una tarda tranquil·la i clara, Júlia, Rosa i Pere van comprendre com cada un tenia un paper crucial en la jornada.En: Once the storm gave way to a calm and clear afternoon, Júlia, Rosa, and Pere understood how each had a crucial role in the day.Ca: Van decidir celebrar-ho al voltant d'una taula, compartint històries i riures, un record que guardaria per sempre a l'indret màgic de Montserrat.En: They decided to celebrate around a table, sharing stories and laughter, a memory they would cherish forever in the magical place of Montserrat.

In this episode Al Fadi and Dr Jay recap the first eleven claims; in conclusion : every reference to Mohammad in these claims place him in the wrong place and probably refer to other Muhammads = " the praised ones ". Then they discuss claim #12 The Ashtiname Letter, which was supposed to be written by Mohammad or Ali to the monks of St Catherine's Monastery, promising protection and other privileges. This turned out to be a fraud written by the monks of the monastery to protect themselves from the Marauding Muslims all around them.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This lecture is entitled The One Thing Necessary: Monasticism and Philosophy. It was presented by Prior Peter Funk, OSB of the Monastery of the Holy Cross, Chicago on October 4, 2023, at the Ruth Lake Country Club.
The Holy Cross Abbey in Cañon City was originally a working monastery and boarding school. Built in 1925, the property sits on 180 acres and was once home to more than 90 monks and 250 students. As the school closed, the monks looked to repurpose the gorgeous property.

He was a disciple of St Theodosius of the Kiev Caves (commemorated May 3), and became abbot of the Monastery of the Caves. After many years of faithful service he fell victim to the intrigues of a monk against him, lost his abbacy and was even driven from the monastery. In God's time the holy monk was vindicated and made Bishop of Vladimir. There he guided the Church for many years, reposing peacefully in old age in 1094.

Please Note: Spotify deletes many of our Buddhist Chanting podcasts, claiming that they are 'Music', and that pure music tracks may not be uploaded to Spotify Podcasts. Personally, I disagree that our chanting constitutes 'Music', but there's not much point trying to argue with a bot. Therefore, I have included a spoken introduction, to make it not exclusively 'music'. Similarly, after the paritta, I have added Luang Por Liem's advice to us while writing a short dedication on a copper sheet to enshrine in our stupa. Hope this helps that Spoti will not delete this episode. The Sima Estalishment Ceremony at Bodhisaddha Monastery, Sydney, was the largest congregation of Bhikkhus in the Theravada tradtion in Australia ever. 40 of the monks had more than 40 rains retreats (years as monks). All 80+ together had spent more than 2,500 years in the robes. You can hear the sonorous, full sound of this large sangha chanting clearly on the recording. Luang Por Liem, the abbot of Wat Nong Pah Pong (Ajahn Chah's monastery) and leading monk of the whole lineage of Ajahn Chah, was the presiding senior monk at the Paritta Chanting Ajahn Varadhammo, abbot of Bodhisaddha Monastery, was the host of the whole event, supporter by his own teacher, Luang Por Anan, the abbot of Wat Marp Jan and one of the most highly respected meditation masters in Thailand.Dhammagiri WebsiteOur Spotify PlaylistsNewsletterDhammagiri Youtube Channel#palichanting #paritta #buddhistchanting #palirecitation #ajahnchah

Together with this, that which took place at this hour, as witnessed to in the Book of Acts, is also recalled - the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles. In accordance with this, corresponding psalms are selected. In ancient Horologia, beginning with the well known Horologion of the Sinai library from the eighth century, troparia were indicated together with the psalms we have today.

In accordance with this, corresponding psalms are selected. In them prayer is offered up unto the Lord with hope in His aid, and the betrayal of Judas, the hatred of the Jews who sought the death of the Lord, and the sufferings of the Savior, both spiritual and bodily, are prophetically depicted; the darkness which covered the earth from the sixth until the ninth hour is depicted; then the gladness of men who turn to God for help is portrayed. In ancient handwritten Horologia the psalms of the Sixth Hour are the same as they are today. At the reading of the Hours, it is customary to read the Troparion and Kontakion hymns of the feast (if applicable) or of the saint of the day.

In accordance with this, corresponding psalms are selected. In them the dwellings of the Lord of hosts and a burning desire to enter into them are depicted; the prophecy of the Lord's redemption of men is expounded; and the Lord's descent into Hades is portrayed. The history of the origins of the Ninth hour is the same as that of the First, Third, and Sixth Hours; it is ascribed to the third century and the years that followed, which may also be observed in surviving literary monuments. At the reading of the Hours it is customary to read the Troparion and Kontakion hymns of the feast (if applicable) or of the saint of the day.

Perpend (David), who I started the podcast with, became an Orthodox monk and is now a Novice Monk at the Monastery of St. John in CA.As he was travelling from monastery to monastery throughout America, he occasionally was back in Kansas (the last time in September 2023). He would greet me, and others, with a greeting that he likely learned in his travels: Instead of saying, "Hi, how are you?", he would say, "How goes the struggle?"Instead of giving the usual response of "I am fine", you would think about it for a moment. This led to a more real and heartfelt conversation.In Orthodox Christianity there is a prayer: "Help the Orthodox Christians to struggle".Not "Help us get through the struggle". Not "Help us not to struggle".If you are saying to yourself, "That's un-American!", then you have lost touch with your history and tradition.I could go on for paragraphs here about how we have lost this touchstone of our human existence.We knew this just 100 years ago. The janitor knew that he was janitor and measured where he was in the world. He would hope and prepare his children to have a life better than his, but he knew where he was. In modern days, through credit the janitor thinks he can drive that fancy car.We watch TV or a movie and cheer when the hero goes through trials and comes out the victor at the end. We respond to these because these Hero's Journey stories are in our DNA.But now we watch the Hero's Journey story and do not want to experience trials and struggles ourselves.People watch TV and movies with the Hero's Journey and then grumble, complain, and take meds when they are called to the Hero's Journey.We need to struggle. We need the Hero's Journey.It all comes down to your mindset.Also - How is Great Lent going?Show notes for this episode: Ep. 157 - How Goes the Struggle?Grow Nut Trees is now taking orders for Spring shipping or local pickup.Grow Nut Trees.comNEW for this year are more types of chestnuts, including Qing Chinese hybrid chestnut seedlings.

He took up the monastic life when very young, and lived as a recluse for many years, and gained the grace to heal sicknesses and drive out demons by his prayers. Later he became abbot of the Monastery of Pelekete in Bithynia. During the reign of the Emperor Leo the Isaurian, he and his monastery steadfastly upheld the holy icons, and were fiercely persecuted. Hilarion and his forty monks were exiled to a prison near Ephesus, where the Saint reposed.
Since publishing his debut essay collection—Video Night in Kathmandu, featuring far-flung reportage from 10 Asian countries—in 1988, the prolific travel writer Pico Iyer has gone on to write more than a dozen books exploring themes ranging from displacement and identity to globalization and technology, as well as contribute to publications such as The New York Times, Time, and Condé Nast Traveler. Over the years, Iyer's travels have taken him to some of the world's most remote destinations—North Korea, Bhutan, and Iceland, to name a few—but it's his hundred-plus visits to a Benedictine hermitage in Big Sur, California, that form the heart of his latest book, Aflame: Learning From Silence. Connecting with his inner stillness during these various sojourns in solitude has left him wholly transformed, opening him up to discover the thrumming, ineffable joy of being truly awake to the world and wonderfully alive. On this episode of Time Sensitive, Iyer explores the purpose and joy of travel, and shares deeply moving reflections about what he finds most essential in life.Special thanks to our Season 11 presenting sponsor, L'École, School of Jewelry Arts.Show notes:Pico Iyer[4:25] “Aflame”[4:25] “Autumn Light”[4:25] Philip Larkin[4:25] “The Art of Poetry No. 30”[7:18] Bashō[7:18] Leonard Cohen[10:21] New Camaldoli Hermitage[10:21] Post Ranch Inn [16:25] “Postmodern Tourism: A Conversation with Pico Iyer”[17:08] “The Eloquent Sounds of Silence”[21:48] “The Joy of Quiet”[31:42] “What Ping-Pong Taught Me About Life”[33:14] “Walden”[37:28] “The Open Road”[41:37] “Video Night in Kathmandu”[41:37] “The Lady and the Monk”[41:37] “Lonely Places”[41:37] The Global Soul[44:40] “In the Realm of Jet Lag”[52:35] “Culture: The Leading Hotels of the World”[55:17] Potala Palace[55:17] Naoshima, Japan[55:17] Teshima, Japan[55:17] Narita, Japan[01:00:43] “The Half Known Life”[01:10:10] “No Time”

What happens when we step into silence? Author Pico Iyer joins Amy Julia Becker to discuss his book Aflame: Learning from Silence. He reflects on his time spent in monasteries and how he grounds the ethereal idea of silence in the very earthy realities of everyday life—filled with deadlines, relationships, and the unexpected, like the wildfire that consumed his home in southern California.
