Orthodox blessing outline

5 July 2010 · by  Fr. Ernesto 2 Comments

OK, it has been a long day and a good celebration of July 4. I am tired, so let me put up a short lesson from Pithless Thoughts. Above you can see how an Orthodox priest’s hand is positioned when he makes the sign of the cross and why he holds his hand in that […]

On naming babies

Cheap Tramadol 4 July 2010 · by  Fr. Ernesto 4 Comments

The Orthodox are supposed to name their child after a saint or a godly concept (Sophia, Agapos, etc.). That saint can be an Old Testament or a New Testament saint. Obviously a New Testament saint means anyone in Church history from any culture. It may include reasonable derivations of the saint’s name into another language. […]

Christian kitsch and false spirituality

3 July 2010 · by  Fr. Ernesto 7 Comments

One of the saddest things that happened to much of Christianity in the USA has been the way in which spirituality has been replaced by the purchasing of Christian kitsch. We buy our thin volumes which promise us easy ways to become spiritual and easy ways to witness to others. We purchase our cheap “Jesus […]

Brazil lost!!

2 July 2010 · by  Fr. Orthoduck 1 Comment

In one of the more startling results of an already startling World Cup, Brazil was defeated by the Netherlands 2-1. Father Orthoduck was not a fan of Brazil, so he is not too unhappy with this result, but he is startled. Sadly, Ghana lost. Father Orthoduck knows absolutely nothing about the Ghanian team, but he […]

Brewer, higher and deeper

2 July 2010 · by  Fr. Ernesto Leave a Comment

Governor Brewer of Arizona keeps being defended as a person who is willing to be forthright, speak the truth, defend her state, and in no way be biased or use stereotypes. But, as I have pointed out before, Latinos are worried about what she (and others) say because we see them as not only re-building […]

When political philosophy causes a conflict

1 July 2010 · by  Fr. Orthoduck 7 Comments

Everyone’s tendency is to oversimplify issues that are complex. The oversimplification allows us to make quick decisions. In fact, oversimplification is actually a good thing, according to many biologists. And, Father Orthoduck actually agrees with them. In the case of danger, it is a good thing that human beings are able to take a glance […]

On a visit to a Veteran’s Administration clinic

30 June 2010 · by  Fr. Ernesto 1 Comment

Yesterday I went to visit a Veterans Administration clinic in Orlando. As many of you know, I am a veteran, my grandfather-in-law was a lifer, and our youngest daughter is serving as an officer in Iraq right now. Yep, service is part of our family. But, I digress. I went into the laboratory waiting room […]

A possible solution to the illegal crossing problem

29 June 2010 · by  Fr. Ernesto 2 Comments

Well, I must admit to typing this tongue in cheek, but wondering whether it would work. In the area of Florida I live in, the unemployment rate is higher than the national average. Companies are laying off or have hiring freezes. Many have said that the economic and political crises of many Latin American countries […]

Father Sampson the Hospitable (or the Hospitalier)

29 June 2010 · by  Fr. Ernesto Leave a Comment

Yesterday’s saint was one that I particularly liked. Father Sampson the Hospitable is the type of saint that I wish more of us would emulate, at least in part. Why do I say in part? Because he was also a priest and celibate. I am a priest and married. Not all of us are called […]

Arizona, Gov. Brewer, and stereotypes

27 June 2010 · by  Fr. Ernesto 2 Comments

Here is the latest news out of Arizona, courtesy of every one of the major news services. I am quoting parts of the story as reported by the Associated Press: PHOENIX — Gov. Jan Brewer said Friday that most illegal immigrants entering Arizona are being used to transport drugs across the border, an assertion that […]
