In this special episode of The 153, His Eminence, Metropolitan JOSEPH delivers a homily at St Simeon Mission, Santa Clarita, California on Sunday, February 5, 2017. His Eminence addresses: the meaning of the tonsuring of the Readers and their calling; the spiritual protection of the cassock; the contrast of pride and humility in the story of the Pharisee and Publican; the mothers of three great saints; and of the reception of the Evangelical Orthodox Church thirty years ago.

Is there a prescribed physical place where the liturgy is to be served or not served? Fr. Tom traces the history from the "house church" to the present day.

Before the Divine Liturgy begins, we must be prepared from a practical standpoint. Fr. Tom gives some personal reflections on doing things decently and in order.

Following the Scripture readings and the sermon, there are prayers that are skipped in some churches. These prayers are part of the Litany of Fervent Supplication, and Fr. Thomas feels they are very important.

Fr. Thomas begins a difficult discussion about the beginning of the Liturgy of the Faithful. Who should stay and who should go? This is sure to generate a lot of conversation!

Circumstances can be intoxicating and Fr. Barnabas says that true contentment begins in the heart not with our circumstances.

Jesus uses seemingly harsh language when a father brings an epileptic son to the Lord for healing. But it's only because it's only this kind of language that can break past the selfishness of our own hearts to teach us how to have faith the size of a mustard seed!
