THIS WEEK FROM THE ORTHODOX CHRISTIAN NETWORK

COME RECEIVE THE LIGHT - THE NATIONALLY SYNDICATED RADIO PROGRAM OF ORTHODOX CHRISTIANITY
A priest is persecuted decades ago and his family keeps the message alive. Join Fr. Chris and Claire Brandenburgh as they discuss the release of a new CD dedicated to the memory of a modern day saint - Fr. Sergius of Kasimov. Plus, is honesty always the best policy? Prof. Telly Papanikolaou connects our willingness to acknowledge the truth of ourselves with our ability to encounter God.

OCN PODCASTS
On Harmony of Thunder, Fr. David Smith discusses Palm Sunday. It is critical to celebrate Palm Sunday because we identify ourselves with Jesus Christ. How? Tune it and listen. On Special Moments in Orthodoxy, Fr. Christopher Metropulos delivers his Palm Sunday  Sermon “Christopher” How do we become Christ bearers? On Theologically Thinking, enjoy a reading of one of Fr. Stanley Harakas' essays originally written for the National Herald entitled "Oil and Divine Grace". In the New Testament letter of James, we read, "Is any among you sick? Let him call for the presbyters (priests) of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.
