At St. Peter Orthodox Church, you will find a people committed to our Lord and to one another. Everything we do in our Parish is to either encourage us toward maturity in our Christian life or to be a means by which we can encounter the reality and grace of God toward the healing of our soul.
Today is the Feast of Our Lord Jesus Christ the King. This year we reflect on the Kingship of Jesus Christ being revealed through paradox. Our Lord and Savior, our King, is enthroned eternally because He lowered Himself even unto death on the Cross. Through His self-offering love and humility He was exalted to the highest place. His life forged a path for us to follow. You might say that the life of every child of God in His Kingdom is a life of paradox; for just as with the King, the way up, the way to ascend, is to lower ourselves and let Christ reign as King in our lives.

The Gospel of Peace, the Shalom of God
When the 70 were sent by Christ into the nearby villages, they were told to speak "Peace to this house." This word peace is rooted in the Hebrew word shalom. In this word is wholeness, well-being, soundness of mind, flourishing of the soul, and peace with God and our own conscience. The peace of Christ is experienced within us as Christ mends our soul and is also the very by-product of the healing work of Christ in our lives. God became incarnate to bring us this peace, and has made us vessels to deliver His peace to the world.

The Mother of God: Receiving Christ in Faith and Bearing Him into the World
On the Feast of the Motherhood of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we celebrate not only the dignity of motherhood but also the profound mystery of the Incarnation: that the eternal Son of God humbled Himself to become the Son of Mary. Defended by the Council of Ephesus in 431, the title Theotokos, or Mother of God, safeguards the truth that Jesus Christ is both fully God and fully man. Through Our Lady’s motherhood, God sanctified the seemingly ordinary sacrifices of family life and revealed a greatness that the modern world so often overlooks. Yet St. Mary’s greatest glory lies not merely in bearing Christ in her womb, but in first receiving Him through faith and humble obedience. Her example calls every Christian, regardless of vocation or station in life, to make room for Christ, nurture His presence within the soul, and bring Him into the world through lives of charity, sacrifice, and faithful obedience. To truly honor the Mother of God is to imitate her devotion to her Son and heed her enduring instruction: “Whatever he says to you, do it.” (John 2:5)
