Next Step #385: Alpha Centauri never seemed so distant. Mind Boggling distances and numbers. Einstein and religiosity. Millennials today: Always being ON: Forget about the Youth “being the future” – yesterday was McFly’s day in the future – 10/21/2015 and the Future of the Church transcends time! Good News: the Equal Opportunity expression of Christ. Fr. Vazken connects the dots between them all.

The Miuron (Chrism) Dare

/0 Comments/in

Next Step #380: After the GOP debate, there’s no dare to consecrate Holy Miuron. Fr. Vazken goes through the mechanics and rich symbolism of blessing the Holy Miuron – done once every 7 years in Holy Etchmiadzin – flowers, spices and oils – the binding power of the Holy Spirit. And a special Armodox addition – the alabaster box held by St. Bartholomew.
