Ascencia honors In His Shoes as “Chef of the Year”: Inspiring to move from victim to victor. And much more.

Principal Principles

Next Step #568: Sri Lanka Easter massacre and the concept of a “holy and mighty” God. Reflections on a principal with principles: Gabriel Injejikian (1930-2019). Einstein’s theory of insanity explained in scientific terms. April 24 explained in terms of physics, Easter explained by experience.

Where’d everyone go?

Next Step #512: A mid-Holy Week tally of who’s who and what’s what. What happened to the thousands of friends who ushered Jesus into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday and left him alone for his death only four days later? Don’t wait for Easter to be April fooled! Singling out Pilate – no Judas here – in a second-creed puts Easter in the history book and out of the connection book. Heading out to Utah to celebrate Easter and the Holy Divine Liturgy, Fr. Vazken shares a very special resurrection message.
