"For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost." (Lk. 19:10)

We are an English-language parish under the Diocese of Chicago and Mid-America

On the Church

WHAT is the Orthodox Church? The Orthodox Church is a body or community of people, who, 1—correctly believe in divine revelation; and 2—who obey a lawful hierarchy instituted by our Lord Jesus Christ himself, through the holy apostles. In order to belong to the Orthodox Church two principal conditions are required: First—to accurately accept, rightly understand and truthfully confess the divine teaching of faith; and secondly— to acknowledge the lawful hierarchy or priesthood, to receive from it the holy mysteries or sacraments, and generally to follow its precepts in matters concerning salvation.


St. Sebastian Dabovich
On Resisting the Devil

Refuse to listen to the devil when he whispers to you: give me now, and you will give tomorrow to God. No, no! Spend all the hours of your life in a way pleasing to God; keep in your mind the thought that after the present hour you will not be given another and that you will have to render a strict account for every minute of this present hour.


St. Nicodemus and St. Theophan
On Prayer

The best prayer is: “Lord! Thou knowest all things. Do with me as Thou willest!”


St. Theophan the Recluse
On Humility

“Do not allow the spark of discord and enmity to smolder. The longer you wait, the more the enemy tries to cause confusion among you. Be watchful, so that he does not mock you. Humility destroys all of his schemes.”


St. Marcarius of Optina
