Glory to God for All Things...

In his sermon this past Sunday, Fr. John reminded us that the last words of St. John Chrysostom, after he had been abused and run out of town, and brought in disgrace in the eyes of the world to his early martyr's death were - Glory to God for All Things!

Mira has a great post describing this weekend's Pan-Orthodox Young Adult Retreat. I'm still gathering all my thoughts. I can only say that it was an incredibly beautiful time, rich in friendship and learning and prayer, and I think it was a bright moment for Orthodox unity in Canada: over 60 young people together, from 11 parishes, OCA, Antiochian, and Ukrainian!

It was so good to meet so many new friends, brothers and sisters all.

Glory to Jesus Christ!
