In a world of ever-increasing confusion and blurred boundaries, we at St. Paul seek to be grounded, as the (Orthodox Christian) Church has been since Pentecost over 2,000 years, in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, our Savior – Who is the TRUTH. Inspired by the word of God, hear the message from Father Paul Girgis as he responds to Christ’s call to repent and be transformed, healed of our brokenness, by His grace.

LUKE 18:35-43
At that time, as Jesus drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging; and hearing a multitude going by, he inquired what this meant. They told him, “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.” And he cried, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” And those who were in front rebuked him, telling him to be silent; but he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” And Jesus stopped, and commanded him to be brought to him; and when he came near, he asked him, “What do you want me to do for you?” He said, “Lord, let me receive my sight.” And Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight; your faith has made you well.” And immediately he received his sight and followed him, glorifying God; and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.
