Even if we have thousands of acts of great virtue to our credit, our confidence in being heard must be based on God's mercy and His love for men. Even if we stand at the very summit of virtue, it is by mercy that we shall be saved.

St. John Chrysostom 


It is necessary most of all for one who is fasting to curb anger, to accustom himself to meekness and condescension, to have a contrite heart, to repulse impure thoughts and desires, to examine his conscience, to put his mind to the test and to verify what good has been done by us in this or any other week, and which deficiency we have corrected in ourselves in the present week. This is true fasting.

St. John Chrysostom

Patronal Feast

August 16th

On Thursday, August 16th, Christ the Savior Mission celebrated its patronal feast, honoring our Lord's Image Not-Made-By-Hands. This image is one of the earliest icons witnessed to by Church Tradition and is a reminder for all the faithful that we are called to be conformed to the likeness of Jesus Christ, Who is Himself the revelation of the invisible Father.
