About This Website

Cross
"Go into all the world and proclaim the good news to the whole creation.” (Mark 15:16)

ByzCath.org was launched in October 1996 to provide information about the Byzantine Catholic Church in America. Now, in its eleventh year, byzcath.org is expanding to provide information about all the Eastern Christian Churches with more information about the Faith (including downloadable resources), "News of the Christian East" and upgraded messageboards.

ByzCath.org is an unofficial site. We strive to provide an accurate presentation of Church Teachings. If you believe we have failed in this task please let us know.

As this site expands we hope to contribute to the “New Evangelization” of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.


About the site design:

This site is designed for screens with a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels or higher. Users with older screens (800 x 600 pixels) will find that some of the screen layouts are not ideal. Since it is impossible for us to design the site so that it looks the same on every type of monitor and with every type of browser we have designed it to be viewed on the screens that are most popular. If you have problems with this website please let us know so that we can investigate and, if possible, correct the problem.

Behold! The Wood of the Cross!

Save Your people, O Lord, and bless Your inheritance. Grant victory to Your Church over her enemies, and protect Your people by Your Cross.


Troparion of the Cross

Wisdom from the Church Fathers

Wrath is a reminder of hidden hatred, that is to say, remembrance of wrongs. Wrath is a desire for the injury of the one who has provoked you. Irascibility is the untimely blazing up of the heart. Bitterness is a movement of displeasure seated in the soul. Anger is an easily changeable movement of one’s disposition and disfiguration of soul.

St. John Climacus, “The Ladder of Divine Ascent"
