"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.

Wisdom from the Church Fathers
| For to despise the present age, not to love transitory things, unreservedly to stretch out the mind in humility to God and our neighbor, to preserve patience against offered insults and, with patience guarded, to repel the pain of malice from the heart, to give one's property to the poor, not to covet that of others, to esteem the friend in God, on God's account to love even those who are hostile, to mourn at the affliction of a neighbor, not to exult in the death of one who is an enemy, this is the new creature whom the Master of the nations seeks with watchful eye amid the other disciples, saying:"If, then, any be in Christ a new creature, the old things are passed away. Behold all things are made new" (2 Cor. 5:17). St. Gregory the Great |
