This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. (1 John 1:5) |
The goal of byzcath.org is to share the Good News of Jesus Christ by providing information about His Church on earth, focusing on the Byzantine Catholic Church and the other Churches of the Christian East. If you work in communications for your local Eastern Christian Church (eparchy or diocese, Catholic or Orthodox) please consider contributing your official news and information directly to this website. ByzCath.org is read by thousands of unique individuals each day. We can help you build up the Church in your local community by making your message instantly accessible to anyone who accesses the internet.
If you are interested in contributing you can do so directly (we'll set up an account for you) or indirectly (by e-mailing us the news about your local Church). If you already publish your eparchial / diocesan news on your own official website reposting it on byzcath.org can help drive traffic to your site (since a link back to your site can be added to every news story).
Do you have photos of an event in your local Church? Send them to us! We may feature them in our "We Follow Christ" pictorial showing life in the church

O Savior, save me!
O Master, I have not kept Your Commandments. By my own free choice I yielded to the passions of sensual pleasure. I have stripped myself of grace. I lay wounded and naked. I pray to You, O Savior: save me!

Wisdom from the Church Fathers
Souls that love truth and God, that long with much hope and faith to put on Christ completely, do not need so much to be put in remembrance by others, nor do they endure, even for a while, to be deprived of the heavenly desire and of passionate affection to the Lord; but being wholly and entirely nailed to the cross of Christ, they perceive in themselves day by day a sense of spiritual advance towards the spiritual Bridegroom. St. Macarius the Great |
