Help us Grow!
Saint Matthew's Orthodox Church in Torrance is growing and needs your help! 

The house next door to the church is set to be going up for sale very soon. The purchase of this property would provide much needed classroom, storage and office space, as well as help us to work toward the purchase of a larger property in the coming years. The following video provides an overview of our need and can easily be share with friends and family:

Today's Scripture Readings
ST. PAUL'S LETTER TO THE GALATIANS 5:22-26; 6:1-2
Brethren, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. Let us have no self-conceit, no provoking of one another, no envy of one another. Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Look to yourself, lest you too be tempted. Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
MATTHEW 11:27-30
The Lord said to his disciples, "All things have been delivered to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and any one to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Today's Thought

When they asked the Venerable St. Zacharias, “Who is a true monk?” he replied: “He who constantly applies himself to the fulfilling of God's commandments.”
