You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery;'                but I tell you that everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.                If your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna.                If your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off, and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna.                'It was also said, 'Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorce,'                but I tell you that whoever puts away his wife, except for the cause of sexual immorality, makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries her when she is put away commits adultery.                'Again you have heard that it was said to them of old time, 'You shall not make false vows, but shall perform to the Lord your vows,'                but I tell you, don't swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God;                nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.                Neither shall you swear by your head, for you can't make one hair white or black.                But let your 'Yes' be 'Yes' and your 'No' be 'No.' Whatever is more than these is of the evil one.                'You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.'*                But I tell you, don't resist him who is evil; but whoever strikes you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.                If anyone sues you to take away your coat, let him have your cloak also.                Whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.                Give to him who asks you, and don't turn away him who desires to borrow from you.                'You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor,* and hate your enemy.*'                But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you,                that you may be children of your Father who is in heaven.

Love One Another!



I am grateful to God and my brothers and sisters for the priceless gift — the icon of the Virgin Mother, Sara’s Fragrance–and your prayers. I hereby testify that the Most Holy Mother of God is helping me a great deal. I recently had a serious operation as a result of which my whole left side was severely lacerated. The blood vessels were so badly damaged that I had no circulation in my arms and legs. Following your advice, I began to hold the little icon to my breast. Soon I felt an extraordinary warmth spreading over my whole body. At such moments I always recite the Our Father and Hail Mary… I pray for you both at home and at church. May God save you!

I greet you, my dear ones! I received your letter and picture of the Virgin Mother and her Child Jesus. You cannot imagine what joy I felt upon reading the letter with the prayers to the Mother of God and St. Charbel, the wonder-worker from Lebanon. Truly, Our Heavenly Queen makes no distinction between Catholics, Orthodox, or Baptists. They are all holy people, bathed in the blood of Christ! I cannot describe the state I was in that day. I wept on account of the sins of which I became aware, but I also wept with tears of joy; for, our human soul was created in the image and likeness of God; it is immortal and thirsts for its Creator. Now I tell everyone that we must take care to rise from the dead — not for judgment and condemnation, but for eternal life and happiness. Every person must decide this for himself. Christ has done the most important thing. He has opened the gates of the Heavenly Kingdom and stands at these gates, calling to each of us by name.

Dear Father Alexander,

I received your letter and photo of the Virgin Mother — Sara’s Fragrance. Many thanks! I wish to inform you that recently my mother was in hospital with diabetes. She suffered from a badly inflamed toe, and the doctors decided to amputate part of her foot. I immediately brought the little icon to the hospital, where we prayed together. After a while her toe began to heal. The doctors shrugged their shoulders in amazement. Mother is now back home. She prays constantly, clutching the holy image to her breast. Together we offer up prayers for her healing and salvation. I am very grateful to you for the letter that gave us so much hope!
