God in His essence is incomprehensible, God dwells "in the light which no man can approach unto; Whom no man hath seen, nor can see," instructs the holy Apostle Paul (1 Timothy 6:16).

In his Catechetical Lectures, Saint Cyril of Jerusalem instructs us: We explain not what God is, but candidly confess that we have not exact knowledge concerning Him. For in what concerns God, to confess our ignorance is the best knowledge" (Sixth Catechetical Lecture).

God revealed to us concerning Himself that He is "a bodiless and invisible spirit" (St. John 4:24).

What does it mean that God has neither a body, nor bones, as we have, and does not have in Himself anything that makes up our visible world, and therefore we cannot see Him?

God is He (we know He is a "He" because Jesus referred to Him as a Father) Who made the world and Who made everything in it visible and invisible. He is our Father in heaven. Of course, one may argue that that is a very limited argument for someone who does not believe. So the question is: How can one at least listen to the arguments that God exists; in our day, perhaps that argument may come from science itself. If it indeed a revolutionary experience to see that in our century, science has resurrected God beyond anybody's expectations. Let us what they have to say:

The First Ecumenical Synod was victorious against the heresy of Arius. Thereupon they were giving thanks to our Lord and Savior, having the Saint in great regard; not only the people and the hierarchs marveled and honored him but also the Emperor to a considerable degree. He besought Saint Spyridon to always entreat God on his behalf. Since the Synodical sessions had finished, Saint Spyridon went directly to his See and homeland.

ON DECEMBER 12th OUR HOLY ORTHODOX CHRISTIAN CHURCH COMMEMORATES THE HOLY AND GOD-BEARING FATHER SPYRIDON THE WONDER-WORKER, BISHOP OF TRIMYTHOUS IN CYPRUS

Spyridon, our Holy Father among the Saints, the boast of the inhabited world, and the adornment of the faithful, flourished during the reign of Emperor Constantine the Great (306-337 A.D.). He hailed from the famous island of Cyprus. The Saint's virtue and divine conduct were such that his accomplishments shone forth brightly throughout the inhabited world, leaving no adult Christian who is not acquainted with his life. This is the same God-bearing Holy Father who had taken part in the First Ecumenical Synod (325 A.D.). Who has not heard of his renowned demonstration at Nicaea?  But his participation at that First Synod shall be triumphantly recounted later.

The Mystery (Sacrament) of Repentance is an act of reconciliation with the Church body. It is the possibility, granted by the Church to those who have alienated themselves from the body because of sin, so as to be able to return to it. Repentance is then a complete about-turn or a change of life. It is a sacrament of regeneration as it establishes for us a share in the death and Resurrection of Christ.
