Sermon of the Holy
Fathers’ Sunday.
24 December 2017.
24 December 2017.
In the name of the Father, and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
We are now in
the period of the feast of Nativity, and according to the liturgical calendar, the
celebration started on Friday, and will be completed tomorrow, God’s willing.
Therefore today,
which is the Sunday before Christ’s Nativity, is included in the period of the
Nativity feast, where the holy fathers of the Lord Jesus in the flesh are
mentioned.
Today, I would
like to reflect upon the subject of the Holy Theotokos.
What is the one thing
that the Most Holy Theotokos offered, that no one had ever offered before?... And
nevertheless everyone is called to offer?.
