A sermon on St. Mary of Egypt by Fr. Apostolos Hill (Dean of the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Cathedral in Phoenix, Arizona) has grabbed my attention this year, and I feel compelled to share its message as we enter into Holy Week.
I encourage you, dear reader, to listen to Fr. Apostolos' sermon via Ancient Faith Radio at this link.
Also, you may wish to read what Fr. Apostolos' wrote about St. Mary of Egypt at this link.
[You may also be blessed by listening to Fr. Thomas Hopko speak on Lazarus Saturday which is today's bright Feast in the Eastern Catholic and Eastern Orthodox communities of faith. Click here to listen.]
Many who have been far form the Church will peak in the doors during Holy Week; let us be sure to welcome them with the same hospitality with which Saints Lazarus, Mary, and Martha welcome the Lord to their own home.
