Even if we have thousands of acts of great virtue to our credit, our confidence in being heard must be based on God's mercy and His love for men. Even if we stand at the very summit of virtue, it is by mercy that we shall be saved.
St. John Chrysostom
Pannykhida for Metropolitan Laurus
On the feast day of the holy Martyrs Florus and Laurus, on Monday August 31 a pannykhida was served for Metropolitan Laurus at his grave side. We are grateful to Metropolitan Hilarion, Archibishop Mark and Bishop John who were are able to come on this day and pray for the repose of our memorable Father Vladyka Laurus.
