I didn't realise the bishop had to serve the whole Liturgy alone that day. Must have been a long morning for him up at the monastery. Hope the light of Christ he spoke about at the end gave everyone a bit of strength for the rest of the fast.

Did Metropolitan Kallinikos serve the entire Liturgy at Rovelistis Monastery by himself? Hard work, especially on such a big holiday. It's good that he mentioned the light of Christ at the end - we also need it in these hot August days.

I hadn't caught that he served completely alone either—no priest or deacon at all. The monastery must have been packed that morning, so it probably helped keep things moving. The light of Christ part stuck with me too; we could all use that during the Dormition fast.
