Anniversary of our Bishop's ordinationtranslated

With thanksgiving to the Holy Triune God, officiating, as a Priest, in the holy chapel of Agios Ecumenios, which is located in the forecourt of the Boarding Schools of our Holy Diocese, celebrated the 21st anniversary of his ordination as Bishop. Our pastor, Mr. Amfilochios. "The anniversaries of ecclesiastical figures are not opportunities to display and praise their supposedly good works, but they are opportunities for prayer, reflection, self-criticism and assessment. Accountability, however, in the tradition of the Church, is stepping on the scales of conscience. Because it has authenticity, orients and harmonizes the pace of man. The others, our works, no matter how good or bad, are the realization of our debt, the realization of our humble ministry. You wish that God will claim us, at the time of His just Judgment, to stand with a 'good apology' before Him", noted our Bishop with emotion, thanking the concelebrants, Clergy and laity, collaborators of our I. Diocese "...

for their faithful, devoted, humble and bright ministry in the Church".
