Feast of Agia Sophiatranslated

During the feast of the holy Great Martyr Sophia after her daughters Hope, Faith and Love, our Bishop presided over the Divine Liturgy in the celebrant of the same name I. Church of Agia Sophia, Kountouras Selinou. In his speech he said, among other things: "Our holy Church promotes Hagia Sophia and her daughters, Hope, Faith and Love, models of life. Faces graceful, free from human possessions and conquests.

Faces and models that, more than any other time, our time and our times need. In times and times of many possessions and conquests where modern culture projects desire, consumption and dependence as a way and attitude of life, it is necessary for man to realize that, ultimately, every desire is not freedom and love does not mean the satisfaction of every desire. Hagia Sophia affirms that true freedom is experienced secretly in the heart, when the heart pulsates and is flooded with Christ. This is also the great wisdom of life. To know Christ, to love Him, to let Him dwell in us. Only when the heart is filled with Christ, then and only then does it change and transform."...
