Archbishop Varlaam Conducts Gospel Discussion on Sunday Readingtranslated

August 9, 2026 · 1 min read

On August 9, 2026, at the spiritual and educational center of the Makhachkala Diocese, located within the grounds of the Ascension Cathedral, Archbishop Varlaam held another weekly Gospel discussion with parishioners following the Sunday Divine Liturgy.

The discussion centered on the Gospel passage concerning the healing of the demon-possessed boy (Matthew 17:14-23), which was read at that day’s Divine Liturgy.

During the session, the archpastor addressed numerous questions from the congregation.

These Gospel discussions with Archbishop Varlaam are held weekly at the Makhachkala Diocese’s spiritual and educational center, within the Ascension Cathedral complex, immediately after the Sunday Divine Liturgy. All are welcome.

The session begins at 11:00 a.m.

Thanks for posting this. The story of the possessed boy has always stuck with me because the father says “I believe, help my unbelief,” which feels so real. Glad the archbishop took time to answer everyone’s questions afterward. Wish we had something like that here in Pittsburgh after Liturgy.
