First Sunday of Luke in Megalochori, Thiratranslated

The Most Reverend Metropolitan of Thira, Amorgos and Islands, Mr. Amfilochios officiated during the Orthros service and celebrated the Divine Liturgy at the Holy Church of the Entrances of the Theotokos Megalochori, Thira on Sunday 1st Luke, September 27, 2026. In his sermon, His Holiness referred to the Gospel passage of the miraculous fishing and the calling of the first disciples by Christ.

He particularly focused on the Apostle Peter's trust and obedience to the word of the Lord. Despite the disappointment of a whole night without result, Peter obeys Christ's exhortation and casts the nets again, saying: "at your word I break the net".

His Holiness emphasized that this reason is an attitude of life for every Christian, who is called to trust God even when human efforts seem to be fruitless. At the same time, he referred to Christ's invitation to the disciples to leave everything and follow Him, pointing out that the same invitation is addressed to every person throughout time.
