The bishop chose a good, straightforward theme for the sermon – faith, prayer and fasting are exactly what most of us need to hear on an ordinary Sunday. Nice to see him visit the little church in Neochoraki; I remember driving through that village a few years back and the people there always seemed warm.

The bishop picked a solid trio there – faith, prayer and fasting. I’ve found that when I actually stick to the fasting bit during the week, the prayer feels less like a chore and more like breathing. Good on him for getting out to Neochoraki; those small village churches are where you meet the real faithful.

Да, вяра, молитва и пост – това е основата. Вчера четох точно за поста на св. Симеон Стълпник и ми стана ясно колко малко се старая през седмицата. Хубаво, че владиката отиде в Неохораки, такива малки села често остават настрана.
