Thanks for sharing this. I didn't know St. Myron was from Crete—his story of cleaning up that sin-stained image really hits home after a long work week. The bishop's words make me want to look up more about him before our next hike.

Gracias por el artículo. No conocía la historia del obispo Myron limpiando esa imagen manchada por el pecado, me recordó lo que siempre dice el padre en la parroquia: hay que trabajar la propia alma como se arregla un cable pelado. El sermón del metropolita Gerasimos suena muy práctico, voy a buscar más sobre el santo esta semana mientras arreglo el jardín.
