Message from Metropolitan Alexios
My Beloved Ones,
I greet you with love and joy in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, as we prepare to enter the second week of the Triodion.
Most Orthodox Christians are familiar with the Parable of the Prodigal Son, and how it represents our relationship to our Heavenly Father: we are also Prodigals, who may turn to sin and fall into despair; but our God, who is ever-loving and merciful, waits to welcome us home to the Heavenly Banquet table, if we repent.
This important element—free will—was a crucial discussion for St. John Cassian, who we commemorate this Sunday as well.
