Message from Metropolitan Alexios
My Beloved Ones,
This Sunday after the Feast of the Holy Cross, our Lord tells His Disciples, “If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me” (Mark 8:34). The commandments to love God & our neighbor bring us joy, but taking up our cross is difficult, as we struggle with our passions.
