Do we have a heart where the Lord is pleased to dwell?
Sermon delivered to the monks at Saint John of San Francisco Orthodox Monastery by Metropolitan Demetrius
Salutations of the Mother of God Service, Great Lent, 2018
If we have not prepared the room in the inn of our heart, how can our Lord dwell within us? First and foremost we must admit we are unclean, understanding our nature.
Let us beseech Her, the holy mother of our God, who has such boldness before her Son, to deem us worthy to complete the remaining part of our life in peace and repentance..
