The path of repentance and illumination
Sermon on the Sunday of Saint Gregory Palamas, Great Lent 2016
by Metropolitan Demetrius.
The Holy Fathers chose to honor Saint Gregory Palamas on the second sunday of the Holy Fast because he is a living example of one who is not only Orthodox in faith, and who fought to preserve Orthodox doctrine and dogma, but one who in his life taught the spiritual aspect and how the spiritual life is part of the doctrine and dogma of the Holy Orthodox Church.
