In the Gospel reading, we heard the story of the Ten Lepers who came to Christ for healing. Leprosy is a terrible disease, though it is rarely seen nowadays. Leprosy causes weakness and pain, like every disease. But it also brings about isolation and loneliness. For in ancient times and modern, the person with leprosy was required to live apart from the rest of society, an outcast and an exile. Read More

Homily of Archbishop Elpidophoros of America at the Feast of Theophany

Messages

It was in His baptism that Jesus was revealed to the world as the one true Christ, the Anointed One above all others. The Son of God came to the world to be forever our prophet, priest, and king. It was not by the words of a mere mortal that Jesus was named as God’s chosen one, but rather by the voice of the Father Himself from heaven. It was not by an earthly oil that Jesus was anointed and consecrated to serve, but rather by the Spirit of God Himself, coming down from heaven upon His head in the form of a dove. In ages past, many men had been anointed to lead, but only the Son of God was the true Christόs. He was, and is, the great and eternal prophet and priest and king, for all the people of the world.
