GREGORY PALAMAS, SUNDAY OF PDF Print E-mail
GREGORY PALAMAS, SUNDAY OF - The Second Sunday of Lent is the commemoration of St Gregory Palamas. It was St. Gregory (d.1359) who bore living witness that men can become divine through the grace of God in the Holy Spirit; and that even in this life, by prayer and fasting, human beings can become participants of the uncreated light of God's divine glory.
 

The Sayings of the Fathers

The purpose of the advent of the Saviour, when He gave us His life-giving commandments as purifying remedies in our passionate state, was to cleanse the soul from the damage done by the first transgression and bring it back to its original state. What medicines are for a sick body, the commandments are for the passionate soul. - Pearls from Saint Isaac of Syria
