Weekly Sermon

 

Beloved in Christ,

Today’s Gospel places us inside the synagogue, the sacred gathering place where God’s people met each Sabbath to pray,
to hear the Scriptures, and to be strengthened in faith. It is here that our Lord Jesus Christ is teaching, and among those who have gathered is a woman who had been bent over by an infirmity for eighteen long years. Though she suffered greatly, she still came to worship. She did not hide from God, nor did she withdraw from the community of faith.

And it was precisely there—in the midst of prayer, in the midst of her perseverance—that Christ saw her. He called her to Himself, He placed His hands upon her, and immediately she was healed and stood upright, glorifying God.

This moment reveals something beautiful about Christ. He sees us even when we feel unseen. He knows our hidden burdens,
our quiet tears, and the struggles we carry silently. And when we remain faithful to Him—when we continue to come to His
holy Church, no matter the weight upon our shoulders—He meets us. He restores what is broken, He lifts what is heavy,
and He fills us with the grace that only He can give.

Let us never allow our troubles to keep us away from the house of God. Like the woman in today’s Gospel, let us bring our
wounds and weaknesses before Christ, for it is in His presence, in His Church, that healing begins. Here, we encounter the One who knows us, loves us, and calls us into the fullness of life.

†Rev. Fr. Elias Pappas
