ktgrok Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I found this from St. John Chrysostom so incredibly freeing and helpful. https://www.simchafisher.com/2017/04/16/christ-is-risen-and-the-demons-are-cast-down/ ...let them not be afraid of being too late; for the Lord is gracious and He receives the last even as the first. He gives rest to him who comes on the eleventh hour as well as to him who has toiled since the first: yes, He has pity on the last and He serves the first; He rewards the one and praises the effort. Come you all: enter into the joy of your Lord. You the first and you the last, receive alike your reward; you rich and you poor, dance together; you sober and you weaklings, celebrate the day; you who have kept the fast and you who have not, rejoice today. The table is richly loaded: enjoy its royal banquet. The calf is a fatted one: let no one go away hungry.... 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jennay Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 This sermon is read in every Orthodox Church every Easter (Pascha). So encouraging. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
