[Homilies and Spiritual Instruction]
Bishop Nektary (Kontsevich)
Having delivered this sermon forty years after the Bolshevik revolution in Russia, Bishop Nektary compares the indifference the of rest of the world, even Christians, to the torture, imprisonment, and murder of millions of innocent victims in the Soviet Union, with the priest and Levite in the parable of the Good Samaritan. Perhaps we should heed this message when we read about the terrible suffering today in the Middle East, Africa, or eastern Ukraine?
