Meeting on Thursday February 25, 2016, the Holy Synod of the Romanian Orthodox Church decided to canonize the Venerable Daniil and Misail of Turnu Monastery, to be commemorated on October 5, and the Venerable Neofit and Meletie of Stânişoara Monastery, to be commemorated on September 3.
Fr. Stavros Akrotirianakis
If God our Father is ready and happy to restore us, we should be happy to restore one another. After all, no one has sinned against me MORE than I have sinned against God. So, if I expect God to forgive ALL of my sins, then I should be willing to forgive the sins of others. And I should rejoice, rather than resent, when someone “comes back” and “makes it right.”
And this image, of the kind and forgiving father is the image we should all have of our Lord. He waits for us to make our way back. He waits to embrace us and welcome us home. Our burden is to make the journey. We don’t have to wonder what His reaction will be. It will be one of great joy.
