Homily, 01.10.2021 - Sunday after Theophany, Gregory of Nyssa/St. Theophan the Recluse
We apologize, there was a glitch in the audio recording; the section being read at the beginning of the homily is this:
The true Light hath appeared, granting illumination to all. And Christ transcending all purity is baptized with us, charging the water with sanctity for the purification of souls. Wherefore, the thing apparent is earthly, but its significance transcendeth the heavens; for by washing salvation is attained, by water the Spirit, and by immersion ascent to God. Wherefore, great are Thy works, O Lord, glory to Thee. (from the Praises for the Sunday after Theophany)
