The Words of the Fathers No. II (XII) / 2021
Fifth Homily. Delivered to the people in the Church of the Blessed Apostle Andrew, on the day of his feast
Grigorie cel Mare A homily for the feast of Saint Andrew the Apostle, inspired by the Gospel reading from Matthew 4:18–22, explores the theme of the call to follow Christ and of inner sacrifice. Taking the example of the Galilean fishermen as its starting point, the text shows that the Kingdom of God costs whatever you have, and that the goodwill of the heart surpasses any material wealth.
