St. Gregory Palamas was able, through his effective teaching and by his example, to show that the energies of God manifest themselves in the life of every Christian.
On the first Sunday of Lent, we remember the restoration of icons to the churches in 843, after years of repression by iconoclast rulers and agitators.
Through Great and Holy Lent, the Church draws us into repentance and renewal. Through the fast, we attend to our spiritual well-being, seeking deeper communion with our good and loving God.
All of us at IOCC are grateful to work with dedicated supporters like you. As a small token of thanks, IOCC offers resources to support your Lenten journey of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving.
This week is a journey unto itself, seeing that in the Church services we participate in Christ’s path to the Crucifixion and, ultimately, Resurrection.
