The fifth Sunday of the Lent is a pertinent moment to remember that God provides us with opportunities to serve Him by serving others, no matter who or what they are.
In the Sunday of Orthodoxy Gospel, Philip tells Nathaniel: “We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law” — Jesus Christ. “Come and see.” This proclamation relates the reading to the feast of exalting the icons.
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.
