Since we're able to hold in-person services again, we're discontinuing live-streaming. But here's today's sermon:

Adorned with branches for Pentecost! Spring leaves represent the new life that comes to us through the outpouring of the Spirit. "The well-spring of the Spirit, coming down on those on earth and parted into fire-bearing rivers, spiritually bedewed the Apostles and guided them to light; and the fire became for them a cloud of dew and a flame of rain enlightening them, through whom we have received grace through fire and water. The light of the Advocate has come and enlightened the world. " (Sessional hymn for the Feast, trans. Fr. Ephrem Lash)

A homily from yesterday's feast. "At the mid-point of the feast according to the Law, Maker of all things and Master, you said to those who were there, Christ God: Come, and draw the water of immortality. Therefore we fall down before you and with faith we cry: Grant us your mercies, for you are the source of our life. "Water my soul, dried up by lawless faults, with the streams of your blood and show it to be heavy with the fruits of virtues; for you have told all to come to you, All-holy Word of God, and to draw the living water of incorruption, which cleanses the sins of those who hymn your glorious and divine Rising. You grant to those who know you to be God, the strength of the Spirit which was brought from on high to your Disciples: for you are the source of our life." Kontakion and Ikos for the Feast (trans. Fr. Ephrem Lash)
