On Sunday January 6,
2008 Feast of the Holy Theophany, +Fr. Basil offered the following, both in
Greek and in English. It is from St.
John Chrysostom. Many of you asked for a copy. We have
posted these words on our website for the benefit of all.
Christ is Everything
I
am your father,
I
am your brother,
I
am your bridegroom,
I
am your home,
I
am your sustenance,
I
am your clothing,
I
am your root,
I
am your foundation,
Everything
you want, I am.
You
have need for nothing.
I
will work for you,
I
have come to serve and not be served.
I
am your friend,
I
am your members,
I
am the head,
I
am your brother,
I
am your sister,
I
am your mother,
I
am all things.
Only
abide in Me.
I
have died for you.
I
have been rejected for you.
I
have been placed on the Cross for you,
I
have been placed in the Tomb for you,
Above,
I am before the Father for you,
Below,
upon the Earth, I intercede for you before the Father.
You
are everything to Me…My brother,
My co-heir, My friend, My member.
What
more do you want?
