How the Church's most famous Easter sermon dismantles our spiritual meritocracy and sets a table where the slackers get paid exactly the same as the zealots
A quote from Palamas, shared by Fr Andrew Stephen Damick:
"[Christ] took upon Himself our human flesh, which was subject to suffering and death, even though it was completely pure, and He used it in His divine wisdom as a bait to hook the serpent, the originator of evil, through the Cross, and set free the whole human race which he had enslaved. When a tyrant falls, all those he tyrannized are liberated."
He is truly risen. ☦️
