As we recite the 4th Stanza of Salutations to the All-Holy Theotokos, we cry to her in our hour of greatest need. The Akathist Hymn is more than her praises, or the story of her Annunciation and the Nativity of our Lord. It is a plea for help in the face of danger and difficulty.

I had the great pleasure of speaking to robert worth for this truly exceptional piece worth your time. It will give you a comprehensive presentation of the role of the Patriarchate of Moscow and its full frontal assault against our Ecumenical Patriarchate. #mustread

Υποδέχθηκα με χαρά στην Αρχιεπισκοπή μας την Υπουργό Εσωτερικών κ. Niki Kerameus. Συζητήσαμε το θέμα της επιστολικής ψήφου και πώς μπορούμε να ευαισθητοποιήσουμε τους Έλληνες της Διασποράς για τη συμμετοχή τους στις εκλογές με αυτή τη νέα νομοθετική ρύθμιση.

Honored to host Minister Niki Kerameus at our Archdiocese, discussing mail-in voting for EU Parliament elections. Enabling Greeks abroad to vote was long overdue. Our church stands ready to participate in raising awareness for the upcoming elections.

Yesterday, at the NY State Capitol, we honored the Heroes of 1821. March 25, 1821, is Greece's Fourth of July. Coinciding with the Feast of the Annunciation, it reminds us that true liberty is the ability to choose without coercion.
