The Power of Humility ☦⛪ Fr Stephen’s Sermon at Holy Annunciation Orthodox Church, Brisbane

The Power of Humility: How to Prepare Your Heart for Great and Holy Lent In this sermon, Fr Stephen discusses the importance of humility and repentance as we approach the upcoming Great and Holy Lent. Using the parable of the Publican and the Pharisee, Fr Stephen emphasizes the need for a humble heart in order to truly connect with God and prepare for the Feast of Feasts, the Resurrection. He also reminds us that the fast-free week is not about the food, but about focusing on our hearts and repentance. Fr Stephen encourages us to recite the Jesus prayer and to approach this Lenten season with a contrite heart, ready to offer ourselves to the Lord. This message is a must-watch for anyone seeking to deepen their spiritual connection and prepare for an upcoming Lenten season. -- Preacher: Priest Stephen David Location: Holy Annunciation Orthodox Church, Brisbane, Australia Occasion: The Divine Liturgy Date: 5 February 2023 Commemoration: The Sunday of the Publican and the Pharisee
