on us and save us amen be seated for a moment um I'd like to thank everybody for coming tonight um this is a really significant holiday in the church and it is the finding of the precious and life-giving cross I won't keep you all here um because I know it's getting late but I I distributed my my own personal sermon um for the holiday today through our email list as well as the sermon of his Eminence Archbishop op the foros that was sent out um and we'll talk more about this tomorrow but always remember that St Paul said it very clearly the cross to those who are not Believers is folly to the Greek and back then Paul St Paul wasn't talking about the Greeks of today he was talking about the the pagans um the Greek the wise man they get they stumble on the cross because they don't understand what it is and it gives us life and it's not that we worship the wood it's not that the wood has any power the power comes from Christ our true God because it was through the cross that Christ descended death had no power over over God the cross hadn't which is an instrument of death or it was in those days it had no power over him so remember that the the cross is the key to our Salvation we have to come to the cross of the Lord because as I said in in my sermon that I sent out the best we can do in this life is arrive at the grave and that's everybody but with Christ we enter it back into paradise and back into communion with God himself I know it's getting late you all have a blessed evening God bless you and protect you May the Cross of Christ always rest in your hearts thank you liturgy tomorrow is at or orthos is at 9:00 liturgy is at 10:00 e
