2025-02-23 Sermon: Father Jim Moulketis

Father Jim Moulketis' sermon focuses on the theme of light during Great Lent, particularly the "Light of Christ" that illuminates all. The sermon emphasizes the importance of spiritual growth and insight during this period, highlighting services like compline, salutations to the Blessed Mother, and the pre-Sanctified liturgy. Father Jim shares a personal connection to the prayer during the pre-Sanctified liturgy, where a priest holds up a candle and proclaims the Light of Christ. The sermon connects this theme to lighting candles in church, symbolizing strength and hope. A story about a baseball manager trying to extinguish another's candle is used as a metaphor for guarding one's faith against worldly distractions. Father Jim emphasizes that Christ's light broadens our vision, enabling us to see and serve others, and calls for listeners to become beacons of this light in the world. This sermon was broadcast live from Saint Mark Greek Orthodox Church in Boca Raton, Florida, on February 23, 2025.
