Fr. Charalampos Papadopoulos
Unforeseen situations are contrary to God’s will and our desires, and that’s why they seem unforeseen to us. But in fact, they’re not unforeseen.
We want a lot, but we’re not ready to give a lot.
Pain is an opportunity to see our values again, no matter how we lived before. Only pain, only a catastrophe will help do this.
Growing up, a man understands that pain is a structural part of his life; no one can avoid it; we will all certainly encounter it. Anxiety and questions arise in the soul of man—many questions.
A Church person is someone who feels like a part of the Body of Christ, who participates in Holy Communion, in the Sacraments of the Church, and wants Christ to become the center of his life.
In order to encounter God, we must be sincere in prayer.
Today we’re going to talk about a deep existential question that is of vital importance and has many dimensions in our lives.
