St. Macarius the Great
Homily 25 marks the final installation of the Fifty Homilies of St. Macarius the Great for this Great Lent of 2015. We wish all our readers a blessed Holy Week.

As leaven turns the whole lump into leaven, so the leaven of sin permeates the whole race of Adam; but Christ puts a heavenly leaven of goodness in faithful souls.
