Archbishop Mark of Philadelphia and Eastern Pennsylvania
"So brothers and sisters, let us listen to the holy Gospel, and look at St. Tikhon of Zadonsk and all the saints. I was searching in my heart and wondering if is there any saint we simply recognize for their teaching, because as we listen to the Gospel today, those who teach and do not do shall be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven, but those who do and teach, the doing before the teaching, and actually the doing is teaching—St. Paul talks about being living epistles—shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven."

Philadelphia is one of the Greek words for love. As distinct from the eros we Americans prefer and idolize, philadelphia is devoid of sexual or romantic interest. It’s the brotherly affection between siblings, who support each other, and hold each other accountable.

"So often, my dear brother and sisters, we forget about the fact that it’s not about me, it’s not about any of us, individually—it’s about Christ redeeming the world. Yes he came for me, yes he came for you—He came for everybody, the entirety of creation, to bring all things to the knowledge of the Truth, to bring everything to Himself, so that all could be saved."
