Let the household, the Church, and every faithful person carry the burdens of others before God. Honor the holy intercessors: respect and seek the prayers of the saints and of the Theotokos, for they stand before God and plead with motherly and fatherly love. Yet place no trust in the intercessor to the point of neglecting repentance. Repent personally: the one for whom others pray must show forth repentance and a willing heart to abandon sin.

The lesson warns sharply against such sacrilege; God’s mercy is not a cloak for stubborn lawlessness. Part 3 Continues ...

Amen. © John's Repentance Reach out to us on our social media platforms and share it with your friends:https://linktr.ee/johnsrepentance
