Apolytikion of the Church
Blessed are You, O Christ our God. Who by sending down, the Holy Spirit upon them, made the fishermen wise and through them, illumined the world. And to You, the universe is ever drawn, glory to You O lover of mankind.

Love them! But this is exactly what we find difficult if not ...Read Full Text >
