“One who believes in the Lord Jesus Christ and conforms himself to His divine teaching becomes truly free, that is, he is delivered from the power of sin, ceases to be a slave of the devil, and becomes a child of God.” — Archbishop Averky, The Struggle for Virtue
Today’s reading on Christian freedom is taken from:

by Archbishop Averky (Taushev)
Available in print and digital form, wherever books are sold.
Music: Sessional Hymn after the third ode at Matins for Holy Saturday. Automelon: Thy tomb, O Saviour
