There is no greater teacher, no greater master, no greater pastor for your life. The Cross is the guardian of the whole world; and it is the guardian of your souls. The Cross is the beauty of the Church, and there is nothing more beautiful in a human being than their transformation by the Cross of Christ. The Cross is the strength of kings. Saint Helen knew this. Saint Constantine knew this, and although we have no more kings, the Cross is the pillar by which all governments are measured: in terms of mercy, forgiveness, compassion, and ultimately, love.
Archbishop Elpidophoros
