When we lose someone we love, we often wonder: Can they still see us? Are they listening? In this episode, Metropolitan Neophytos of Morphou answers these heavy questions by explaining the "five powers of the soul." He reveals how these powers don’t die with the body—they actually become more active once they are released from the physical world.
His Eminence shares how the righteous find joy in a "continuous communion" with the Saints and their loved ones, while those in hell struggle with multiplied malice and isolation. He also shares a very personal testimony on how to handle people who have wronged us—showing how a simple candle and a prayer can lead to a miracle of reconciliation through Christ.
This English translation of the sermon of His Eminence Metropolitan Neophytos of Morphou was presented for otelders.org by Porphyrios. The sermon was delivered on 25 April 2024 at the the 35th edition of the "Lighter of the Saints" Meetings, held at the Holy Church of Panagia Chryseleousa in the community of Akaki under the Metropolis of Morphou, Cyprus.
