“Homily of Bishop Alexei in Greek (with English subtitles) to his spiritual children on the Myrrh Bearing Women and the treasure of Orthodoxy, delivered at the Monastery of Saint Demetrius where over one hundred souls from miles around came to see Vladyka, who was their beloved spiritual father for many years. Father Deacon Thomas who took the video remarked, “it was a real blessing to see Vladyka speak to the people where he was spiritually formed in their own language and cultural context. What he did to form these people in their love for Orthodoxy and for each other in this humble, but beautiful temple, is what he is doing now for us in Alaska. The hand of God can certainly be seen in all of this. Glory to God.”
