Sunday of Orthodoxy

A lesson in seeing rightly.

Today the Church lifts high the holy icons and proclaims that the Word truly became flesh. What we believe about Christ is not an idea floating in the clouds, but a face we behold, a life we follow.

Epistle: Hebrews 11:24–26, 32–40

We hear of Moses and the great cloud of witnesses who chose faith over comfort, reproach over riches. They saw something greater than what was visible. They lived for a promise not yet fulfilled. Faith, the Apostle tells us, is not fantasy. It is steadfast sight.

Gospel: John 1:43–51

Philip says to Nathanael, “Come and see.” And Nathanael, skeptical but open, encounters Christ who already knows him. “You will see greater things than these,” the Lord says. Heaven opened. Angels ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.

On this Sunday of Orthodoxy, we proclaim that the One whom the prophets longed for has come. The invisible God has made Himself visible. The faith handed down to us is not abstract. It is embodied. It is radiant. It is true.

All are welcome. Come and see.
