Sts. Cyril & Methodius: Apostles of the Slavs & the Unity of the Church

About this sermon

Sts. Cyril and Methodius, the Apostles of the Slavs and co-patrons of Europe, transformed Christian history through their extraordinary missionary work. In this homily, we reflect on their evangelization of the Slavic peoples, the creation of the Cyrillic alphabet, and the translation of the Sacred Liturgy into the local language so countless souls could receive the Gospel. The sermon also examines the Catholic understanding of the Church's unity and the authentic meaning of ecumenism. What did St. John Paul II mean when he spoke of the Church "breathing with both lungs"? How should Catholics understand the relationship between East and West, the Orthodox Churches, and the mission to restore full communion in Christ? May the prayers of Sts. Cyril and Methodius strengthen our love for the Church founded by Jesus Christ and inspire us to pray for the unity of all Christians.
