The Sacrifice of Praise: The Forgotten Worship That Changes Everything

About this sermon

Every Divine Liturgy calls us to offer "a sacrifice of praise." But what does that truly mean? In this homily commemorating the Holy Fathers of the First Six Ecumenical Councils, we discover how the bishops and saints who defended the true Faith did so through suffering, sacrifice, and unwavering fidelity to Christ. Their witness preserved the truths we profess every Sunday in the Nicene Creed, including the divinity of Christ and the title of the Blessed Virgin Mary as Theotokos—the Mother of God. Drawing from Hebrews 13, 1 Corinthians, and the miracle of the Feeding of the Five Thousand, this sermon reminds us that praise is not merely words sung in church but a daily offering of gratitude, patience, mercy, and thanksgiving. Every meal, every trial, every irritation can become a sacrifice pleasing to God when offered with love. May we honor the Holy Fathers not only by preserving the Faith but by living it each day.
