The Three Holy Hierarchs and the Power of God-Fearing Families

About this sermon

What do the Three Holy Hierarchs—St. Basil the Great, St. Gregory the Theologian, and St. John Chrysostom—have in common beyond their theology, preaching, and holiness? They were all raised in deeply god-fearing families, especially by saintly mothers whose prayers gave them firm spiritual roots. In this homily for the Feast of the Three Holy Hierarchs, Father reflects on a powerful line from the Orthodox wedding service prayer: “For the prayers of parents give firm roots to the founding of families.” Drawing connections between: the lives of the Three Holy Hierarchs the role of parents (especially mothers) in forming saints the parish as a refuge and foundation for families and Mother Teresa’s famous words: “If you want to change the world, go home and love your family” this message reminds us that the Kingdom of God is built first in the home. Whether you are a parent, grandparent, single adult, or clergy, this homily calls every parishioner to help ensure that families are firmly rooted in Jesus Christ—because holy families change the world. 📿 May the Three Holy Hierarchs intercede for all our families. 0:00 – Christ Is Among Us 0:16 – Visiting St. Sophia’s School & A Child’s Question 0:44 – How Scripture Is Remembered Through Prayer 1:05 – The Wedding Service Prayer That Changed Everything 1:32 – “The Prayers of Parents Give Firm Roots” 1:50 – The Mothers of the Three Holy Hierarchs 2:35 – Saints Are Formed in Holy Families 3:12 – The Parish as a Refuge for Families 3:55 – “If You Want to Change the World, Love Your Family” 4:20 – Building the Kingdom of God Here and Now 4:36 – The Intercession of the Three Holy Hierarchs 4:56 – Final Blessing and Doxology For more please visit https://www.youtube.com/@steliasbrampton & say 3 Hail Marys for the priest 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Support Catholic Businesses here - https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ Sensus Fidelium Press - https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ Sensus Fidelium Apps - https://sensusfidelium.tv/ Support Sensus Fidelium - https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 🙏🏻PLEASE HELP OUR CHANNEL GROW 🙏🏻 ▶️ 1.
