One Thing Needful
Salutation to the Theotokos

- Fr. Micah Hirschy -


Father Micah shares with us that at this anxious time in our nation's history we should not lose sight of the one thing needful. He reminds us that we should not be like Martha who was troubled about much, but we should be like Mary her sister, who sat at Our Lord's feet and listened to His words. As Orthodox Christians we should use this time wisely to read the Scriptures and find moments of silence to hear the Lord's still small voice. We should live our lives with hope and joy, because the Theotokos is both our intercessor and advocate before Christ.
