Today on the second Sunday of Lent, we commemorate the life of Saint Gregory Palamas. Father Micah shares with our youth and us a sermon on how our bodies participate in our life in Christ. Our bodies participate by bringing offerings for services, kissing icons, praying, and receiving Holy Communion.
