The most precious thing on earth. Royal thrones, presidential seats, academic chairs hold little value.
The Holy Table is the burning bush. Here Christ descends, the Holy Spirit is present, the Angels are around.
And in front of this miracle, to hear the faithful whispering about trivial matters, not experiencing the unique event.
Who celebrates the service?
The priest alone or everyone, clergy and people together.
Why do we call it a "divine service"?
Well! As the priest stands,
the faithful must also stand. Concentrated!
Completely surrendered to God. At this moment we are not on earth.
Who mystically represent the Cherubim?
We are in heaven, before the Holy Trinity. Without "worldly concerns."
We are all priests.
Wow, wow, wow! How God enables us to live!
Saint Porphyrios of Kavsokalyvia
