St Peters Orthodox Church

March 17, 2021 - Every Ash Wednesday we hear the calling of God to His people through the Prophet Joel, resounding as an alarm, to "return to the Lord your God." The alarm sounded to God's people every Ash Wednesday is the blessedness of our mortality. Many question, "How is our mortality blessed?" Tonight we look at two of the teachings of the Church for over 2000 years regarding the great gift our mortality is to those in Christ. For if we make use of this great gift daily, it will drive us into the arms of our merciful healer daily. And from that experience, we will know the joy, peace, and contentment of our salvation.
