As we are now in the fast of the Great Lent, we’d like to announce some useful resources available on our website that would help edify you spiritually during this holy 55 day fast.

1) We’ve just added sermons by Fr. Matthew the Poor on each of the Divine Liturgy’s Gospels during the Great Lent. It’s available here: Hymns/Rites Sermons > 11 Sermons on the Gospels of Lent

2) There are also other sermons on the hymns of Lent available here:

3) You can read about the rite of the Great Lent here:

Wishing you a blessed fast of the Great Lent.
