from Holy Trinity + Holy Cross - Sermons Hosted by Holy Trinity + Holy Cross Greek Orthodox Cathedral
In today’s Gospel reading, we hear the account of Christ walking upon the water and pulling St. Peter out of the waves. Today is also the feast day of the Holy Martyr Phocas the Gardener, one of the most beloved saints of the early church. This saint is known for walking upon the water, lending his help to sailors in fisherman in need of saving. Fr. Micah recounts St. Phocas’ story, a story of great courage, hospitality, and generosity. This saint continues to bring us the light of Christ, the One who pulled Peter up from the waves and has pulled us from death into life everlasting.
