Listen Later

In this episode, Metropolitan Neophytos of Morphou deliveres an inspiring homily reflecting on the life and virtues of St. Katherine of Alexandria, highlighting her exceptional wisdom, beauty, and wealth in the ancient world. He emphasizes how St. Katherine’s gifts became her greatest temptations, yet through humility, repentance, and a deep desire for Christ, she overcame worldly ambitions and dedicated herself to God. Met. Neophytos shows the importance of using our own talents in accordance with God’s will, cultivating a genuine relationship with Christ and the Panagia (Theotokos), and seeking spiritual health over worldly recognition. This English translation of the sermon of Metropolitan of Morphou Neophytos at the solemn Vespers of the feast of St. Katherine, which took place at the Church dedicated to the saint in the community of Byzakia under the Metropolis of Morphou, Cyprus (November 24, 2017), was provided by the Metropolitan Neophytos of Morphou Homilies YouTube channel and was presented for otelders.org by Porphyrios from the Orthodox Treasures YouTube channel.
