Each of us as an Orthodox Christian is set apart and sealed to be a royal and priestly intercessor for our family and neighborhood, circle of friends, and our parish, and our land. Many are very unaware of this, especially in specific terms, and are unaware of the impact it has and the great connection of generations accomplishing this renewing of our local circumstanced by God through us. However, what is more widely unknown is that we are all in a very direct sense intercessors not only for these local circumstances but also for the human race and for the entire world, and furthermore how the world would look without us fulfilling this role and how the world DID look without it.
