Thank You! One doesn’t hear so much on St Clement of Ohrid, if at all. A lot of what you say resonates with me.
He is a great Saint of the Church. Mostly, the Slavic Churches have a special veneration for him, especially the Southern Slavs.
@@OrthodoxTradition is just heard you mention St Clement and St Naum in tonight’s vigil. Very cool!! I just received an Icon of St Naum.
Thank you your Emenience for this teaching.
Thank you for this soul-enhancing homily. I was moved to become Orthodox because of 1 phrase in the Liturgy: "a mercy of peace, a sacrifice of praise." As sinners, all of us need God's Mercy to cover our sins. When we ask for it, Orthodox Christians are saying we get the Peace of God. There is nothing greater for us on earth than the Peace of God. And for that extraordinary gift, all God asks of us is that we praise Him...give Him "credit" for all He's given us, which is everything in heaven and on earth. I knew I could, and wanted to be Orthodox because of that. Also, as a 10 year old child with a life-threatening illness, my grandmother prayed that I'd "live and know the Spirit of Prayer." It had a SIGNIFICANT effect on my life. Plus, the first time I heard the Liturgy in English, it felt like it was the first time I'd ever been to Church in my life! It's very edifying to recognize the truth of Vladyka Demetrius' words. Thank you for sharing them with us.
In the love of Christ,
Mother Anastasia of St. Paisius Hermitage.
God bless you. Thank you.
Glory be to God for St. Clement of Ohred, what a loving cause he stood for! St. Markella serves all in Greek, except on Sundays, but only when Fr. Theodore is presiding; during those Sundays we have the benefit of hearing the homily in English. If he's not in for whatever reason, well... no such luck! God have mercy on us. Thank you your eminence! 🙏☦️

Is this the same st.Clement who the mariners cross comes from?
Please i dont mean to be offensive, but i must know. I want to know more.
No, this is St. Clement of Ohrid.
I just listened to this homily again. In the Boston convent, when we were chanting, Abbess Stephenia, for whom English was her 2nd language, very often had us slow down the chants so she could "catch" the words. She had to have time to understand the words in her head, and offer them as prayer in her heart to our Lord Jesus Christ. That slight speed in the chanting prayers in services allowed me to hear, understand and pray every word, too. It was an absolutely wonderful way to learn the prayers and services of the Church! Now, when I hear prayers read too fast for the words to be "captured," it grieves me so much. I wonder if cantors understand how difficult it makes it for people to "catch" and pray the prayers of the Church when the words are slowed down just a bit. It makes all the difference to be able to understand the prayers. I've never heard that slightly slowed tempo of chanted prayers any where else. I crave it so much.
What an amazing, important and indeed unknown part of our our orthodox history!
It's so good to get to know our Saints! Thank you your Eminence! You blessing please.
God bless you. Thank you.
Blagodaram! 😊
I went there in Ohrid, so many miracles in that area 🥰🥰🙏Thank you Father🙏🥰🌺I remember hearing about him. There was a Saint Demetrius church by the lake, the Turks tore it down, put up a mask, and Tito’s army tore it down took everything away over night, years later a communist man was having dreams to build a Church and call it St. Demetrius, exactly in the same spot. I met the man. There is also a myrr bearing St. A body not icon There, was
that St. Clement? Thank you for teaching this Gather🥰🙏🌺
It's an amazing and Holy place. May the Sainys help us.
