Weekly Schedule

Grace and Peace, 

+ This Sunday is the 5th Sunday of the Great Fast (The Paralytic man Sunday).

The Liturgy Gospel will be from John 5:1-18. 

+ On the 5th Sunday, we hear the story of the patient of Bethesda, who was ill for 38 years, and the Lord Jesus said to him, “Do you want to be made well?” John 5:6

+ We need to ask ourselves: “After 5 weeks of fasting and repentance, is there a clear change in my spiritual life?”
