Homily 10th Sunday after Pentecost - Faith & Thinking Too Little of Ourselves

In today's homily, we're challenged to expand our faith beyond what we can see. The story of a skeptical doctor learning to heal through spiritual means reminds us that we often limit ourselves by our own beliefs. As Orthodox Christians, we're encouraged to embrace the full potential God has given us, just as the saints did. The key lesson is that we might be thinking too little of ourselves, missing out on the incredible spiritual growth and miracles that faith can bring. By keeping our focus on Christ and His teachings, we can move mountains in our spiritual lives, overcoming doubt and growing in holiness. This New Church Year, let's reflect on whether we're fully embracing the Gospel's transformative power in our lives.
