COMMENTARY
OF POPE FRANCIS
ON
THE BEAUTY OF ORTHODOX CHRISTIAN WORSHIP
PUTTING
GOD AT THE CENTER OF EVERYTHING
“The
Orthodox Churches have preserved the liturgy which is so beautiful. We’ve lost
sight slightly of the meaning of worship.
They worship God and they sing about it; time is immaterial to
them. The Orthodox Church preserves the
beauty of God being at the center of everything. When you read Dostoevsky you can really feel
the Russian and Oriental spirit. We are
deeply in need of this breath of fresh air, this light of the East.”
POPE
FRANCIS
Dear People,
This is vindication of the great treasure the Eastern Orthodox Church has pressured in our worship services. We should share this news with our cradle Orthodox Christians who are abandoning their precious Orthodox way of life. The spirit of consumerism is impacting our relationship with God. When the leader of Roman Catholicism admits this, then we should sit up and take notice.
+Fr. Constantine J. Simones
