In his message for Holy and Great Lent 2025, His All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew reminds us that this is a time of “fasting and repentance, of spiritual vigilance and journey with the Lord,” culminating in “the veneration of His splendid Resurrection.” […] The faithful ‘encounter, recognize, and love one and the same Christ,’ […] our experience of faith is ‘unique’ and ‘profoundly personal’ as a freedom given to us by Christ, […] expressed as love and applied support to our concrete neighbor […] May all Orthodox Christians avail themselves of the opportunity to take hold of this glorious freedom now
