Metropolitan Nektarios of Corfu, Paxos and Diapontia Islands officiated the Divine Liturgy on Monday, July 8, at the Church of Saint Procopius in the homonymous village of Corfu.
In his speech, the Metropolitan referred to the pericope of the day, while highlighting two words of advice of Saint Paul to his disciple, Timothy.
The Apostle of the Nations underlines that we should not disregard the fact that Timothy was young and believed fervently in the Lord, and secondly that Timothy should not disregard his talents.
This pericope is associated with the feast of the Holy Great Martyr Procopius, who was young and, instead of disregarding, cultivated the talents that the Lord gave him.
Metropolitan of Corfu also points out that today there are many who persecute Jesus impose any perverseness and abnormality upon our society as a whole while pursuing self-promotion and self-admiration (new idolatry).
Everyone is free, even not to believe in God. However, one does not have the right to pass laws against religion or to deride the faith of the Orthodox Greeks who are the overwhelming majority of our people.
What we need to do is not to disregard the great talent that has been given to us, that is the faith in the true God, he concluded.
