Today, the Second Sunday of Lent, the Church commemorates Saint Gregory Palamas, Archbishop of Thessaloniki. The saint is also commemorated on November 14.
Saint Gregory Palamas was an active shepherd, an important theologian of the Church who lived in the 14th century and put into practice the theory of the spiritual path to holiness.
His spiritual legacy consists of great theological work as a continuation of the work of the Cappadocian Fathers, that is, Basil the Great, Gregory the Theologian and Gregory of Nyssa.
According to Saint Gregory Palamas, God is revealed to the believer through His energies while God is unknowable in His essence to humans.
Saint Gregory Palamas remains in the consciousness of the people of God as a pillar and foundation of the Church.
