The Homilies of Metropolitan Neophytos of Morphou, Vol. I

Author: Metropolitan Neophytos of Morphou

Pages: 304

From the day of Pentecost, the Gospel has spread not by “the sharing of the word” of Scripture, but through “the eyewitnesses of the Word.” The Word has “become flesh.” And thus, what is to be shared with the world is not a book, but His Incarnation. The Incarnation continuing, Christ Himself is encountered in and through the Church, in those who declare with the Apostle, “it is not I, but Christ Who lives in me.” Through them, the world sees Christ and becomes His disciples.

Like the first disciples of the Disciples, Metropolitan Neophytos has become an apostle to subsequent generations, sharing the latest fruits of the Incarnation, links to the Holy Fathers of old.

This “golden chain” of eyewitnesses of the Word and of the Resurrection—this succession of apostolic experience—has, like a river of divine fire, always burned bright, and has in every generation written a new Acts of the Apostles. The lives and witness of three such recent apostles are presented herein, based on the author’s own personal experience: Saints Paisios, Porphyrios and Iakovos. Three towering spiritual pillars, eye-witnesses of the Word, speak to us through their spiritual son who has become a living link to their holiness.
