A "Missing Page" in the Christian knowledge and practice of many good hearted believers who do not know of the Orthodox Church is our every day reality that the Saints intercede for us. Everyone understands that angels do God's bidding on the earth, and intervene in the affairs of men, but many do not understand that since God is the God of the living, and not the dead, the Saints are alive and also pray to God for us and intercede on our behalf. The feast day of the Protection of the Mother of God clearly illustrates this every day reality that we live with and which comforts us. We explain this feast which occurs on Oct 1 according to the church calendar (Oct 14 on the Gregorian calendar), and the only thing extraordinary about it was that two holy people saw Mary, the mother of Jesus interceding in heaven for us, along with St John the Baptist and St John the Evangelist, not that it occurred, because the intercession of the saints occurs every day. We are a church of miracles, which are usually seen only by those who think and live spiritually. https://www.orthodox.net//catechism/missing-pages_2014-10-11+protection-of-the-mother-of-god+choir-of-the-saints.mp3 https://www.orthodox.net//catechism/missing-pages_2014-10-11+protection-of-the-mother-of-god+choir-of-the-saints.mp3 Sat, 11 Oct 2014 21:22:03 -0600 Priest Seraphim Holland AUDIO catechetical talk:Missing Pages.
