Every person, no matter who they are, or what they have done – for better or for worse – is worthy of God’s love. And if they are worthy of God’s love, then they are worthy of our love, too.

Today, on #VeteransDay, we honor our servicemen and servicewomen who put their lives on the line for all of us, making the brave and selfless decision to serve and sacrifice their lives to protect this nation. Let us offer gratitude to each and every veteran, today and always.

The voice of America has spoken. Congratulations to President-elect @realDonaldTrump and VP-elect Sen. @JDVance May God guide us to heal divisions and build a brighter tomorrow through faith and community. #OneNationUnderGod

OXI Day (October 28) is a shining reminder of the courage and steadfastness of the People of Greece, who stood tall in the face of the fascist aggression and invasion against their Nation during World War II. #OXIDay goarch.org/-/archiepiscop…

On this day of Saint Demetrios the Great-Martyr, I wish all who celebrate, “Many Years” and especially H.E. Archbishop Demetrios, the former of America.

Today, we welcome @yulia_navalnaya, a courageous woman who carries the torch of her late husband Alexei Navalny. His fight for justice, truth, and democracy transcends borders. May God bless her with resilience and courage as she champions this noble cause.

Today, we welcomed the relatives of Israeli victims of the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attack at our Holy Archdiocese. Their stories of loss are heart-wrenching. We stand with them in prayer for the release of the hostages and offer our full support, both spiritual and material.

My beloved newly Baptized brothers and sisters: The confession of the Faith that you made today is renewed in every Divine Liturgy and is essential to our ongoing witness to the love of God for each human being and the totality of His creation.

It was with great joy that I welcomed Ms. Iphigenia Kanara, the new NYC Consul General of Greece,to our Holy Archdiocese. We wish her every success in her mission & look forward to a fruitful collaboration,united in our shared goal of serving our beloved Greek-American community.

The Lord asks us to choose to love over hate, generosity over selfishness, and compassion over indifference: then we are truly carrying our crosses, plowing the same path He did on the way to Golgotha.

At the Saint Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church and National Shrine, we remember those lost on #September11, 2001, and those whose service took their health and lives in the years after. Our doors are open to all who seek solace and remembrance. #NeverForget

On this Labor Day, we honor those who fought for the rights of the hardworking, ensuring fair wages and dignity in labor. As St. Paul reminds us, “The laborer deserves his wages” (1 Tim 5:18). This is how we fulfill the promise of the American dream, for all to partake.

Attending the Synaxis of Hierarchs of the Ecumenical Patriarchate with others from around the world, we affirm the global role of the Mother Church.

At the Phanar, in the presence of His All Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, we welcome the New Church Year, praying for God’s abundant grace upon all creation.

The desecration of the Orthodox Cemetery of St. Eleftherios in Tatavla (Kurtuluş), Istanbul, is a stark reminder of the need for religious tolerance & respect. We ask for the Greek minority’s protection and call on authorities to ensure the sanctity of all sacred sites is upheld.

We call upon our faithful to help ease the suffering from the recent fires in Greece. While we await a full assessment of needs, @goarch will fund the restoration of Panagia Axion Esti Monastery in Varnava Attica to ensure it serves the community for years goarch.org/donate/greecef…

At the #DNC2024CHICAGO, I had the honor of greeting President @BarackObama and conveying the blessings of His All Holiness, Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, whom he has met twice—first in Istanbul and later at the @WhiteHouse during his presidency.

Eternal+Ever-Living God: we come before You, seeking Your Heavenly Benediction upon this DNC. Grant unto the nominee for President of USA, VP @KamalaHarris & her running mate @GovTimWalz to pursue the highest offices in the Land with love, with hope and with faith in our Nation.

Today is truly a day of glory, when the Mother of our God is enthroned as Queen of Heaven and Intercessor for the world! Through the grace of Her Son, our Lord, she is received into the celestial heights, there to live forever as a promise of the Resurrection for all humankind.

In her Dormition, the Virgin seals the Divine Drama of our salvation, by anchoring the Ladder of Divine Ascent in her tomb. Thus we chant: The tomb has become a ladder to Heaven! By enduring a peaceful, she becomes for us the model of our transition from this life to the next.
