Today is a day of preparation for the meal we will offer on Sunday, after the Divine Liturgy, to people in need at our Cathedral of Saint Nicholas in Majunga.
At the same time, today we are launching a new initiative that we have called the “Bag of Life”.
We called it this because it contains essential items and basic foods necessary for a person’s survival. A simple bag, yet full of love, giving and hope.
Today it is being done for the first time, and it is the beginning of an effort that, with God’s help, will from now on be carried out very often and throughout our Holy Diocese, so that we can support as many people as possible who are struggling and in need.
I want to thank from my heart all of you who, with your love and your offering, helped to create this first “Bag of Life” today.
This time, your love came from Corinth. We thank you warmly and from the depths of our hearts.
And know that whatever you offer, whatever you send from Corinth, from Athens, from all over Greece, from every corner, is precious to us.
Because behind every item of food, behind every offering, behind every “Bag of Life”, there is a person who will be able to eat, stand on their own feet and carry on with their life.
Your love is not simply an offering.
Your love saves lives.
We thank you from our hearts.
May God bless all who give and all who are in need.
