From Fr.Vladimir's 2nd Sunday after Pentecost Sermon:
...Two things I must underline in today's Scripture readings: 1) Did you know, my beloved brothers and sisters, that we are at no time more like God then when we forgive? And 2) We are at no time more like the Apostles then when we follow Christ and His Church just as Peter and Andrew, James and John did, as it is recorded: "Immediately they left their nets and followed Him" (Mt. 4:20)...Read this one and other sermons.
