The Archbishop of Tomis noted that all the Apostles, except for John, have suffered a martyr’s death, which made them our heavenly intercessors.<\/p>\n

“Let us not deprive ourselves of the love of the apostles,” the Archbishop urged June 29.<\/p>\n

“We are the batch of dough of the apostles. Neither Peter nor Paul came here, but Andrew, Peter’s brother, came. We are an offering of the First-Called, the brother of St. Peter. And that is why we must be happy that we have such a pure, natural Christianity that came naturally.”<\/p>\n

“That is why there are no extremes in our Christianity; we are settled down,” said the Archbishop.<\/p>\n

“Of course there are people who rebel, who doubt, but those who are the people of the Church are steadfast in fasting, in prayer, in faith.”<\/p>\n

“Remain in this apostolic steadfastness, a holy and good steadfastness,” His Eminence Archbishop Teodosie recommended.<\/p>\n
