“July 4th is more than the feast of freedom in America. It is the historical memory of that moment, when a oppressed people decides to rise and claim their freedom, as their consciousness demonstrates as an inalienable right. ” This is noted in his message on the occasion of July 4, which marks the freedom and independence of America, the Archbishop of America Elpidoforos.
As he points out, “freedom is the good we are trying to keep alive and practical in this blessed country for all people, regardless of race, nationality, religion or origin.” In addition, he states that “true freedom can only come from God and root in the depths of our heart, as it is inextricably linked to the truth of the Gospel.”
In a deep spiritual interpretation of the national feast of the United States of America, the Archbishop Elpidoforos emphasizes that “freedom and truth are tied to each other in the face of Christ” and that “if we do not belong to the truth, then what we see and perceive it will remain with our And in the life proposed by our Orthodox Church and the Gospel of Christ. “
“In a moment,” he says, “that the whole world desperately seeks the truth and peace, the steady points of a life in the light of Christ, let us decide to become his true disciples. The Lord is aware of our thirst for freedom and knowledge, but these gifts offer them according to our faith and the good works we do as his deacons. So let’s try to be honest students of divine discourse so that we can get to know the truth and be truly free. “
