Unity heals, separation wounds. This is true both in the Church and in the family. That’s why we must find ways to go forward . Our life requires patience, humility and prayer. Let us not do deeds of which we’ll be ashamed in the future.
In these photos are depicted moments from the service of Holy Unction at Vatopaidi before Christmas.

The perfect example of Unity is featured in the icon ‘Lady of Tenderness’, I have spent many hours studying in silence the wonderful unity between the Child and His mother expressed in this icon. I think that unity is about ‘sharing’. The Child shares his love with His Mother and the Mother shares her love with the Child. So if we as poor sinners can try to love the Son as much as the Mother loves Him and if we try to love the Mother as much as the Son loves her, then we move towards Unity. By loving the Mother it follows that we can love and be united with the Church, because is the Theotokos not the model of the Church?

Yes – sure. Take all the services and all the saints. Make a statistic with percentages – how much are mentioned and praised all the saints during them. I am sure that Mother of God has more than 95% alone and all other saints together have 4-5% (ok, perhaps St. John the Forerunner can have something…).
