In the Byzantine/Melkite tradition, the Sunday after Pentecost is the Sunday of All Saints—a powerful reminder that the same Holy Spirit who descended as tongues of fire now purifies, illumines, and unites us to God.

This homily explains:

Why All Saints is placed right after Pentecost

How the fire of the Spirit purifies like gold and transforms ordinary people into saints

What St. Paul and the Desert Fathers (Abba Joseph & Abba Lot) teach about holiness

Practical ways to take up your cross: guarding your tongue, daily prayer, repentance, sacraments

Why the Church proclaims, “Holy things for the holy”, and how Baptism, Chrismation, Confession, and the Eucharist actually make us holy over a lifetime

If you’ve ever wondered how to grow in holiness in the middle of traffic, hard conversations, and busy schedules, this talk shows the simple, concrete steps to let God’s grace set your life ablaze.

📖 Mentioned: the Publican’s Prayer Book, “cloud of witnesses” (Hebrews 12).
