In the Orthodox Church, we begin Great Lent with Forgiveness Vespers ☦️ During this service, we prostrate ourselves before each member of the Church and ask them to forgive us our sins 🙏 Each of us responds, “God forgives, and I forgive.” The Church is a hospital 🕯️ And this is what healing looks like. 📖 “Bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do.” Colossians 3:13 #StMarkRochesterHills #OrthodoxChurch #OrthodoxChristianity #ForgivenessVespers
