"Wishing to grant remission of ancient obligations, He Who cancels the debts of all people came Himself as a stranger and dwelt among those who were from His divine grace estranged; and tearing up the bond of sin, He hears from everyone: Alleluia."
From the Salutations to the Theotokos for the Fourth Friday of Great Lent.
Father Peter Kostakis offers the homily.
