Vespers for the Sunday of the Canaanite Woman - February 13, 2021

Second Corinthians 6:16-18; 7:1
(Epistle for the Sunday of the Canaanite Woman)

Brethren, you are the temple of the living God; as God said, "I will live in them and move among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Therefore come out from them, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and touch nothing unclean; then I will welcome you, and I will be a father to you, and you shall be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty."

Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body and spirit, and make holiness perfect in the fear of God.

Father Mark Pakes offers the homily.
