Listen "God Calls You By Your Name"
Episode Synopsis
This sermon explores the profound nature of a personal divine calling, using the biblical encounter between the Angel Gabriel and the Virgin Mary as a foundational roadmap. Fr. Seraphim outlines a four-stage process of spiritual engagement, beginning with a specific and intimate greeting where God identifies individuals by name to alleviate their fears. As the call moves into the phases of mission and clarification, the text emphasizes that God provides encouragement and empowerment while remaining patient with human doubt and the need for understanding. Ultimately, the message highlights the sanctity of human agency, noting that while God offers a compassionate invitation to serve, the individual retains the freedom to either reject the call or embrace it with faithful submission.
