The Homilies Collected Here Were Delivered, And Worked Over, During The Last Decade At The Three Hierarchs Chapel Of St Vladimir S Seminary. These Homilies Follow The Three Main Liturgical Cycles Of The Year: The Paschal Cycle, The Nativity Theophany Cycle, And The Theotokos Cycle. Following These Cycles Has Meant, Inevitably, That Some Feasts (Such As Transfiguration And The Elevation Of The Precious And Lifegiving Cross) Are Not Touched, Nor Are Those Sundays That Belong To Ordinary Time, Nonfestal Periods. Nevertheless, These Cycles Not Only Map Out Our Year, But Also Our Lives As We Learn To Grow In Conformity To Christ.
