O Holy Apostle Philip,
Intercede with the merciful God
That he may grant our souls forgiveness of sins.

Glory to Jesus Christ! Glory for ever! + Slava Isusu Christu! Slava i vo viki!
From the Fathers of the Church …
The father runs out from far away. “When we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”(Rom 5: 8) The father runs out. He runs out in his Son, when through him he descends from heaven and comes down on earth. “With me,” the Son says, “is he who sent me, the Father.”(Jn 8: 16) He “fell upon his neck.” He fell, when his whole divinity came down as ours and rested in human nature. When did he kiss him? When “mercy and truth have met each other, justice and peace have kissed.”(Ps 84: 11) “He gave the best robe,” that which Adam lost, the everlasting glory of immortality. “He put a ring on his finger.” That is the ring of honor, the title of liberty, the outstanding pledge of the spirit, the seal of the faith, and the dowry of the heavenly marriage. Hear the apostle: “I engaged you to one spouse, that I might present you a chaste virgin to Christ.”(2Cor 11: 2) “And sandals on his feet, etc.” This is so that his feet might be in shoes when he preached the gospel, for “how beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace.”(Rom 10: 15)
