December 5-6, 2022 His Beatitude Metropolitan Tikhon presided at the celebration of the All-Night Vigil and Hierarchical Divine Liturgy at Saint Nicholas Cathedral, Washington, DC for their patronal feast day.
His Beatitude gave the homily at the Liturgy where he spoke about Saint Nicholas as a wonderworker and how he miraculously helps us now, not just in old stories from the middle ages.
His Beatitude remarked, “By celebrating Saint Nicholas as a wonderworker, we are reminded never to lose hope. However great the achievements of science, technology, politics, economics, and the like may be, we all know that there are situations that seem to lie beyond human intervention. Medical emergencies, chronic illnesses, relationships of every kind, family and financial circumstances, natural disasters, political and geopolitical crises: in all of these areas we sometimes exhaust our human options. But Saint Nicholas reminds us that, with God, the options are never exhausted.”
Many years to the parishioners of Saint Nicholas Cathedral!
