Meaningful Sacrifice - Part 2

Meaningful Sacrifice - part 2

Fr John Brian continues a series of sermons on the topic of meaningful sacrifice by using an excerpt of a writing by an early Church Father, Origen. The excerpt is from his "Homilies on Leviticus." It is entitled "Seven Sacrifices - Seven Remissions" and has been posted at

In preparation for Lent, Fr John Brian further clarifies a definition of sacrifice, reviewing Origen's first two correlations
with sacrifices in Leviticus: baptism and martyrdom. Then he talks about Origen's third remission - the remission through alms and charitible giving.

Luke 12:32-34 is used in the sermon.

This sermon uses and refers to scripture readings appointed by the Syrian Malankara calendar and was given on Sunday, February 19, 2012 by Fr. John-Brian Paprock at Holy Transfiguration Orthodox Mission
Chapel, Madison, Wisconsin.
