Sunday of Forgiveness

Today, Forgiveness Sunday is the last day before the start Great Lent. The name of this Sunday indicates our desire for God’s forgiveness that lies at the heart of these forty days. Today, also commemorates Adam and Eve’s expulsion from the Garden of Eden, Paradise, because of their disobedience. Yet, despite this, God did not give up on them. As we pray in matins for this day,

“We were expelled of old, O Lord, from the Garden of Eden, for wrongly eating from the tree. But, O my God and Savior, You once again have restored us through Your Cross and Your Passion. Thereby, O Master, fortify and enable us purely to finish Lent and to worship Your holy resurrection, Pascha our saving Passover, by the

prayers of Your Mother”

Yes, Adam & Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden, but as we glance at the Icon of the Resurrection behind our altar, we see that Our Lord restoring them back to life. This gift of new life awaits all of us at the conclusion of our journey through Great Lent.
