Description
April 29, 2018 - Today we remember the testimony of St. George the Martyr, who when the government persecuted Christians stood up against the government and would not bow down to their actions was martyred for his faith in Christ. St. Peter instructions us in our Epistle reading from 1 Peter that we are to submit to the government. So where does the Christian draw the line. We are to submit to our government for Christ allows all governments to be in place. In this homily reminds us, however, of where our true allegiance belongs. We are a people of the Kingdom of God and we stand for that Kingdom first and foremost both when governments make room for our faith and when they strike against it.
