To show faith, to draw strength from the church and lay aside selfishness, in the difficult situation that the country is going through, is the message sent to the Greeks by the Archbishop of Athens, Mr. Hieronymos from Corfu where he is on a few days vacation.

"Selfishness is the greatest sin. He who is selfish does not only harm himself, he also harms his fellow man. The more selfish there are, the greater the evil. Therefore, if we want to look for the causes of today's crisis, the root is the selfishness and infidelity of each of us. If we are honest and look deeply, I think we will also find the cause of the crisis", said the Archbishop to the Athens News Agency.

His Beatitude Archbishop of Athens Hieronymos is in Corfu for a few days of rest after his tour in Macedonia, invited by the Metropolitan of Corfu, Paxos and Diapontian Islands, etc.. Nektariou.

Mr. Jerome, this morning he officiated at the Divine Liturgy at the Holy Monastery of the High Pantocrator, on Mount Pantokrator, the highest point on the island.

Makariotatos in his sermon to the congregation pointed out that "Our time is difficult. Many efforts are being made by authorities, powers, governments , there are many discussions. All of these are useful, beneficial and they need us and should. Good is the continuous struggle and the effort to face every personal or other difficulty. But we find strength and peace through faith ,the Word of the Lord and the Church".

During his stay in Corfu, the Archbishop worshiped the shrine of the island's patron Saint Spyridon.

He also visited other holy pilgrimages, while he also went to the Diapontian Islands where he had the opportunity to talk with the few inhabitants of Othoni.
