Metropolitan Seraphim Kykkotis: Eternal Life and Modern Problems

In the Gospel passage of the 12th Sunday of Matthew, Metropolitan of Zimbabwe Seraphim Kykkotis analyzes the prerequisites for inheriting eternal life, as presented through the meeting of a rich man with Jesus.

The Metropolitan emphasizes the importance of keeping God's commandments, analyzing parameters such as marital fidelity, avoiding murder, proper management of material goods, and supporting justice.

He points out that love and charity are necessary to avoid loss, while ingratitude towards parents is an obstacle to entering the kingdom of God.

He also refers to the economic crisis and the need for solidarity with those who lack the necessities, as well as prayer for the cessation of armed conflicts and addressing climate change.

Metropolitan Seraphim Kykkotis calls on believers to imitate the example of Christ and work for justice, dignity, and the salvation of mankind.
