St Gregory Palamas
On the Second Sunday of Lent the Orthodox Church commemorates our Holy Father St Gregory Palamas, Archbishop of Thessalonica and Wonderworker. Although his Feast is commemorated on 14 November, he is also commemorated today for the condemnation of his enemies and the vindication of his Teachings by the Holy Church of Christ in the 14th century, which was acclaimed as a Second Triumph of Orthodoxy. St Gregory was born in Constantinople in 1296 of aristocratic parents who had emigrated from Asia Minor due to the Turkish invasion, and were attached to the court of the Pious Emperor, Andronicus II, Palaeologos (1282-1328). Despite his official duties, St Gregory's father led a Life of Fervent Prayer. Sometimes as he sat in the Senate, he would be so deep in Prayer he became unaware of the Emperor addressing him. While St Gregory was still young, his father died after having become a Monk. Although his equally devout mother wanted to live the Monastic Life, she delayed doing so in order to nurture and supervise the education of her seven children. St Gregory, the eldest, was instructed by the most highly reputed Masters of secular learning and, after some years, he became so proficient in philosophical reasoning that his Teacher thought he was hearing Aristotle himself. Notwithstanding these intellectual successes, St Gregorys real interest lay only with the Holy Things of God. He preferred to associate with Monks and had a good Spiritual Father in Theoleptos of Philadelphia, who instructed him in the way of Holy Sobriety and the Prayer of the heart. in 1316, St Gregory renounced the vanities of the world and his mother, two sisters, two brothers and a great many of his servants entered Monastic Life with him. He and his two brothers went to Mount Athos, where they settled near the Monastery of Vatopedi under the Spiritual Direction of the Holy Elder, Nicodemos of Mount St Auxentios. St Gregory progressed rapidly in Prayer, for - since childhood - he had practised the fundamental Virtues of Obedience, Humility, Meekness, Fasting, Vigil and the different kinds of Renunciation that make the body subject to the spirit. Night and day he besought God ceaselessly with tears saying, "Lighten my darkness!" After some time, our Lady Theotokos - in whom he had put his trust since his youth - sent St John the Theologian to him with the Promise of Her Holy Protection in this life and in the next. After only three years, his brother, Theodosios, Reposed in Christ, followed by the Holy Elder Nicodemos, after which St Gregory and his second brother, Makarios, attached themselves to the Holy Monastery of the Great Lavra, where St Gregory was appointed as Chanter. His conduct in the Cenobitic Life was beyond reproach, and the Brethren admired his zealous practise of all the Holy Evangelic Virtues. He lived in such strict Abstinence that he became completely unburdened by the flesh to the extent of being able to go three months without sleep. At the end of three years of Common Life, his soul thirsted for the sweet waters of the wilderness, so he retired to the Hermitage of Glossia, under the Spiritual Direction of an eminent Monk, St Gregory of Byzantium. Being Purified of passions, St Gregory was able to rise up in Prayer to the Contemplation of the Mysteries of Creation. Solitude and Inner Stillness enabled him to keep his intellect (nous) fixed at all times in the depths of his heart, where he called on our Lord Jesus with such compunction, that he became all Prayer and sweet tears, which flowed continually from his eyes as though from two fountains. The incessant raids of Turkish pirates soon forced St Gregory and his companions to leave their Hermitage, and accompanied by twelve Monks, he wanted to lead a Holy Pilgrimage to the Holy Places and then seek refuge at Mount Sinai. However it was not feasible. Instead, St Gregory spent some time in Thessalonica, where he joined the group around the future Patriarch, St Isidore, who endeavoured to spread the 2.

THE DIVINE LITURGY OF ST JOHN CHRYSOSTOM BEGINS IMMEDIATELY

practise of the Jesus Prayer among the Faithful so that they might profit from the experience of the Monks. In 1326, St Gregory was ordained a Priest, having understood from a Vision that it was indeed the Will of God. St Gregory subsequently established a Hermitage in the area of Beroea, where he practised an even stricter Ascesis than before. For five days of the week he remained alone, Fasting, keeping Vigil and praying with abundant tears. He only appeared on Saturdays and Sundays to serve the Divine Liturgy, share a fraternal meal, and converse on some spiritual subject with his companions in the Ascetic Life. He continued thus to rise up in Contemplation and to enter into closer Union with God in his heart. When his mother died, he went to Constantinople to fetch his sisters, whom he settled in a Hermitage near his own. But as Serbian raids in the region became more and more frequent, he decided to return to Mount Athos where he settled above the Lavra in the Hermitage of St Savas, continuing to live in greater seclusion than before, which enabled him to converse with God. He went to the Monastery infrequently but he did receive his rare visitors on Sundays and Feast Days. From his outward Contemplation St Gregory then attained the Vision of God in the Uncreated Light of the Holy Spirit and the Deification that is promised by Christ to His Perfect Disciples. One day, he saw a vision of himself, filled with Heavenly Milk that, as it overflowed, changed into Wine, which filled the air with a wonderful fragrance. This was a Sign to him that the moment had come to teach his Brethren the Mysteries that God had revealed to him. He wrote several Ascetic Treatises at this time, and, in 1335, was appointed Abbot of the Monastery of Esphigmenou. Sadly, however, the 200 Monks who lived there did not understood his Holy Zeal nor his Spiritual Expectations so, after a year, he returned to his Hermitage. At that time, Barlaam, a Monk from Calabria, was regarded in Constantinople as a speculative thinker, who was particularly fond of expounding the Mystical Writings of St Dionysios the Areopagite, which he interpreted in an entirely philosophical way, making Knowledge of God the object of cold reason and not of Spiritual Experience. When this refined humanist learnt of the methods of Prayer of some simple Monks of his acquaintance, who allowed a place to the sensory element in Spiritual Life, he was scandalized and immediately calumniated (falsely accused) them of heresy. The Hesychast Monks appealed to St Gregory who then wrote several Polemical Treatises (passionate arguments) in which he answered the accusations of Barlaam by locating Monastic Spirituality in a Dogmatic synthesis. He showed that Ascesis and Prayer are the outcome of the whole Mystery of Redemption, and are the way for each person to make the Divine Grace grant at Holy Baptism to blossom within himself. St Gregory also defended the authenticity of the methods that the Hesychasts used to fix the intellect in the heart; for since the Incarnation we have to seek the Divine Grace of the Holy Spirit in our bodies, which are Sanctified by the Holy Mysteries and grafted by the Holy Eucharist into the Body of Christ. This Uncreated Grace is the Very Glory of God which - as it sprang forth from the Body of Christ on the Day of the Transfiguration overwhelmed His Apostles. (MATTHEW 17). Shining in the heart that is Purified from the passions, it truly Unites us to God, Illumines us, Deifies us and gives us a Divine Pledge of that same Glory which will shine on the bodies of the Saints after the General Resurrection. By affirming the full Reality of Deification, St Gregory was far from denying the absolute Transcendence and Unknowableness of God in His Divine Essence. Following the ancient Fathers, but in a more precise manner, he made a distinction between God's Imparticipable Essence and the Eternal, Creative and Providential Energies by which the Lord enables created beings to participate in His Being, His Life and His Light without, however, introducing any division into the Unity of the Divine Nature. God is not a philosophical concept: He is Love, He is a Living Person and a Consuming Fire, Who does everything to make us Godlike (i.e. to regain our lost Divine Likeness with which we were created.) (DEUTERONOMY 4:24),

St Gregory's brilliant answer to Barlaam was first accepted by the authorities of Mount Athos in the Hagiorite Tome and then adopted by the Holy Church, which condemned Barlaam (and with him the philosophical humanism that would soon inspire the European Renaissance), during the course of two Ecumenical Councils at the Church of Saint Sophia in 1341. Barlaam's condemnation and his departure for Italy did not bring the Controversy to an end. No sooner had St Gregory returned to his Athonite Hermitage from Thessalonica - where he had been writing his Treatises in seclusion - than Akindynos, an old friend of his, restated the substance of Barlaam's arguments and condemned St Gregory's distinction between Divine Essence and Energies as an innovation. Akindynos, who at first aspired to be an umpire between Barlaam and St Gregory, was the kind of rigid conservative who does no more than repeat set phrases without seeking to enter into the Spirit of the Tradition. At the same time, a dreadful civil war broke out as a result of the rivalry between the Duke Alexis Apokaukos and St Gregory's friend, John Cantacuzenos (1341-47). The Patriarch, John Calecas, sided with Apokaukos and encouraged Akindynos to bring a charge of heresy against St Gregory, which led to the Excommunication and imprisonment of the Saint. During the four years of St Gregory's confinement, there was no slackening of his activity. He carried on a huge correspondence, and wrote an important work against Akindynos. When John Cantacuzenos gained the upper hand in 1346, the Regent, Ann of Savoy, came to the defence of St Gregory and deposed the Patriarch on the eve of Cantacuzenos' triumphal entry into the City. He nominated St Isidore as Patriarch (1347-50), and summoned a new Council to vindicate the Hesychasts. The Controversy was not finally resolved until 1351, at a third Council, which condemned the humanist Nicephoros Gregoras. In the Synodal Tome the Doctrine of St Gregory on the Uncreated Energies and on the Nature of Grace was recognized as the Rule of Faith of the Orthodox Church. Among St Isidore's new Episcopal appointments, St Gregory was named Archbishop of Thessalonica in 1347; but he was unable to take possession of his See as the city was in the hands of the Zealots - the party opposed to Cantacuzenos. After finding shelter for a while in Lemnos, where he showed heroic devotion during an epidemic, St Gregory was eventually able to enter the city acclaimed as if Christ Himself were coming in Triumph, with the chanting of Paschal Hymns. During a voyage to Constantinople, St Gregory Palamas was captured by the Turks, who held him for a year in Asia Minor (1354-55), but allowed him a measure of freedom. This, and his openness of spirit, enabled him to engage in amicable Theological discussions with the Muslim Doctors of Religion and with the son of the Emir Orkhan. When he was set free, thanks to a ransom paid by Serbia, St Gregory Palamas returned to Thessalonica to resume his duties as Pastor and Wonderworker. He suffered a long illness and, some time before his Repose, St John Chrysostom appeared to him with the invitation to join the Choir of Holy Hierarchs immediately after his own Feast. And, indeed, on 14 November 1359 St Gregory Palamas surrendered his soul to God and as he departed, his countenance was radiant with a Heavenly Light like that which had shone on St Stephen the Protomartyr. (ACTS 6:15) In this way God showed, through the person of His servant, the Truth of His Doctrine on the Reality of Deification by the Uncreated Light of the Holy Spirit. The Veneration of St Gregory Palamas was approved by the Church in 1368 and he has continuously worked innumerable Holy Miracles to the present day and, after St Demetrios, is regarded as the Holy Protector and Patron Saint of Thessalonica.
