**ENGLEWOOD, NJ —** Metr. Saba addressed the [faithful](https://www.antiochian.org/regulararticle/2739) with blessings and encouragement for the Sunday of Orthodoxy, calling on them to embrace the Lenten season with renewed devotion and a spirit of repentance.

In his pastoral letter, Metr. Saba reminded the faithful of the words of St. Isaac the Syrian, urging believers to “enter eagerly into the treasure-house that is within you, and so you will see the treasure of heaven.” He emphasized that Great Lent is a time for spiritual vigilance through prayer, fasting, and almsgiving, anchoring hearts in humility while embracing God’s mercy.
