Fifth Week of the Great Fast

 

March 17, 2010

Fifth Wednesday of the Great Fast

 

My soul, O my soul, rise up! Why are you sleeping? The end draws near, and soon you will be troubled. Watch, then, that Christ your God may spare you, for He is everywhere present and fills all things.

Today's Scripture

Isaiah 41:9b-10 - "You are my servant, I have chosen you and not cast you off"; fear not, for I am with you, be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my victorious right hand.”

Genesis 17:3-4,7 - Then Abram fell on his face; and God said to him, "Behold, my covenant is with you, and you shall be the father of a multitude of nations. … And I will establish my covenant between me and you and your descendants after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your descendants after you."

Proverbs 15:33 - The fear of the LORD is instruction in wisdom, and humility goes before honor. (RSV)

 Today's Saints

March 17 - Venerable Alexis the Man of God; Saint Theocteristus the Confessor; Saint Patrick, bishop of Armagh and Enlightener of Ireland; Venerable Macarius the Abbot and Wonder-worker of Kalyazin; Llinio, Abbot and founder of Llandinam; Lulach, King of Scotland; Withburgh, Princess of East Anglia, hermitess of East Dereham and founder of a convent; Martyr Marinus; Monk-martyr Paul of Cyprus
