Twenty-Second Tuesday after Pentecost

 

October 6-12, 2008

Twenty-Second Week after Pentecost

 

You were a disciple of Christ and a member of the divine college of Apostles. Having been weak in faith you doubted the Resurrection of Christ. But by feeling the wounds you believed in His all-pure passion: Pray now to Him, O all-praised Thomas, to grant us peace and great mercy.

(Troparion for October 6th, Feast of the Holy and Glorious Apostle Thomas )

Today's Scripture

Colossians 2:20 - If with Christ you died to the elemental spirits of the universe, why do you live as if you still belonged to the world?

Luke 8:1-3 – [Jesus] went on through cities and villages, preaching and bringing the good news of the kingdom of God. And the twelve were with him, and also some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary, called Mag'dalene, from whom seven demons had gone out, and Joan'na, the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, who provided for them out of their means. (RSV)

 Today's Saints

October 7 - The Holy Martyrs Sergius and Bacchus in Syria; The Holy Martyrs Julian the Presbyter and Caesarius the Deacon at Terracina; The Holy Martyr Pelagia of Tarsus; The Holy Martyr Polychronius the Presbyter; The 99 Martyred Fathers of Crete
