Thirtieth Thursday after Pentecost

 

December 1-7, 2008

Thirtieth Week after Pentecost


The sincerity of your deeds has revealed you to your people as a teacher of moderation, a model of faith, and an example of virtue. Therefore, you attained greatness through humility and wealth through poverty. O Father and Archbishop Nicholas, ask Christ our God to save our souls. (Troparion for December 6th)

Today's Scripture

Hebrews 11:1 - Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

Luke 21:29-33 – [Jesus] told them a parable: "Look at the fig tree, and all the trees; as soon as they come out in leaf, you see for yourselves and know that the summer is already near. So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that the kingdom of God is near. Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away till all has taken place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.” (RSV) 

 Today's Saints

December 4 - The Holy Great Martyr Barbara at Heliopolis, in Syria; The Holy Martyr John of Damascus; St John the Bishop of Polybotum; Martyr Juliana at Heliopolis, in Syria; Hieromonk Seraphim, Bishop of the Phanar
