Fifth Week of the Great Fast

 

March 19, 2010

Fifth Friday 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 45:13 - I have aroused him in righteousness, and I will make straight all his ways; he shall build my city and set my exiles free, not for price or reward," says the LORD of hosts.

Genesis 22:10-12 - Then Abraham put forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son. But the angel of the LORD called to him from heaven, and said, "Abraham, Abraham!" And he said, "Here am I." He said, "Do not lay your hand on the lad or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, seeing you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me."

Proverbs 17:17 - A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. (RSV)

 Today's Saints

March 19 - Martyrs Chrysanthus and Daria, and those with them at Rome: Claudius, Hilaria, Jason, Maurus, Diodorus presbyter, and Marianus deacon; Martyr Pancharius at Nicomedia; Saint Innocent of Komel (Vologda), disciple of Saint Nilus of Sora; Saint Bassa, nun of Pskov; New-Martyr Demetrius at Constantinople; Martyr Alcmund, Prince of Northumbria
