Monday in Cheese-Fare Week
The gateway to divine repentance
has been opened. Let us enter eagerly, purified in our bodies and observing
abstinence from food and passions, as obedient servants of Christ who has
called the world into the heavenly Kingdom. Let us offer to the King of All
a tenth part of the whole year, so that we may look with love upon His
Resurrection.

3 John 3 - No greater
joy can I have than this, to hear that my children follow the truth.

Luke 19:29-40 - When
[Jesus] drew near to Beth'phage and Bethany, at the mount that is called
Olivet, he sent two of the disciples, saying, "Go into the village
opposite, where on entering you will find a colt tied, on which no one
has ever yet sat; untie it and bring it here. If anyone asks you, `Why
are you untying it?' you shall say this, `The Lord has need of it.'" So
those who were sent went away and found it as he had told them. And as
they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, "Why are you
untying the colt?" And they said, "The Lord has need of it." And they
brought it to Jesus, and throwing their garments on the colt they set
Jesus upon it. And as he rode along, they spread their garments on the
road. As he was now drawing near, at the descent of the Mount of Olives,
the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God
with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen, saying,
"Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven
and glory in the highest!" And some of the Pharisees in the multitude
said to him, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples." He answered, "I tell you,
if these were silent, the very stones would cry out." (RSV) |
