Glory to Jesus Christ!

On October 29, the Orthodox Church commemorates Saint Anastasia of Rome, a courageous virgin and martyr who gave her life in unwavering devotion to Christ. Her example of faith and purity continues to inspire Orthodox Christians around the world to remain steadfast in truth, even amidst suffering and trial.

The readings appointed for this day—Colossians 1:18–23 and Luke 11:9–13—speak powerfully to the hope and assurance we have in Christ. In the Epistle, St. Paul reminds us that Christ is the head of the Church and the reconciler of all creation through His blood. In the Gospel, our Lord calls us to persistence in prayer: “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.” Together, these readings echo Saint Anastasia’s own life of faith and her willingness to seek and follow God’s will even unto martyrdom.

We warmly invite you to join us again for our next livestream on Thursday, October 30, at 8:00 AM Eastern, and to learn more about the life of the Church through our outreach at stpanteleimon.com.

The Gospel (Luke 11:1–10) gives us the Lord’s own teaching on prayer. Together, these readings encourage perseverance, prayerfulness, and gratitude, just as the Martyrs Terence and Neonilla demonstrated in their lives and deaths.

Words from the Saints -- October 23, 2025

"When Scripture says 'He will reward every man according to his works' (Matthew 16:27), do not imagine that works in themselves merit either hell or the kingdom. On the contrary, Christ rewards each man according to whether his works are done with faith or without faith in Himself; and He is not a dealer bound by contract, but God our Creator and Redeemer." --St. Mark the Ascetic

"In everything that we do God searches out our purpose to see whether we do it for Him or for some other motive." --St. Maximos the Confessor

"If you want to be free of all the passions, practice self-control, love and prayer." --St. Thalassios the Libyan

"Even if others make war against us, it is right for us to remain in peace." --St. John Chrysostom

On October 23, the Orthodox Church commemorates the Holy Apostle James, the Brother of the Lord. Known as the first Bishop of Jerusalem, St. James stands as a pillar of faith and a model of pastoral care, guiding the early Church with wisdom, humility, and love for Christ.

According to Holy Tradition, St. James was a kinsman of our Lord Jesus Christ and one of the Seventy Apostles. As the leader of the Church in Jerusalem, he presided over the first Apostolic Council (Acts 15), helping to define the path of the growing Christian community. His epistle, read in Orthodox churches throughout the world, teaches the inseparable bond between faith and works, reminding believers that “faith without works is dead” (James 2:26).

His life reminds us that devotion to Christ sometimes calls us to stand firm even when the world stands against us.

Through his unwavering courage, St. Artemius demonstrated that true victory is not found on the battlefield, but in faithfulness to the Lord. Even in the face of suffering, he proclaimed Christ as King of all, inspiring generations of believers to live with conviction and hope.

Even when mankind strays, God continues to seek reconciliation and healing for His people. Hosea’s words echo through the centuries as a reminder of hope, forgiveness, and steadfast love.

On October 16, the Orthodox Church commemorates the Holy Martyr Longinus the Centurion. Once a Roman soldier, Longinus witnessed the crucifixion of Christ and became one of the first to proclaim His divinity, declaring, “Truly, this was the Son of God” (Matthew 27:54).

After the Resurrection, Longinus became a devoted follower of Christ, spreading the Gospel and enduring persecution for his faith. His life is a beautiful example of repentance, transformation, and courage — a reminder that no heart is beyond the reach of God’s mercy.

The Power of Faith and Transformation

The story of St. Longinus calls us to reflect on our own faith. His journey from soldier to saint reveals that when we encounter the truth of Christ, our lives can be forever changed. His steadfastness in the face of suffering reminds us that true discipleship often comes with trials — but always leads to eternal life.

On October 13, the Orthodox Church commemorates the Holy Martyrs Carpus, Papylus, Agathodorus, and Agathonica, early Christians who gave their lives for the sake of the Gospel. Their steadfast faith and courage in the face of persecution serve as a powerful reminder that true devotion to Christ requires both love and endurance.

Ss. Carpus and Papylus were faithful leaders of the Church who endured torture and death rather than renounce their faith. With them suffered Agathodorus, their servant, and Agathonica, a noblewoman who chose martyrdom over denial of her Lord. Their united witness testifies to the unbreakable strength of faith rooted in love.

Today’s Scripture Readings

The prescribed readings for today offer us encouragement and reflection:

• Philippians 1:1–7 – St. Paul expresses gratitude for the faith and partnership of the believers, reminding us that God, who began a good work in us, will bring it to completion.
