Glory to Jesus Christ!
Welcome, dear brothers and sisters in Christ, and thank you for joining us in prayer this morning.
On this day the Orthodox Church commemorates:
Hieromartyr Methodius, Bishop of Patara (Lycia) – a defender of the faith who courageously stood against heresy
Blessed Prince Gleb Andreevich, son of Saint Andrew Bogoliubsky – known for his deep piety and early monastic devotion
Translation of the relics of Saint Gurias, Archbishop of Kazan – remembered for his pastoral dedication
Martyrs Inna, Pinna, and Rimma, disciples of Apostle Andrew – who bravely proclaimed the Gospel in Scythia
Martyrs Aristocleus (Presbyter), Demetrian (Deacon), and Athanasius (Reader) of Cyprus – martyred for the faith near Salamis
Saint Leucius, Bishop of Brindisi (5th c.)
Saint Callistus, Patriarch of Constantinople (1363)
The veneration of the Hodegetria Icon of the Mother of God
These saints inspire us with their self-sacrifice, steadfast faith, pastoral zeal, and God-centered devotion.
📖 Scripture Readings for Today
Romans 5:17–6:2
Matthew 9:14–17
St. Paul’s words remind us of the gift of grace that offers life through Christ, no longer bound by sin. In the Gospel, Jesus uses the striking image of new wine in new wineskins to illustrate the freshness of the Kingdom of God and the transformation that comes through Him.
