Vespers Livestream – Monday, September 8, 2025

Glory to Jesus Christ!
On September 9, the Orthodox Church honors the Holy and Righteous Ancestors of God, Joachim and Anna, the parents of the Most Holy Birthgiver-of-God and Ever-Virgin Mary. Their faith, patience, and steadfastness in prayer prepared them for the miraculous birth of the one who would give birth to Christ Himself. Their story reminds us that God’s providence unfolds in ways beyond human expectation, and that faithfulness and trust in Him are never in vain.
As we remember Joachim and Anna, we also reflect on the beauty of family life rooted in faith, prayer, and trust in God. Their example encourages all Christian families to cultivate holiness within the home, preparing a fertile ground for the seeds of faith to grow.
We invite you to join us for our next livestream on Wednesday, September 10 at 8:00am Eastern.
