Glory to Jesus Christ! Glory Forever!
Today is the First Monday of Great Lent.
On February 23, we commemorate the Holy Hieromartyr Polycarp, Bishop of Smyrna, a faithful disciple of the Apostles and steadfast witness to Christ. His martyrdom embodies the courage and fidelity that the Lenten season seeks to cultivate within every believer.
The appointed reading from Isaiah 1:1–20 establishes the spiritual foundation of Great Lent. The prophet calls the faithful to sincere repentance, justice, and purification of heart. In these solemn words, the Church invites us to examine ourselves, to turn away from sin, and to embrace the mercy of God.
Our next livestream will take place on February 24, 2026, at 8:00am.
