Glory to Jesus Christ!

On October 17, the Orthodox Church commemorates the Holy Prophet Hosea, one of the Twelve Minor Prophets of the Old Testament. Hosea’s life and writings teach us about God’s enduring love and His call to repentance, faithfulness, and renewal of heart.

The Prophet Hosea lived during a time when the people of Israel had turned away from God, yet his message revealed that divine love is patient and unrelenting. 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.

Today’s Scripture Readings

Our reflection today was guided by the following readings:

• Philippians 1:27–2:4 – St. Paul encourages us to live in unity, humility, and love, striving together for the faith of the Gospel.

• Luke 9:12–18 – Christ miraculously feeds the multitude, showing that He provides not only for our physical needs but also nourishes our souls with His grace and compassion.

Glory to Jesus Christ!

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.

Glory to Jesus Christ!

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.

• Luke 7:36–50 – The story of the sinful woman who anointed Christ’s feet teaches us the power of repentance and the immeasurable mercy of God’s forgiveness.

Words from the Saints -- September 25, 2025

"Every passion has an opposing virtue: pride — humility, anger — meekness, hatred — love." --Abba Dorotheus of Gaza

"If the intention is unclean, the deed that follows from it will also be evil, even if it seems it is good." --St. Gregory the Great

"Nothing troubles the man who is given over to the will of God, be it illness, poverty or persecution. He knows that the Lord in His mercy is solicitous for us." --St. Silouan of Mt Athos

"He who is careless about prayer is careless about his salvation; he who quits prayer renounces his salvation." --St. Ignatius Brianchaninov

"The Spirit comes gently and makes himself known by his fragrance. He is not felt as a burden, for God is light, very light... the Spirit comes with the tenderness of a true friend to save, to heal, to teach..." --St. Cyril of Jerusalem

“Nothing troubles the man who is given over to the will of God, be it illness, poverty or persecution. He knows that the Lord in His mercy is solicitous for us.”

"Do not let pass any opportunity to pray for anyone, either at his request or at the request of his relatives, friends, of those who esteem him, or of his acquaintances. The Lord looks favorably upon the prayer of our love, and upon our boldness before him. Besides this, prayer for others is very beneficial to the one himself who prays for others; it purifies the heart, strengthens faith and hope in God, and enkindles our love for God and our neighbor. When praying, say thus: “Lord, it is possible for Thee to do this or that to this servant of Thine; do this for him, for Thy name is the Merciful Love of Men and the Almighty." --St. John of Kronstadt
