2019 UNCTION FLYER

Please join us for the third and final of the three soul Saturdays of this year’s Great Lenten cycle. Due to the feast of the Annunciation falling on a Sunday this year, the day before it (April 6) is not a Soul Saturday. We will still have Liturgy that day, but it will be a non-memorial Saturday. All information about the coming Saturday can be found here:

SOUL SATURDAY 3-30-19

When you begin to read or listen to the Holy Scriptures, pray to God thus: “Lord Jesus Christ, open the ears and eyes of my heart so that I may hear Thy words and understand them, and may fulfill Thy will.” Always pray to God like this, that He might illumine your mind and open to you the power of His words. Many, having trusted in their own reason, have turned away into deception.

+ St. Ephraim the Syrian

Blessed the one who farms fair and good thoughts each day and by hope conquers the wicked passion of despondency, by which the Lord’s ascetics are warred upon.
