Hello to February!

Date: 01 February 2005 03:13:00

I cannot believe it is February already! This year is flying along.

Tonight we're having an Evening Divine Liturgy for The Feast of the Meeting of our Lord God and Saviour Jesus Christ in the Temple:

Rejoice, O Virgin Theotokos, full of grace!
From you shone the Sun of Righteousness, Christ our God.
Enlightening those who sat in darkness!
Rejoice, and be glad, O righteous elder;
You accepted in your arms the Redeemer of our souls,
Who grants us the Resurrection.

Troparion

By Your nativity, You did sanctify the Virgin's womb,
And did bless Simeon's hands, O Christ God.
Now You have come and saved us through love.
Grant peace to all Orthodox Christians, O only Lover of man!

Please continue to remember Fr John, our priest, and his family in your prayers.
