In your prayers please continue to remember Metropolitan Antony, Archbishop Daniel, Fr. Gregory, catechumens (Nicholas & Taylor R., Rob & Stacy M., Michael F., Tom. B., James T., and Samantha T.), visitors and inquirers, new mothers and babies, the betrothed, the married, the sick, the poor, travelers, those impacted by war and calamities, our country, and all those in need.
First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men,... — 1st Timothy 2.1
When Thou, O Lord, wast baptized in the Jordan,
the worship of the Trinity was made manifest.
For the voice of the Father bore witness to Thee,
and called Thee His beloved Son;
and the Spirit in the form of a dove
confirmed the truthfulness of His word.
O Christ our God, Who hast revealed Thyself //
and hast enlightened the world, glory to Thee.
