St. Nicholas of Myra
[Jesus] lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said: “Blessed are you poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. Blessed are you that hunger now, for you shall be satisfied. Blessed are you that weep now, for you shall laugh. Blessed are you when men hate you, and when they exclude you and revile you, and cast out your name as evil, on account of the Son of man! Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven; for so their fathers did to the prophets." (Luke 6:20-23)
The icon is of St. Nicholas of Myra, Wonderworker (December 6th).

Feasts & Fasts - December
Habakkuk was one of the Twelve Minor Prophets, of the Tribe of Simeon. He lived in the 5th century B.C. In his book, which is part of the Old Testament of the Bible, he agonizes over the problem of evil, and how evil seems to triumph over good. The first verse quoted above prophesizes Jesus as the One who visits His people and is used in the Royal Hours of the Nativity. November 15 - December 24 December Please continue to pray for a swift and peaceful conclusion to the wars in Ukraine, the Middle East, Ethiopia and every conflict worldwide. Please also pray for the peace and safety of all those who are deprived of liberty. The Eparchy of Passaic is collecting stipends to support priests in Ukraine. The Eparchy of Newton is collecting donations to support the Church in the Middle East. Please support them as best you can!! |
