Today is a very powerful day

Today is a day full of many wonderful Saints.

*

Macrina the Righteous, sister of St. Basil; 

Dius, Abbot of Antioch; 

Translation of the Holy Relics of Righteous Seraphim of Sarov; 

Saint Theodore, Bishop of Edessa

 *

In Sister Magdalen's book she writes

of the goal of a teacher of children who seeks

to pass on the Traditions of the Church

is to have children not divide their lives in two,

as if one's church life and the rest of life are two separate 

parts or compartments.

*

This sermon talks of the same:

are we only religious and church is one of the compartments of life,

as if it is put in a closet like clothes or a pantry for food

or is it part of everything.

The key here is that if one has God only in a closet in one's life

than one is not really believing in the reality of 

Christ's Resurrection.

*

Oh that we can grow in knowing Christ and having our life forever changed.

Oh that we too can be aware of the Saints and 

so have hope in God who knows the name of each star,

in Whom is all Truth, Beauty and Praise.
