Joke of the Day 29/11
What do you call an obnoxious reindeer? Rude-olph
Featured Saint
St Kyriacos:
-Claim to Fame: There was great persecution against Christians and after St. Kyriacos (only 3 years old) and St. Euita (St Kyriacos’ mother) tried to escape the persecution in 3 different provinces, they accepted that martyrdom was God’s wills for them. The ruler called out St. Euita and asked her to save her beauty and her son by worshipping the idols. The mother rejoiced when her son died yelling “I am Christian,” and then got beheaded joyfully knowing she didn’t have to worry about her son’s salvation.
-Fun fact: The maids took their bodies from the garbage bins (which is where the ruler ordered them to be because he got angry at their faith) and hid them in a cave near Tarsus.
Spiritual Message 29/11
“God is a fire that warms and kindles the heart and inward parts. Hence, if we feel in our hearts the cold which comes from the devil – for the devil is cold – let us call on the Lord. He will come to warm our hearts with perfect love, not only for Him but also for our neighbor, and the cold of him who hates the good will flee before the heat of His countenance.” -St. Seraphim of Sarov
