Elder Thaddeus Vitovnic
Just as rich, fertile soil produces a lot of thorns and weeds
if not cultivated, so will our human nature!
Having been created by God
we are well suited to works of Holy Virtue,
but because we have not been tilled by the Plough of Piety,
nor received the Seed of Divine Knowledge,
impiousness has sprung up within us
like choking thorns and other detritus.

“No one can serve two masters. Either
he will hate the one and love the

”You cannot serve God and Mammon!
“Therefore, I say to you: do not worry
about your life – what you will eat
or what you will drink – nor about
your body – what you will put on.
“Is not Life more than food and the
body more than clothing?
”Look at the birds of the air, for they
neither sow nor reap, nor gather
into barns, yet your Heavenly
Father feeds them.
”Are you not of more value than they?
”Which of you – by worrying – can add
one cubit to your stature?
”And why do you worry about
clothing?
“Consider the lilies of the field, how
they grow - their neither toil nor
spin.
”I say to you that even Solomon - in all
his glory - was not arrayed like one
of these.
”If the grass of the field - which today
is, and tomorrow is thrown into the
oven - is so clothed, will God not
much more clothe you, O you of
little Faith?
“Do not worry, saying: ‘What shall we
eat?’ or: ‘What shall we drink?’ or:
‘What shall we wear’
”All these things the Gentiles seek.
“Your Heavenly Father knows that you
need all these things.
“Seek first the Kingdom of God, and
His Righteousness, and all these

Now when Jesus Rose early on the first
day of the week, He appeared first to
Mary Magdalene, out of whom He
had cast seven demons.
She went and told those who had been
with Him, as they mourned and wept.
And when they heard that He was alive
and had been seen by her, they did
not believe.

After that, He appeared in another form
to two of them as they walked and
went into the country.
They went and told it to the rest, but
they did not believe them either.
Later He appeared to the Eleven as they
sat at the table; and He rebuked their
unbelief and hardness of heart,
because they did not believe those
who had seen Him after He had
Risen.
And He said to them, “Go into all the
world and preach the Gospel to
every creature. He who believeth
and is Baptised will be saved; but he
who doth not believe will be
condemned. And these Signs will
follow those who believeth: In My
Name they will cast out demons;
they will speak with new tongues;
they will take up serpents and if
they drink anything deadly, it will
by no means hurt them; they will
lay hands on the sick, and they will
recover.”
After our Lord had spoken to them, He
was received up into Heaven, and sat
down at the right Hand of God.
They went out and preached
everywhere, the Lord working with
them and confirming the Word
through the accompanying Signs.
Amen.

– S T KY RIAKE
In an era when the deceptive error of
idolatry was prevalent throughout
the world, O Lovers of Christ, a man
more profane and inhuman that all
others ruled, and the abominable
and notorious religion of godless
pagans was practised. Multitudes
obeyed that Ruler’s utterly godless
pronouncements, for those who
refused to submit to his impiety
were threatened with harsh and
torturous death. But the Martyr of
Christ spat in contempt on the
tyrants’ godless edicts and threats.
In the centre of the stadium she
proclaimed Christ our God and
trampled down the foe. Wherefore
she remained true to her name
which means “mastery’ for SHE
CONTROLLED SINFUL PASSIONS AND HER
MIND
