Phos hilaron

O gladsome light, O grace
Of God the Father's face,
The eternal splendour wearing;
Celestial, holy, blest,
Our Saviour Jesus Christ,
Joyful in thine appearing.

Now, ere day fadeth quite,
We see the evening light,
Our wonted hymn outpouring;
Father of might unknown,
Thee, his incarnate Son,
And Holy Spirit adoring.

To thee of right belongs
All praise of holy songs,
O Son of God, Lifegiver;
Thee, therefore, O Most High,
The world doth glorify,
And shall exalt forever.

“From Mother’s Day to Memorial Day, not to mention the unofficial kickoff of graduation and wedding season, May is full of holidays and celebratory events. But one special day routinely flies under the radar: May 13.

One of America’s most important leaders, Frances Perkins, is recognized as a “Holy Woman” by the Episcopal Church on that day. The country’s first female and longest-serving secretary of labor, Perkins was the chief architect of Social Security and other “New Deal” programs during her time in the Franklin Delano Roosevelt administration. Since 2009, she has been honored in the Episcopal liturgical calendar with a Feast Day on May 13, recognizing her lifetime of good deeds and steady faith.”

Frances Perkins' faith in God inspired her longtime public service and was a source of strength throughout her life.

“From the time these things were first revealed I had often wanted to know what was our Lord's meaning. It was more than fifteen years after that I was answered in my spirit's understanding. "You would know our Lord's meaning in this thing? Know it well. Love was His meaning. Who showed it to you? Love. What did He show you? Love. Why did He show it? For love. Hold on to this and you will know and understand love more and more. But you will not know or learn anything else – ever."
Feast Day of Julian of Norwich
