This Thursday, June 4, is the feast of Sts. Martha and Mary

“Formerly, you dwelt in the town of Bethany, now in Heaven, you abide in Paradise, where the Lord’s countenance shines. For with fervent longing, you gave your hearts and souls to Him Who is the Life and Resurrection; as you stand on high, O Mary and Martha, entreat Him to grant salvation to us.” -Kontakion

The springtime of truth hath arrived in splendor and reneweth creation with the pious knowledge of Christ the Bestower of life; wherefore, the athlete of the Lord, manifestly enlightened in mind, trampled the machinations of the enemy underfoot.

Waging war for the King of the ages, O all-wise one, thou didst cast down all the legions of the iniquitous, O thrice-blessed George, and wast shown to be a steadfast athlete through the grace given thee by God, O wonder-worker; wherefore, pray thou that we be saved.

Thou bestowest streams of healing upon those who have recourse to thee, O thrice-blessed George; and thou art the helper of the souls and bodies of those who with fervent faith have recourse unto thy protection, O right wondrous martyr of Jesus, adornment of athletes.

——
The Holy & Glorious Great Martyr & Wonder-worker George the Victorious is commemorated April 23 (May 6).

Christ is Risen!

The Sunday of the Myrrh-Bearing Women celebrates the courage of the first people to witness the empty tomb. These faithful and determined women refused to abandon Christ even when everything seemed lost. While the disciples hid in fear, these women moved forward in love, carrying myrrh and hope to the place of His burial. Their bravery shows us that faith isn’t just believing; it’s choosing to act even when the path feels uncertain.

They didn’t know how they would roll away the stone, but they went anyway — and God met them there. Their story reminds us that God works powerfully through anyone who shows up with love and trust. As young people, you’re called to that same boldness in your own life. When challenges feel heavy or the future unclear, remember the Myrrh-Bearers and take the next faithful step. Christ honors courage, even small courage, and He transforms it into joy.

As you leave the Divine Liturgy today, choose one way to live like a Myrrh-Bearer this week. Show up for someone, offer kindness, or bring hope where it’s needed. Let their fearless love inspire your own walk with the Risen Christ.
