Glory to Jesus Christ! Glory for ever!

Slava Isusu Christu! Slava i vo viki!

From the Fathers…

St. Gregory of Nyssa
The Lord inspires and sustains our wavering hope. He set Peter’s feet firm on the
surface of the water when the apostle began to sink. When he sees us drowning in
our doubts and worries, he stretches out his hand, which is the Word, and
enlightens our mind; if we walk hand in hand with Him, we will know no fear.
