Citing of the Week
"Failure to see grace in a situation is not only unhelpful, it is sacrilegious: We are profaning the sacred, the presence of the Spirit."

FEAST OF NICHOLAS, BISHOP
The people’s bishop
Even if church leadership makes you tear your hair out sometimes, you’ve got to love this bishop. Nicholas was a fourth-century superhero: saving poor girls from prostitution by providing them with dowries, restoring murdered boys to life, advising sailors how to navigate through storms, rescuing men consigned to execution, feeding a city on the brink of famine—and in his spare time arguing against heresies at the Council of Nicaea. What a diocese this Turkish prelate must have run! Pray that your local leader might have the patronage and guidance of this great saint.
