Great Lent:

REMEMBER ME, O LORD, WHEN THOU COMEST INTO THY KINGDOM!

"O Lord and Master of my life, take from me the spirit of sloth, meddling, lust of power, and idle talk. But give rather the spirit of chastity, humility, patience and love to thy servant. Yea, O Lord and King, grant me to see my own sins and not judge my brother, for Thou art blessed unto ages of ages. Amen." -- The Prayer of St. Ephraim the Syrian

Feast, Saints, and A Thought for the Day

Fifth Sunday of Great Lent: Commemoration of Mother Mary of Egypt (March 21)

Through thee, the divine likeness was securely preserved, O mother Mary; for thou didst carry the cross and follow Christ. By example and precept thou didst teach us to ignore the body, because it is perishable, and to attend to the concerns of the undying soul. Therefore, doth thy soul rejoice with the angels. (Apolytikion in Tone 8)

Saints of the Day

Martyr Agapios of Palestine and those with him; Apostle Aristoboulos of the Seventy, first bishop of Britain; New-martyrs Manuel of Crete and Parthenios.

Thought for the Day

"Grant us, O our Lord to rejoice in Thee, and mayest Thou rejoice in us in the last day. To Thee is praise, from the spirit, soul and body. And unto us be Thy mercies." -- St Ephraim the Syrian
