Veneration of the Precious Chains of the Apostle Peter
(January 16)

Without leaving Rome, thou didst come to us by the precious chains which thou didst wear, O Peter, foremost of the Apostles. And worshipping them, with faith, we pray: By thine intercessions with God, grant us Great Mercy. (Apolytikion in Tone 4)

Saints of the Day

Venerable George the Chozebite; Venerable Agathonos of Egypt; Venerable Domnica of Constantinople and Venerable Makarios; Emilianos the Confessor, bishop of Kyzikos; Martyr Theophilos the deacon of Libya; Cyros and Atticos, patriarchs of Constantinople; New-martyr Kyran; Venerable Gregory of the Kiev Caves.

Thought for the Day

“It is not one’s own efforts which lead to the goal, because without grace, efforts produce little. Nor does grace without effort bring what is sought, because grace acts in us and for us through our efforts.” -- St. Theophan the Recluse
