  • Holy Father, bless us with a serene Sunday, day of rest and worship. Give us enough focus to anticipate the joyous events of the week as well as the complicated ones. Keep us prepaired for we only want our surprises to be great.*

AGENDA

Today we celebrate Barlaam and Josaphat: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barlaam_and_Josaphat

King Abenner in India persecuted the Christian Church in his realm, founded by the Apostle Thomas. When astrologers predicted that his own son would some day become a Christian, Abenner had the young prince Josaphat isolated from external contact. Despite the imprisonment, Josaphat met the hermit Saint Barlaam and converted to Christianity. Josaphat kept his faith even in the face of his father's anger and persuasion. Eventually Abenner converted, turned over his throne to Josaphat, and retired to the desert to become a hermit. Josaphat himself later abdicated and went into seclusion with his old teacher Barlaam.
