Holy Father, bless us with joy and serenity. Fill our hearts with the light of Saint Lucy. Bring everyone to get back to their senses and consider the actual beauty of everyday’s life.


AGENDA

Today we celebrate Saint Lucy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Lucy

Like many of the early martyrs, Lucy had consecrated her virginity to God, and she hoped to distribute her dowry to the poor. However, [her mother] Eutychia, not knowing of Lucy's promise, and suffering from a bleeding disorder, feared for Lucy's future. She arranged Lucy's marriage to a young man of a wealthy pagan family. Eutychia was persuaded to make a pilgrimage to Catania, in hopes of a cure. While there, St. Agatha came to Lucy in a dream and told her that because of her faith her mother would be cured and that Lucy would be the glory of Syracuse, as she was of Catania. With her mother cured, Lucy took the opportunity to persuade her mother to allow her to distribute a great part of her riches among the poor. Eutychia suggested that the sums would make a good bequest, but Lucy countered, "...whatever you give away at death for the Lord's sake you give because you cannot take it with you. Give now to the true Savior, while you are healthy, whatever you intended to give away at your death." News that the patrimony and jewels were being distributed came to Lucy's betrothed, who denounced her to Paschasius, the Governor of Syracuse. Paschasius ordered her to burn a sacrifice to the emperor's image. When she refused, Paschasius sentenced her to be defiled in a brothel. The Christian tradition states that when the guards came to take her away, they could not move her even when they hitched her to a team of oxen. Bundles of wood were then heaped about her and set on fire, but would not burn. Finally, she met her death by the sword thrust into her throat.

YouVersion Bible verse of the day

  • Psalm 126:5: They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

THE NUMBER 771

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/700_(number)#770s :

  • 771 = 3 × 257
  • sum of three consecutive primes in arithmetic progression (251 + 257 + 263)
  • Since 771 is the product of the distinct Fermat primes 3 and 257, a regular polygon with 771 sides can be constructed using compass and straightedge, and cos( 2π / 771 ) can be written in terms of square roots.

Also:

  • 771 = 17 x 45 + 6

[God sent me before you to preserve you as a remnant on the earth and to save your lives by a great deliverance.]…

For out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks. [Why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ but not do what I say?]…
  • Mark 6:45: Immediately He made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, to Bethsaida, while He sent the multitude away.
