PEACE AND GRACE!
St. Thomas the Apostle, commemorated on 26 Pashons/ 3 June
QUOTE OF THE WEEK
The purer the heart is, the larger it is, and the more able it is to find room within it for a greater number of beloved ones; while the more sinful it is, the more contracted it becomes, and the less number of beloved can it find room for, because it is limited by self-love, and that love is a false one.
+St. John of Kronstadt

APOSTLES' FAST
We are in the midst of the Apostles' Fast, which will culminate the Feast of Sts. Peter and Paul on July 12th. As the Apostles fasted in preparation for their mission to spread the Gospel to all peoples, let us take advantage of this time to examine and prepare our own hearts. We should be participating in the fast with our brothers and sisters to the best of our abilities and in under the direction of our spiritual fathers.
FOCUS SAN DIEGO
Join volunteers from Orthodox parishes in San Diego every Wednesday to serve with FOCUS to help provide meals for the hungry at 1625 Island Ave., San Diego, CA 92101. Help is needed with cooking, serving, and clean up from 3:00 p.m. onwards. Children are always welcome! If you have any questions, please contact Mary Jensen.
