The Wedding at Cana of Galilee, celebrated 13 Tobe/21 January
QUOTE OF THE WEEK
“In the beginning there is struggle and a lot of work for those who come near to God. But after that there is indescribable joy. It is just like building a fire: at first it is smoky and your eyes water, but later you get the desired result. Thus we ought to light the divine fire in ourselves with tears and effort.” - Amma Syncletica
