The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth. He healed the sick, raised the dead, and preached the Good News to the poor. He was crucified for our sins, died, and was buried. On the third day, He rose again, conquering death and offering eternal life to all who believe.
Let us worship Him, the King of Glory, who sits at the right hand of the Father, interceding for us always.

In the beginning, the Spirit hovered over the waters, bringing forth life and order from chaos. At Pentecost, He descended as tongues of fire upon the apostles, empowering them to speak in different languages and spread the Gospel to all nations. He is the comforter, the advocate, the source of wisdom and understanding. We worship the #HolySpirit, the Lord, the Giver of Life, who proceeds from the Father, who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified, who spoke by the prophets. May His gifts of grace, truth, and love fill our hearts and guide our paths.

Paraschiva, as a young girl, upon hearing the Gospel read in church, gave away her clothes to a beggar. Her family, upset by her actions, was not pleased by her behavior. This event marked the beginning of her life dedicated to poverty and Christ. She later left home to live in Constantinople and then the Jordanian desert.
Holy #Paraschiva, intercede for us, and inspire us to embrace selfless giving and devotion in our lives.
