Reflections and Daily Inspiration
“If you become rich, consider whether or not you could worthily bear poverty. If you are happy, imagine how you could worthily meet unhappiness. When people praise you, think how you might worthily bear insult. And, all your life, think how you might worthily meet death.”

— St. Nikolai Velimirovich,

MONTENEGRO: PROCESSIONS AGAINST ANTI-CHURCH LAW TO RESUME ON SUNDAY

The peaceful cross processions of the Serbian Orthodox Church in Montenegro in protest of the anti-Church law passed in December that grants the authorities the right to confiscate Church property will resume again this coming Sunday, June 14, the feast of All Saints.
The twice-weekly processions, in which hundreds of thousands of citizens of Montenegro participated since late December, were interrupted due to the state’s coronavirus quarantine measures.
SAINT OF THE DAY

 JUNE 10 / MAY 28
Saint Nicetas, Confessor and Bishop of Chalcedon, with his kinsmen Sts. Nicetas and Ignatius (9th c.)

He renounced the world in his youth and withdrew to a life of mo- nastic asceticism. Shining like the sun with virtues, he was noticed by the heads of the Church and was elevated to the episcopal throne of Chalcedon. As a bishop, he was especially merciful toward the less fortunate, and he greatly concerned himself with the welfare of orphans, widows and the poor. When the evil Leo the Armenian rose up against the icons, Nicetas courageously stood up in their defense, denouncing the emperor and explaining their meaning. Consequently, he endured great humiliation, calumny and imprisonment. He was finally exiled for his confession of the Faith, and in labors and sufferings presented himself to the Lord to receive a wreath of glory in the Kingdom of God.
