Psalm 30:7-8
While I felt se-cure I said, “I shall never be disturbed.
You, Lord, are as
strong as the mountains.”
Then you hid your face
and I was filled with fear.
You, Lord, are as
strong as the mountains.”
Then you hid your face
and I was filled with fear.
The Lutheran New Book of Festivals.... reads “A perennial necessity for Christianity is to make connections between the claims of the gospel and the needs and interests of the current age, while clearing away misunderstandings, prejudices and slanders. ” It says that Justin is perhaps the greatest such figure between the apostles and Irenaeus. Justin is celebrated today in both the East and the West.
Prayers today are suggested for:
*Those who search for truth, especially philosophers and theologians.
*Those who defend the faith against the doubts of those who cannot believe.
* those who preserve and interpret the liturgical traditions of the church.
“No one believes in Socrates to the point of dying for what he taught... but for the sake of Christ not only phil-osophers and scholars but even laborers and uneducated people have scorned fame, fear and death.” Justin
