           Grant 
        that we, 
         walking 
     in the way
    of the cross, 
     may find it
      none other 
         than the way of life and peace.
 * Macrina 340- 379, 
monastic, theologian, teacher, she "founded one of the ealiest Christian communities iin Cappadocia n the city of Pontes."  She is sister to both Gregory of Nyssa and Basil the Great, who, togther with Gregory the Great, are known as The Cap-padocian Fathers." Although not ad-ded to the calendar until far, far later, being female and so not part of the  power structure of the church, her brother Gregory credits Macrina as the spiritual and theological intelligence behind her siblings notable careers in the church.  So, add to her titles, 
glue and inspiration.
