Tomorrow, September 25, we celebrate Sergius (1314-1392)Abbot of Holy Trinity Moscow, a patron saint of Russia and national hero.

  

                           Based on Psalm, 87: 3,6 

I count

Babylon 

+ Egypt 

among those who know me, 

behold, Allepo, Tehran + Sudan, 

in Zion were they born. The singers 

and the dancers will say “All my fresh 

                         springs are in you.” 

Sergius was simple + gentle in nature, mystical in tem-perament, + eager to ensure that his monks should serve the meeds of their neighbors. -Holy Women, Holy Men
