Wisdom From The Elders<\/h2>\n
A wandering mind is made stable by reading, vigil and prayer. Flaming lust is extinguished by hunger, labor and solitude. Stirrings of anger are calmed by psalmody, magnanimity and mercifulness. All this has its effect when used at its proper time and in due measure. Everything untimely or without proper measure is short-lived; and short-lived things are more harmful than useful. Abba Evagrius the Monk<\/strong><\/p>\nSelf-restraint follows humility, but spacious living is united to love of glory. Venerable Isaac the Syrian, bishop of Nineveh<\/strong><\/p>\nThere is nothing impossible unto those who believe; lively and unshaken faith can accomplish great miracles in the twinkling of an eye. Besides, even without our sincere and firm faith, miracles are accomplished, such as the miracles of the sacraments. Righteous John, Wonderworker of Kronstadt<\/strong><\/p>\n[From St. Symeon’s life] And the Elder often renewed his exhortations to him[St. Symeon] to be firm and endure everything manfully, and especially to strive to so attune his soul that it might above all be meek, humble, simple, and without malice, because only in such souls is the grace of the Holy Spirit accustomed to dwell. Venerable Symeon the New Theologian<\/strong><\/p>\nDo not boast of your possessions. Do not envy the possessions of someone else. Fr. Jack Sparks<\/strong><\/p>\nA certain father said, “If you are captivated by carnal beauty, go to a cemetery and see what the end of such beauty is.” Elder Sergei of Vanves<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/div>\n
Remember in Your Prayers<\/h2>\n
The Prayer List has been revamped. To bring order to the list we will do the following:<\/p>\n
\n- Names will remain on the list for two months.<\/li>\n
- If you would like to keep them on longer please mention it to Fr. Hans. We will keep the names on the list for as long as the person needs prayers.<\/li>\n
- Names will include the person who requested the prayers and the month the name will be removed.<\/li>\n
- The permanent list includes friends and members of St. Peter’s and others including shut-ins.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Were names dropped that should have remained? Please mention it to Fr. Hans. He will add them back.<\/em><\/p>\nCurrent Prayer List<\/strong> (Updated December 1 \/ Resets December 1<\/em>)<\/p>\n\nPauline (Jacobse 2\/21>

EPISTLE<\/h4>\n
For St. Nicholas<\/p>\n
Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.
\nWhat shall I render to the Lord for all that He has given me?<\/p>\n
The Reading from the Epistle of St. Paul to the Hebrews. (13:17-21)<\/p>\n
\nBrethren, obey your leaders and submit to them; for they are keeping watch over your souls, as men who will have to give account. Let them do this joyfully, and not sadly, for that would be of no advantage to you. Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a clear conscience, desiring to act honorably in all things. I urge you the more earnestly to do this in order that I may be restored to you the sooner. Now may the God of peace Who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, equip you with everything good that you may do His will, working in you that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ; to Whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

GOSPEL<\/h4>\n
For the Tenth Sunday of Luke<\/p>\n
The Reading from the Holy Gospel according to St. Luke. (13:10-17)<\/p>\n
\nAt that time, Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath. And there was a woman who had had a spirit of infirmity for eighteen years; she was bent over and could not fully straighten herself. And when Jesus saw her, He called her and said to her, “Woman, you are freed from your infirmity.” And He laid His hands upon her, and immediately she was made straight, and she praised God. But the ruler of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the people, “There are six days on which work ought to be done; come on those days and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day.” Then the Lord answered him, “You hypocrite! Does not each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or his ass from the manger, and lead it away to water it? And ought not this woman, a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan bound for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath day?” As Jesus said this, all His adversaries were put to shame; and all the people rejoiced at all the glorious things that were done by Him.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
