On the synaxis of St. John the Holy Glorious Prophet, Baptist, & Forerunner (January 7), Fr. Thomas reminds the faithful that we are called to evangelize, sometimes in unconventional and unexpected ways.
On this day, please pray for the hieromonks, monks, nuns, and lay associates of St. John the Baptist Monastery (Essex, UK), which was founded by St. Sophrony. Their commitment to the Jesus Prayer, teaching, iconography, monastic hospitality, and helping people of all backgrounds to become healthy of mind, body, and spirit, has made, and will continue to make, a lasting impact on the lives of many.
Through the intercession of St. John the Forerunner, may God grant them many years!
