Re: Sacred Scripture readings in preparation for Great Lent
Yesterday, Thursday, February 22/March 7
Feast day of the Martyrs of Eugenius
The Epistle reading was taken from 1 John 4:20-21, 5:1-21.
4: 20. If someone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar;
for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen,
how can he love God whom he has not seen?
4: 21. And this commandment we have from Him:
that he who loves God must love his brother also.
May we love and pray for each other.

The Epistle Reading is I Cor. 11: 23-28
27. Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord
in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.- But let a man examine himself,
and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup.
- But let a man examine himself,
Lord have mercy on me a sinner.
