(7th century) Epistle: Ephesians 2:14-22 Gospel: St. Luke 8:41-56 TWENTY-FOURTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST – November 3rd, 2024 O Physician of souls and bodies, we thank you for liberating us from sin and curing us of our spiritual illnesses. On this holy day we beseech you to bring to your Church more servants who would share this healing by living lives as faithful clergy and monastics. Give those called by you to these vocations eyes to see and faith to live always in your grace, we pray you hear and have mercy. “Daughter, be of good cheer! Your faith has made you well. Go in peace.” Our merciful Savior brought healing to the ill because he loves us all. By dedicating our lives to more prayer and devotion to him through a vocation to holy orders and monastic lives, this healing can be extended to the world. Is this something that may be in store for your future? Contact the Vocations Office at: [email protected] Please be generous and consider a gift by visiting: https://stjohnchrysostom.org/one-time...
