Today’s reading brings us the lives of beloved monastic fathers, ascetics, and faithful witnesses to Christ commemorated on January 17 according to the Orthodox calendar:
✨ Venerable and God-bearing Father Anthony the Great — the Father of Christian monasticism whose life of ascetic struggle in the desert shaped generations of monks and believers.
✨ Venerable Anthony of Dymsk, Novgorod — a Russian monk whose devotion and monastic witness reflected the spirit of humility and prayer.
✨ Venerable Anthony of Chernoezero — founder of monastic life at the Black Lake, shining as a light of ascetic perseverance.
✨ Saint Anthony of Krasny Kholm — a wilderness dweller whose life of prayer nourished many.
✨ Emperor Theodosius the Great — holy emperor who defended the Orthodox faith and extinguished pagan worship.
✨ Venerable Achilles — a desert hermit whose ascetic life testified to the transforming power of Christ.
May the witness of these holy men — from desert fathers to righteous rulers — inspire steadfast faith, humble obedience, and continuous prayer in your own spiritual journey. ☦️
