The ringing of the bells during the consecration of the holy gifts gets me every single time. 🥲☦️

Holy Apostle and Evangelist Luke
Born in Antioch, Saint Luke was a physician who studied philosophy, medicine, and art. Hearing of Christ, Luke came to Jerusalem and saw the Savior face to face, heard His teachings, and witnessed His works. The resurrected Lord appeared to Saint Luke and Cleopas on the road to Emmaus. Luke joined Saint Paul on his second missionary journey, bringing many pagans and jews to Christ. After Paul's martyrdom, Luke taught the true faith in Macedonia, Dalmatia, and Italy. At the request of the Christians, Saint Luke wrote both his Gospel and the Acts of the Apostles. Luke painted three icons of the most holy Mother of God and icons of Peter and Paul, and is regarded as the founder of Christian iconography. In his old age, he traveled to Libya and Egypt, then returned to Greece, where he labored with great zeal. At the age of 84, Saint Luke was martyred by pagans for the sake of Christ and hanged from an olive tree in the town of Thebes. ☦️

A really nice sale on some revisionist history.
Woe to those who are rich, who are full, who laugh, and who are praised. But good shall come to those who endure every wrongful accusation, beating, robbery, or compulsory difficulty. This is completely opposite to what people usually think and feel!
The thoughts of God are as far from human thoughts as heaven is from the earth. How else could it be? We are in exile; and it is not remarkable for those in exile to be offended and insulted. We are under a penance; the penance consists of deprivations and labors. We are sick; and most useful for the sick are bitter medicines.
The Savior Himself all of His life did not have a place to lay His head, and He finished his life on the cross — why should his followers have a better lot? The Spirit of Christ is the spirit of preparedness to suffer and bear good-naturedly all that is sorrowful.

I will be snagging this. For those interested, Pageau has been going through this in his Universal History series with Dcn. Seraphim.
Smokin up some short rib this afternoon.
Local butchery that deals only with local food had bone in for 5.99/lb.
For reference, Costco had bone in for 13.99/lb.

Saint Dionysius the Areopagite
The holy hieromartyr Dionysius the Areopagite was baptized by the holy apostle Paul and is numbered among the Seventy Apostles. Before his baptism, Saint Dionysius grew up in a prominent family in Athens, attended philosophical school, and was married and had several children. He was a respected member of the highest court in Greece, the Areopagus. After converting to the True Faith, he was consecrated Bishop of Athens. He joined Saint Paul in missionary travel, leaving his family for Christ. In Jerusalem, he visited the Mother of God and was present at her Dormition. Witnessing the martyrdom of Paul in Rome, Dionysius desired to be martyred as well. He went to Gaul with his presbyter Rusticus and deacon Eleutherius, preaching the Gospel to the barbarians. There, his suffering was equalled only by his success in bringing so many pagans to the Christian faith. In the year 96, Saint Dionysius and his two companions were seized and tortured for Christ, and all three were beheaded.
A blessed Lord's day to my brothers and sisters in Christ. Nativity season is fast approaching!
He who keeps silent about the truth conceals Christ in a tomb... It is not right, it is not lawful, it is not fitting for those of right belief to be silent at all when those eager to promote deception and error violate the laws of God.
☦️St. Meletios the Confessor

“During the 6th century, the Jews saw Christianity spreading and embracing the whole world. They wanted, however, by every means, to halt this expansion. The rapid progress of the faith and teaching of Christ troubled them. At that time, the invisible Jewish council, the Sanhedrin, convened and created an anti-Christian religion: Mohammedanism. Few people, perhaps, know that the religion of Islam was not the work of the illiterate and crude Muhammad, but of the Jews. Few have learned that Mohammedanism is a Jewish construct, because all sources of information on this matter are deliberately destroyed by those concerned. Who today knows that Muhammad himself was Jewish on his mother’s side.”
“Who knows that at least three of his wives were Jewish, and that he himself was possessed?
Who has ever learned that his entire circle consisted of Jewish satanists (magicians, astrologers, and occultists), led by the notorious Jewish cousin of his wife, Waraqah?
The satanic luciferian agents of the “Sanhedrin” succeeded in making the illiterate, uneducated, epileptic, and demon-possessed Bedouin Muhammad into a false prophet. They elevated him in order to spread, by the violence of the sword, a false religion and thus strike Christianity.
But what was the result of this hostile stance of the Jews against Christ? What did the luciferians of the Sanhedrin gain from the creation of Islam?
They created the worst and most deadly enemy of Judaism.
The first Jewish blood was shed by Muhammad himself, and his followers continue this work today.
It has not been long since 510 million Arabs took a solemn oath to eliminate from the face of the earth even the last Jew.
600 million Muslims, whom the Jews created to strike Christianity, are ready to destroy the Israelites instead—and not the Christians, as had originally been planned.
You see, therefore, reader, that God has returned upon their own heads the arrows they hurled against Christianity.”

Thought he is a papist, I think this solidifies E. Michael Jones thesis in his book "Logos Rising".
