Dear Readers and Supporters: Last March I told you about an anonymous long time friend and supporter of this ministry who fell on hard times, and a generous portion of you volunteered to help her financially to prevent her eviction and car repossession. Unfortunately, once again she and her child are in a similar difficult position, though a little bit worse. I hate to see this happen to her and not try to help in any way. So if once again you can help out with a financial contribution, it would be greatly appreciated. You can contribute to her through the link below. My hope is that we can raise around $3000. Thank you.

Symeon the Stylite and Joshua the Son of Nun as Two Supreme Models for the Christian Life


In the letter of Saint Symeon the Stylite to Bishop Basil of Antioch, he encourages him with the following words to be faithful to the decisions of the Fourth Ecumenical Synod:

"Wherefore be strong and brave in the cause of true piety, as was also Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, in behalf of the children of Israel."

Both Saint Symeon the Stylite and the Righteous Joshua the Son of Nun are celebrated in the Orthodox Church on September 1st, supreme models of the Christian life on the ecclesiastical new year, for being examples of humble obedience, steadfast faithfulness, and relentless fighters against the enemies of the Lord.
