“The one who saves his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will obtain it.” The saints show us the meaning of Christ’s words, when they obtained life by giving their lives for the sake of Christ. Serving as a monk, nun, priest, deacon or in minor orders is one way to lose one’s life. This may be your calling to grow in Christ. Contact the Vocations Office at 206-329-9219 or email: vocations@ephx.org
Before the public Divine Liturgy begins, the priest prepares the bread that will become the Eucharist. He commemorates nine different classes of saints by putting a particle of bread for each class onto the diskos next to the large “lamb” that represents Christ himself. (There is also a large particle placed to represent the Theotokos). These nine classes are… Angels, prophets, apostles, hierarchs, martyrs, fathers, charitable wonder-workers, “ancestors of God” like Mary’s parents Joachim and Anna, and the saint(s) of the day. Together they represent all the saints gathered in the kingdom of God. Blessed feast of All Saints!
