Daily Scripture Reading for Monday, January 22, 2024
Epistle Reading: Hebrews 3:5-11, 17-19
5 And Moses indeed was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which would be spoken afterward,
6 but Christ as a Son over His own house, whose house we are if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end.
7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you will hear His voice,
Gospel Reading: Luke 20:27-44
27 Then some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is a resurrection, came to Him and asked Him,
28 saying: “Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man’s brother dies, having a wife, and he dies without children, his brother should take his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.

Apostle Timothy of the Seventy (96)
LISTEN to a short reading on the life of Apostle Timothy, one of the 70 Holy Apostles, read by Fr. Ambrose Inlow of Ss. Peter and Paul Orthodox Church in Syracuse, N.Y.
Orthodox Christians were among the tens of thousands participating in last Friday’s ‘March for Life’ in Washington, D.C., including church members from ‘Christ the Savior’.
Orthodox bishop John Abdalah addressed the crowd, observing that “by protecting and speaking for those least able and most vulnerable of our brethren, the unborn, we show ourselves to be co-workers in Christ’s own priesthood and ministry.”
A LifeSite News article highlighted the Bishop’s speech in which he said “the world has forsaken God” and that Christians must use their lives as “an opportunity to know God, to share His way, (and) to live in Him.”
Abdalah’s remarks focused on how modern man has fallen away from God but also on how he must return to Him.
“The postmodern world has abandoned God, life, and peace to pursue self-gratification through science and consumerism,” he said. “Life requires our putting away of immature ways and a holy submission to God Himself.”
