Divine Liturgy for the Sunday after Christmas, the Commemoration of the Holy and Righteous Joseph the Betrothed, David the King, and James the Brother of God, December 29, 2024
SUNDAY AFTER CHRISTMAS. MEMORY OF THE HOLY AND JUST JOSEPH, HUSBAND OF MARY; OF DAVID, PROPHET AND KING; AND OF THE HOLY APOSTLE JAMES – December 29th, 2024
Lord our God, you journeyed to Egypt with your family to be protected from evil. On this holy day we beseech you to protect your faithful who love you, and call men and women to be spiritual fathers and mothers who bring that protection to your children, granting your Church an increase of vocations to the priesthood, diaconate in Christ, minor orders and monastic life, we pray you hear and have mercy.
“Out of Egypt I have called my son.” The righteous Joseph the betrothed was faithful to his calling, protecting Jesus and the Theotokos by journeying to Egypt and returning to Nazareth. Our Lord calls each one of us out of the spiritual Egypt of our lives so that we may live in the promised land meant for our lives. Is he calling you to a life of holy orders or monasticism?
