Gospel: Luke 7:11-16 11 Now it happened, the day after, that He went into a city called Nain; and many of His disciples went with Him, and a large crowd. 12 And when He came near the gate of the city, behold, a dead man was being carried out, the only son of his mother; and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the city was with her. 13 When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said to her, “Do not weep.” 14 Then He came and touched the open coffin, and those who carried him stood still. And He said, “Young man, I say to you, arise.” 15 So he who was dead sat up and began to speak. And He presented him to his mother. 16 Then fear came upon all, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has risen up among us”; and, “God has visited His people.” 17 And this report about Him went throughout all Judea and all the surrounding region. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ☦️Liturgical Items for Purchase: 🗓️Purchase the 2026 Western Rite Wall Calendar Here: https://www.stpatrickorthodox.org/cal... 📖Purchase the 2026 Western Rite Ordo Here: https://www.lulu.com/shop/v-rev-john-... #Christianity #OrthodoxChristianity #OrthodoxWest #WesternRite #WesternRiteOrthodoxy #OrthodoxFaith #OrthodoxChurch #orthodoxy #antiochianorthodox #faith #jesus
