"As the Holy Trinity, our God, is One Being, although Three Persons,
so, likewise, we ourselves must be one. As our God is indivisible, we
also must be indivisible, as though we were one man, one mind, one
will, one heart, one goodness, without the smallest admixture of
malice -- in a word, one pure love, as God is Love. 'That they may be
one, even as We are One" (Jn. 17:22)."
St. John of Kronstadt.

The Bible reading for the 15th of Toba, January 24th, is:
13 But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut up
the kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither go in yourselves,
nor do you allow those who are entering to go in. 14 Woe to you,
scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you devour widows' houses, and
for a pretense make long prayers. Therefore you will receive greater
condemnation. 15 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For
you travel land and sea to win one proselyte, and when he is won, you
make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves. 16 Woe to you,
blind guides, who say, `Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing;
but whoever swears by the gold of the temple, he is obliged to perform
it.' 17 Fools and blind! For which is greater, the gold or the temple
that sanctifies the gold? 18 And, `Whoever swears by the altar, it is
nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is obliged
to perform it.' 19 Fools and blind! For which is greater, the gift or
the altar that sanctifies the gi
ft? 20 Therefore he who swears by the altar, swears by it and by all
things on it. 21 He who swears by the temple, swears by it and by Him
who dwells in it. 22 And he who swears by heaven, swears by the throne
of God and by Him who sits on it. 23 Woe to you, scribes and
Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin,
and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy
and faith. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others
undone. 24 Blind guides, who strain out a gnat and swallow a camel! 25
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you cleanse the
outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of extortion and
self-indulgence. 26 Blind Pharisee, first cleanse the inside of the
cup and dish, that the outside of them may be clean also. 27 Woe to
you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed
tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of
dead men's bones and all uncleanne
ss. 28 Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inside
you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness. 29 Woe to you, scribes and
Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you build the tombs of the prophets and
adorn the monuments of the righteous, 30 and say, `If we had lived in
the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in
the blood of the prophets.' 31 Therefore you are witnesses against
yourselves that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets. 32
Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers' guilt. 33 Serpents, brood
of vipers! How can you escape the condemnation of hell? 34 Therefore,
indeed, I send you prophets, wise men, and scribes: some of them you
will kill and crucify, and some of them you will scourge in your
synagogues and persecute from city to city, 35 that on you may come
all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous
Abel to the blood of Zechariah, son of Berechiah, whom you murdered
between the temple and the alta
r. 36 Assuredly, I say to you, all these things will come upon this
generation. (Matt. 23:13-36)
Departure of Obadiah, the Prophet.
The Bible reading for the 16th of Toba, January 25th, is: Luke 12:4-12
Martyrdom of St. Philotheus.
Departure of St. John IV, 48th Pope of Alexandria.
