For by gold the power of a king is signified, by frankincense the honor of God,
by myrrh the burial of the body;
and accordingly they offer Him
gold as King, frankincense as God, myrrh as Man.
— St John Chrysostom

Please remember in your prayers:
– those who are sick, suffering, fearful or in need, remembering those suffering from COVID-19 and their caregivers, doctors and nurses:
– for peace within our country, and in the world, remembering the countries of Ukraine and Iran; we pray for areas of unrest and riots, asking for wise discernment in our leaders;
– for those who have died and those who mourn;
– for the poor, the homeless, and the needy in our communities;
– the victims of violence and natural disasters;
– our Indigenous brothers and sisters, and their leaders in our diocese and country;
