Orthodox Daily Devotional<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Life of Saint<\/span>
\n<\/strong>This Sunday is\u00a0<\/span>dedicated to All Saints, both those who are known to us, and those who are known only to God. There have been saints at all times, and they have come from every corner of the earth. They were Apostles, Martyrs, Prophets, Hierarchs, Monastics, and Righteous, yet all were perfected by the same Holy Spirit.\u00a0This feast may have originated at an early date, perhaps as a celebration of all martyrs, then it was broadened to include all men and women who had borne witness to Christ by their virtuous lives, even if they did not shed their blood for Him.<\/p>\n

Scripture Reading<\/span>
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Matthew 10 32\u00a0<\/sup>\u201cTherefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven. 33\u00a0<\/sup>But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven\u2026 37\u00a0<\/sup>He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. 38\u00a0<\/sup>And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me\u2026 27\u00a0<\/sup>Then Peter answered and said to Him, \u201cSee, we have left all and followed You. Therefore what shall we have?\u201d 28\u00a0<\/sup>So Jesus said to them, \u201cAssuredly I say to you, that in the regeneration, when the Son of Man sits on the throne of His glory, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29\u00a0<\/sup>And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife[<\/sup>k<\/sup><\/a>]<\/sup> or children or lands, for My name\u2019s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life. 30\u00a0<\/sup>But many who are<\/em> first will be last, and the last first.<\/p>\n
