SPIRITUAL THOUGHT —Today is the Sunday following Pentecost as it is known as “All-Saints Sunday.” In his Epistle to the Hebrews, St. Paul writes, “Surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.” (Hebrews 12:1). “The cloud of witnesses includes...the saints and martyrs of the Lord in all ages. If they made it, so can we. We persevere by getting rid of sin, the weight of which keeps us from heeding the truth; setting as our destination the heavenly city, running the race of faith; and keeping our attention focused on Jesus Christ our Lord and King (Hebrews 12:2). This race is not a sprint, but a marathon of endurance: it does not end until we fully enter the age to come (See 1 Corinthians 9:24-27).” (Orthodox Study Bible, pg. 1668).
