Next came the Magi to offer their It is awesome that we have the opportunity to go to God’s gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. They come, not house. This is a great privilege and often we don’t think because of the great chorus sung by the heavenly hosts, but about what a true gift this is.

Born at Garissus, Cappadocia (modern Turkey), in 423, St. Theodosius undertook a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, and after meeting with the famed St. ! !Stylites, he entered a monastery. Later, he was named the head of a church between Jerusalem !and Bethlehem, but departed to live as a hermit near the Dead Sea. As he attracted a large number of followers, Theodosius established a monastery which was divided among the various nationalities of the monks, each with their own church. Appointed by the of ! Jerusalem ! to the post of visitor to all the cenobitical communities of Palestine, he used his influence as cenobiarch (abbot) to oppose the spread of the heretical doctrines of Eutychianism, displaying such ! zeal ! in his preaching that Emperor !Anastasius I, who was sympathetic to the Eutychians, exiled him. Recalled by Emperor Justin soon after Anastasius' death, Theodosius spent his last years in poor health. ! BǂǚǐǏǏdž, NJ ! THE WEEK AT A GLANCE ! Sun., January 6 ! 8:30 N11:30 !!
