Mount Sinai is a special place for Christians. Here God appeared to Moses, spoke with him and gave him ten commandments; here St. John the Climacus, Abbot of Mount Sinai, lived at the Monastery of St. Catherine, at the foot of the mountain. And the mount itself with its steep steps is a visible symbol of asceticism.

The Saints are Alive! A Homily on the Day of St. Jesse (Ise) of Tsilkani in Georgia

Commemorated December 2/15

Jesse Dominick

St. Jesse of Tsilkani left his homeland to evangelize the people of Georgia and gave his life in asceticism to Christ and the people of his diocese. His selfless giving is an example for us all to follow in our own situations. St. Jesse gave his life to Christ. Through his prayers and those of all the saints we too can follow Christ, even to our last breath, and say with St. Jesse and our Lord: “Lord, into Thy hands I commit my spirit!”
