A FAITHFUL FAMILY

W e are all no doubt familiar with the story of the Apostle Paulrsquos amazing

conversion along the road to Damascus mdash how he encountered a

blinding light from which the Lord spoke to him ldquoSaul Saul who do you

persecute merdquo The MARTYR EUSTATHIOS once a prideful Roman general

had an even more unbelievable occurrence that caused him to embrace

Christianity While hunting one day the general whose given Roman name was

Plakidas cornered a deer ad was prepared to kill him Suddenly a dazzling cross

of light appeared between the deerrsquos antlers and Plakidas heard these words

ldquoWhy are you against Me I am Chrsit Abandon your pagan ways and come to

know Me as the living Godrdquo Shaken the general left the forest and immediately

sought baptism for his entire family taking the name Eustathios His wife was

given the name Theopisti while his two sons became known as Agapios and

Theopistos

Eustathios secretly left Rome with his family to live a simple life of

service to the Lord But life for Eustathios would be far from simple Arriving in

Egypt his wife was kidnapped and his sons carried off by wild beasts After 15

years of separation they were all miraculously reunited in the village of Vadisis

Eustathios and his family returned to Rome where the Emperor Hadrian

was now in power The former general was summoned by the Emperor to offer

sacrifices to idols with his family When Eustathios revealed that he was now a

Christian his entire family was put to death in the year 126 AD

EPISTLE READING St Pauls Second Letter to the Corinthians 121-24 21-4 BRETHREN it is God who establishes us with you in Christ and has commissioned us he has put his seal upon us and given us his Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee But I call God to witness against me - it was to spare you that I refrained from coming to Corinth Not that we lord it over your faith we work with you for your joy for you stand firm in your faith For I made up my mind not to make you another painful visit For if I cause you pain who is there to make me glad but the one whom I have pained And I wrote as I did so that when I came I might not suffer pain from those who should have made me rejoice for I felt sure of all of you that my joy would be the joy of you all For I wrote you out of much affliction and anguish of heart and with many tears not to cause you pain but to let you know the abundant love that I have for you

GOSPEL READING The Gospel according to Luke 51-11 At that time Jesus was standing by the lake of Gennesaret And he saw two boats by the lake but

the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets Getting into one of the boats which was Simons he asked him to put out a little from the land And he sat down and taught the people from the boat And when he had ceased speaking he said to Simon Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch And Simon answered Master we toiled all night and took nothing But at your word I will let down the nets And when they had done this they enclosed a great shoal of fish and as their nets were breaking they beckoned to their partners in the other boat to come and help them And they came and filled both the boats so that they began to sink But when Simon Peter saw it he fell down at Jesus knees saying Depart from me for I am a sinful man O Lord For he was astonished and all who were with him at the catch of fish which they had taken and so also were James and John sons of Zebedee who were partners with Simon And Jesus said to Simon Do not be afraid henceforth you will be catching men And when they had brought their boats to land they left everything and followed him
