The driving force of this mission is prayer.
The Monastery of the Holy Martyrs and Orthodox Workers know and believe in the power of prayer. That is why we always ask you to pray for all we serve and those doing the serving.

We know you can ask God to move that mountain, and He will. To do that, God usually hands you the shovel and tells you it is time to get your hands dirty. But He does not walk away. He stands beside you, coaching, encouraging, and giving you strength. He moves that mountain, and you are the vehicle He uses to dig.

And those we serve are also praying. Their prayers are those of thanksgiving for what you are doing. Many, like the monastery, remember each person who has told us that they are praying for us and each one who has sent a gift or donation. When we celebrate prayer services in homeless encampments and in vacant lots or street corners, someone always calls out two, three, or four new names of someone who has helped this past week.

They also join us when we need support, as we do today. Talk about great prayer warriors. I know many who live on the streets and whom Christ sits beside all day and all night, watching over them.

When we need something, when we need help, when they need help, all of us do as my mother and father taught me as I was growing up. Let the Holy Spirit fill your heart and your prayers rise as incense to Heaven.

All of us are praying long and hard, unceasingly, because your help is needed even more during this holiday season. Your gift is needed.
