December 28: Saint Theodorus
Rev. Butler tells us: Saint Theodorus was troubled by frequent violent headaches, and Saint Pachomius told him that greater spiritual advantages accrue to our souls from diseases and involuntary afflictions, when received and suffered with patience, than from voluntary abstinence and long prayers.
PRAYER: Saint Theodoras help us to follow Saint Pachomius' advice and suffer our illnesses patiently, while taking the means of restoring our health. Amen.
