2 Timothy 2:20-26
2 Timothy 2:20-2620In a large house there are utensils not only of gold and silver but also of wood and clay, some for special use, some for ordinary. 21All who cleanse themselves of the things I have mentioned will become special utensils, dedicated and useful to the owner of the house, ready for every good work.
22Shun youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart. 23Have nothing to do with stupid and senseless controversies; you know that they breed quarrels. 24And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but kindly to everyone, an apt teacher, patient, 25correcting opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant that they will repent and come to know the truth, 26and that they may escape from the snare of the devil, having been held captive by him to do his will.
Luke 19:37-44
Luke 19:37-4437As he was now approaching the path down from the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to praise God joyfully with a loud voice for all the deeds of power that they had seen, 38saying, “Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest heaven!” 39Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, order your disciples to stop.” 40He answered, “I tell you, if these were silent, the stones would shout out.”
41As he came near and saw the city, he wept over it, 42saying, “If you, even you, had only recognized on this day the things that make for peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes. 43Indeed, the days will come upon you, when your enemies will set up ramparts around you and surround you, and hem you in on every side. 44They will crush you to the ground, you and your children within you, and they will not leave within you one stone upon another; because you did not recognize the time of your visitation from God.”

November 29
Memory of the holy Martyrs Paramonos (+under Decius, 249-251) and
Philomenos (+under Aurelian, 270-275)
Saint Paramonos suffered martyrdom under Emperor Decius (249-251).
Saint Philomenos lived under Emperor Aurelian (270-275). A native of Lycaonia, he was a baker by profession and furnished bread to different localities in Galatia. Accused before Felix, the Governor of Ancyra, he courageously confessed his faith. To torture him, his hands and feet were bound with iron chains. Then he was suspended and his body was torn open with sword thrusts. Afterwards, he was taken down and thrown into a red-hot furnace. Preserved from all these tortures by the power of Christ, his head, hands, and feet were bound, and he was thus dragged a distance of thirty stadia. He died during these tortures.
Fifth Class Feast.
