From the Fathers
The Synaxarium
The Departure of St. Felix, Pope of Rome.
On this day, the holy father St. Felix, Pope of Rome, departed. He was born of Christian parents in Rome in the year 210 A.D. They raised him with high principles and he gradually advanced in the clerical ranks. Astasius, Pope of Rome, ordained him a deacon. Pope Justus, seeing his righteousness and virtues, ordained him a priest.
The Katameros
Readings for the Divine Liturgy
Vespers, Matins, and the Liturgy, in the order the Coptic Church keeps them, with the Synaxarium beside the Gospel.
Holy Gospel
Luke 8:4–15
And when a great multitude had gathered, and they had come to Him from every city, He spoke by a parable: "A sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell by the wayside; and it was trampled down, and the birds of the air devoured it. Some fell on rock; and as soon as it sprang up, it withered away because it lacked moisture.

Ways to give
God loves a cheerful giver.
Each one should give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly. — 2 Corinthians 9:7
