Saint Haggai the Prophet

A life of faith

Haggai is remembered among the prophets associated with the return from Babylonian exile. The calendar describes him urging the people and their leaders to resume rebuilding the Temple rather than attend only to their own affairs. His teaching calls the community back to its shared religious commitment.

The Eastern Orthodox Church remembers saints in prayer and commemoration. Their lives offer examples for Christians learning to live their faith.

Notice one shared responsibility that your private concerns have pushed aside. Set aside time to contribute to your parish or community.
