A life of faith

Juliana lived her faith within the responsibilities of marriage, motherhood, and a household. She cared for the sick and shared resources with people in need. Her response to famine shows how family life and generous service can belong to the same Christian calling.

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

A reflection

Look for a small, sustainable act of care within the responsibilities you already carry.
