St. Macrina – Student

“You shall therefore lay up these words of mine in your heart and in your soul; and you shall bind them as a sign upon your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.  And you shall teach them to your children, talking of them when you are sitting in your house, and when you are walking by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.  And you shall write them upon the doorposts of your house and upon your gates,  that your days and the days of your children may be multiplied in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers to give them, as long as the heavens are above the earth.” Deuteronomy 11:18-21  

“”Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; that he may teach us his ways and we may walk in his paths.” For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.” Micah 4:2  

“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teach and admonish one another in all wisdom, and sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs with thankfulness in your hearts to God.  And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”  Colossians 3:16-17

OCA Diaconal Vocations Program

“Whoever would be great among you must be your servant (diakonos), and whoever would be first among you must be servant (diakonos) of all. For the Son of man also came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Mark 10:43-45  

“which is the greater, one who sits at table, or one who serves? Is it not the one who sits at table? But I am among you as one who serves.” Luke 22:27

“Deacons likewise must be serious, not double tongued, neither indulging in much wine nor greedy for money. They must hold fast to the mystery of the faith with clear conscience. Let them first be tested; if they prove themselves blameless, then let them serve as deacons” 1Timothy 3:8ff.
