March 16, 2012 -- Third Friday in Lent

To ponder and meditate on:
"The pious youth within the furnace were rescued by the offspring of the Theotokos. He who was Prefigured then has been born on earth, and is gathering the entire universe to sing: Bless the Lord, all his works, and magnify him to the ages. Most-holy Theotokos, save us." (from the Akathist)

Challenge:
Attend the Akathist this evening. Submit names of departed loved ones and friends (first name only) to be commemorated during the Saturday of the Souls Divine Liturgy.
