You can’t work things out in the family today, swear and get offended.
What happened today:
Today the Orthodox Church honors the memory of Saint Martinian of Caesarea. He began his journey to God as a hermit in the desert, where he spent almost all his time in sincere prayers. For this the Lord rewarded him with the gift of healing. But one day, returning from the desert, she faced a real test – female beauty. The girl tried to seduce Martinian and lead him astray. However, the monk did not succumb to the temptation and rejected the girl. For this, the Monk Martinian is considered the patron of fidelity in the family.
