In this video, I read from the Lives of the Saints as commemorated on Saturday, January 31, 2026, according to the Orthodox Church in America (OCA) Saints Calendar. Today’s saints and commemorations include:

Venerable Maximus of Kapsokalyvia, Mt. Athos — a desert ascetic known for his love of Christ and simplicity of life.

Saint Sophronius, Patriarch of Jerusalem — a holy hierarch and defender of the Orthodox faith.

Saint Moses, Archbishop of Novgorod — remembered for his pastoral care and spiritual leadership.

Saint Barlaam, Abbot of Khutyn — a monastic father who laboured for the salvation of many.

Saint Symeon, Archbishop of Thessalonica — a faithful shepherd of his flock.

Martyr Hermias of Comana — who steadfastly confessed Christ unto death.

Saint Eusebius the Wonderworker — known for his holy life and signs among the faithful.

Hieromartyr John — faithful witness of the faith unto martyrdom.

Please forgive me for my reading — I am not a professional narrator. This recording is shared humbly as part of my own spiritual journey and is offered freely, without monetisation, for accessibility, quiet reflection, and the spiritual encouragement of all who wish to listen.

May the prayers of the saints commemorated today be with us all.
