Today we remember Sts. Basil and Gregory -4th century. Here is a beautiful prayer from St. Basil.
Steer the ship of my life, good Lord, to your quiet harbour, where I can be safe from the storms of sin and conflict. Show me the course I should take. Renew in me the gift of discernment, so that I can always see the right direction in which I should go. And give me the strength and the courage to choose the right course, even when the sea is rough and the waves are high, knowing that through enduring hardship and danger we shall find comfort and peace.
Here is an image of St. Basil from Tracy Christianson.

I like this rather than some of the icons - somehow, he looks kinder in this painting. A lot of her work is pretty romantic but good...
