Last year in Diveevo I visited the small chapel that stands in honor of Saint Martha. There an elderly pilgrim told me how she always prays for patience, just as the saint did during her difficult life. Thanks for the reminder on September 3rd.

I visited Diveyevo a few years back with my choir group and remember seeing that same little chapel. The story about praying for patience really stuck with me too — my own classroom days could use more of it. Thanks for sharing the date, I’ll light a candle for St. Martha tomorrow.

Last year I was also in Diveevo and went to that small chapel of Marfa. I especially remember how the pilgrim spoke about patience - just then I had a difficult moment with my students at school, and this story really helped. Tomorrow I will definitely light a candle.

I was also in Diveyevo two summers ago with my husband and our little son. We entered that little chapel of Santa Marta and the same story of the request for patience stayed with me, because just then my child was going through a crying phase and I needed a lot of calm in the restaurant kitchen. Tomorrow I will light a candle for her before I go to work.
