"Through the prayers of our holy fathers, Lord Jesus Christ our God, have mercy on us."

St John the Wonderworker



Glorious Apostle to an age of coldness and unbelief,
invested with the Grace-filled power of the Saints of old,
Divinely-illumined seer of divine mysteries, feeder of orphans, hope of the hopeless, thou didst enkindle on earth the fire for the love of Christ upon the dark eve of the Day of Judgment -- Pray now that this sacred flame would arise from our own hearts.


St. Seraphim of Sarov




Thou didst love Christ from thy youth, O blessed one, and longing to work for Him alone thou didst struggle in the wilderness with constant prayer and labor. With penitent heart and great love for Christ thou wast favored by the Mother of God. Wherefore we cry to thee: Save us by thy prayers, O Seraphim our righteous Father.

St. Anthony the Great



You imitated the ways of zealous Elijah,
and followed the straight path of John the Baptist.
You became a desert dweller
and strengthened the world by your prayers.
Father Anthony, intercede with Christ our God that our souls may be saved.

St. Isaac the Syrian



We acclaim thee as a God-bearing and righteous Hierarch, as a citizen of the desert, O Isaac our protector and revealer of things sacred. Since thou hast boldness with the Lord, pray to Him for all who honor thee and cry to thee: Rejoice, O divinely-wise Father.

St. Ephraim the Syrian



O Ephraim, as a lover of silence thou didst ever foresee the hour of reckoning and bitterly lament; and by thy works thou wast indeed a teacher, O righteous one. Wherefore, O father of all the world, thou dost rouse the slothful to repentance.

» Desert Calling
"Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy upon me, a sinner."



IC XC NIKA

Desert Calling is a website and message board devoted to the inquiry and fellowship of the Orthodox Christian faith. We welcome all catechumens, inquirers, and members in good standing of the Faith, as well as all who come for sincere fellowship.


I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible:

And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Only-begotten, Begotten of the Father before all ages, Light of Light, True God of True God, Begotten, not made; of one essence with the Father, by whom all things were made:

Who for us men and for our salvation came down from the heavens, and was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and became man;

And was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered and was buried;

And rose again on the third day, according to the Scriptures;

And ascended into the heavens, and sitteth at the right hand of the Father;

And shall come again, with glory, to judge both the living and the dead, Whose kingdom shall have no end.

And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Giver of Life, Who proceedeth from the Father, Who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified, Who spake by the Prophets;

In One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church.

I Confess one Baptism for the remission of sins.

I look for the Resurrection of the dead,

And the life of the age to come, Amen.


"Most Holy Theotokos, save us!"
