Uphold thy Church, O God of truth, as thou didst uphold thy servant Athanasius, to maintain and proclaim boldly the catholic faith against all opposition, trusting solely in the grace of thine eternal Word, who took upon himself our humanity that we might share his divinity; who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
Today being the anniversary of my ordination to the Presbyterate, I am thankful for the incredible witness of the champion of orthodoxy – St. Athanasius. The Saints teach us Christ.
