𝐒𝐀𝐈𝐍𝐓 𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐀𝐒, 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐏𝐇𝐄𝐓 𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐉𝐀𝐇 Saint Elias, a man who was seen with angels of God around him, feeding him with divine flames at the time of his birth, stands as an important figure of faith and strength. Spending his youth years in prayer and meditation, often wandering to the desert to reflect and pray in peacefulness, Saint Elias is known for his firm devotion to God. Let us pray through the intercession of Saint Elias that we can face all things in life with faith and love, so that we may see the face of God and hear the voice of God in all things. Amen.
