Cyril, monk, died 869; Methodius, bishop, died 885; missionaries to the Slavs Tuesday, February 14
These two brothers from Thessalonika, Greece, were monks and were sent to bring Christianity to the Slavic people. In the course of their work they created a written language, inventing the Cyrillic alphabet for it, and translated the Bible and the liturgy.
In Jesus' healing we see the hand of the Creator, lifting up the sick woman to health and service. Following Jesus, we strengthen the powerless; like Jesus, we seek to renew our own strength in quiet times of prayer.

Jesus begins proclaiming the good news and calling people to repentance right after John the Baptist is arrested for preaching in a similar way. Still, two sets of fisherman brothers leave everything to follow Jesus.
