| Prophet Baruch (Feast Day - September 28) |
Verses
Prophet Baruch friend of Jeremiah,
You dance with the prophets of Christ in the heavens.
The Prophet Baruch was the disciple of the Prophet Jeremiah, and he was so beloved by Jeremiah that he called him his "breath" and "repose". Though divided in body, they were united as one soul in mutual love, for the one and only Holy Spirit united them and guided them. When Jerusalem was taken by Nebuchadnezzar (587 BC), Baruch fled with Jeremiah to Egypt, but later went to Babylon.
