NKJV 365 Day Reading PlanЗагвар

An offering must be made for the priest and his household before he could carry out his duties of the day. So too, the clergy of the Church should never assume they do not need cleansing, for they too — and their households — sin as do others. The role of the clergy is unique, but they are still sinners in need of a sacrifice. It is not only the people who confess themselves to be chief of sinners at every Divine Liturgy — the clergy do as well.
