Great Lent and Its Opportunities

By Monk Moses the Athonite

The period before Pascha which we are going through

gives birth, or should give birth, to a special feeling

within us. The most beautiful and solemn hymnography

of this period, the many liturgical occasions, and the

lenten fast are calling us to assemble ourselves. To

stoop within us, to figure out our problems, to self-

evaluate towards a sincere repentance.

Many people do not want to acknowledge the meaning

of these days, continuing along in their monotonouslife. Although they say life is tiring them, they do not

take one step towards an essential change.

They do strict diets, but they don't fast.

They go to psychologists, and sit in front of the television for hours, but they don't go to a

confessor nor to church.

People today do not want to give, but only to get, without toil or personal sacrifice. We are

afraid to look ourselves in the eyes. We systematically avoid this, causing anxiety within

ourselves.

Great Lent works like an X-Ray machine, like a photographic camera, like a mirror. Somehow

we consider it repulsive, because it reveals our hidden reality.

Todays spirit of consumerism, comfort and pride leaves man a prisoner of the many

unnecessary things that have filled his life. Great Lent is a halt to this routine and a

transfiguration. A prayer said in the divine services during this entire period hundreds of

times, written by Ephraim the Syrian, urges us to abandon sloth, curiosity, love of power and idle talk and gain wisdom, humilty,

patience and love. This beautiful and meaningful prayer ends by asking God: "Grant me to see my own faults and not to judge my

brother." That is, to abandon gossip, over-analyzing, and the strict and continuous judgement of others, and to turn within

ourselves, correcting our own mistakes.

Great Lent wants us to focus on ourselves and contribute to the healing of our spiritual diseases, which darken our minds and

make our lives difficult and bitter.

If we reach this self-knowledge and repentance, then Great Lent will not be a gloomy and barren time for us, or a simple time to

fulfill our "moral duties", but an opportunity to soften our hardened hearts, which will lead us to the love for people and the love

for God.

Excessive rationalizing of the difficult times we live in, strives to keep us away from everything mystical, hesychastic, sacred,

mysterious, supra-logical and supernatural. The result of this state has come to light. Everywhere there is melancholy and despair

reigns, afflicting many. It is time to see from the depth of our hearts that we have become estranged, and the time is ripe to

return to the cradle of Crucified Love. Continued on Pg. 2

THE TRUE VINE MARCH 2014 | Page 2

Often during the time of Great Lent we encounter temptations, trials, tribulations and failures. These are to mature us, to help us

acquire balance and a child-like nature. Let us not forget that the life of the Christian is one of the Cross. Without crucifixion there

will come no resurrection.

Great Lent is a beautiful and good time for preparation, a semi-darkened corridor leading us to a chamber full of light. The

foundation of this preparatory time are prayer and fasting. But prayer and fasting without humility and love bares no fruit. Fasting

and prayer aim to temper our selfishness.

Let us not lose this opportunity offered once again by the Great Fast, as we are approaching its end. In the Church, our problems

find their solution. The cold winter is followed by spring. The Triodion is followed by the Pentecostarion. The clouds are never

permanent, but afterwards the sunshine is much better. And now, as a wonderful troparion says, it is the "time of repentance and

the hour for prayer."

can make the golden years our best. Longer living can mean we suffer from limitations, ailments and general degradation that, in

years past, we would not have experienced. He will provide some insight, in a light-hearted but nonetheless impactive way, so

that we can each think about our futures, and how to simplify our future and keep it in control before its too late and our golden

years become tarnished, for us and our children. Chris presentation will be interactive, full of discussion and interaction. Spouses

are encouraged to attend. Please note: This is not a sales presentation, but rather a talk based on his experience with his elderlyparents in England and their lack of planning ahead.

PHILOPTOCHOSAMERICAN HEROESPROJECT

Masterpieces for American Heroes was a huge success!! Congratulations to the Greek School parents and students

for a very enjoyable evening of painting and family fun. Fifty five parents and children attended and raised $550 for

Operation Military Kids. Each participant painted their own special masterpiece, either an American flag or a fish

bowl. The money from this event will be combined with the money donated by GOYA and will be used to sponsor

children ages 12-17 to attend the Operation Military Kids Leadership camp held in Hocking Hills, Ohio this summer.

The combined total that will be donated is $1000! Congratulations and thank you to Michelle Zois and TaniaKaragianni who organized the Greek School event and Sandy Alex who organized the GOYA donation.

Community Care Ministry, The Year of the American Heroes: Philoptochos Community Care Ministry is dedicating

fun and camaraderie with our young adults. Philoptochos and YAL have provided BINGO prizes and refreshments to

the men and women who attend the events. See the bulletin board in the Memorial Center entry way for photos of

these evenings.

A very special thank you to John and Barbara Moraites for making and donating CDs of the Nov. 10th Veterans Day

Donate your old cell phone to Cell Phones for Soldiers. You can drop off your old phones at the Church and they will

be taken to the VA, where they are recycled. The money is used to purchase phone cards for our local military and

Saturday of Souls

Through the Apostolic Constitutions (Book VIII, ch. 42), the Church of Christ has received the custom to make commemorations

for the departed on the third, ninth, and fortieth days after their repose. Since many throughout the ages, because of an untimely

death in a faraway place, or other adverse circumstances, have died without being deemed worthy of the appointed memorial

services, the divine Fathers, being so moved in their love for man, have decreed that a common memorial be made this day for all

pious Orthodox Christians who have reposed from all ages past, so that those who did not have particular memorial services may

be included in this common one for all. Also, the Church of Christ teaches us that alms should be given to the poor by the

departed one's kinsmen as a memorial for them.

Besides this, since we make commemoration tomorrow of the Second Coming of Christ, and since the reposed have neither been

judged, nor have received their complete recompense (Acts 17:31; II Peter 2:9; Heb. 11:39-40), the Church rightly commemorates

the souls today, and trusting in the boundless mercy of God, she prays Him to have mercy on sinners. Furthermore, since the

commemoration is for all the reposed together, it reminds each of us of his own death, and arouses us to repentance

SATURDAYS OF SOULS - Among the Saints give rest, O Lord, to the souls of your servants in a place where there is no pain or sorrow or suffering,

but Life Everlasting.

2014 Stewardship Program

A Rich Man is not one who has much but one who gives much. For

what he gives away remains his forever.The God who came to us at Bethlehem continues to come to us today.

He comes through the Sacrament of Baptism to bestow upon us His

love, to call us His very own. He comes through the Sacrament ofChrismation to fill us with His presence, to make our bodies temples of

His Holy Spirit. He comes through repentance and the Sacrament of

Confession to cleanse us of sin, to restore in our souls "the peace of

God that passes all understanding.

In every liturgy He comes to us as the Word of God, bringing words of

eternal life through the Scripture readings and the sermon. Through

the Sacrament of Communion He comes to be born again and again in

the shabby stables of our hearts. He comes constantly through prayer.

He blesses our marriages as He did that in Cana of Galilee. He stands

by our sick bed, laying His healing hand upon us through the prayers of

the priest. He comes again and again in so many, many ways through the many ministries of His Church. He comeswith healing and forgiveness; He comes with strength and guidance. He comes and when He comes, as the Bible says,

the blind see, the lame walk, and the prisoners are set free."

It is by offering our blessings back to God that He will be able to continue His forgiving, healing, liberating,

empowering, transfiguring, loving ministry through the Church. For God, Infinite though He be, has chosen to work

through us, through our gifts, to continue His saving work in the world today.
