1 Come To MeAbide In Me Rejoice In Me

This 3 dimensional Slogan was chosen by the Central Committee of 2013 St Mark s Festival because of our current circumstances Each soul needs Christ in all aspects of life the spiritual the social etc Christ our Lord is the key to joy and

He is the solution to all our problems He is our source of hope in every

circumstance and He is the one of whom our teacher Saint Paul said (e is the

same yesterday today and forever (ebrews

Our Lord Jesus Christ elevates us above time with all its

positives and negatives the past the present and the future He

also elevates us above location as He is with us everywhere on

earth no matter what our circumstances are Yea though ) walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil For

You are with me Psalm Also our Lord Jesus Christ

elevates us above humans meaning that He helps us no matter

who is against us )f God is for us who can be against us Romans

Our triple-slogan then is

First Come To Me

1- Come to Christ For He is the one who calls us saying Come to Me all you who labour and are heavy laden and ) will give you rest (Matthew 1128) The

burdens here are our sins our daily and future problems our worries our

anxiety our restlessness In all of this our Lord Jesus is our constant source of

comfort

2- Come to the Saviour As Christ is the only one who can save us from every sin

and from every feeling of guilt that disrupts our lives and you shall call (is name JESUS for He will save His people from their sins Matthew And with His

generous blood forgives us our sins and cleanses us from all unrighteousness John 19)

3- Come to the Lover of Sinners As when the Pharisees started to

criticise Him for being surrounded by tax collectors and sinners He

rebuked them saying Those who are well have no need of a

physician but those who are sick I did not come to call the righteous

but sinners to repentance Mark He loves you despite your

weaknesses sins and bad habits so believe in and enjoy that love


4- Come to Him who Comforts the Weary Our Lord Jesus senses our burdens

feels our weariness and our hurts In all their affliction He was afflicted And the

Angel of (is Presence saved them )saiah Let us remember how He saw (is people s humiliation and sent them Moses the Prophet 5- Come to the Good Portion As our Lord Jesus is the good portion ) shall never be moved Psalms He is the one whom Mary chose and He

commended her because she looked to Him the real treasure and to His

heavenly kingdom the eternal portion By knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches Proverbs But temporary treasures such as

material possessions and status end when the world ends and the world by

nature is temporal

Second Abide In Me

1- Abide in Christ Through the Eucharist prayers continual repentance and

the spiritual readings and meetings

2- Abide in the Faith Who is Christ What is the vocabulary of our faith in

Him the evidence of His divinity

3- Abide in Good Deeds There is a difference in the deeds which are

according to the Law such as the Jewish rituals and the deeds which are

according to grace (meaning the work of the (oly Spirit in us and the

importance of works for salvation according to the Orthodox understanding as St James says Faith without works is dead James Show me your faith without works and ) will show you my faith by my

works James

4- Abide in the Way of Salvation Looking after

your salvation is essential as we only have one soul

The harvest is past the summer is ended and we are not saved Jeremiah For what will it profit a

man if he gains the whole world and loses his own

soul (Mark 836) and how beautiful is the struggle

of saints for the sake of their salvation


5- Abide in the Orthodox Faith What is the meaning of Orthodoxy Orthodox

Churches are divided into two groups What are the most important features of

Orthodoxy There is a danger in the unorthodox western teachings like the

danger in mixing the teachings with other teachings and the fulfilling Church life

is a guarantee for abiding in the Orthodox faith Also visiting those whom we

serve and caring for them in general

Third Rejoice In Me

1- Rejoice in Christ As He is your Saviour and companion loving you and is

closer to you than a brother He is the never-ending Who satisfies your heart

2- Rejoice in Love The love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy

Spirit who was given to us Romans Love is the way to joy because it is the

way to giving Unlike selfish centeredness and ego which are the way to misery

and there are many examples of practical love and its applications and how to

preserve it

3- Rejoice in Serving Serving is an expression of my love for

Christ who loved me and taught me to love and serve others There

are different types of service and service in different areas We

read about these in Romans 12 We hope to start missions in

which the youth can serve such as visiting the sick in hospitals

caring for orphans visiting nursing homes and serving the elderly

serving those with special needs and serving the society in general

4- Rejoice in Others Another person could be Christ Himself as in

the story of Saint Bishoy and someone else could give you the

opportunity to practice love and be given a chance to give learn

tolerate and gain virtues So interacting in the society is a must for

Christians It is important for the Christian person to be part of the

society in which they live participating in groups associations

student unions and having honest loving relationships with others

5- Rejoice in the Eternal Portion Our Lord promised us His kingdom where

He would take us in the Second Coming Therefore we must be prepared before

we go to this kingdom We can read about this kingdom in Revelation 1

Thessalonians 4 1 Corinthians 15


2 Regardless Of Me

Joy is the foundation of all of life and sorrow is

contrary to life engenders sin and clings to death In

our spiritual lives we do not know sorrow but

experience holy sorrow The sorrow that the Holy

Spirit produces within us so our souls are lead to

Christ is a constructive and edifying sorrow that

inevitably ends with the joy of repentance and the return to the open embrace of

God Our church is a joyous church the joy or repentance the joy of faith the joy of

struggle and asceticism the joy of prayer the joy of the Eucharist and the joy of

service Our holy Book is joyous news to every soul beginning with the

annunciation of the birth of the Saviour His incarnation His redemption of us

and His resurrection from the dead through to His ascension and His second

coming to catch us up into the clouds to live an eternal life with Him and to be at

the pinnacle of our joy

And now my belovedhellip Let us study together our teacher Paul s epistle to the Philippians the Epistle of Joy that together we may discover the meaning of true joy and may hold the

keys to a life of joy

The Epistle to the Philippians

Author Our teacher Paul the Apostle

Date Around 6 AD toward the end Paul s first imprisonment in Rome Philippi Greece was divided into two main provinces Achaia in the south the

prominent cities of which are Corinth and Athens and Macedonia in the north

the prominent cities of which are Philippi and Thessalonica Philip II of Macedon

(the father of Alexander the Great) established and fortified it in 356 BC It was

built along the land route from Europe to Asia and so was an important travel

and trade centre It was brought under Roman control in 168 BC and became a

colony which is a Roman settlement with special privileges Augustus Caesar

settled veterans of the civil wars there and gave them full privileges of Roman citizenship including immunity from taxes and so Philippi was nicknamed little Rome Before the conversion of Philippi to the Christian faith sorcery fortune-

telling and idolatry were widespread the people of the city being under Satan s authority


The Church of Philippi The Apostle Paul established this church the first in Europe during

his second missionary journey amidst a strong wind of persecution

The beginning of this work was modest and was among a few women Paul had met at the riverside where prayer was customarily made The first to accept the faith in this city was Lydia a seller of purple She and a

few others formed the core of the church in Philippi

This church was exemplary in several ways It was generous in its giving and

thankful in all situations The majority of the members of the Philippian church

were gentile not Jewish

The Characteristics of the Epistle

This epistle is a spiritual love letter to the church It is full of ardent emotions

and grateful acknowledgement of favours received

though it was written under the pressure of harsh

circumstances since the apostle Paul was a prisoner

Despite these circumstances it affirms the theme of

joy joy in prayer joy in the gospel joy in a life Christian fellowship joy in the Apostle s sacrifice for the sake of this fellowship joy in the Lord and joy in the church of Philippi s care for the Apostle

The Main Characters

Epaphroditus One of the elders of the church in Philippi who became sick

during his visit to the apostle Paul After recovering he returned to Philippi His

name is only mentioned in this epistle

Euodia and Syntyche Sisters in Christ and St Paul s co-workers for the faith in

the Lord Jesus Many in the church of Philippi had believed through them It

appears that there was a disagreement between them

Timothy )t is believed that Timothy became a Christian after Paul s first visit to Lystra His mother and grandmother had taught him much and he had joined

Paul on both the second and the third journeys

My beloved young people we are before an epistle rich with joy Let us then

delve into a thorough study of it to discover the many meanings of joy This year

we are all called to delight in it together

Chapter Joy in Pain Greeting and opening prayer (11-11)

In the opening of the chapter the Apostle Paul introduces the most

important topics he will write to them about He expresses their

standing with him by saying I have you in my heart I long for you all with the affection of Jesus Christ The entire chapter is

infused with these flowing warm and sacrificial emotions We may

also note that the epistle begins and ends with the subjects of the

saints and grace These continuously occupied the thoughts of our teacher Paul

the transcendent grace of Christ which He extends to every sinner and which

transforms and detaches him from the world the saints those whom this grace


touched and so have been changed heart and mind so that their love abounded

more and more in knowledge and all discernment

Three important subjects arise at this point

The verb to think in Greek phorneo and its derivates appears in this short

epistle more than ten times (appearing only seven times in the Epistle to the

Romans) To the Apostle Paul it was something crucial Wise thinking is the

essence of the Christian life and in these opening verses he clearly reveals that

the love he had for them is in reality the Christian manner in which he thought

about them and so says just as it is right for me to think this of you all This

reinforce another matter which is that of growth for Christian thought does not

appear overnight but rather grows steadily more and more A believer must

work toward maturity of thought so they may have the power of discernment

that enables them to improve their conduct and prepare them for the day of

Christ

We note that in this opening prayer there is affirmation of both the gospel and fellowship )n our teacher Paul s prayer thanksgiving for the Philippians is coupled with their fellowship in the gospel The other significant subject

mentioned is that of joy These three subjects along with that of his imprisonment and of Christ s glorification through him are core to every epistle of our teacher Paul

In laying out the heart of his epistle the apostle Paul writes of his own situation

When he writes For to me to live is Christ he means that every living moment

he spends in the companionship and service of the Lord Moreover he means

that he reveals Christ and lives in Him though his own personality and actions as

he says in his epistle to the Galatians it is no longer I who live but Christ lives in

me This is why further on he was able to command The things which you

learned and received and heard and saw in me these do Few are those Christian

servants who may dare to utter such words but Paul believed as an apostle of

Christ that he had the distinction not only to speak about Christ but also live the

life of Christ and what it entails of fortitude and humility

Two difficulties arise in this chapter

1 The situation alluded to by the Apostle in the verses Philippians 112-18

for it appears that the church in Rome (where this epistle was written)

was divided in their response to his imprisonment Some were pleased

about it for it afforded them the opportunity to preach the Gospel as they

wished This did not disturb Paul as is apparent from his words whether in pretense or in truth Christ is preached and in this ) rejoice It seems that the teachings of these preachers did not have any serious errors since the apostle Paul was always careful to defend the integrity of the

word


2 Though it appeared that Paul did not know the outcome of his

imprisonment it was as though it was in his hands to choose between life

and death At the end he says to the Philippians that he is confident he

will remain Perhaps the best explanation for this is that Paul had

received confirmation from the Holy Spirit that this time his

imprisonment would not end in his execution Chapter Joy in Service A life that is worthy of the Gospel (127-218) As in the preceding part this also ends in joy )t may be summarised in Paul s goading found in 127 His wish is that there is no disparity between what the

believers in Philippi profess and how they live that the Gospel of doctrine is that

of life also

The Apostle refuse to allow the Philippians to suppose that he is in a worse

condition than them and so says to them having the same conflict which you saw in me and now hear is in me because suffering at the hand of an adversary is

part and parcel of the discipleship to Christ If we confess that we believe in the

Gospel of Christ who despite being equal to God the Father emptied Himself and

not only was incarnate but also obeyed even to death the death of the cross We

must then not look upon suffering as unavoidable but rather as a privilege For to you it has been granted on behalf of Christ not only to believe in Him but also to

suffer for (is sake

Unity was the crucial matter that compelled them to triumphantly confront their

worldly enemies It was imperative for them to struggle together in one spirit for

the faith of the Gospel Their faith in the one Gospel gave them a united front

against the world

He goes on about unity in the second chapter when he returns

to his treatise on the life of fellowship as if to say to them that

when confronting the world a genuine unity cannot be achieved

unless there is first a complete unity of their hearts and minds in

love spirit and purpose regardless of your outward

circumstances He is also saying that this unity cannot be

realized unless mercy and affection abounds between them

This is the core of the first verse which in turn culminates in the well-known

hymn in verses 26-11 This mercy and affection cannot find a place in their

hearts until they have believed in the gospel sung about in this hymn

Whether or not this was truly a hymn chanted by the first believers during their

worship cannot be ascertained for sure but what is certain is that Paul s style here is that of a hymn Though it is not poetic it is woven through the context of St Paul s words and his tone here seems to be unique expressing truths that are loftier than human perception


Two examples to emulate

Our teacher Paul writes to them concerning his position and plans explaining to

them the reason he had sent the epistle with Epaphroditus rather than with

Timothy but he takes from both practical examples of a life worthy of the gospel

Timothy sincerely cares for your state and is not like the rest for he does not

seek his own but the things which are of Christ Jesus living the gospel and

consecrating himself to its service Equally exemplary was Epaphroditus though

in a differing manner His unity with the Lord Christ did not manifest itself in the

service of the gospel or his fellow believers but in the sickness he acquired

while absent for he imitated the Lord Jesus in that he endangered himself to the

point of death Like Christ he also came back to life and returned to his brethren

the faithful in Philippi so they may rejoice at his restoration

Chapter Joy in Faith Striving onwards with resoluteness (31ndash41)

This passage deliberately begins and ends with the melody of joy because the

way of the cross that is depicted for us by our teacher Paul is also the way of joy

(see Heb 122) Also not random is the fact that passage also begins and ends

with the expression my brethren for in this passage Paul once more writes

concerning himself how he was exemplary in his choices and that they should

emulate him in their lives saying Brethren join in following my example After

he placed before them Timothy and Epaphroditus as examples he now sets

himself up as one

The melody changes suddenly in the second verse of Chapter 3 when he warns

them to beware of dogs It is more they likely that the Philippians themselves

had called them adversaries but here he identifies them to demonstrate to

them that the Christian life is entirely incompatible with the values embraced by

these adversaries

It appears that they were Jews like those who

opposed the apostle at Thessalonica which is close to Philippi They believed they were God s chosen people and this is what the apostle refers to as

having confidence in the flesh They supposed

that they knew the way of righteousness and that is

absolute obedience to the law in every particular but

our teacher Paul describes it as pursuing

righteousness which is from the law which has

absolutely no bearing on the righteousness God grants through Jesus Christ He

then goes on to assure them that the only way to become a people of God is the

way of self-denial All that he had previously esteemed as a Jew he now counted

loss The only way to attain righteousness is faith in Christ


One must then conform to His death in order to know the power of His

resurrection For St Paul dying with Christ did not only mean suffering

imprisonment and other afflictions for His sake but also the forsaking of all the

privileges he had as a Jew

It is easy for us to see how Paul was the subject of accusations not only from the

Jews but from the Jewish Christians also However our

teacher Paul knew that salvation first and foremost was in

Jesus Christ and anything that may take His place should be thrown aside To trust in one s Jewish heritage is to set one s mind on earthly things but to place one s trust in Christ is to have one s heart in the heavenly city and to wait to be taken there

Chapter Joy in Giving Meditation joy and communion (31ndash41)

The melody again changes suddenly to the extent that some view the epistle to

the Philippians as a collection of letters This however is a mistaken notion

arising from a lack of understanding of Paul s manner of thinking a lack of insight into the hidden thread which requires careful contemplation in order to

be clarified

When the apostle turns to address Euodia and Syntyche he in fact is not

changing the subject for the link between this and what came before it is the

same as the link between verses 127-30 and the first part of Chapter 2 how can

the faithful confront the enemies of the cross of Christ when they are divided and

in conflict with one another If there is but one gospel then the existence of

contentions means that the gospel has not had its full impact This is why he

asks Euodia and Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord and reminds them

in the amazing unity in which they laboured together in the gospel

This accord that our teacher Paul solicits from them does not require total

conformity of opinions in all matters but rather a unity of hearts in a common

love for Christ and the gospel In the remainder of the epistle he reveals what

this unity means in practice The intellect is crucial in this matter In verses 44-

9 the apostle Paul introduces a picture of the Christian life that leads to mindful

and perceptive prayer to the intentional orientation of thoughts to all that is true

and to a life distinguished by two important traits peace and joy no matter the

circumstances (Verse 7 balances with the second part of verse 9 and verse 4

stands above this whole passage)


This leads us to the final part in which the apostle Paul thanks the Philippians

Despite the new discord in one part of the church of Philippi the church overall

had shown a united Christian mind They had shown this unity to St Paul

through their sharing with him in the gospel by sending him a gift with

Epaphroditus To them he writes You have done well that you shared in my distress

Our thoughts then return to the wonderful hymn because this communion

emanates from the gospel of Christ who came from heaven to bear our sins From the same also comes Paul s stance in whatever state ) know how to be abased cf and ) know how to abound Through our union with Christ we

will never be anxious about our needs We will one with Him and others in

abasement and elevation as He wills being assured that my God shall supply all

your need according to (is riches in glory by Christ Jesus

THE OFFERTORY

The bread is usually presented to the priest in odd numbers

- Three refers to the Holy Trinity the priest chooses

one round bread as an indication to the incarnation of

the eternal Word (one of the three Hypostases) It will

become the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the

world

- Five refers to the five offerings of the Old Testament which were

Burnt Offering

Sin Offering

Trespass Offering

Peace Offering

Grain Offering

- Seven refers to those five offerings plus the two doves offered to

cleanse the leper

- The Espadicon means the master part and it symbolises the Lord

Jesus Christ Himself

THE READINGS

It is noted that in Pauls round the Priest goes around the whole church because

Paul wearied a great deal in the mission and travelled more than the rest of the

Apostles St Paul had three missionary journeys

The Catholicon has no rounds and the priest does not leave the sanctuary This

refers to the Lords promise to His disciples not to leave Jerusalem and wait for

the Fathers promise

When the Praxis is read (the Acts) the priest goes around the altar only to

symbolise the Apostles staying in Jerusalem


THE HOLY KISS - PRAYER OF RECONCILIATION

Spasmos means Holy Kiss

Aprosvarin is the cover on the altar and when it is lifted from

the altar after reconciliation prayer it resembles the stone

which was rolled away from the Holy tomb by the angel Bells

are sewn on it so that as it is lifted the ringing denotes the

earth shaking when the Lord was resurrected

LIFT UP YOUR HEARTS

The Anaphora is the most solemn part of the Divine Liturgy in which the

offerings of bread and wine are consecrated as the body and blood of Christ

The difference between (oly and Saint The word (oly refers to God only All the angels and righteous people can be

called saints Their holiness is taken from God who is the source of holiness

Saint person canonised by the Christian Church for

their holy qualities extremely holy person very

righteous person

Holy sacred consecrated divine devoted to the

service of God or religion saintly Godlyhellip

The deacon hands the censer to the priest who puts incense into it and says He

was incarnate and became man This is a symbol of the incarnation and one of

the gifts of the three wise men was the offering of frankincense to show that

Jesus is the Son of God and a holy man The sweet smell of frankincense

symbolises the smell of life that overcame the smell of death

The Holy Mass offers the story of our salvation from creation to judgment

The prayer of Reconciliation

1 Creation Formed man in incorruption

2 The fall Death which entered into the world through the envy of the

devil

3 Awaiting the Saviour Neither an angel nor an archangel did You

entrust with our salvation


4 Incarnation You have destroyed by the life-giving manifestation of

Your only-begotten Son

5 Redemption Our Lord God and Saviour Jesus Christ

6 Resurrection Ascension amp Pentecost You have filled the earth with

the heavenly peace

7 The second coming Cleanse us from all blemish all guile all

hypocrisy all malice and the remembrance of evil entailing death

THE PRAYER OF AGIOS

1 Creation Who formed us created us and placed us in

the paradise of joy

2 The fall We disobeyed Your commandment by the deception of the

serpent we fell from eternal life and were exiled from the paradise of

joy

3 Awaiting the Saviour You have not abandoned us to the end but

have always visited us through Your holy prophets

4 Incarnation And in the last days You manifested Yourself to us who

were sitting in darkness and the shadow of death through Your only

begotten Son our Lord God and Saviour Jesus Christ who of the Holy

Spirit and of the holy Virgin Mary ndash was incarnate and became man

and taught us the ways of salvation He granted us the birth from on

high through water and Spirit He made us unto Himself and sanctified

us by Your Holy Spirit

5 Redemption He loved His own who are in the world and gave

Himself up for our salvation unto death which reigned over us

6 Resurrection Ascension amp Pentecost He rose from the dead on the

third day He ascended into the heavens and sat at Your right hand O

Father

7 The second coming He has appointed a Day for recompense on

which He will appear to judge the world in righteousness and give

each one according to his deeds

The Consecration Prayer

Do this in remembrance of Me

What does it mean


Anamnesis Remembrance of Christs agony death Resurrection and

Ascension Right after commemoration of the Institution of the Eucharist the

priest calls on the congregation to remember the agony death resurrection and

ascension of Jesus Christ according to His commandment to remember all these

at the time of the Eucharist It is truly the Body and Blood of Jesus the Sacrifice

The Word (oly is one of the strongest and deepest prayers It has

every meaning of glorifying God the Holy He is just and merciful

loving and powerful etc When we praise God with the multitude of the Seraphim saying (oly (oly (oly we have to be like saints because He is Holy and the Holies for the holy

THE COMMEMORATION OF THE SAINTS

The Mass of Covenant Thursday does not include the

Commemoration of the saints and the Diptych because the church

commemorates the passion and death of Jesus only The church

concentrates on Jesus only who died on the cross for our salvation

PRACTICAL EXERCISE IN THE LIFE OF THE SIGHTSEER AND THE SHEPHERD

A sightseer admired a shepherd who was sitting on top of a hill holding his little

lamb while the rest of the sheep all sat near his feet

The sightseer picked up some grass and gave to the sheep near him they turned

towards it with a great appetite and started eating While the sheep were eating

the shepherd stood up and started to walk in the other direction

At once the sheep stopped eating and ran after its shepherd The sightseer was

surprised to see the sheep leave its favourite food to follow its shepherd

Obviously the sound of the shepherd s footsteps is better than the food

The sheep must know if they stayed away from the shepherd they would be lost

and perhaps die They also know that they can only find comfort in the arms of

its compassionate shepherd What about you

HOW DO WE FIND HAPINESS

The Story Of The Student And The Philosopher

Once a young man left home feeling very sad On his way he met his Teacher

who was also a philosopher and he asked the young man why He was so sad

The young man said he was searching for happiness although he has a lot of

money and got married to be happy but it did not happen His teacher took a lit lamp in the middle of the day and went to the pigs farm and started looking in the pig s dirt The young man asked What are you looking for The philosopher said Diamonds The young man was surprised and said can you

find diamonds in pigs dirt are you crazy The philosopher said Why do you call me crazy for doing so you are more crazy and ignorant for seeking happiness in a land of misery and tiredness


5 A Lion Or A Deer

THE SERVANT DISCUSSES WITH THE CLASS

It is clear that the lion has high consideration for his potency When

the deer tries to escape from the lion the deer believes it will be the

lion s prey because he is stronger While running away from the lion

the deer keeps looking behind to determine the distance between her and the

lion consequently this affects the speed of the deer and therefore the lion will

get hold of her and attack her

If the deer stops looking behind the lion will not reach her The deer

is faster than the lion which is stronger in power and bigger in size

RESULTS

If you get a mark of 16 and over then you have high self-esteem if you get a

mark of 12-15 you have average self-esteem less than that indicates that your

self-esteem is low

1 Do not think that because you are in the king s house you alone of all the Jews will escape Esther

2 )f you are wise you are wise for yourself and if scoff you will bear it alone (Proverbs 912)

3 In all thy works keep to thyself the pre-eminence Sirach

4 My son glorify thy soul in meekness and give it honour according to the dignity

thereof Sirach

5 My son prove thy soul in thy life and see what is evil for it and give not that unto it Sirach

Exercise Everyone has to assess himselfherself by giving themselves a mark for all sides of self-aspects


6 The Lord will guide you continually and satisfy your soul in drought and

strengthen your bones You shall be like a watered garden and like a spring of

water whose waters do not fail )saiah

7 Honour your father and your mother and you shall love your neighbour as

yourself Matthew

8 You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart with all your soul and with

all your mind (Matthew 2237)

9 And the second is like it You shall love your neighbour as yourself Matthew 2239)

10 Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine Continue in them for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you Timothy

To love yourself is a concept of being thankful and appreciating the person God

made in you This type of love to yourself is based upon humility and

thankfulness Be a pattern of good works in doctrine showing integrity

reverence sober-minded sound in faith and teachers in good things

The Scale The orange tree felt worthless and said my fruit is not as expensive as the apples The apple tree felt worthless and said my branches are not as strong as the sycamore s The sycamore tree said ) am useless because ) am not as tall as the palm tree The palm tree felt useless and said ) don t occupy a large area on the ground like the grass The grass said ) am very valuable because I represent the carpet for people to walk or sit on God created

me for that reason and I am happy to fulfil this need


Drop the Mask

Masks are worn by people who suffer from low self-esteem and who are unsure

of themselves

The servant asks the class to demonstrate these kinds of people by

Performing a play to impersonate them writing poems to describe them

drawing a picture of image changing etc

Mr Violent Hides his feelings of fear by showing a face of hostility and

aggression He feels proud by insulting others

Mr Great Boasts shows off and brags to hide a feeling of being inadequate He

enjoys talking about famous personalities or prominent people he knows

Mr Weak Always complains about bad luck and problems Also grumbles about family members ill-treatment towards him

Mr Nice Is too nice and overly acting while talking and helping people

Intentionally he seeks appreciation for himself and not for a spiritual benefit He is craving for others recognition

6 I Havenrsquot Tasted It

It is a big loss for a youth who finds it difficult to pray or prefers any other work

to prayers

ldquoTo pray is to stand in front of God with your thoughts aim your sight towards Him and talk to Himrdquo (Kallistos)

1 What Are Prayers amp Why

a It is our spiritual umbilical cord channelling Gods nourishment and

oxygen to us As we open our hands in prayer to God we receive His

blessings Therefore prayers are food for our soul and without it our

spirit is dead

b Jacobrsquos ladder This is a two-way ladder The angels are moving in two

directions We ask God for what we need and He sends His blessings upon

us

c Mosesrsquo Mountain Your prayers will be like Moses atop the mountain

where he talked with God and ended up with such a shining face Talking

with God and having a relationship with Him changes our image to His

image Therefore prayers is a means by which we are transformed into

that image Corinthians

The image of the Son of God is stamped upon His children to show the beauty of

the Lord Jesus Christ

Reflect on us Your beauty - Epsali in Watus sung in Nayrouz Feast

Exercise One

The servant and the youth discuss briefly what does prayer mean to us Is it a

habit a necessity or a satisfaction etc

It is very important to have faith that God is near you and can hear you - (Fr Theofan)


Exercise Two

The servant listens to the opinion of the class on why do we pray

When we stand up to pray it is like a golden treasure box from

which we can take as much as we like This shows the image of our

loving God if we have faith and believe our prayers will be

answered How sad is it for those who discover this treasure box

and complain from poverty

Q) Why Pray

A) To learn how to love God the way He loves us

We need God

2 How Do We Pray And What Do We Say

a The servant discusses our relationship with God and compares it to our

relationship with each other How does God feel towards us We know

for sure that God s love is unlimited and unconditioned (is relationship with us is steady He favours us and loves us but will He be united with

us forever

Here are five examples of materialistic matters the majority pray for

Material needs

Success

Work

Travel

Earnings

Attire

Three reasons why material demands are not a priority

- All these things the Gentiles seek Matthew

- Your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things - It is not proper to build our relationship with God on materialistic

or worldly needs as if God is a bank or a store for what we need

and not the God we love and long to talk to


The story of spending time alone with Godhellip

Comment That is a nice coat and it took a lot of effort to make but

unfortunately it deprived Me of being with you and My daughter you

are more precious to Me than anything

This is what our heavenly Father says more precious to Me

The servant listens to the comments of the class on how someone asks for too

much in prayer (a materialistic person who does not know how to pray) The

servant comments by saying that this person is someone who has not tried the taste of prayer hasn t tasted it Help your class find verses from the Bible

sayings of the old fathers or stories that relate to this matter

3 Obstacles In Praying

Boredom

Wandering

Apathy and lack of desire

Boredom (Luke 181) Determination is the opposite reaction God wants your

willpower in praying and your determination God is not slack in giving but long

suffering toward us When God answers our prayers we tend to look after the

gift He gave us so we don t lose it easily (2 Peter 39)

Wandering Scattered thoughts there are two steps to cure the dispersion of

thoughts

1 Prepare ourselves for prayer and ask God to help us with our

thoughts during prayer to turn our weakness into fuel for prayer

deep within ourselves We have to humble ourselves before God

do our utmost and ask the Holy Spirit to help us

2 Persevere without getting bored everyday and with all our heart

pray Try to feel the presence of Jesus Christ beside us whilst

praying


ldquoHungry and thirsty in my journey

O Lord let your presence be my fulfilmentrdquo

- (St Augustine)

Apathy And Lack Of Desire Prayer is 3 things

a OBLIGATION

b HABIT

c ENJOYMENT

You can t enjoy praying unless you go through points a and b When you first

start praying you will find yourself obliged to pray and your heart might not be

in it Trust fully in God when you force yourself to pray God will send His

blessing upon you and joy will fill your heart until it becomes a habit and prayer

becomes part of your daily life

Then comes enjoyment in praying and the sensation in every word you say Don t rush the matter our spiritual life of which prayer is a part grows slowly without noticing just like a small seed that is planted


A Prescription For Prayer

What is requested from us in prayer

1 Being focused Concentrate while praying

2 Let your heart absorb every word you say

3 Concentrating amp absorbing are followed by the Holy

Spirit that will come upon our prayers and God will

hear it Keep God in your heart He will come and

make His home with you The treasure that when

found the man sold everything to buy it

Don t forget Jesus prayer it will sanctify every moment in your day and will keep you in constant touch with Jesus

Collect the sayings of the fathers and hang it on a board for your

students to see while delivering the lesson Encourage your

students to select a prayer that touches their hearts and would like

to say it all the time Make it into a bookmark and keep it with you all the

time

O Jesus My Lord

Enlighten me so that ) could see inside myselfhelliphelp me so that ) could weigh

myself and be able to test and check my thoughts and actions and the things I do

in love not waiting for an earthly reward but Your promise of being with You Nothing is without You my Lord Jesus (St Augustine)

Faith that God is near and can hear you is the most important thing

- (Fr Theofan)


7 Two On The Way

Here we will discuss a number of relationships that our youth are exposed to

whether it is personal eg with friends the other gender or bright and attractive

topics or the media

The Bible mentions a few people whose friends were the reason for changes in

their lives eg

Some whose friendship was the reason for being saved like David and

Jonathon (1 Samuel 19)

Some whose friends were the reason for him going astray like Rehoboam

son of Solomon (1 Kings 12)

Therefore choose your friends carefully

Reliability in relationships means the person feels contented

and settled within oneself by depending on the support of friends

and tries hard to keep the relationship going despite any concession needs

to be made whether it be a moral or a spiritual one etchellip

Find In Joshua Son Of Sirach The Principles Of A Long Lasting Friendship

1 Friendship is more valuable than money A real friend is like a treasure

when found try to retain

Faithful friends are a sturdy shelter whoever finds one has found a

treasure (Sirach 614) Do not exchange a friend for money or a real brother for the gold of

Ophir Sirach

2 Keep your friendsrsquo secrets Love your friend and keep faith with him but

if you betray his secrets do not follow after him For as a

person destroys his enemy so you have destroyed the

friendship of your neighbor Sirach -18) For a wound may be bandaged and there is

reconciliation after abuse but whoever has betrayed

secrets is without hope (Sirach 2721)


3 Donrsquot disclose peoplersquos secrets to your friend It is not proper to talk

about other peoplersquos business with your friend even if you trust himher

Never repeat a conversation and you will lose nothing at all With friend or

foe do not report it and unless it would be a sin for you do not reveal it for

someone may have heard you and watched you and in time will hate you

Have you heard something Let it die with you Be brave it will not make

you burst (Sirach 19 7-10)

4 Make no haste to judge your friends Often people lose friends because of a rumour or a scandal Don t just believe what you hear about your friends ask your friend perhaps the gossip is not true or if it is then by

confronting himher it might not happen again

5 Look after your friendship one who reviles a friend destroys a

friendship (Sirach 2229) Many would lose their friends over offensive

talk or a mean joke Proper behaviour preserves your friendship

6 Hurry to mend your friendship Sirach warns us not to stir the feelings of our friends and at the same time says not to despair but try to restore the friendship Even if you draw your sword against a friend do not

despair for there is a way back (Sirach 2221)

What do you think of online chat

Numerous studies declare that friendship built through computers could ruin

our social life This is because the communication between two is done

through the wires of computers and this is not the true friendship

Friendship is a mutual understanding true appreciation of each others

company and the desire to stick together whatever happens sticks by you

when you are down and celebrates with you when you are up etc All this is

impossible through online chat


Around 1600 years ago the Fathers of the wilderness held an assembly in the

desert The topic in question was What is the first virtue above all other virtues Some said deprivation and others said silence St Anthony the great kept

listening very quietly Then the fathers asked for his opinion He said that all the

virtues they mentioned are good and beneficial but there is one that excels all

the virtue of distinguishing and wisely choosing because it teaches you how

to practise the rest of the virtues This virtue gives us stability in life and the

ability to distinguish between what is good and what is bad

- On what basis did you build your opinion and why

- What is the attraction of the idea Did you think

about the interest of others

- Do you exploit the needs of others in your

promotions because you want to win

The Most Important Positive Effect Of The Media

1 Media In general media refers to various means of communication

Through the media we know the news around the world

2 Information Nowadays we can access mega information from one CD

for example the whole Bible comes in one compact disc (CD) Therefore

there is no need for building big libraries with many filing cabinets to

store folders and books

3 Announcements Internet and television are the best means

sought for finding a book a product or seeking education in a

specific line etc Through the internet we can book our

holidays buy tickets and pick the seats we want on the plane

This is all done via computers

4 Human Communications This is now available through many other

means besides telephones The phone is now converted into faxphone

A mobile phone is a portable computer equipped with all means of

communications that allow you to travel the whole world from a small

screen as well as chatting and sending messages to anyone Keeping in

touch with everyone could be done in a good sacred sound and

constructive manner


5 Education and trade via internet Education via internet has become

very widespread also trade and contract deals and millions of dollars are

dealt with everyday through computer screens without any one moving

from their desk There are also trade dealings via computers that are

monitored every moment and simultaneously by many specialised people

from different countries

6 Useful exchange of experiences

Write your decisions towards dealing with the media and the principles you

want to follow

1 Spiritual Satisfaction The spirit that is fulfilled by Jesus and enjoys

church life will find happiness in God A satisfied soul loathes the honeycomb Proverbs (seems like honey but it is poison deviates

man from the spirit and purity)

2 Educating Your Conscience Subject to and led by the Holy Spirit

3 Conclusion A critical mind (capable of distinguishing between right and

wrong)
