Sundays of Lent

Each of the Sundays of Great Lent has its own special theme

OrthodoxyOrthodoxyOrthodoxyOrthodoxy It is a historical feast commemorating the return of the icons to the churches in the year 843 after the heresy of iconoclasm was overcome The spiritual theme of the day is first of all the victory of the True Faith ldquoThis is the victory that overcomes the world our faithrdquo (1 Jn 54) Secondly the icons of the saints bear witness that man ldquocreated in the image and likeness of Godrdquo (Gen 126) becomes holy and godlike through the purification of himself as Godrsquos living image

The Second Sunday of LenThe Second Sunday of LenThe Second Sunday of LenThe Second Sunday of Lentttt is the commemoration of St Gregory PalamasSt Gregory PalamasSt Gregory PalamasSt Gregory Palamas It

was St Gregory (d1359) who bore living witness that men can become divine through the grace of God in the Holy Spirit and that even in this life by prayer and fasting human beings can become participants of the uncreated light of Godrsquos divine glory

The Third Sunday of LentThe Third Sunday of LentThe Third Sunday of LentThe Third Sunday of Lent is that of the Veneration of the CrossVeneration of the CrossVeneration of the CrossVeneration of the Cross The cross stands

in the midst of the church in the middle of the lenten season not merely to remind men of Christrsquos redemption and to keep before them the goal of their efforts but also to be venerated as that reality by which man must live to be saved ldquoHe who does not take up his cross and follow me is not worthy of merdquo (Mt 1038) For in the Cross of Christ Crucified lies both ldquothe power of God and the wisdom of Godrdquo for those being saved (1 Cor 124)

the author of the work The Ladder of Divine Ascent The abbot of St Catherinersquos Monastery on Mount Sinai (6th century) stands as a witness to the violent effort needed for entrance into Godrsquos Kingdom (Mt 10 12) The spiritual struggle of the Christian life is a real one ldquonot against flesh and blood but againsthellip the rulers of the present darknesshellip the hosts of wickedness in heavenly places rdquo (Eph 612) Saint John encourages the faithful in their efforts for according to the Lord only ldquohe who endures to the end will be savedrdquo (Mt 2413)

The Fifth SundayThe Fifth SundayThe Fifth SundayThe Fifth Sunday recalls the memory of Saint Mary of EgyptSaint Mary of EgyptSaint Mary of EgyptSaint Mary of Egypt the repentant harlot Mary tells us first of all that no amount of sin and wickedness can keep a person from God if he truly repents Christ himself has come ldquoto call sinners to repentancerdquo and to save them from their sins (Lk 532) In addition Saint Mary tells us that it is never too late in lifemdashor in Lentmdashto repent Christ will gladly receive all who come to him even at the eleventh hour of their lives But their coming must be in serious and sincere repentance

On Fasting and CommunionOn Fasting and CommunionOn Fasting and CommunionOn Fasting and Communion

by Serbian Patriarch PAVLE

What Holy Communion means to the spiritual life of a Christian is described in the words of our Lord I am the living Bread which came down from Heaven If anyone eats of this bread he will live forever unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood you have no life in you Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life and I will raise him up at the last day For my flesh is food indeed and my blood is drink indeed

With deep faith in these words of the Lord the early Christians anxiously approached Holy Communion not because of some requirement but from an immediate awareness that there was no spiritual life without Him Just as one is not ordered to breathe but spontaneously knows that without air he would suffocate and die The early Christians attended all the Sunday and Holiday liturgies and at the Deacons invitation - with the fear of God and with faith draw near all the faithful lined up and received Holy Communion They were convinced that they were attaining the deepest mystery of our faith and the holiest gift of Gods mercy They tried to approach the all-holy and most pure God in Holy Communion with purity of heart and soul

They were called holy and they were truly holy for they protected themselves from every sin and they knew that he who sins is a slave to sin that sin turns a person away from God corrupts the soul and makes it incapable of receiving Holy Communion One who fell into sin would immediately raise himself up through confession cleansing his soul so that he would not commune unworthy For he who unworthy eats and drinks the Bread and Cup of life drinks condemnation At that time the early Christians kept all the tradition of the fast understanding that fasting is a holy institution from the Old Testament God ordered the fasting periods as an everlasting plan In the New Testament Jesus Christ Himself fasted and taught His Disciples to fast The Apostles and Saints also kept this The fasting periods were practiced at certain times as needed and Communion was administered regularly in the fasting seasons as well as when meat and dairy foods were used During the fasting seasons they fasted and communed during non fasts they ate and communed just like the clergy do today In the early Church there was no special preparation for Communion nor was a fast considered as the only means for Communion The preparation for Holy Communion was life-long process of keeping the commandments and guarding against all sin

For the first 300 years of the persecution of the Christian Church this was the procedure kept by the clergy and laity and only those who had deep faith in the Heavenly Kingdom were ready to sacrifice all to obtain salvation Christian morality at that time was on a high level Then after freedom was declared in the year 313 under the rule of King Constantine there was a movement in the Church of those who did not find their treasures hidden in the field and were not ready to sell everything to buy that field (St Matthew 1344) At this behavior the level of morality of the Christians fell to a low standard Many still approached Holy Communion regularly but without a serious commitment to Him Others began to delay their trip to the Holy Chalice with the excuse of not enough preparation But the effort of soul cleansing was only from time to time for a few days before Holy Communion Even this practice became harder for them and they further delayed their preparation and their receiving of Communion until it happened that they communed only four times a year and it gradually became even less

In view of this situation according to St John Chrysostom the Church established the forty day fast before Pascha Realizing the danger that comes from such habits the Holy Fathers ordered forty days of fasting that we all cleanse ourselves carefully through prayer charity fasting vigils and tears In this manner we may approach Holy Communion with a clear conscience as much as possible As for the others the Church Fathers say that they must make every effort not only before Holy Communion but always to live a Godly life in order to receive When the question arises as to whose position is the correct one those who commune infrequently or those who commune regularly St John answers that neither one is the answer but only they who take Communion with a clear conscience a clean heart and spotless life These people may approach at all times and those who do not measure up to this - not even once This will only bring on them condemnation judgment and suffering

Of all the methods to cleance the soul for this most important union with Christ in receiving His Body and Blood our people see only the physical fast Many priests pose before the faithful just one question - did you fast When they answer positively he allows them to approach as if that one thing is of major importance Everything else is secondary as does he value the magnitude of what he is receiving does he knows the Creed basic prayers is his tongue and mouth clear of lies cursing and filthy language and is he in a quarrel with someone Fornication adultery frequenting fortune tellers sorcers and wearers of the evil eye should be asked Do women practice abortion Do they regularly pray read the Bible and mediate Pastors must a void the mechanical approaches and insist that the faithful come as often as possible and commune at each liturgy with constant preparation and vigil over their souls The spiritual father knows the spiritual condition of each member of his flock To on e he advises to come more often during fasting seasons he could tell some to fast two or three days to others seven days and to some to come always without fasting

It goes without saying that our faithful should be instructed towards frequent Communion but under the condition of constant guard over the purity of soul keeping spiritual fasts guarding the heart eyes ears and senses of everything sinful and not only by observing physical fasts

For where your treasure is there your heart will be alsordquo (Mt621)

The Sunday of Orthodoxy

March 1 2015

The Restoration of the Icons

On the first Sunday of Lent we commemorate the Triumph of Orthodoxy On this day we bring icons to church and carry them in procession to celebrate the restoration of the icons after the iconoclast heresy long ago But even though the icons are highly visible the Triumph of Orthodoxy does not only mean we can have icons

Therersquos a subtext to iconoclasm that we miss because we arenrsquot ancient Greeks or Romans Saint Paul writes that ldquoChrist crucified [is] to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishnessrdquo (1 Corinthians 123) The religions of the Greeks emphasized the transcendence of God The high exalted remote Deity they believed could not be associated with the grossness of the flesh To them spirit was good matter was bad mdash and man was a divine spirit trapped in a lowly material world unless he can escape through secret knowledge

In the face of that belief the first Christians proclaimed that God has become a perfectly material fully physical human being that he actually died and not only did he rise bodily from the dead He promises to raise us for eternity in bodies Salvation doesnrsquot lie in an escape from matter Instead Christians expect to live eternally bodily in the Resurrection

Although this pagan Greek disdain for matter and the body was alien to the Christian Gospel it remained alive in heresies around the periphery of the Church Finally in the eighth century in the wake of Islamrsquos impact on Christian culture this delusion reared its head among the Christians

The iconoclasts [literally image-breakers] asserted that since ldquoGod is spiritrdquo (John 424) then He cannot be depicted using matter Since (they said) an icon can only show the humanity of Christ not His invisible divine nature they claimed icons of Christ improperly divided Jesus the man from Christ our God And scandalized by Christian veneration of icons the iconoclasts called it the same as worship of pagan idols Gaining the ear of the emperor they arranged to have the Archbishop of Constantinople replaced by one of their own and began persecuting the Orthodox who venerated images even putting them to death

The history of the present feast is that of the restoration of icons to the Church In answering the iconoclastsrsquo objections the holy Fathers remind us that the holy transcendent God has become a Man ldquoHe humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death even the death of the crossrdquo (Philippians 28) He saves us by participating fully in our visible material nature mdash uniting it to Himself in His triumph over death in His ascension and return to His own divine glory and throne in His eternal life divine nature holiness and righteousness Saint Gregory the Theologian famously says ldquoThat which was not assumed is not healed but that which is united to God is savedrdquo

Christ can be depicted in matter mdash in paint on wood in mosaics in stone on metal bells and vessels mdash precisely because ever since Gabrielrsquos annunciation ldquoHail full of gracerdquo God the Word is forevermore a material human Person He saves us on an entirely material Cross of wood shedding real blood He heals and sanctifies us with oil water the bodies of the saints and above all with His own Body and Blood

God is Spirit and Christ our God is also human He is impassible mdash but in His incarnation Hersquos no stranger to pain or tribulation In Him the human and divine natures are united ldquowithout mingling change division or separationrdquo as the Fathers have said In the light of this fearful divine Mystery no Orthodox Christian is tempted to worship the mere wood or paint of an icon as Saint Basil wrote when we venerate Christ or the saints in an icon the honor we show passes on to the one the image represents

Jesus Christ is the God who gets His hands dirty That still scandalizes people who prefer a deity they can keep on a pedestal We live in a culture that mdash like the ancient Greeks mdash prefers to be merely a fan of an impersonal god that we can compartmentalize ignore and salute when appropriate The message of the restoration of the icons is that this conveniently uninvolved deity of civil religion is a false god Ironically the god that cannot be depicted in images is an idol invented by the minds of men But the living God ndash the I AM whose bodily resurrection we will celebrate in a few weeks is ldquothat which was from the beginning which we have heard which we have seen with our eyes which we have looked upon and our hands have handledrdquo (1 John 11) This God who saves the world by His material Incarnation is fittingly depicted using matter This is the Orthodoxy that triumphs today

We fast to help us get closer to God When we fast and pray our minds are clearer and we can think about talking to God Fasting and praying lighten and cleanse our souls God showed us how to sacrifice something for Him when He sacrificed His Son for us Fasting helps us to overcome our bad habits because when we say no to things we like we learn to say no to doing things we shouldnt In the end fasting and praying

help us to live holier lives and makes us better people 1 humbled myself with fasting Psalm 3513

Jesus Fasted In the Bible we read that Jesus fasted for

forty days in the desert He did this to show us

that through prayer and fasting we can

overcome any evil

What is fasting Fasting is when we deprive

ourselves of certain foods and say our prayers according to

the instructions given by our Priest

Fasting in the Bible We have many examples of

fasting in the Bible like Moses St John the Baptist the Apostles

and especially Jesus

Why do we fast We fast so we can

renew our spirit and purify our minds and

bodies through prayer

When do we fast We fast on Wednesdays Fridays and other periods throughout the year Some of the main times we fast are before Pasch a (Easter)

Christmas Ss Peter and Paul and Virgin Mary

We learn about Fasting in the Bible We leam about Fasting in the Bible When you fast do not look somber as the hypocrites do for

they disfigure their faces to show men they are fasting I tell you the truth they have received their

reward in full But when you fast put oil on your Ilead and wash your face so that it will not be

obviOUS 0 men that you are fasting but only to your Father who is unseen and your Father

who sees what is done in secret will reward you Mat 616-18

STEWARDSHIP ldquoFor unto whomsoever much is given of him shall be much requiredrdquoLuke 1248

Stewardship is our response to Godrsquos grace and moves us from grace to gratitude Orthodox Christian Stewardship is a way of life which acknowledges accountability reverence and responsibility before God God gives it all and then calls us to share Everything we have and everything we are is a gift from God Stewardship is the ability to share our gifts of life time talent and treasure with others ndash with no strings attached and no conditions We share these gifts out of our love for God and gratitude to Him

The Christian Faith is founded on the Love freely given of Jesus Christ to us the Church Our response to His Love must be equally free For this reason we have set no minimum Stewardship commitment It is recommended however that each parishioner evaluate their commitment in comparison with other annual expenditures (such as insurance utilities entertainment or dining out) and make any adjustments deemed appropriate

Please remember we give to Christ and His Church our first fruits not only according to our means but according to our love for Him offering not only our financial support but our talents skills and experience

2014 Winter Youth Retreat Orthodox Youth Unite To Be In The World But Not Of The World

Over 110 Participan ts Check-in at New G racanica Monastery

By the grace of God the protection and prayers of the Most Holy Theotokos and all the saints and with the blessing of His Grace Bishop Longin the Youth Department of New Gracanica - Midwestshyern Diocese was able to organize the fourth annual Winter Youth Retreat The event was held at the Monastery ofNew Gracanshyica from December 261h to December 30h

2014 and focused on the theme of Surshyvivor - how we as Orthodox Christians can survive and thrive in a non-Orthodox world With just over 110 participants attending the five-day retreat a record breaking number of high school and colshylege-aged students came together to rejoice in our Orthodox faith and to build strong friendships rooted in common spirituality

Time for Learning and Sharing The retreat began Friday evening

with participants introducing themselves using a single word that they feel describes them and a quote from Scripture or from the holy elders and saints of the church This sharing of inspired quotes led to a discussion on the lessons and teachings

of some of our most venerable Orthodox writers An introduction to singing Liturgy followed in which the participants learned that they would serve in place of the monasterys choir that upcoming Sunday during Liturgy There was much delight and laughter when the participants learned to sing Lord have mercy in ten differshyent languages Afterwards the retreaters were dismissed to their rooms (that were each dedicated to a specific saint such as the Saint Paraskeva Family room) to have a more serious and close discussion with one another regarding the most difficult situation they have faced this past year The purpose of this discussion was to help participants realize that they are like one another in many ways and that in all things they have the grace of God and the support of their Orthodox community to uplift them This time for sharing was folshylowed by lighthearted and fun free time in which the participants were able to get to know one another better and then rest up for the wonderful weekend ahead

Small Group Discussions Over the course of the next few days

retreaters were treated to rich and useful

discussions from truly great speakers They began by hearing about the strife and effects of real war through the kind sharing of Ms Zorica Stojic and Mr Milan Obradovic in order to think about the ways in which we all face a spiritual war on the path to salvation Later on in the day they had an introduction to Orthodox Theshyology by Father Dennis Pavicevic in order to learn about themselves the Church and the ways in which we prepare ourselves for the day that we will meet our Lord face to face In the evenings the retreaters sepashyrated into smaller groups in order to have smaller discussions on a variety of relevant and interesting matters such as Overcomshying Death Escapism and Christianity aka Star Wars Call of Duty and You Dying with Dignity or Suicide How I Left the Church and Why I Came Back amongst other topics led by Father Dragan Petrovic Hieromonk Serafim (Baltic) Father Nikola Radovancevic Protinica Ana Krosnjar Deacon Marko Bojovic and teta Biljana Bojovic Father Serafim additionshyally presented on the topic of Monastery - A Safe Haven while Father Dragan presented on Other Religions - Who Do

They Say We Are and the college helpers of the retreat led a discussion concerning Orthodoxy and college life which the high school participants found of such interest that they continued the conversation for hours into the night

Time to Relax and Play Besides discussions and lessons there

was plenty of time for the retreaters to join together in fellowship and enjoy one anshyothers company with a lot of simple fun They were thrilled to be welcomed with a game room that boasted many exciting games such as Life-Size Foosball and Bungee Racing and spent much of their free time laughing and enjoying in the game room Along with this participants learned about the oldest and most triedshyand-true form of exercise - walking In this Serbian Anti-Yoga activity (anti meaning instead of) retreaters would be paired with one other person that they do not know well and all together sent on a leisurely walk around the beautiful monastery grounds next to the lake This was by far one of the favorite activities amongst retreaters as they found the most simple and delightful way to get to know one another at the same time being physshyically active and enjoying the surrounding nature Another Retreat favorite is and continues to be the Poetry Comedy and Arts Night in which retreaters share their talents and thoughts with one another in humorous sentimental musical and always moving ways

Encountering and Entering Into Com mu nion with God

The retreat was solidified and made whole by the fullness of Orthodoxy during all of the beautiful services and prayers in which the retreaters took part of each day that they were there By learning to sing for Divine Liturgy and through assisting the clergy and cantors in the church the youth gained a deeper understanding of what it means to actively participate in services They prayed together humbly and gained a sense of awe at the beauty of Orthodoxy They fasted while at the retreat and prepared for the sacrament of Confession on Saturday and the partaking of the Holy Eucharist on Sunday Morning during Divine Liturgy After the Liturgy the retreaters partook in one of the most joyful traditions in the Serbian culture by tying our wonderful Teta Mira Andjelkshyovic diocesan KSS President for Serbian MotherS Day who was all these days like a mother to them tirelessly cooking and taking care of them with two other Kolo

members and who for this occasion preshypared gifts for all of them In order to learn more about monastic life the retreaters all awoke at 4 AM Monday morning for a Mount Athos Experience in which they lit candles to guide their paths during the service of matins After the service parshyticipants went to bed as monks do for a sweet nap and throughout the day during meals Fr Serafim read from the Lives of the Saints thus emulating this beautiful monastic practice

Expressing G ratitude and Recognizing Gen erosity

The last day was spent in gratitude and generosity The participants and helpers gave a little thank you to all the priests who put so much effort time and love into the making of the retreat as well as to the wonderful women of the KSS (Kolo Srpskih Sestara) who with their love and food took care of everyone during the five days The participants also received gifts Everyone received a bracelet with a cross Fr Dragans book From Conception to Redemption a wooden shield with an icon of Christ and the word Survivor which were made in Serbia as well as a poetry book from one of the helpersThe helpers also received a wooden honey spoon made

in Serbia with the word SOTAYA Serbian Orthodox Teachers and Young AdultIYouth AssociationThe greatest gift was given last Every participant brought ten dollars in for the humanitarian project Over 1000 dollars was collected and then after a little prayer a name was picked from a box By Gods grace a very deserving family received that money as a much needed Christmas gift this year Finally it was not a surprise though a great delight and encouragement that at the end great majorshyity of the retreaters raised their hands high when asked whether they would be willing to serve in the Church - as monastics clergy or in any other capacity using their God-given talents

The Youth Depal1ment is extremely thankful for everyone who donated helped and came as well as His Grace the Right Reverend Bishop Longin who gave his blessing and spent much of his free time with the youth during this beautiful event The Youth Department is already underway in creating next years retreat and with Gods help reaching more teens and opening more hearts to a greater understanding of Orthodox Christianity which is our life in Christ

LENTEN LENTEN LENTEN LENTEN

SERVICESSERVICESSERVICESSERVICES

One of our important disciplines during Great Lent is participation

in special Lenten services Make an effort to attend each of these

services

GREAT LENT ndash LITURGY OF THE

PRESANCTIFIED GIFTS

Of all liturgical rules pertaining to Lent one is of crucial importance

for its understanding and being peculiar to Orthodoxy is in many

ways a key to its liturgical tradition It is the rule which forbids the

celebration of the Divine Liturgy on weekdays of Lent The rubrics are

clear under no circumstances can the Divine Liturgy be celebrated

during Great Lent Monday through Friday with one exception ndash the

Feast of the Annunciation if it falls on one of these days On

Wednesdays and Fridays however a special service of Communion is

prescribed it is called the Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts

During GREAT LENT our St Lazarus Ravanica Church will have Presanctified

Liturgy every FRIDAY at 9 AM beginning

February 27 2015 through April 3 2015 If you have prepared yourself

for Holy Communion you may take Communion at this service on Fridays

ALMSGIVING A CHALLENGE TO GIVE WITH THE RIGHT AND HIDE FROM THE LEFT (MATT 63)

by Matushka Constantina

Great Lent is a wonderful if trying time Itrsquos an opportunity to recharge our spiritual batteries and tell ourselves that despite falling down all year now is the time to get back up Itrsquos a time to guard ourselves and give of ourselves in a multitude of ways We often hear that it is not enough to merely abstain during Lent we should also do during Lent To be specific we should give alms But almsgiving does not need to consist only in giving money If that was so those who have little would find it nearly impossible to give alms

Giving alms can be done in a variety of ways The Greek word eleemosyne means ldquoalms charity mercyrdquo In other words almsgiving is also the act of being merciful so something as simple as a kind word or a word not spoken can be alms Going to three different grocery stores to find those special ingredients so you can make your husband a delicious recipe because he is tired and a tasty fasting meal will lift his spirits can be alms

If we are watchful and mindful we can find opportunities to give alms when we are shopping by letting someone behind us go ahead We can smile at someone on the street who looks like hersquos having a

hard day We can go out of our way to help those we see struggling or say an extra prayer rope for those we know need it We can visit the sick spend an extra five minutes during coffee hour listening to someone unload about their difficult week and tell an uplifting spiritual story We can volunteer to help a young mother with her energetic little ones and pick up after our own children for possibly the umpteenth time without grumbling If we look for opportunities to give alms if we ask God to put those opportunities in our lives then we will see them on a daily basis

Herersquos my challenge to all of us to give this Great Lent to give and to pray and to thank God for the ability to do so But I would like to add an extra element to this challenge Letrsquos give and not tell Letrsquos give and not even recall our good deeds to ourselves Letrsquos give and forget that we did good For in reality it is God who should be credited for inspiring us to give This is what the Gospel teaches us to give to the poor (in whatever way we are able to whatever kind of poverty we encounter) ndash but not let our ldquoleft handrdquo know what wersquove done (Matt 63)

Letrsquos become cheerful givers And if wersquore not cheerful right off the bat letrsquos not be dismayed I believe wersquoll become cheerful through giving Itrsquos a worthy goal for God loves the cheerful giver (2 Corin 97)

Letrsquos arrive at Pascha having given of ourselves having hidden our good deeds from others and ourselves And letrsquos pray that while we were giving our neighbour saw Christ in us ndash the True Giver of all good Letrsquos pray that when we give alms when others see us being merciful we will be able to honestly say ldquohe who has seen me has seen the Fatherrdquo (John 149) because it is not us who gives but Christ who gives through us

Lastly letrsquos not be found giving alms with our right hand and taking away the spiritual profit with our left by becoming puffed up thinking we are good Christians No letrsquos give God the glory

Holy Great Lent That Brings In Faith Victory

by Father Demetrios Serfe Boise Idaho USA

This is the victory that overcometh the world even our faith (St John 54)

Holy Great Lent in the Eastern Orthodox Church begins on February 23rd this year and this period of time can be for us all a great spiritual victory when we allow faith in Christ Our Lord to be a part of our lives daily

Christ the Lord conquers the world and that victory is ours also The Holy Apostles conquered the world and that victory is ours also Both the saints and the holy martyrs of our church have conquered the world and that victory is again ours There is nothing of greater power in the world then the Christian faith the Holy Orthodox Faith we all love The swords that cut off this Faith are blunted and broken but the Faith has remained We know well from the history of our Church that many have tempted themselves to suffocate our Faith in Christ and His Church however this Faith has again remained the victory is ours

When the world rushes upon us with illusions especially with the temptations of its exterior beauty the illusion of riches of pleasure and of transitory glory with what shall we resist and by what shall we be the victors but by this Faith Truly by nothing but this invincible Faith which knows something better than any of the good things of this world

We should never be spiritually interested in the face that the world offers us but only to spiritually behold the face of our Lord God and to behold Him and in all His Glory honor and worship Truly nothing is so important for all Christians then to apply our Faith which only teaches us endurance and unchanging values in the Kingdom of God What a great spiritual victory as again this victory is ours

Holy Great Lent is a great spiritual opportunity for us to remind ourselves that we can be victorious by faith in our Lord God Do not ever be shameful about having faith and being God loving Christians We must spiritually resist that which is unholy and seek that which is truly holy as we all know that Our Gracious Lord Jesus Christ is the Conqueror of the world who helps us also to conquer the world by faith in Him Our purpose on this earth as Christians is to seek the Kingdom of Our Lord God therefore let us humbly as well as piously seek it in faith and with faith Our Lord God shall reward us as we truly become victorious as we have found true Faith The victory is ours

Never for one moment believe that God does not hear you when you pray to Him Pray with all your mind heart and soul in the morning in the afternoon and in the evening as well as when our loving Church calls us to pray Go to Church to pray and in faith be victorious Think about attending during Holy Great Lent

the many services held during the week days Great Compline the Presanctified Divine Liturgy and the Akathist to the Mother of God Please also do not neglect the Memorial Services for the departed in the Lord the Vesper services on Saturday evening or both the Matins and the Holy Divine Liturgies that are celebrated on Sundays that especially commemorate this period of Holy Great Lent Prepare to attend the Holy Week services and the Glorious Paschal Divine Liturgy which is celebrated on April 12th this year

We have a great spiritual opportunity during Holy Great Lent let us earnestly with great Christian love struggle and behold Christ Our Lord who is the Resurrection and life without death What a victory and the victory is ours Let us well spend our time especially during Holy Great Lent in reading the lives of both the saints and martyrs of our Church Do not neglect to read as well the Holy Scriptures including the Holy Fathers and the teachings of our Church Study about the lives of the Holy Apostles and try to learn more about the Mother of God the Theotokos Learn how to fast and fast with great love for Christ who truly listens to us when we pray and fast Finally do not forget to help those who need us as well as crying out to us in God loving faith for our great Christian kindness be a great almsgiver and you shall be victorious in Faith What a spiritual victory which is ours

Our faith in Christ Our Lord brings victory let our faith in Him beginhellip

O Lord Jesus Christ Thou Conqueror of the world help also to conquer the world by faith in Thee To Thee be glory and praise for ever Amen

Peace be unto your souls

III Commullioll willi ourLord Lent is certainly to be understood as a sacrifice a time we deny ourselves of those things which we need least of all and very often result in many problems in our life such as eating and drinking in excess however we are called for something more we are called to be in communion with our Lord we are called to put on Christ our Lord to adorn ourselves with Him that He be our beauty our wisdom our strength and power And all of this is possible for all of us if only we are prepared to pay heed to Gods that through H is life-giving death He might commandments as the Apostle Paul says cleanse us free us and grant life to us and Therefore if we deny ourselves we know allow us to enter into the mystery of the for Whom it is we do so and in Whose victory of life over death the mystery of honor and glory we are denying ourselves the Resurrection the smallest and most insignificant things in life for that is for Him Who offers From a homily delivered by Bishop Himself as a sacrifice for our salvation Joaanikije of Budimlje and Niksic

Mount Athos Now Has its Own Smartphone Application | 21 FEBRUARY 2015

Mount Athos now has its own smartphone application The user can download the free application that will remind them of religious holidays days of fasting Greek Orthodox feasts while also provides all the information about monasteries

Photo httpgreecegreekreportercom

The application includes the old calendar which is used at Mount Athos and the new calendar as well It has a presentation of all Greek Orthodox feasts information on the lives of saints locations of holy relics dates of religious fairs wise quotes and advice from the Holy Fathers detailed information on how to contact monastery administrations and clergy and so on

If the user chooses so they can receive daily notifications on their smartphone

The application is created by AST SA a company based in Thessaloniki with the aim to facilitate the

300000 visitors Mount Athos receives each year The data was kindly provided by the fathers of the

Pantocrator Monastery on Mount Athos under the condition that the application will be free of charge

AST SA director Yiannis Theodorakis said the idea for the application came when he and company

executives who frequently visit Mount Athos found that there is a general lack of information about

the place For example visitors do not know where to go rent a car or call a monastery to find out

about visiting hours and so on

Theodorakis and his associates also think of making a version of the application in Slavic languages

since a lot of people from Balkan countries and Russia visit Mount Athos

A message to our children from Protonica Paulina

May 12 2014

Here I am your old church baba

I want to leave all of you with a few words

This beautiful church that you are in today was left to you by your grandparents They wanted you to remember who you are and where you came from And I hope that you remember all of this

This church was build in 1943 when I was a young baba and I want you to feel that on Sunday mornings when you come to your church that you are going to your religious home where all the memories of your babas and dedas are instilled in these walls

And as you grow up it may not mean much to you now but as you grow older the memories will come forth and you will know that this is where you belong

And dont think it an effort to get up Sunday mornings because that is the only day that you can thank God for what God gave you your parents and your religious training

I want you to know that I remember all of your babas and dedas and they are what keeps me going from day to day

And as you grow older it will mean more and more to you

I love every one of you and I thank God for your being a part of my life

And dont forget where I sit in church In that special pew I didnt designate it to anyone but who comes first is going be blessed

I love you all my kids

Thank you for all the love and the support

Thank you so much

I will remember you till the last day of my breath

A Childs Guide to the Divine Liturgy Compiled and edited by Ancient Faith Publishing illustrated by Megan Gilbert A wonderful new tool for

Orthodox children A Childs Guide to the Divine Liturgy is designed as an aid to help children negotiate their way through the

Divine Liturgy and learn more about the Church and our faith Small and easy to hold with engaging illustrations the guide is

divided into six color-coded sections Preparing for the Divine Liturgy The Divine Liturgy Salt and Light The 12 Feasts Words to

Know Glossary This guide is written to appeal to children ages two to ten The very young child will learn basic vocabulary and

come to recognize the various milestones in the Divine Liturgy For the older child the guide includes several longer psalms

quotes and prayers the 12 feast icons and kontakia plus an extensive glossary filled with terms and vocabulary often heard

throughout the liturgical year We wish you and all the children of the Orthodox faith continual growth toward Christ as we

all seek to be lights to the world and as we help each other toward the Kingdom of Heaven

hurch Slavonic is a rich and vibrant part of our Orthodox heritage This liturgical language is not simply a remnant of our Orthodox past but part of the very fabric of our communal worship of God today All

Slavic Orthodox Churches were influenced by Slavonic Our rich hymnography and music are imbued with its rhythm and meter While English translations and musical arrangements have made strides in conforming to traditional Orthodox style rarely do they approach Slavonics spiritual majesty and splendor

Although Slavonic is far from extinct in its usage there is a natural pressure in America to use English in the Divine Services English speaking converts and even many cradle Orthodox immigrants and American-born alike have little understanding of Church Slavonic However it would be a great tragedy for us to lose touch with this fundamental part of our spiritual heritage

History Saints Cyril and Methodius were missionaries and linguists known as the

Apostles to the Slavs They were brothers and members of a noble family of Thessaloniki St Cyril (actually known as Constantine until shortly before his

death when he was tonsured a monk) was librarian of the great cathedral of Hagia Sophia in Constantinople until 860 when he resigned to join St Methodius the

abbot of a Greek monastery in missionary journeys to the Khazars and the Bulgarians

In 862 Emperor Michael III sent them to Moravia where they taught and celebrated the liturgy in the Slavonic vernacular now known as Old Church Slavonic To translate the Bible into this previously unwritten language the brothers constructed a script for Slavonic known today as glagolithic Glagolithic is considered by some as the precursor of Cyrillic The Cyrillic alphabet used in modern Slavic languages is often attributed to St Cyril but it was probably the work of his followers St Cyril died in Rome where the brothers had gone to defend themselves against German leaders who wanted to enforce the use of the Latin liturgy among the Slavs St Methodius was consecrated an archbishop and later returned to Moravia as a papal legate

My lord illustrious Tsar Lazar although it is not seemly that I should look at you let alone speak to you in such noble company I have to say what preys on my mind The old dynasty of Ncmanyichi ruled our lands and when their time was over they went to their graves But they did not accumulate heaps of gold and treasures in their Ylults and caskets instead they built many churches and monshyasteries to ensure rest for their souls Thus they built Vissoki Detchani above the town of Djakovits3 they built the patriarchy of Pech in the hills aboc Pech St Peters Church near Novi Pazar and not tar from it the splendid Sopochane by the cool river of Rashka They also built the majestic Studenitsa amid the wooded mountains the graceful Gratchmitsa on the Field of Kossovo and many other monuments

nestling on the mountain-sides or by the cool swift rivers of Serbia All these are their pious foundations You inherited their throne and amassed heaps of treasure without building one single church to ensure rest for your soul all those riches can be of no good for our souls or for our bodies either Neither we nor any of ours will have any benefit from them

Tsar Lazar said then (Do you hear what Lady Mili tsa says Serbian lords I will build a church by the river ofRavan and call it Ravanista I have as much wealth as I could wish for I shall have the foundations of my church made oflead the walls of white silver the roof of glistenshying gold and I shall adorn it all over with pearls and precious stones

After 78 years together Tamburitzans plan to separate from Duquesne

By Bill Zlatos Monday Feb 16 2015 1039 pm

After 78 years of affiliation with Duquesne University the Tamburitzans are planning to go solo

Duquesne spokeswoman Bridget Fare said Monday that the popular student Eastern European dance music and cultural troupe will file paperwork with the Internal Revenue Service by the end of the month to become a separate nonprofit group and the university will ease its transition to independence

ldquoThere is a transition plan for the Tamburitzans to basically become an independent nonprofit organization separate from Duquesne Universityrdquo said Robert Vukic an alumnus of the troupe who heads the Tamburitzans Executive Council ldquoWere looking ahead at a date in 2016 to be determinedrdquo

Vukic called the separation ldquovery amicablerdquo

The council will form a separate nonprofit group for the organization smooth the transition and seek money and revenue sources to ensure its financial viability

The changing structure will not affect the current season of about 40 shows from Minnesota to Florida

In a statement university officials said a group of alumni approached the university in 2013 about the future of the group affectionately called the Tammies The group had a 40 percent decrease in applications over the years university officials said They did not say why

The agreement between the university and the group will allow the Tamburitzans to recruit students from other universities in addition to Duquesne mdash increasing the pool of applicants

and enabling the group to look more broadly for support from foundations individuals and government agencies

Duquesne will not totally divorce from the Tammies which have 28 performers and about 600 alumni The university will give the group more than $2 million in buildings land costumes instruments vehicles and equipment

The university will earmark more than $4 million in operating support for Duquesne students who perform for the Tamburitzans and will provide operating support during the transition

ldquoThe university is working to make this a soft landingrdquo Vukic said

For years the students with the Tamburitzans received full rides covering tuition fees and room and board Now they receive partial scholarships The cheapest tuition which applies to degrees in such areas as liberal arts education business and nursing costs $30070 this school year The cheapest room and board rate is another $9890

The Tamburitzans joined the university in 1937 eventually becoming a symbol of its link to the regions immigrant Eastern European community Former Duquesne President Donald Nesti caused a controversy in the 1980s when he canceled the groups world tour and fired four of its staff members among other things

Novak Djokovic wins Australian Open Associated Press

MELBOURNE Australia -- Novak Djokovic won his fifth Australian Open title and his eighth career Grand Slam while extending Andy Murrays misery at Melbourne Park

Djokovic beat Murray 7-6 (5) 6-7 (4) 6-3 6-0 in Sundays final relegating the Scotsman to runner-up status for the fourth time in four tries in the Australian Open final Murray had lost twice previously to Djokovic -- in 2011 and 2013 -- and to Roger Federer in 2010

There were a lot of turning points in the match Djokovic said Regardless of the record I have here we both knew we had equal chances to win It was a cat-and-mouse fight it always is with us

Djokovic swung momentum in a close match with a service break in the eighth game of the third set winning four straight points When he took a 4-0 lead in the last set he smacked his fist hard against his chest in celebration

At the end of the match Djokovic threw his racket into the crowd at Rod Laver Arena

Roy Emerson the only other man with five or more Australian titles was in the crowd and Djokovic acknowledged the presence of the six-time champion

Im so grateful to be standing here as a champion for the fifth time and to be in the elite group of players Djokovic said

Murray sat slumped over in his chair after the match awaiting the presentations and once again received the runner-up plate instead of the trophy

Its been my most consistent Grand Slam of my career I havent been quite able to win but the support Ive received here has been amazing Murray said Ill try and come back next year and hopefully have a slightly different outcome in the final

Murray said he had chances to win the match

Obviously I had opportunities in the first three sets Murray said In the fourth set I mean he was just ripping everything Returns he was hitting on the baseline Once he got up a break he just loosened up and was just going for his shots I couldnt recover

Novak has won five times here now theres no disgrace obviously in losing to him

Djokovic appeared to be troubled by a leg ailment in the third set and it distracted Murray

I had a crisis at the end of the second beginning of the third (set) I needed some time to regroup Djokovic said I just had weakness I couldnt call for medical because I had no reason

Djokovic served for the first set after breaking Murray in the eighth game but Murray broke back After that game Djokovic had a trainer attend to this right thumb

He double-faulted to open the tiebreaker but then after Murray took a 2-1 lead won five of the next six points to regain control He clinched the set when Murray netted a backhand service return

In the second set Djokovic saved a set point in the 10th game and Murray saved three break points in the 11th before it went to the tiebreaker Sixth-seeded Murray dominated the breaker to lead 6-2 securing four set points before clinching it on Djokovics serve

The second set was delayed for about five minutes after the seventh game when a court invader protesting Australias refugee policies was removed by security after stepping on to the court Other spectators in the stadium unfurled a political banner Organizers said two people were arrested and the court invasion was dealt with swiftly

There was a bigger cheer for Djokovic when the introductions were made but plenty of Scottish flags in the stands Some Serbian fans yelled Adje Nole -- Serbian for Come on Nole which is Djokovics nickname

Lenten Prayer of St Ephriam the Syrian

AS GOD FORGIVES I FORGIVEAS GOD FORGIVES I FORGIVEAS GOD FORGIVES I FORGIVEAS GOD FORGIVES I FORGIVE

Soon Great Lent will be

upon us It begins February 23rd

In order to set a good

beginning for the season of

repentance in the Church

we ask each other for forgiveness

It is clear then Whom

we should embrace as an

example and a Guide to

lead us through the journey

of fasting prayer and

spiritual purification in

order to reach the Glorious

PaschamdashResurrection

God Who knows all our

transgressions is quick to

forgive us when we repent

Let us also be merciful to

others when they do wrong

and forgive them
