SUNDAY, JUNE 16th,
2019
HOLY PENTECOST
After the Saviour's Ascension into the Heavens, the eleven
Apostles and the rest of His disciples, the God-loving women who
followed after Him from the beginning, His Mother, the most holy Virgin
Mary, and His brethren-all together about 120 souls returned from the Mount
of Olives to Jerusalem. Entering into the house where they gathered,
they went into the upper room, and there they persevered in prayer and
supplication, awaiting the coming of the Holy Spirit, as their Divine
Teacher had promised them. In the meanwhile, they chose Matthias, who
was elected to take the place of Judas among the Apostles.
Thus, on this day,
the seventh Sunday of Pascha, the tenth day after the Ascension and the
fiftieth day after Pascha, at the third hour of the day from the rising
of the sun, there suddenly came a sound from Heaven, as when a mighty
wind blows, and it filled the whole house where the Apostles and the
rest with them were gathered. Immediately after the sound, there
appeared tongues of fire that divided and rested upon the head of each
one. Filled with the Spirit, all those present began speaking not in
their native tongue, but in other tongues and dialects, as the Holy
Spirit instructed them.
The multitudes that
had come together from various places for the feast, most of whom were
Jews by race and religion, were called Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and
so forth, according to the places where they dwelt. Though they spoke
many different tongues, they were present in Jerusalem by divine
dispensation. When they heard that sound that came down from Heaven to
the place where the disciples of Christ were gathered, all ran together
to learn what had taken place. But they were confounded when they came
and heard the Apostles speaking in their own tongues. Marveling at
this, they said one to another, "Behold, are not all these which
speak Galileans? And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein
we were born?" But others, because of their foolishness and excess
of evil, mocked the wonder and said that the Apostles were drunken.
Then Peter stood up
with the eleven, and raising his voice, spoke to all the people,
proving that that which had taken place was not drunkenness, but the
fulfilment of God's promise that had been spoken by the Prophet Joel:
"And it shall come to pass in the last days, that I shall pour out
of My Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and daughters shall
prophesy" (Joel 2:28), and he preached Jesus of Nazareth unto
them, proving in many ways that He is Christ the Lord, Whom the Jews
crucified but God raised from the dead. On hearing Peter's teaching,
many were smitten with compunction and received the word. Thus, they
were baptized, and on that day about three thousand souls were added to
the Faith of Christ.
Such, therefore,
are the reasons for today's feast: the coming of the All-holy Spirit
into the world, the completion of the Lord Jesus Christ's promise, and
the fulfilment of the hope of the sacred disciples, which we celebrate
today. This is the final feast of the great mystery and dispensation of
God's incarnation. On this last, and great, and saving day of
Pentecost, the Apostles of the Saviour, who were unlearned fishermen,
made wise now of a sudden by the Holy Spirit, clearly and with divine
authority spoke the heavenly doctrines. They became heralds of the
truth and teachers of the whole world. On this day they were ordained
and began their apostleship, of which the salvation of those three
thousand souls in one day was the comely and marvelous first fruit.
Some erroneously
hold that Pentecost is the "birthday of the Church." But this
is not true, for the teaching of the holy Fathers is that the Church
existed before all other things. In the second vision of The Shepherd
of Hermas we read: "Now brethren, a revelation
was made unto me in my sleep by a youth of exceeding fair form, who
said to me, 'Whom thinkest thou the aged
woman, from whom thou receivedst the book, to
be?' I say, 'The Sibyl.' 'Thou art wrong,' saith he, 'she is not.' 'Who
then is she?' I say. 'The Church,' saith he. I said unto him,
'Wherefore then is she aged?' 'Because,' saith he, 'she was created
before all things; therefore, is she aged, and for her sake the world
was framed."' Saint Gregory the Theologian also speaks of
"the Church of Christ ... both before Christ and after
Christ" (PG 35:1108-9). Saint Epiphanius of Cyprus writes,
"The Catholic Church, which exists from the ages, is revealed most
clearly in the incarnate advent of Christ" (PG 42:640). Saint John
Damascene observes, "The Holy Catholic Church of God, therefore,
is the assembly of the holy Fathers, Patriarchs, Prophets, Apostles,
Evangelists, and Martyrs who have been from the very beginning, to whom
were added all the nations who believed with one accord" (PG 96,
1357c). According to Saint Gregory the Theologian, "The Prophets
established the Church, the Apostles conjoined it, and the Evangelists
set it in order" (PG 35, 589 A). The Church existed from the
creation of the Angels, for the Angels came into existence before the creation
of the world, and they have always been members of the Church. Saint
Clement, Bishop of Rome, says in his second epistle to the Corinthians,
the Church "was created before the sun and moon"; and a
little further on, "The Church existeth
not now for the first time, but hath been from the beginning" (II
Cor. 14).
That which came to
pass at Pentecost, then, was the ordination of the Apostles, the
commencement of the apostolic preaching to the nations, and the
inauguration of the priesthood of the new Israel. Saint Cyril of
Alexandria says that "Our Lord Jesus Christ herein ordained the
instructors and teachers of the world and the stewards of His divine
Mysteries ... showing together with the dignity of Apostleship, the
incomparable glory of the authority given them ... Revealing them to be
splendid with the great dignity of the Apostleship and showing them
forth as both stewards and priests of the divine altars . . . they
became fit to initiate others through the enlightening guidance of the
Holy Spirit" (PG 74, 708-712). Saint Gregory Palamas
says, "Now, therefore ... the Holy Spirit descended ... showing
the Disciples to be supernal luminaries ... and the distributed grace
of the Divine Spirit came through the ordination of the Apostles upon
their successors" (Homily 24, 10). And Saint Sophronius,
Bishop of Jerusalem, writes, "After the visitation of the
Comforter, the Apostles became high priests" (PG 87, 3981B).
Therefore, together with the baptism of the Holy Spirit which came upon
them who were present in the upper chamber, which the Lord had foretold
as recorded in the Acts, "ye shall be baptized with the Holy
Spirit not many days hence" (Acts 1:5), the Apostles were also
appointed and raised to the high priestly rank, according to Saint John
Chrysostom (PG 60, 21). On this day commenced the celebration of the
Holy Eucharist by which we become "partakers of the Divine
Nature" (II Peter 1:4). For before Pentecost, it is said of the
Apostles and disciples only that they abode in "prayer and
supplication" (Acts 1:14); it is only after the coming of the Holy
Spirit that they persevered in the "breaking of bread, “that is,
the communion of the Holy Mysteries-"and in prayer" (Acts
2:42).
The feast of holy
Pentecost, therefore, determined the beginning of the priesthood of
grace, not the beginning of the Church. Henceforth, the Apostles
proclaimed the good tidings "in country and town," preaching
and baptizing and appointing shepherds, imparting the priesthood to
them whom they judged were worthy to minister, as Saint Clement writes
in his first Epistle to the Corinthians (I Cor. 42).
All foods allowed
during the week following Pentecost.

SATURDAY, JUNE 29th,

PETER & PAUL, THE
HOLY APOSTLES
The divinely-blessed
Peter was from Bethsaida of Galilee. He was the son of Jonas and the
brother of Andrew the First-called. He was a fisherman by trade,
unlearned and poor, and was called Simon; later he was renamed Peter by
the Lord Jesus Christ Himself, Who looked at him and said, "Thou
art Simon the son of Jonas; thou shalt be called Cephas (which is by
interpretation, Peter)" (John 1:42). On being raised by the Lord
to the dignity of an Apostle and becoming inseparable from Him as His
zealous disciple, he followed Him from the beginning of His preaching
of salvation up until the very Passion, when, in the court of Caiaphas
the high priest, he denied Him thrice because of his fear of the Jews
and of the danger at hand. But again, after many bitter tears, he
received complete forgiveness of his transgression. After the
Resurrection of Christ and the descent of the Holy Spirit, he preached
in Judea, Antioch, and certain parts of Asia, and finally came to Rome,
where he was crucified upside down by Nero, and thus he ascended to the
eternal habitations about the year 66 or 68, leaving two Catholic
(General) Epistles to the Church of Christ.
Paul, the chosen
vessel of Christ, the glory of the Church, the Apostle of the Nations
and teacher of the whole world, was a Jew by race, of the tribe of
Benjamin, having Tarsus as his homeland. He was a Roman citizen, fluent
in the Greek language, an expert in knowledge of the Law, a Pharisee,
born of a Pharisee, and a disciple of Gamaliel, a Pharisee and notable
teacher of the Law in Jerusalem. For this cause, from the beginning,
Paul was a most fervent zealot for the traditions of the Jews and a
great persecutor of the Church of Christ; at that time, his name was
Saul (Acts 22:3-4). In his great passion of rage and fury against the
disciples of the Lord, he went to Damascus bearing letters of
introduction from the high priest. His intention was to bring the
disciples of Christ back to Jerusalem in bonds. As he was approaching
Damascus, about midday there suddenly shone upon him a light from
Heaven. Falling on the earth, he heard a voice saying to him,
"Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou
Me?" And he asked, "Who art Thou, Lord?" And the Lord
said, "I am Jesus Whom thou persecutest;
it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks." And that heavenly
voice and brilliance made him tremble, and he was blinded for a time.
He was led by the hand into the city, and on account of a divine
revelation to the Apostle Ananias (see Oct. 1), he was baptized by him,
and both his bodily and spiritual eyes were opened to the knowledge of
the Sun of Righteousness. And straightway- O wondrous transformation! -
beyond all expectation, he spoke with boldness in the synagogues,
proclaiming that "Christ is the Son of God" (Acts 9:1-21). As
for his zeal in preaching the Gospel after these things had come to
pass, as for his unabating labors and afflictions of diverse kinds, the
wounds, the prisons, the bonds, the beatings, the stonings,
the shipwrecks, the journeys, the perils on land, on sea, in cities, in
wildernesses, the continual vigils, the daily fasting, the hunger, the
thirst, the nakedness, and all those other things that he endured for
the Name of Christ, and which he underwent before nations and kings and
the Israelites, and above all, his care for all the churches, his fiery
longing for the salvation of all, whereby he became all things to all
men, that he might save them all if possible, and because of which,
with his heart aflame, he continuously traveled throughout all parts,
visiting them all, and like a bird of heaven flying from Asia and
Europe, the West and East, neither staying nor abiding in any one place
- all these things are related incident by incident in the Book of the
Acts, and as he himself tells them in his Epistles. His Epistles, being
fourteen in number, are explained in 250 homilies by the divine
Chrysostom and make manifest the loftiness of his thoughts, the
abundance of the revelations made to him, the wisdom given to him from
God, wherewith he brings together in a wondrous manner the Old with the
New Testaments, and expounds the mysteries thereof which had been
concealed under types; he confirms the doctrines of the Faith, expounds
the ethical teaching of the Gospel, and demonstrates with exactness the
duties incumbent upon every rank, age, and order of man. In all these
things his teaching proved to be a spiritual trumpet, and his speech
was seen to be more radiant than the sun, and by these means he clearly
sounded forth the word of truth and illumined the ends of the world.
Having completed the work of his ministry, he likewise ended his life
in martyrdom when he was beheaded in Rome during the reign of Nero, at
the same time, some say, when Peter was crucified.

============================
STEWARDSHIP 2019
Stewardship is a
way of life, which acknowledges accountability, reverence, and
responsibility before God. A primary goal of Stewardship is to promote
spiritual growth and strengthen faith. Becoming a Steward begins when
we believe in God, to whom we give our love, loyalty and trust and act
on those beliefs. As Stewards, we affirm that every aspect of our lives
comes as a gift from Him. Stewardship calls on the faithful to
cheerfully offer back to God a portion of the gifts with which they
have been blessed.
An Orthodox
Christian Steward is an active participant in the life of the Church.
The parish encourages all who accept the Orthodox Faith to become
practicing Stewards. Each year the Steward is expected to carefully
review his or her personal circumstances and make a commitment of time,
talent, and treasure to support the Parish and her Ministries, which in
turn support the National Ministries of our Archdiocese, Metropolises,
and institutions.
Effective
stewardship ministry is not a single event or project. Rather, it is
going out to our people wherever they are in their walk with Christ,
listening to their concerns, helping them to realize their importance
as branches of the True Vine and encouraging them to offer their gifts
in His service. We use various resources to support our efforts, but
unless we meet with our people personally, sincerely listen to their
ideas and concerns, and share a vision for the future of the parish,
our efforts will not reach their full potential.
In Oriented
Leadership their book on Orthodox Christian leadership, Williams and
McKibben define stewardship as the call of the faithful to share
willingly the gifts that God has bestowed on them, including sharing
these gifts for God’s work. Stewardship is devotion and service to God
and His Church as persons, as families, as a Parish, as a Metropolis,
as a National Church, and as the Church Universal. Stewardship is our
active commitment to use ALL our time, talent and treasure for the
benefit of humankind in grateful acknowledgement of Christ’s redeeming
love.
In the words of
Fr. William Chiganos of Holy Apostles Church
in Westchester, Illinois, “…people don’t give to need; they give to
vision…. Church people don’t stretch their giving because of need to
meet the budget; they give more because they are able to see a vision
of people being reached and God’s purposes being accomplished in the
life of the church and its ministry.” Parishes with successful Orthodox
Christian Stewardship Programs have found that incredible support is
unleashed from Stewards who unselfishly and joyfully offer their time,
talent and treasures, which in turn enhances the spirituality and
ministry of the local parish.
