HELP US PREPARE FOR WINTER - YOUR HELP IS NEEDED!

Many have asked for a prayer they could read entreating the Lord for peace in the Holy Land. This prayer was distributed throughout the Russian Orthodox Church during Great Lent 2017 to be read at the Holy Saturday Divine Liturgy that year. It seems quite appropriate, and we hope you find it helpful.

“God’s actions are not like those of us men. With all patience, He gradually works out the salvation of all those who want to be saved.”

Monastic Wisdom: The Letters of Elder Joseph the Hesychast by Elder Joseph Hesychast

"This is the cause of all evils: the ignorance of the Scriptures. We go into battle without arms, and how ought we to come off safe?" -St. John Chrysostom, Homily IX on Colossians.

In order to help increase the general knowledge of scripture in our parish family we present here for your edification the scripture readings for the coming week. At least one Gospel Reading and one Epistle reading are assigned for each day of the year (although during Great Lent the readings are from the Old Testament). Hearing or reading only those readings appointed for Sunday merely scratches the surface of the great spiritual wealth that the scriptures provide us. Some of the readings are easily understandable – others are less so. As Orthodox Christians we do not make private interpretation of scripture, but rather consult the fathers of the Church for their explanations to aid us in our understanding. Those wishing to have access to such explanations are asked to contact Fr. Gregory or inquire in the kiosk for further reading in this regard. Bibles may also be acquired in the kiosk.
