"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.

Confession and Communion are the two sacraments we most often partake of as Orthodox Christians and thus it behooves us to learn about these, how to prepare for these, and how to best take advantage of the Grace that our Lord freely gives us in these sacraments. At St. Vladimir’s we have created a special web site for this purpose with much information in this regard. Please find the web site listed below and please contact Fr. Gregory with questions!

DIVINE SERVICES FOR SUNDAY, APRIL 7, 2024

JOIN US!

The third Sunday of Great Lent marks the halfway point of the fast. That third Sunday is the coming Sunday, and this Sunday is always dedicated to the Veneration of the Cross. But this year we have the blessing to also have the feast of the Annunciation of the Theotoks fall on this Sunday. So not only do we mark the midway point of the fast, but we also will celebrate one of the most important holidays of the Church Year. Please plan to join us for the Vigil on Saturday night, replete with the beautiful hymns to the Mother of God sung only on this day, as well as Divine Liturgy this coming Sunday!
