We present here a short educational offering for both children and adults on the upcoming Sunday's principle Gospel reading so that all can better prepare for the Divine Services. Parents are asked to review the children’s portion with their children. It is very important for us to attend the Divine Services on Sundays and whenever else we are able, but in addition it is our spiritual responsibility to educate ourselves and our families in the faith. It is our hope that this mid-week offering will be an aid in this regard. Please contact Fr. Gregory with questions or suggestions.
For Various Ages: from the Antiochian Archdiocese (various age groups)

Wednesday, April 24 – LAST EVENING PRESANCTIFIED 2024
Matins & Great Lenten Hours
Утреня и великопостные
часы 3:00 p.m.
Presanctified Liturgy
Литургия Преждеосвященных Даров ~6:00 p.m.
Following Liturgy: Lenten Dinner ~ После Литургии: Постный Ужин
The Liturgical Fast for those communing begins after breakfast. In other words, you may eat breakfast, but eat or drink nothing further after that. Parents should use their best judgment regarding their children, as always. Those who confessed on the weekend prior to the Wednesday Presanctified need not confess again on/before Wednesday.
Пост для причащающихся начинается после завтрака, т.е. можно позавтракать, но не пить и не есть после завтрака. Как всегда, родители должны сами решить, что лучше всего подходит для детей. Исповедовавшиеся в предшествующую субботу или воскресенье в среду могут не исповедоваться.

...the day of the eucharistic Mystery par excellence is the day of the Lord’s Resurrection, the Lord’s day: Sunday symbolizes time transcended, because it is at once the first day of creation and the eighth day of the kingdom. It is the ‘day without evening, perpetual and unending. It is not that it does not yet exist, but that it is going to exist. No: it existed before the ages, it exists now, and it will exist to the endless ages.’
“The Divine Liturgy – A Commentary in the Light of the Fathers” by Hieromonk Gregorios
Quotations from St. John Chrysostom, St. Basil the Great, St. Simeon the New Theologian

"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.
