Monday First Things - Teachings of the Holy Fathers 
18/9/23, 06:00 AM
Posted by Fr. Gregory

“Be careful not to be frightened. Don’t be surprised when cannonballs start falling, but stand valiantly as a soldier of Christ, as a practiced combatant, as a brave warrior. For this present life here is a battlefield. Repose will be in that life there. Here is exile; there is our true homeland.”

Scripture Reading for the Coming Week 
17/9/23, 06:00 PM
Posted by Fr. Gregory

"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.

Monday: Galatians 4:28-5:10 & Mark 6:54-7:8
Tuesday: Galatians 5:11-21 & Mark 7:5-16
Wednesday: Galatians 6:2-10 & Mark 7:14-24
Thursday: Ephesians 1:1-9 & Mark 7:24-30
Friday: Ephesians 1:7-17 & Mark 8:1-10
Saturday: I Corinthians 10:23-28 & Matthew 24:34-44

Ïîíåäåëüíèê: Ãàë. 4:28-5:10 è îò Ìàðêà 6:54-7:8
Âòîðíèê: Ãàë. 5:11-21 è îò Ìàðêà 7:5-16
Ñðåäà: Ãàë. 6:2-10 è îò Ìàðêà 7:14-24
×åòâåðã: Åô. 1:1-9 è îò Ìàðêà 7:24-30
Ïÿòíèöà: Åô. 1:7-17 è îò Ìàðêà 8:1-10
Ñóááîòà: I Êîð. 10:23-28 è îò Ìàòôåÿ 24:34-44

Confession & Communion at St. Vladimir’s + Rule to Prepare for Communion 
17/9/23, 06:00 AM
Posted by Fr. Gregory

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!

Lampadas above the Royal Doors - Please be Attentive 
14/9/23, 06:00 PM
Posted by Fr. Gregory

We ask all to be attentive to the system we have devised to help folks know when they can and when they cannot move about during the Divine Services to light candles, etc. Even as we ask all to be attentive we also ask all to be loving, and if someone clearly is not aware that we have reached a time in the Divine Service when we should be still that we share that information with them lovingly and in a way that will not cause embarrassment. Please contact Fr. Gregory with questions or concerns. The ideal time to venerate icons and light candles is before the Divine Liturgy if at all possible. If not possible - please attend to the lampadas above the Royal Doors!
