1 Vol. 2, No. 2 St. Elizabeth Orthodox Church February 2009 From Fr. Frederick In the Orthodox tradition there are five Saturdays in the course of the Church s year that are designated All Soul Saturdays. These Saturdays are: to pray for them, and by constantly giving (alms) to the poor in their behalf (Chrysostom, Homily onparish Houseilippians 3, 4). It is of great comfort for us, the surviving 1. Saturday before Sunday friends and relatives of our faith- of Meat-fare 2. 2nd Saturday of Lent 3. 3rd Saturday of Lent 4. 4th Saturday of Lent 5. Saturday before Pentecost As Orthodox Christians we often neglect our Christian responsibility of praying for the dead. In many of our parishes it is only the priest with a few people who attend the All Soul Saturday liturgies. As the story, Advocates from Beyond the Grave (a true story found elsewhere in this newsletter) tells us, prayer for the departed is pleasing to God. In response to our prayers for the departed, Our Lord will show mercy upon our departed loved ones and us. ful departed, to be able to help them and thus remain united to them by a bond of everlasting love. St. Ambrose (died, 397), preaching on the fortieth day after the death of Emperor Theodosius in 395, said this:... I love the man (Emperor Theodosius) and I will not abandon him until, by my tears and prayers, I shall lead him into the Holy Mountain of God, where there is life eternal! (Ambrose, Funeral Oration on Theodosius, 37) The custom of offering prayers and sacrifices for the departed comes to us from the Old Testament. Holy Scripture praises the custom in the II Maccabees 12:45: It is therefore, a holy and One of the oldest traditions in the Church, equally observed in the West Continued on page 1 as in the East, is the commemoration of the departed in our liturgical prayers. It is the constant teaching of the Church since Apostolic times that our prayers, offerings and good deeds can help the departed. St. John Chrysostom (died, 407) in speaking of the faithful departed, reminded his people; Let us assist them according to our power. Let us think of some advantage for them, small though it be, but let us This month's newsletter is a short one to match the month. We're missing several of our regular contributors this month. Also, our interview feature which I had hoped to get back on track is running a little behind. Look for it next month. assist them. How and in what way?

2 From Fr. Frederick continued from page 1 wholesome thought to pray for the dead that they may be loosed from sins. St. Paul prayed for his devoted friend OnesiParish Houseorus that the Lord grant him mercy as he stands before God s judgment seat (see II Timothy 1:18). From the beginning of Christianity, local churches kept regirs of their living members as well as those who departed. These regirs were folding tablets made of wood, ivory, or precious metals artistically decorated with carvings and bound together by rings. They are known as diptychs, taken from the Greek word diptychon, which means anything folded in two. These were used in Church to commemorate the living and the dead at the Divine Liturgy since the fourth century. The custom of announcing the names of the deceased from the diptychs during the liturgical services can be traced back to the first From The Editor continued from page 1 I've been out of town for a family funeral. I wrote a reflection about it on page 4. It really fit in with the theme of this month's newsletter. I am also having trouble recovering from a repeat bone marrow biopsy. The good news is that my cancer is in remission! Thank you for your prayers and concern over the past two years. We have included a few announcements about Lent and a provisional calendar so that you can centuries of Christianity. Already in the fourth century, the practice was strongly defended by St. EpiParish Houseanius (d. 403) as a firmly established tradition in the Church. In his Panarios (75, 8), he writes: Concerning the ritual of reading the names of the deceased, what can be more useful or suitable; what can be more worthy of admiration? Our ancestors have transmitted this venerable custom to us. Every year, just before Meat-Fare Saturday, parish families give the lists of their departed loved ones to the priest with the request that they be mentioned at the services held for the deceased on the All Souls Saturdays. The first All-Souls Saturday would be normally scheduled for February 21. As I will be out of town on that day, the first All-Souls Saturday Divine Liturgy and Parish Panachida will be on Saturday, February 28, 9:00 am. Please provide any names of your departed loved ones to me by that date.. begin to prepare for this busy time in the church year. As more news becomes available about our move to the chapel at the Woodstock Funeral Home, we plan to send you a special edition of the St. Elizabeth News to inform you of all the details. As always, your contributions are most welcome. Much love, Angie In This Month s Issue: From Fr.

3 Advocates from Beyond the Grave In the reign of Nicholas I, when Bishop Parthenius Chertkov, brought up in the great aristocratic family of Naruishkin, occupied the See of V ladimir ( ), one priest, a certain Fr. Abbacum, occupied the poorest parish in the diocese. The son of a sexton, he married a poor girl and they lived in great poverty. Fr.Abbacum was a mighty man of prayer and particularly loved to pray for the dead. He had a special notebook, where he entered the names of all the dead of whom he might have heard. He mentioned them not only during the proskomedia (prayers in preparation for the Divine Liturgy), but also in his private prayers, morning and evening. For this reason his prayers lasted for hours. This often displeased his wife, who used to say, You should give up those long, supplementar y prayers and help me at the house, garden, etc., for I am very tired. You are neither a monk nor a recluse. If you want to pray so long, go to the Bishop and ask for a better parish where we could afford servants. Then you may pray as long as you like. Fr. Abbacum used to respond by saying that prayer is the first duty of a priest and must not be neglected. Concerning a better parish, Fr. Abbacum thought that it was unseemly to beg for one from his Bishop. They should wait with patience, until he offered such a post. His wife reluctantly agreed. Meanwhile, the best parish in the diocese became vacant. It was in a large and rich industrial town. Over two hundred applications were made to the Bishop. Among the applicants were professors of the Seminary, Rural Deans, Mars of Divinity, and mitered Archpriests. Nearly all the applications were accompanied by letters of recommendation from prominent clergymen and laymen, including the Governor of the Vladimir Province himself. After looking through all those applications, the Bishop, failing to come to any decision, went to bed. Hardly had he closed his eyes when he saw before him a large crowd of people, of both sexes and of various ages and stations, who respectfully begged the Bishop to appoint Fr. Abbacum to the vacant parish. The Bishop knew nothing of Fr. Abbacum s existence. The Bishop woke, crossed himself, and went to sleep again. The same crowd appeared again before him with the same request. Who are you, the Bishop asked, and why do you like Fr. Abbacum so much? We are dead people who were forgiven by God and entered the Kingdom of Heaven thanks to the prayers of Fr. Abbacum, the crowd answered and disappeared. The next morning the Bishop called in the Secretary of the Consistory and asked him to find out at what parish there was a priest named Abbacum and to invite him to come to Vladimir. There was only one Fr. Abbacum in the diocese. One day his Rural Dean came to him with an order to appear before the Bishop as soon as possible. Did you commit some mistake or misdeed, Father? the worried Dean asked him. No, I don t remember any such thing, Fr. Abbacum answered. I go with a clear conscience, except I have no money for the trip. The Dean lent him the money. Within a few days Fr. Abbacum appeared before the Bishop, who at once recognized him from the dream. Well, Fr. Abbacum, the Bishop said, the best parish in my diocese is vacant and 200 applications have been sent in for it. Many prominent persons recommended the applicants, but your advocates from the other world were the strongest of all. I appoint you Pastor of that parish, and when I too shall go the way of all flesh, I beg you to pray for me. The Bishop then told Fr. Abbacum of his dream. God alone knows the future, Fr. Vassian said, but we should pray for the dead. They are truly our advocates. We request the canonized saints to implore the mercy of God for us. But there are many unknown saints who may help us. It is a good and honorable thing to pray for the dead.

4 My Uncle Pomp by Angie King As I have read Fr. Frederick s column and additional story about praying for the dead, my mind has been very much drawn to my presence on February 1 at the burial in the morning and then Baptist memorial service in the afternoon for my dad s brother who would have been 88 years old in March. In 1980, when my parents were in Saudi Arabia for 2 years, I was unable to see them and a visit with Uncle Pomp reminded me so much of my dad. They didn t look alike, but they talked like one another and their hand gestures were so similar. Over this last weekend, I heard a story that a visiting minister at my cousin s church told a story during the sermon that made her chuckle and then laugh. She approached him afterward and said, I want to know 2 things. First, where did you hear that story? And second, how do you know my uncle? She explained that the story was one told by her dad and my dad endlessly and she didn t think the visiting minister knew her dad. Therefore, he must have heard it from her Uncle Jacob Berger, my dad. He thought for a moment and replied that he had indeed heard it from Jake, a former parishioner. When I left the family gathering, I stopped to visit my parents in another state on the way home. They had been too ill to travel to Virginia. My dad has Alzheimer s, but somehow I had a new vision of my dad. I remembered him in all his story-telling glory. I was able to connect with him in a way that I had not been able to since he had been ill. He also rose to the occasion as I described all the family members who were there and my interactions with them. My uncle was never baptized and never joined the church. We never knew why and it was a great source of pain to my aunt. They had been married for 66 years the day before his death. He had been faithful in his attendance at church. He was a kind man and a moral man. He had a strong work ethic and even worked on the farm the day before his stroke. His son was his Sunday School teacher. His children, grandchildren, and greatgrandchildren are moral and upright citizens who follow his example of life. His father took him along with the rest of the children to the local Baptist church close to the farm while their mother went to the Kingdom Hall of the Jehovah s Witnesses and spent her life trying to get her children and extended family to join her. One daughter did. At the memorial service, the minister addressed Uncle Pomp s reticence to openly declare himself as a Christian in a formal fashion. He also told the story of a Mennonite man who said the only way to tell if he was a Christian was to ask five people who knew him well. I find comfort in what I have read in these articles while putting this newsletter together. I mentioned my travel to the family funeral to a Ukrainian Orthodox priest who is a friend of mine on Facebook. He wrote on my wall: Angie May God grant your uncle the Kingdom of Heaven Vechnaya Pam yat! Nancy, Jacob, Pomp, Minnie Vol.2, No.2 4 February 2009
5 Bits and Pieces February Happy Birthday! 02 Bill Knuth 08 Richard James 08 Fred Mileshko 13 Paulette Novak 25 Peter Blanar No anniversaries this month... Happy Anniversary! Notes on the March Calendar for Great Lent: The Great Canon of St. Andrew of Crete will be served with Small Compline at the traditional time the first week of Lent. This penitential canon is sung in four parts, one each of the first four days of Great Lent. We shall serve this as a reader s service, which means that all parts will be simply chanted and not sung according to proper tones. This way, everyone who attends can participate, reading portions in whatever way he or she feels comfortable. On Monday and Wednesday of that first week, Small Compline and the first and third parts of the Great Canon will be served following the Divine Liturgy of the Pre-Sanctified. On Tuesday and Thursday, Small Compline and the Great Canon will be served alone, all services beginning at 7:00 pm. B e g i n n i ng w it h t he Divine Liturgy of the Pre- Sanctified on Friday of the first week of Great Lent (March 6), we shall offer a Soup Supper following the Divine Liturgy. All who attend will be invited to join Fr. Frederick and Pani for a light supper of homemade Dates of the 2009 All-Souls Saturdays February 28: Saturday after Meatfare Sunday March 14: 2nd Saturday in Lent March 21: 3rd Saturday in Lent March 28: 4th Saturday in Lent June 6: Saturday before Pentcost bread and Fr. Frederick s Lenten soup creations. Do join us as often as you can. Wednesday, March 25, is, however, a feast day, the only weekday in Great Lent on which the Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom is served. That liturgy will be served in place of the Divine Liturgy of the Pre-Sanctified. Soup Supper (fish, wine and oil allowed) will follow that service as well. Please provide Fr. Frederick with all names of de- ceased family members who are to be remembered at the Parish Panachidas served with the Divine Liturgy on the Soul Saturdays of Great Lent. Vol.2, No.2 5 February 2009
