EPISTLE READING. The reading is from St. Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians 15:1-11

Transcription

1 Welcome to Saint Nicholas on this Sunday, August 19, 2018 Today we commemorate: 12th Sunday of Matthew Andrew the General & Martyr & his 2,593 soldiers Holy Martyrs Timothy, Agapius and Thecla Theophanes the New Wonderworker of Macedonia EPISTLE READING St. Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians 15:1-11 Prokeimenon. Mode 3. Psalm 46.6,1 Sing praises to our God, sing praises. Verse: Clap your hands, all you nations. The reading is from St. Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians 15:1-11 Brethren, I would remind you in what terms I preached to you the gospel, which you received, in which you stand, by which you are saved, if you hold it fast -- unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. Then he appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me. For I am the least of the apostles, unfit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God which is with me. Whether then it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed.

2 Πρὸς Κορινθίους α' 15:1-11 Προκείμενον. Ήχος γ'. ΨΑΛΜΟΙ 46.6,1 Ψάλατε τῷ Θεῷ ἡμῶν, ψάλατε. Στίχ. Πάντα τὰ ἔθνη κροτήσατε χεῖρας. Πρὸς Κορινθίους α' 15:1-11 τὸ ἀνάγνωσμα είναι απο Ἀδελφοί, γνωρίζω δὲ ὑμῖν, ἀδελφοί, τὸ εὐαγγέλιον ὃ εὐηγγελισάμην ὑμῖν, ὃ καὶ παρελάβετε, ἐν ᾧ καὶ ἑστήκατε, διʼ οὗ καὶ σῴζεσθε τίνι λόγῳ εὐηγγελισάμην ὑμῖν, εἰ κατέχετε, ἐκτὸς εἰ μὴ εἰκῇ ἐπιστεύσατε. Παρέδωκα γὰρ ὑμῖν ἐν πρώτοις, ὃ καὶ παρέλαβον, ὅτι Χριστὸς ἀπέθανεν ὑπὲρ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν ἡμῶν κατὰ τὰς γραφάς. καὶ ὅτι ἐτάφη καὶ ὅτι ἐγήγερται τῇ τρίτῃ ἡμέρᾳ κατὰ τὰς γραφάς καὶ ὅτι ὤφθη Κηφᾷ, εἶτα τοῖς δώδεκα ἔπειτα ὤφθη ἐπάνω πεντακοσίοις ἀδελφοῖς ἐφάπαξ, ἐξ ὧν οἱ πλείους μένουσιν ἕως ἄρτι, τινὲς δὲ καὶ ἐκοιμήθησαν ἔπειτα ὤφθη Ἰακώβῳ, εἶτα τοῖς ἀποστόλοις πᾶσιν ἔσχατον δὲ πάντων, ὡσπερεὶ τῷ ἐκτρώματι, ὤφθη κἀμοί. Ἐγὼ γάρ εἰμι ὁ ἐλάχιστος τῶν ἀποστόλων, ὃς οὐκ εἰμὶ ἱκανὸς καλεῖσθαι ἀπόστολος, διότι ἐδίωξα τὴν ἐκκλησίαν τοῦ θεοῦ. Χάριτι δὲ θεοῦ εἰμι ὅ εἰμι, καὶ ἡ χάρις αὐτοῦ ἡ εἰς ἐμὲ οὐ κενὴ ἐγενήθη, ἀλλὰ περισσότερον αὐτῶν πάντων ἐκοπίασα, οὐκ ἐγὼ δέ, ἀλλʼ ἡ χάρις τοῦ θεοῦ ἡ σὺν ἐμοί. Εἴτε οὖν ἐγώ, εἴτε ἐκεῖνοι, οὕτως κηρύσσομεν καὶ οὕτως ἐπιστεύσατε.

3 GOSPEL READING The Gospel According to Matthew 19:16-26 At that time, a young man came up to Jesus, kneeling and saying, "Good Teacher, what good deed must I do, to have eternal life?" And he said to him, "Why do you call me good? One there is who is good. If you would enter life, keep the commandments." He said to him, "Which?" And Jesus said, "You shall not kill, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness, Honor your father and mother, and You shall love your neighbor as yourself." The young man said to him, "All these I have observed; what do I still lack?" Jesus said to him, "If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me." When the young man heard this he went away sorrowful; for he had great possessions. And Jesus said to his disciples, "Truly, I say to you, it will be hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." When the disciples heard this they were greatly astonished, saying, "Who then can be saved?" But Jesus looked at them and said to them, "With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." Ἐκ τοῦ Κατὰ Ματθαῖον 19:16-26 Εὐαγγελίου τὸ Ἀνάγνωσμα Τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ, νεανίσκος τις προσῆλθε τῷ Ἰησοῦ, γονυπετῶν αὐτόν, καὶ λέγων Διδάσκαλε ἀγαθέ, τί ἀγαθὸν ποιήσω ἵνα ἔχω ζωὴν αἰώνιον; O δὲ εἶπεν αὐτῷ τί με λέγεις ἀγαθόν; οὐδεὶς ἀγαθὸς εἰ μὴ εἷς ὁ Θεός. εἰ δὲ θέλεις εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὴν ζωήν, τήρησον τὰς ἐντολάς. λέγει αὐτῷ ποίας; ὁ δὲ Ιησοῦς εἶπε τὸ οὐ φονεύσεις, οὐ μοιχεύσεις, οὐ κλέψεις, οὐ ψευδομαρτυρήσεις, τίμα τὸν πατέρα καὶ τὴν μητέρα, καὶ ἀγαπήσεις τὸν πλησίον σου ὡς σεαυτόν. λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ νεανίσκος πάντα ταῦτα ἐφυλαξάμην ἐκ νεότητός μου τί ἔτι ὑστερῶ; ἔφη αὐτῷ ὁ Ιησοῦς εἰ θέλεις τέλειος εἶναι, ὕπαγε πώλησόν σου τὰ ὑπάρχοντα καὶ δὸς πτωχοῖς, καὶ ἕξεις θησαυρὸν ἐν οὐρανῷ, καὶ δεῦρο ἀκολούθει μοι. ἀκούσας δὲ ὁ νεανίσκος τὸν λόγον ἀπῆλθε λυπούμενος ἦν γὰρ ἔχων κτήματα πολλά. Ο δὲ Ιησοῦς εἶπε τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι δυσκόλως πλούσιος εἰσελεύσεται εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τῶν οὐρανῶν. πάλιν δὲ λέγω ὑμῖν, εὐκοπώτερόν ἐστι κάμηλον διὰ τρυπήματος ῥαφίδος διελθεῖν ἢ πλούσιον εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ εἰσελθεῖν. ἀκούσαντες δὲ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ ἐξεπλήσσοντο σφόδρα λέγοντες τίς ἄρα δύναται σωθῆναι; ἐμβλέψας δὲ ὁ Ιησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς παρὰ ἀνθρώποις τοῦτο ἀδύνατόν ἐστι, παρὰ δὲ Θεῷ πάντα δυνατά ἐστι.

10 God Works In Mysterious Ways By Eleni Malandrinos This incident happened two years ago. I had gone to a doctor because I was going to have Hernia Surgery. I had not particularly cared for this doctor right from the beginning, but my husband assured me that he was fine, that there was no need for me to be afraid. I went ahead and continued with him and paid ahead of time for the surgery. As time went on I made a frightening discovery! He the doctor, that was doing my surgery, did not like women! I was scared! I had paid him for the surgery and now if I changed my mind I would probably only get back half my money or none of it. So, I had to proceed with getting that surgery. I prayed many times over, that God would give me a sign. A sign that everything would be ok. As I was going to read my women s daily devotional one day, the first thing that appeared to me was just believe in Me. I felt that God was speaking to me, like that was my first sign from Him. On the day of my surgery, my son and I were driving to the hospital. I decided to get some gas, making sure that we wouldn t get stranded later on the way home. As I pulled up to the gas station guess who I saw? It was a nun! putting gas in her car! I parked near her. I was thrilled and crazed, that I jumped out of my car and said THANK YOU GOD, for sending me another sign. I went over to the nun and as I explained my story to her, she became wildly excited and kept saying Wait Wait!! I have something for you!!! She kept running around her car trying to figure out where she put what she was looking for. I found it! My Holy Water, she yelled. Right then and there at the gas station the nun anointed me. That was my sign from God that I needed, letting me know that everything was going to be alright. I thanked her and we all felt the excitement of this true blessing. It amazes me how God does work in truly mysterious ways. PSALM: 56:3-4 When I am afraid, I will put my trust in the Lord. In God, whose word I praise, In God I have put my trust; I shall not be afraid.

11 My Spiritual Journey By: John Fowler This is my Spiritual Journey that lasted from my Senior year in High School (1964) until September 20, 1987 at St. Elias Greek Orthodox Church in San Bernardino. Over that span of 23 years, there was not one defining moment but several Priest (Episcopalian, Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox) a Rabbi and two college professors. As a child, Church was where my mother dragged me to on Sundays. My dad was baptized and confirmed Episcopalian but as an adult became an atheist or agnostic as my mother didn t think it sounded as bad. My mother really didn t understand Theology but was a committed Christian. We would attend the neighborhood church wherever we lived, usually Lutheran or Episcopalian, as long as it wasn t Catholic. Lent of 1964, the Vicar at the Episcopalian Church, where I was attending, would be having special talks entitled What is an Anglo-Catholic. I enrolled. The priest there, Father Sculley based it on the Anglican Missal (based on Book of Common Prayer 1928, with Catholic additions). During that time Fr. Sculley and I had many conversations. Those four weeks ended up going until I started college that September. What I came away with was the love of the Eucharist and becoming a committed Christian. My early college years were filled with The Fraternity, parties and going out dancing (a normal young and foolish college student). I still managed to go to Mass on Sundays, carried my Rosary carefully hidden at all times. Very much a proud Anglo-Catholic and member of the Episcopal Church. But that changed quickly, in September 1966, when I met my future wife Phyllis at a dance. She had just graduated from St. Anthony s High School when we began to date. Before long we were head over heels in Love and by April were engaged to be married. I began attending Roman Catholic Mass with Phyllis, with no interest of converting. I had a real problem with certain Roman Catholic Dogma. But as time went on I did convert, not in faith but for the love I had in my Phyllis. We were married November 18, During the next ten to twelve years, I noticed a big change in the Catholic Church, of which I was not pleased and felt that I had made a big mistake converting. During the late 1970 s early 1980 s my wife, for her own personal reasons left the church. I stopped attending the Catholic Church, made a few attempts of going to the Episcopal Church. I was at my lowest point spiritually not knowing where to turn! That is when I decided to return to college, fix my Fraternity years, finish my BA and go on to Graduate School for my master s in history. I decided on Cal State Fullerton, because they had an outstanding Religious Studies department and I would be able to take religion classes on the side in order to discover who I was. Once back in college I made a decision that I would find out exactly where I belonged spiritually. The results six years later I would never have guessed. I began with Jewish Studies as it is the corner stone of Christianity. Of the 4-5 classes which I took, I met the most wonderful man, Rabbi Bergmann. In his early 60 s a part time instructor, he glowed with his love of God and his faith thru his example. He made the study of scripture a joy. I also took several Christian Studies. These classes were taught by an ex-roman Catholic Priest, Dr.George Saint Laurent. I took four of his classes which were part of my Graduate Program in history. But the person who made the biggest difference was Dr. Charles Frazee, also an ex-roman Catholic priest. He taught Eastern European History, Church History I and II along with Byzantine History and Eastern Orthodoxy of which I took all of his classes. In the two and half years I got to know Fr. Frazee and he got to know me. We would talk often mostly about religion and my struggles. During this time I became familiar with St. Vladimir s Seminary Press and read everything I could on Eastern Orthodoxy. But finally one day in Dr.Frazee s office, he looked at me and said; John, you can t be a Roman Catholic if you don t accept all of their Dogma! You should

12 either go back to the Episcopal Church or follow your heart to the Orthodox Church. You have to make a commitment, or you will never find peace. After the advice of my college professor Dr. Frazee, to follow my heart and search out Orthodoxy, I went to St. Elias in San Bernardino. It was there that I met Fr. Peter Costarakis. I explained to him my background, what I had been studying and my desire to become Orthodox. We talked for about an hour and agreed to meet casually several times a month. I recall him saying to me as I was leaving, John I will see you next Sunday at Liturgy. Sunday, I sat in the last pew and observed Liturgy. Wow it was beautiful! I knew at that moment that I wanted to be Orthodox. Not because of what some book said, but because I wanted to experience it as a member. After several months, Fr. Peter asked me when I wanted to be Chrismated, and without hesitation I said, how about next Sunday. He asked me who I wanted as my sponsor. My reply was I don t know anyone! Immediately he went behind the Iconostasis and called Andrew I would like you to meet someone. He introduced Sub-Deacon Andrew Lesko to me and said Andrew this is John Fowler, would you like to be his sponsor in Chrismation? I remember Fr. Andrew saying, I would be honored. And so, it was on September 20, 1987 that I became a member of God s Holy Church The Greek Orthodox Church thru the Sacrament of Chrismation. Through job changes and life events, we moved to Northern California and met many priests. Each planting in me seeds of knowledge in Orthodoxy, which little by little helped me to grow in the faith. Several years after retirement, we returned to Southern California and purchased our home in Menifee. Life is truly amazing for who would know that the Sub-Deacon who sponsored me in Chrismation, many years ago is now my Parish Priest, planting more seeds of his knowledge of Orthodoxy here at St. Nicholas Orthodox Church in Murrieta. No, my Spiritual Journey was not one special event but a long hard road for this 17-year-old Anglo-Catholic Episcopalian to Roman Catholicism and finally to Orthodoxy. Many planted their seeds of faith in my heart, but now at 72 years old, I still have so much more to learn, but I have arrived at my Spiritual Home in God s Holy Church. I have peace. PSALM: 32:8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go; I will counsel you with My eye upon you. MATT: 7:7-8 Ask and it shall be given to you; seek and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it shall be opened. Divine guidance is always with us. God speaks to us in many ways through the still, small voice in our times of prayer and through the unexpected yet perfectly timed suggestion of someone. There is no limit to what God can do through us and through others. Thank you, John, for sharing your inspiring story. It is truly meaningful to see how you chose to trust God and opened yourself to His love and goodwill. Blessings to you always. Rosemary Georgiou
