1 Welcome to Saint Nicholas on this Sunday, August 26, 2018 Today we commemorate: 13th Sunday of Matthew The Holy Martyrs Adrian and Natalie Our Righteous Father Joseph Icon of the Mother of God of Vladimir EPISTLE READING St. Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians 16:13-24 Prokeimenon. Mode 4. Psalm ,1 O Lord, how manifold are your works. You have made all things in wisdom. Verse: Bless the Lord, O my soul. The reading is from St. Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians 16:13-24 Brethren, be watchful, stand firm in your faith, be courageous, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love. Now, brethren, you know that the household of Stephanas were the first converts in Achaia, and they have devoted themselves to the service of the saints; I urge you to be subject to such men and to every fellow worker and laborer. I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicos, because they have made up for your absence; for they refreshed my spirit as well as yours. Give recognition to such men. The churches of Asia send greetings. Aquila and Prisca, together with the church in their house, send you hearty greetings in the Lord. All the brethren send greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss. I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. If any one has no love for the Lord, let him be accursed. Our Lord, come! The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you. My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.

Πρὸς Κορινθίους α' 16:13-24 τὸ ἀνάγνωσμα είναι απο Ἀδελφοί, γρηγορεῖτε, στήκετε ἐν τῇ πίστει, ἀνδρίζεσθε, κραταιοῦσθε. Πάντα ὑμῶν ἐν ἀγάπῃ γινέσθω. Παρακαλῶ δὲ ὑμᾶς, ἀδελφοί - οἴδατε τὴν οἰκίαν Στεφανᾶ, ὅτι ἐστὶν ἀπαρχὴ τῆς Ἀχαΐας, καὶ εἰς διακονίαν τοῖς ἁγίοις ἔταξαν ἑαυτούς - ἵνα καὶ ὑμεῖς ὑποτάσσησθε τοῖς τοιούτοις, καὶ παντὶ τῷ συνεργοῦντι καὶ κοπιῶντι. Χαίρω δὲ ἐπὶ τῇ παρουσίᾳ Στεφανᾶ καὶ Φουρτουνάτου καὶ Ἀχαϊκοῦ, ὅτι τὸ ὑμῶν ὑστέρημα οὗτοι ἀνεπλήρωσαν. Ἀνέπαυσαν γὰρ τὸ ἐμὸν πνεῦμα καὶ τὸ ὑμῶν ἐπιγινώσκετε οὖν τοὺς τοιούτους. Ἀσπάζονται ὑμᾶς αἱ ἐκκλησίαι τῆς Ἀσίας ἀσπάζονται ὑμᾶς ἐν κυρίῳ πολλὰ Ἀκύλας καὶ Πρίσκιλλα, σὺν τῇ κατʼ οἶκον αὐτῶν ἐκκλησίᾳ. Ἀσπάζονται ὑμᾶς οἱ ἀδελφοὶ πάντες. Ἀσπάσασθε ἀλλήλους ἐν φιλήματι ἁγίῳ. Ὁ ἀσπασμὸς τῇ ἐμῇ χειρὶ Παύλου. Εἴ τις οὐ φιλεῖ τὸν κύριον Ἰησοῦν Χριστόν, ἤτω ἀνάθεμα. Μαρὰν ἀθά. Ἡ χάρις τοῦ κυρίου Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ μεθʼ ὑμῶν. Ἡ ἀγάπη μου μετὰ πάντων ὑμῶν ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ. Ἀμήν. GOSPEL READING The Gospel According to Matthew 21:33-42 The Lord said this parable, "There was a householder who planted a vineyard, and set a hedge around it, and dug a wine press in it, and built a tower, and let it out to tenants, and went into another country. When the season of fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants, to get his fruit; and the tenants took his servants and beat one, killed another, and stoned another. Again he sent other servants, more than the first; and they did the same to them. Afterward he sent his son to them, saying 'They will respect my son.' But when the tenants saw the son, they said to themselves, 'This is the heir; come, let us kill him and have his inheritance.' And they took him and cast him out of the vineyard and killed him. When therefore the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?" They said to him, "He will put those wretches to a miserable death, and let out the vineyard to other tenants who will give him the fruits in their seasons." Jesus said to them, "Have you never read in the scriptures: 'The very stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner; this was the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes?'"

3 Ἐκ τοῦ Κατὰ Ματθαῖον 21:33-42 Εὐαγγελίου τὸ Ἀνάγνωσμα Εἶπεν ὁ Κύριος τήν παραβολὴν ταύτην Αλλην παραβολὴν ἀκούσατε. ἄνθρωπός τις ἦν οἰκοδεσπότης, ὅστις ἐφύτευσεν ἀμπελῶνα καὶ φραγμὸν αὐτῷ περιέθηκε καὶ ὤρυξεν ἐν αὐτῷ ληνὸν καὶ ᾠκοδόμησε πύργον, καὶ ἐξέδοτο αὐτὸν γεωργοῖς καὶ ἀπεδήμησεν. ὅτε δὲ ἤγγισεν ὁ καιρὸς τῶν καρπῶν, ἀπέστειλε τοὺς δούλους αὐτοῦ πρὸς τοὺς γεωργοὺς λαβεῖν τοὺς καρποὺς αὐτοῦ. καὶ λαβόντες οἱ γεωργοὶ τοὺς δούλους αὐτοῦ ὃν μὲν ἔδειραν, ὃν δὲ ἀπέκτειναν, ὃν δὲ ἐλιθοβόλησαν. πάλιν ἀπέστειλεν ἄλλους δούλους πλείονας τῶν πρώτων, καὶ ἐποίησαν αὐτοῖς ὡσαύτως. ὕστερον δὲ ἀπέστειλε πρὸς αὐτοὺς τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ λέγων ἐντραπήσονται τὸν υἱόν μου. οἱ δὲ γεωργοὶ ἰδόντες τὸν υἱὸν εἶπον ἐν ἑαυτοῖς οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ κληρονόμος δεῦτε ἀποκτείνωμεν αὐτὸν καὶ κατάσχωμεν τὴν κληρονομίαν αὐτοῦ. καὶ λαβόντες αὐτὸν ἐξέβαλον ἔξω τοῦ ἀμπελῶνος, καὶ ἀπέκτειναν. ὅταν οὖν ἔλθῃ ὁ κύριος τοῦ ἀμπελῶνος, τί ποιήσει τοῖς γεωργοῖς ἐκείνοις; λέγουσιν αὐτῷ κακοὺς κακῶς ἀπολέσει αὐτούς, καὶ τὸν ἀμπελῶνα ἐκδώσεται ἄλλοις γεωργοῖς, οἵτινες ἀποδώσουσιν αὐτῷ τοὺς καρποὺς ἐν τοῖς καιροῖς αὐτῶν. λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ Ιησοῦς οὐδέποτε ἀνέγνωτε ἐν ταῖς γραφαῖς, λίθον ὃν ἀπεδοκίμασαν οἱ οἰκοδομοῦντες, οὗτος ἐγενήθη εἰς κεφαλὴν γωνίας παρὰ Κυρίου ἐγένετο αὕτη, καὶ ἔστι θαυμαστὴ ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς ἡμῶν; Welcome If this is your first time to St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church, we welcome you and look forward to meeting you.

9 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.

10 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

11 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
