5 ХРИСТОС РОЖДАЄТЬСЯ! СЛАВІМО ЙОГО! В імені Церковної Управи сердечно вітаю членів та прихильників нашої Соборної Громади із Різдвом Христовим, Новим Роком та Святом Йорданом. Бажаю, щоб у Вашому домі завжди панували добробут і злагода, мир і спокій, щоб назавжди оселилися здоров я і довголіття, успіх та радість. Хай здійсняються усі Ваші мрії і сподівання. Орися Сушко, Голова Церковної Ради CHRIST IS BORN! LET US GLORIFY HIM! On behalf of the Parish Council I extend sincere best wishes to our parishioners and supporters on the occasion of Christ s Nativity, the New Year and the Feast of Jordon. May your homes be filled with peace and harmony, may good health and joy always be with you, and your hopes and dreams fulfilled. Orysia Sushko, Parish Council President January 18 THE THEOPHANY: THE BAPTISM OF OUR LORD The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light The Gospel reading on the Sunday after the Theophany is that proclaimed by St. Matthew (4:12-17). In it he quotes the prophecy of Isaiah (9:2): The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light. Thus he shows that the ministry of Jesus, Who was baptized by St. John (who was imprisoned by Herod shortly after that event) was a fulfilment of prophecy. God was at last bringing the long-awaited salvation to the people of Israel and to the world. Thus, the Feast of Theophany is also called the Feast of Illumination, and at one time it was traditional to baptize catechumens (those preparing to enter the Church) on the Eve of this festival. At one time the Feast of the Lord s Nativity was celebrated together with this marvellous Feast just as the Oriental Orthodox do to this day. For the Eastern Orthodox the main event of the Feast is the Blessing of Water in the Temple and also outside, beside a body of water. The significance of this is that our Lord, Who is God the Son, the Second Person of the Trinity eternally begotten of the Father, has come to us as a true Human Being, to end our alienation from God and from the Paradise which was made for us. He is not only born as a perfect Human but also identifies with us. He does so by being baptized in the Jordan by John, just as though He Himself had need of purification. When Jesus descends into the waters He brings you and me with Him. It is not He Who is purified thereby it is you and me. The water we bless is the water of our purification. It is also the beginning of the full restoration of creation to what it was made by God to be His Kingdom on earth as it is in Heaven. We are saved for life in the Kingdom. Thus, in the same Gospel we read on the Sunday after the Theophany, we hear Jesus say: Repent that is turn away from darkness towards God s marvellous light for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand it is here and now, ready to be grasped, ready to be received with joy and love, so that we may embody it in the world today. Amen. Fr Ihor Kutash UOCC
