5 Fifth Excerpt From The Pastoral Letter of the Synod of Bishops On Responsibility For the Proclamation Of The Word Of God And Catechesis Catechists: Reliable Helpers of Priests in Catechetical Ministry We turn to you, dear catechists laity and consecrated men and women, and we thank you sincerely for your dedicated service in the parishes. You are the reliable helpers of priests in the mission of Christian teaching and educating the next generations of the faithful of our Church. The Church highly values your vocation and ministry. Your vocation to pass on the faith in the living Christ stems from the joy of your personal encounter with Him and your membership in the church parish community. Your desire to share this joy with others, to help others encounter Christ, is the response to the strivings of a person today, who seeks the Way, the Truth and the Life. Help the child, youth and adult of today encounter Jesus, recognize His teaching and be nourished by the Word of God and the Blessed Eucharist. On behalf of the Church, awaken, inspire and support the fervor to discover the Word of God and the truths of the faith, to live by them. Nurture in yourselves a life of personal prayer and lead to prayer those whom you are forming. Take care of your personal ongoing formation, in order to better serve God s purpose and better respond to contemporary challenges. Be active and creative in your parish community. Be people of prayer and witnesses of Christian life.

6 Sunday of the Last Judgment Meatfare Today s Gospel reading is Matthew 25:31-46, the Parable of the Last Judgment. It reminds us that while trusting in Christ s love and mercy, we must not forget His righteous judgment when He comes again in glory. If our hearts remain hardened and unrepentant, we should not expect the Lord to overlook our transgressions simply because He is a good and loving God. Although He does not desire the death of a sinner, He also expects us to turn from our wickedness and live (Ezekiel 33:11). The priest expresses this same idea in the prayer he reads after the penitent has confessed his or her sins. The time for repentance and forgiveness is now, in the present life. At the Second Coming, Christ will appear as the righteous Judge, Who will render to every man according to his deeds (Romans 2:6). Then the time for entreating God s mercy and forgiveness will have passed. As Father Alexander Schmemann reminds us in his book Great Lent, sin is the absence of love. It is separation and isolation. When Christ comes to judge the world, His criterion for judgment will be love. Christian love entails seeing Christ in other people, our family, our friends, and everyone else we may encounter in our lives. We shall be judged on whether we have loved, or not loved, our neighbor. We show Christian love when we feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, clothe the naked, visit those who are sick or in prison. If we did such things for the least of Christ s brethren, then we also did them for Christ (Matthew 25:40). If we did not do such things for the least of the brethren, neither did we do them for Christ (Matthew 25:45). Today is traditionally the last day for eating meat and meat products until Pascha, though eggs and dairy products were permitted every day during the coming week. This limited fasting serves to prepare us gradually for the more intense fasting of Great Lent. IN ORDER TO HONOR THOSE OBSERVING THE GREAT FAST, PARISHIONERS ARE KINDLY ASKED NOT TO BRING MEAT PRODUCTS FOR FELLOWSHIP FROM TODAY UNTIL PASCHA.
