3 Pastoral Reflections by Fr. Peter Kostakis In January, the Three Hierarchs are celebrated each individually (Saint Basil, January 1; Saint Gregory the Theologian, January 25; and Saint John Chrysostom; January 27) and again jointly on January 30! This is a reminder that all are given special gifts, no person is more special than the other, we are all in one communion! These great teachers are wonderful fountains of the wisdom that comes from God, and their wisdom can strengthen us as we begin another year. And these teachers, I am sure, pray for us that we remember that all our wisdom, all our strength, and all our accomplishments are because of the gifts given to us by God. As we begin another year, we may feel some anxiety. We feel effects of time. There are deadlines to make and goals to reach, and sometimes we feel the decrease in our youth and energy. But God came and sanctified time so that we would not be stuck saying that everything just slips away from us. He gave us the ability to be be partakers of eternal life through faith and love. Saint Gregory the Theologian said these words, in which we can find encouragement as time progresses: God always was, and always is, and always will be. Or rather, God always Is. For Was and Will be are fragments of our time, and of changeable nature, but He is Eternal Being. And this is the Name that He gives to Himself when giving the Oracle to Moses in the Mount. For in Himself He sums up and contains all Being, having neither beginning in the past nor end in the future; like some great Sea of Being, limitless and unbounded, transcending all conception of time and nature, only adumbrated by the mind, and that very dimly and scantily. So this most famous mind of the Church is not afraid to articulate that our mind has its limits. Time has its limits. All things that are measurable have limits. As we begin to measure one more year, we can find joy, hope, and growth, knowing that we have the gift of communion to the immeasurable, eternal love of God. 3

4 Stewardship Stewardship 2014 Give not out of your abundance, but out of your poverty. Mark 12:41-44 I Give Up! By Harry Yianitsas, Stewardship Chairman Miracle of Sharing...and all these things shall be added unto you. Matthew 6:33 Quick, what do these words say to you? Do they sound like a phrase of resignation? Do they sound like something you hear when one is worn out and tired? (yes, we all are from time to time) What meaning do these words carry? Let s break down the individual meanings of these simple words: I-Meaning me personally. Give- To hand over. Give me the truth. To cause to have. Did you give me your cold?, To relinquish. I give you all the power. To offer. Can I give you some help? Up- Used up. Time is up Moving to a higher position. Let s go up to the top The Cowboys are up by 10 points Getting higher and more vigorous. The stock market is up today So, depending how we see these words, we can have different meanings for this phrase. What we believe can affect how we interpret them. The pessimist may say I give up means there s just no use in trying anymore, it will never succeed He feels used up. Expended. Given out. Out of options. But, the optimist may see these words in an entirely different light (the light of Christ?). I give up is not a negative, but a positive! How? Because with his faith in God, the optimist sees these words to mean I relinquish myself to a higher position Through his faith, he has realized that his abilities are limited, and only God can help him deal with those limitations. No wonder he s an optimist! God is with him helping him achieve his goals! Which brings us to our attitude about our stewardship. We have set the goal of being a 100% stewardship supported parish by our th anniversary. Many of us have seen the goal as something we may never achieve, or something to let others achieve for them. But many of us have seen the need and answered the call to increase their giving. Like the optimist, they know that it is God who will help them in their giving. They have realized first-hand how giving of themselves feels great! As we end this year, and begin another I would challenge each of us to not just give up and resign, but to truly GIVE UP and increase their personal contribution of the TIME God gives us, the TALENT God gives us, and the TREASURE he gives us. With His help we will truly achieve our goal and make our community a thriving center for the faithful. 4
