2 In the Orthodox Church one of the themes that permeates the writings of the Fathers and the liturgical poetry is the notion of χαρμολύπη or, joyful-sadness. This is an expression that is very rich in meaning and based in the soul s experiences of the spiritual life. While we do not regularly discuss the book of Revelations, nor do we read it aloud during services, a quote comes to mind from this book that relates directly to joyful-sadness and the period of the Liturgical calendar into which we are entering this month: yet I hold this against you: you have abandoned your first love. (Revelations 2:4). The period of Triodion which begins on February 17 th and ends on Holy Saturday (April 20 th ) is one of discovery and it is one of passage. It is a journey into our remembering of the faint and distorted and barely discernable capacity to desire our first love. And in this journey the soul of the Saint ultimately experiences joyful-sadness: joy at having found Him whom she seeks, and sadness at realizing how far from Him she really is. We have indeed abandoned Him and replaced Him with all manner of transience and superficiality, and we are now invited to begin the journey to the Cross, the journey up Golgotha, the journey into our own joyfulsadness. Ours is a faith of paradox: the closer one to gets to God, the farther one perceives that he is from Him. The Triodion therefore has the Cross at its center because it is in and through the suffering of the Cross where self-awareness finally occurs. The Cross is the point at which the ultimate descent and revelation of the Word of God merges with the ultimate ascent and divination of mankind. Through the Cross joy has come to all the world we read every Sunday. Joy through suffering, sadness juxtaposed with hope, life through the grave. The Triodion, then, is a service book that we use in Church that begins nine Sundays before Pascha and also contains the services of Holy Week. Each Sunday has a theme; each week urges us to come to know ourselves, to come to remember our first love, to walk the lonely path of the Christian life. In what follows we shall discuss what each Sunday of the Triodion mean and how we can use this service book and the services which are contained within it to truly prepare ourselves for Pascha 2019, but also for our own personal Pascha; that is, our own death and resurrection. Sunday February 17: The Sunday of the Publican and the Pharisee Let us flee from the boasting of the Pharisee and let us learn humility in sorrows from the Publican, crying out to the Savior: Have mercy on us, only Compassionate One. Kontakion of the Feast On this Sunday the Triodion opens and is thus its first Sunday. The Church has begun to invite us to prepare for Great Lent and Pascha. The Gospel reading from this day is taken from Luke 18:9-14 and tells the parable of the Pharisee and the Publican. The one, believed he was better than everyone because he followed the letter of the law. The other, recognizing his sinfulness could not even lift his eyes to heaven and simply sat in the corner groaning and praying, Lord, have mercy on me the sinner. We are taught on this Sunday that humility and repentance are the way, not arrogance or self-justification. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and everyone who humbles himself will be exalted.

4 SAINT JOHN GREEK ORTHODOX CHURCH STERLING HEIGHTS MICHIGAN What is Stewardship? Stewardship is the management of the gifts bestowed upon us by God. These gifts are time, talent and treasure. It is through these gifts we are brought closer together as a Church and as a community. What is a Steward? A steward is a member of our St. John community that volunteers their time, talent and treasure. How can I volunteer my time and talent? Our St. John community offers many ministries! To find out more and volunteer, contact the church office. How much treasure should I give? This is a personal decision. Every year we should look at our finances and determine how much we should give back to God. These funds are used for the daily usage of the church and for funding our ministries.
