Thus, the services might be used as a reminder to all of us that we were created by Him. They would also put us in remembrance of how we were exiled from the delights of Paradise, by means of setting at nought the commandment and tasting of the fruit. We are also mindful that we were cast out through the envy of the originator and author of evil, the serpent and adversary, who was cast down for his pride, but we were cast out from the benefits of paradise and were led by the devil. However, we also are bidden to call to mind how the Son and Logos of God, having suffered in His mercy, bowing the heavens, descended and made His abode in the Virgin and became man for our sake. Indeed, by His conduct of life and other deeds, He showed us the ascent heavenward: first of all, through humility, then by fasting and rejecting bad ways. Even so, He suffered and rose from the dead and was taken up into the heavens. As promised, He sent down the Holy Spirit upon His holy disciples and apostles, who all proclaimed Him to be the Son of God and God most perfect. By means of the preaching of the holy apostles, through the grace of the most Holy Spirit, there is the gathering of all the saints from the ends of the earth, filling the world on high, which was the intention of the Creator from the beginning.

We pray that God will bless, comfort, and heal in His love for mankind. Only Orthodox Christians who are prepared may approach the Holy Chalice... Please remember to have respect as we process forward to receive Holy Communion. This is a solemn time for humility, prayer and silence. Similarly, after receiving Holy Communion, proceed back to your place in church quietly and begin saying the “Prayers of Thanksgiv- ing.” It is proper to remain standing in prayer while the rest of the faithful receive Holy Communion. We shouldn‟t be sitting at this time, unless it is absolutely necessary. This is NOT the time for greetings and socialization. With great reverence, we quietly draw near to the Holy Chalice with our arms crossed over our chest. As you step up on the solea to receive, say your name, then open your mouth wide to receive the Holy Gifts. Please do NOT make the sign of the cross immediately after having received Holy Communion, as there is a great danger that you will hit the bottom of the Chalice and thus cause a spill. Having received Holy Communion, carefully step back away from the Chalice (being careful not to touch it) and then down from the solea to make the sign of the Cross and receive a piece of Antidoron (blessed bread). Regarding Holy Communion… Since we understand Holy Communion to manifest and to mean that we have a “common-union” with God and with one another, that we share the same Christian Faith; only those baptized and/or chrismated in the Orthodox Church, who profess the Faith in their beliefs and thus in the actions of their daily life, who prepare themselves by arriving at church on time, saying the pre-Communion prayers, fasting from last midnight, a re- cent confession; and who have not excommunicated themselves from the Church for any reason (ie., divorce, marriage outside the Church, sex outside of marriage, receiving Holy Communion, or any other Sacrament in a non-Orthodox Church, etc...): you may draw near to the Holy Chalice “in the fear of God and in faith and in love”. The Standing Conference of Canonical Orthodox Bishops in the Americas meanwhile has taken the clear position that the Orthodox faithful MAY NOT receive Communion outside their churches. The reverse is likewise true. Non- Orthodox MAY NOT receive Communion in an Orthodox Church. All are welcome to venerate the Holy Cross and with deep reverence to partake of the blessed bread at the dismissal. February 5, 2012 - The Holy Oblations are offered by: With loving prayers for God‟s blessings; for peace throughout the world; for all who are suffering; for those who protect and serve our country; and for all those who are ill. May God grant you many years! Prayers are also offered for our beloved Fr.

  • Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018
    Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018 Conforming to General Convention 2018 1 Preface Christians have since ancient times honored men and women whose lives represent heroic commitment to Christ and who have borne witness to their faith even at the cost of their lives. Such witnesses, by the grace of God, live in every age. The criteria used in the selection of those to be commemorated in the Episcopal Church are set out below and represent a growing consensus among provinces of the Anglican Communion also engaged in enriching their calendars. What we celebrate in the lives of the saints is the presence of Christ expressing itself in and through particular lives lived in the midst of specific historical circumstances. In the saints we are not dealing primarily with absolutes of perfection but human lives, in all their diversity, open to the motions of the Holy Spirit. Many a holy life, when carefully examined, will reveal flaws or the bias of a particular moment in history or ecclesial perspective. It should encourage us to realize that the saints, like us, are first and foremost redeemed sinners in whom the risen Christ’s words to St. Paul come to fulfillment, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” The “lesser feasts” provide opportunities for optional observance. They are not intended to replace the fundamental celebration of Sunday and major Holy Days. As the Standing Liturgical Commission and the General Convention add or delete names from the calendar, successive editions of this volume will be published, each edition bearing in the title the date of the General Convention to which it is a response.

  • Mary the Blessed Virgin
    January 1 – Mary the Blessed Virgin Mary is venerated with a special cult, called by St. Thomas Aquinas, hyperdulia, as the holiest of all creatures. The main events of her life are celebrated as liturgical feasts of the universal Church. Traditionally, she was declared the daughter of Sts. Joachim and Anne. Born in Jerusalem, Mary was presented in the Temple and took a vow of virginity. Living in Nazareth, Mary was visited by the archangel Gabriel, who announced to her that she would become the Mother of Jesus, by the Holy Spirit. She became betrothed to St. Joseph and went to visit her cousin, Elizabeth, who was bearing St. John the Baptist. Acknowledged by Elizabeth as the Mother of God, Mary intoned the Magnificat. When Emperor Augustus declared a census throughout the vast Roman Empire, Mary and St. Joseph went to Bethlehem where he was born, as he belonged to the House of David. There Mary gave birth to Jesus and was visited by the Three Kings. Mary and Joseph presented Jesus in the Temple, where St. Simeon rejoiced and Mary received word of sorrows to come later. Warned to flee, St. Joseph and Mary went to Egypt to escape the wrath of King Herod. They remained in Egypt until King Herod died and then returned to Nazareth. Nothing is known of Mary's life during the next years except for a visit to the Temple of Jerusalem, at which time Mary and Joseph sought the young Jesus, who was in the Temple with the learned elders. The first recorded miracle of Jesus was performed at a wedding in Cana, and Mary was instrumental in calling Christ's attention to the need.

  • February 2019
    St. William Catholic Church 4932 Easley Street Millington, TN 38053 (901)872-4099 February 2019 St. Agatha, Virgin and Martyr, 231—251 Feast: February 5 St. Agatha, also known as Agatha of Sicily, is one of the most highly venerated virgin martyrs of the Catholic Church. It is believed that she was born around 231 in either Catania or Palermo, Sicily to a rich and noble family. From her very early years, the notably beautiful Agatha dedicated her life to God. She became a consecrated virgin, a state in life where young women choose to remain celibate and give themselves wholly to Jesus and the Church in a life of prayer and service. That did not stop men from desiring her and making unwanted advances toward her. However, one of the men who desired Agatha, whose name was Quintianus, because he was of a high diplomatic ranking, thought he could force her to turn away from her vow and force her to marry. His persistent proposals were consistently spurned by Agatha, so Quintianus, knowing she was a Christian during the persecution of Decius, had her arrested and brought before the judge. He was the Judge. He expected her to give in to his demands when she was faced with torture and possible death, but she simply reaffirmed her belief in God by praying: "Jesus Christ, Lord of all, you see my heart, you know my desires. Possess all that I am. I am your sheep: make me worthy to overcome the devil." With tears falling from her eyes, she prayed for courage.
