It can also be a test like how it was with Job. And Fr. Joseph Galdon, SJ in his book, The Mustard God also permits suffering in order that it can serve as a Seed, told a story about a parish priest who visited a seed for holiness or greatness. catechism class of his parish one day. He went into the class 5. Our sufferings can also be joined with the sufferings of of those preparing to receive their First Communion. The Christ for our salvation or for that of others. Not because catechist wanted to impress the parish priest that the class Christ’s suffering is not enough, but because Christ has was ready. She asked them questions one by one until she left this open to love so that the bitter sufferings of man came to a very quiet little boy in the last row. The catechist mingled with this love may turn into a sweet spring which asked him: “Where is God?” it was obvious that the little boy shall overflow into eternity. did not know the answer because he fidgeted for a moment In today’s Gospel, Jesus says: “Whoever wishes to come and then blurted: “God is wherever there is a cross!” this is after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.” not the type of answer the catechist wanted to hear, but I don’t So how can we, like the quiet boy, connect God and His love think many theologians would object to the boy’s answer. for us with the cross?! Jesus did the thinking for us! He What do you think when you see a lot of suffering around changed suffering into love on the cross because suffering you, especially these days? Why do so many people suffer and love are two sides of the same coin. That is why we can physically, emotionally, and spiritually? Over 800,000 people say that the cross is the symbol of pain and suffering, but it is have died of COVID, so many people die of cancer every day, also the symbol of love. That is why we always wear it on our in car or plane accidents, or of natural causes! Many children neck—because it reminds us of how great the love of the are terminally ill, so many people every day hear a diagnosis Father is to each one of us by giving to us His only Son Jesus that no one would like to hear. Why? Christ. Suffering is a reality in life. The problem is how to sweeten How do we deal with suffering and the cross?! We suffering and get the most from of it. St. Pope John Paul II, in can accept that everybody is suffering or accept it as part of an apostolic letter, Salvifici Dolores, talked on suffering: human life and turn it into an act of love, that is, a cross of 1. Suffering is evil. Evil is the absence of good rooted in sin, love and not just a cross of suffering. If we always complain which can bring about death. This absence of good can about our crosses and suffering, we add more and more cause greater suffering if the one who suffers thinks he/ heaviness to our cross. Even Jesus Christ, even today, is still she does not deserve such suffering. carrying His cross, and it becomes heavier and heavier 2. There are different kinds of suffering: physical, spiritual, because we add weight like: natural and man-made and psychological. There are also private sufferings like calamities, sickness, loss of a loved one, injustices and loneliness. And there are common sufferings like those corruptions, rape and murder of innocent victims, kidnapping, caused by an epidemic, calamity, and famine. and damaging of one’s name. 3. Suffering comes from the world. It does not come from Let us also take the cross of suffering as a symbol of God. Yet the one who suffers usually turns to God to ask love, because as St. Fulgentius says: “The cross is the on the causes and objectives of suffering. stairway to heaven.” 4.

  • The Saint Andrew News
    The Saint Andrew News St. Andrew Orthodox Church - Riverside, CA Dear Parishioners, As we launch out into this first week of Great Lent we find our systems shocked and we find that the daily routine and rhythm of life is not at all easy to break. Here is the counsel of the Lord as we find it in the Matins of the 1st day of Great Lent: ―Let us joyfully begin the all-hallowed season of abstinence; and let us shine with the bright radiance of the holy commandments of Christ our God, with the brightness of love and the splendor of prayer, with the purity of holiness and the strength of good courage. So, clothed in raiment of light, let us hasten to the Holy Resurrection on the third day, that shines upon the world with the glory of eternal life." There are two important attitudes that we must have at this time according to this text, and that we must maintain throughout the whole of Lent. These two dispositions Volume 18 Issue 2 & 3 are: 1. A spirit of joy. 2. A courageous resolve to spiritually struggle. February/March 2009 1. "Let us joyfully begin..." Remember my dear ones that Lent is a great gift from Published Monthly God to us! It is an immense honor to keep the Lent, to make spiritual progress towards the Lord and His Kingdom, and to receive so much grace as we do St. Andrew Orthodox Church of during the fast. And remember that this is all so that Riverside is a parish of the Self-ruled Antiochian Orthodox we can authentically and properly embrace and rejoice Christian Archdiocese of North in our Savior's Resurrection from the dead on the America, Diocese of the West, Third Day! Above all this Lent try to fast, to serve, to the See of the Right Reverend deny yourself, to pray, to go to church, with joy and JOSEPH, Bishop of not with sourness.

  • A Parish Family of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Charleston Parish Clergy Our Mission Office Hours: Stay Connected: Are You New?
    A Parish Family of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Charleston Parish Clergy Office hours: Stay connected: Our Mission Are you new? Welcome! Letter from our Pastor Dear Friends in Christ: Smyrna is mentioned in the Book of Revelation, and tradition has it that St John the Beloved Disciple was its first Bishop. St Polycarp was its next bishop, and St Ignatius of Antioch and St Irenaeus of Lyon all passed through there. The city is important for ancient Christian literature. Today it is known as Izmir, and has a population of 4.3 million, making it the third largest city in Turkey. Izmir is also the most Westernized and Christian city of Turkey, and is home to the only Archbishopric in the country. Most of the historic churches were either destroyed by earthquakes (there was a massive earthquake a week after I visited!) or taken over as mosques, so the few extant churches are mostly built in the 19th century after the Tanzimat reforms that modernized the Ottoman Empire. A priest of our own Diocese, Fr Gary Linsky, Pastor of St Peter’s Columbia, is actually an honorary canon of the cathedral, from his time as an air force chaplain there. I didn’t know if I was even going to be able to visit the Cathedral, as it was behind high walls and barbed wire. On Saturday after- noon, I rang the outside bell, and went into to see three people praying the Rosary. The rector of the cathedral and two consecrat- ed virgins, all Italians, keep a contemplative life in this historic city.
