Hades then became a temporary abode where classes of sinners and righteous awaited judgment. The wicked who had already been punished in earthly life apparently would not be The term can simply mean “life” as when Jesus the Good Shepherd said He would lay down His life punished again, but would remain in the shadowy region. But sinners who had not been punished, would receive (psyche, John 10:11) for the sheep. Often the term “soul,” as also the term “heart” (kardia), signifies the their punishment on judgment day. The righteous however would lie in quietness or alternately be refreshed with a seat and center of the inner life of human beings, the source of emotions, deliberations and decisions. spring of water while awaiting their final reward in paradise. In some of these traditions the punishment came in the The rich fool deliberating the enlargement of his barns to store his crops said to his psyche (soul): “Soul, form of the destruction of the soul, or no bodily resurrection at all as reward, or bodily resurrection but destined for you have ample goods laid up for many years; take you ease, eat, drink, be merry” (Luke 12:19). punishment; and of course the opposite positive reverse as reward. These diverse forms of notions and elaborate Sometimes it is difficult to choose between “soul” or “life” as the precise translation as when Jesus said: punishments are recounted in pre-Christian apocryphal Jewish books such as 1 Enoch, 2 Baruch, Jubilees, and 4 Ezrah. “whoever wants to save his psyche (soul/life) will lose it; and whoever loses his psyche for my sake and The authors of the New Testament, and most notably the author of the Book of Revelation, presuppose diverse the gospel’s will save it (Mark8:35). knowledge of these traditions but do not provide one single teaching about the afterlife in detail.

Father Ted’s Corner Ted’s Father In the Greek philosophical tradition the soul, in contradistinction to the body, came to be thought of as The Church Fathers such as St. John Chrysostom, St. Basil, and St. Gregory the Theologian were cautious about the higher and eternal element which upon death is released from the material body as from a tomb into speculation concerning life after death and reserved about the Book of Revelation which to this day is not read in the another metaphysical form of existence. This dichotomy of soul and body is often assumed in the worship of the Orthodox Church. On the contrary, the Western tradition during the second millennium was popular understanding by many today. However, in the core Hebrew and Christian tradition, body and soul enthralled with Dante-like descriptions of hell derived from the Book of Revelation and the Jewish apocryphal books, belong together, forming a complete person as a psychosomatic unit, and both body and soul are receptive of and illustrated these descriptions in paintings. Those paintings based on the Book of Revelation were imitated in grace and holiness. St. Paul states: “Glorify God in your body” (1 Corinthians 6:20). The consequence of this latter Orthodox iconographic style by monastics in Mt. Athos after the 14th century and became part of the popular view is presupposed by the teaching of the resurrection as the completion of the human person, albeit in a Orthodox tradition. Many Orthodox saints and writers assume the general view of hell as a place of punishment, even transformed body and soul reflecting the glory of God. Finally, in the Hebrew and Christian tradition, the soul is by means of material instruments such as fire, whether of the soul after death or both soul and body after the not of itself eternal, as in the case of the Platonic philosophical tradition, but created and contingent.

When the time drew nigh that our Savior was well-pleased to take His Mother to Himself, He declared unto her through an Angel that three days hence, He would trans- late her from this temporal life to eternity and bliss. On hearing this, she went up with haste to the Mount of Olives, where she prayed continuously. Giving thanks to God, she returned to her house and prepared whatever was neces- sary for her burial. While these things were taking place, clouds caught up the Apostles from the ends of the earth, where each one happened to be preaching, and brought them at once to the house of the Mother of God, who in- formed them of the cause of their sudden gathering. As a mother, she consoled them in their affliction as was meet, and then raised her hands to Heaven and prayed for the peace of the world. She blessed the Apostles, and, reclining upon her bed with seemliness, gave up her all-holy spirit into the hands of her Son and God.

With reverence and many lights, and chanting burial hymns, the Apostles took up that God-receiving body and brought it to the sepulchre, while the Angels from Heaven chanted with them, and sent forth her who is higher than the Cherubim. But one Jew, moved by malice, audaciously stretched forth his hand upon the bed and immediately received from divine judgment the wages of his audacity. Those daring hands were severed by an invisible blow. But when he repented and asked forgiveness, his hands were restored. When they had reached the place called Geth- semane, they buried there with honor the all-immaculate body of the Theotokos, which was the source of Life. But on the third day after the burial, when they were eating together, and raised up the artos (bread) in Jesus' Name, as was their custom, the Theotokos appeared in the air, saying "Rejoice" to them. From this they learned concerning the bodily translation of the Theotokos into the Heavens.

These things has the Church received from the traditions of the Fathers, who have composed many hymns out of reverence, to the glory of the Mother of our God (see Oct. 3 and 4).

Apolytikion in the First Tone In birth, you preserved your virginity; in death, you did not abandon the world, O Theotokos. As mother of life, you departed to the source of life, delivering our souls from death by your intercessions.

Kontakion in the Second Tone Neither the grave nor death could contain the Theotokos, the unshakable hope, ever vigilant in intercession and pro- tection. As Mother of life, He who dwelt in the ever-virginal womb transposed her to life.

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank all who attended our Ladies and Gents Luncheon on June 10th at Papagallos.

Come and See

This phrase is simple yet powerful. It calls us to change our location – physically and spiritually. If we want to find Christ, we must move toward him. We must grow and mature in our faith. Giving to the Church is an opportunity – an opportunity to examine our priorities and values. It is an opportunity to express our thankfulness, to give of ourselves and to grow in grace. It is an opportunity to participate in the work of God. Come and see what we can do together with your support.

Thanks to so many of you who have pledged and have remembered to send in your offering. Six months have gone by and we are starting our third quarter of the year! Stewardship offering envelopes are located in the back of the church beside the candles if you would like to use one. Thank you for all of your support so far this year.
