Let nothing separate me from You. If I am weak in my faith, strengthen me. Help me to devote myself to Your Holy Gifts. Guide me in the path that leads to Your Kingdom. Teach me to become a better Christian so that I may wear the Altar Boy’s robe worthily and in humility.

Remember that you serve in the holiest and most sacred part of the Church. Being in the Altar is a rare honor and privilege. You are close to Jesus Christ and His Holy Angels. You are at the Altar Table where the sacrificial offering of the precious Body and Blood of Christ is made. 2. Christ wants those who serve Him in the Altar to be reverent and clean in body and soul.

  • Explanation of the Proskomedia of the Divine Liturgy
    Explanation of the Proskomedia of the Divine Liturgy Praise be Jesus Christ! Let’s begin our class by praying to the Holy Spirit for inspiration and understanding. Today we are going to give an explanation of the Proskomedia which is the service of preparation before the actual beginning of the Divine Liturgy. Origin of the Proskomedia The name Proskomedia comes from the Greek word” proskomidzo,” which means “to bring” or” to offer.” In the Roman rite, the Proskomedia is known as the Offertory. The Proskomedia is the cere- mony of offering and bringing the bread and wine to the table of oblation or preparation table called the Prothesiis. Later on, at the consecration of the Liturgy particles of bread will be changed into the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. The origin of the Proskomedia goes back to apostolic times. It was part of the very ancient form of the Divine liturgy, although not in the same arrangement as we know it today. It developed from an old Christian custom of bringing offerings for the celebration of the Liturgy. The oldest liturgical manuscripts about the Proskomedia relates that this was a simple ceremony of bringing bread and wine for offering at the altar. In the eleven century, this simple ceremony grew into an enriched rite of preparation where prayers and symbolic actions were added to commemorate the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, the Holy Mother of God, the saints, the living and the dead. The origin of the commemoration of the living and the dead goes back to the early centuries of Christianity where the Christians of the first century prayed for each other and held their dead brethren, especially their martyrs, in great honor and respect.

  • SMOC November 2020
    SMOC Newsletter November 2020 ST. MATTHEW ORTHODOX CHURCH From the desk of Father Eugene….. During the month of November, we have a number of liturgical days that are important markers in our life in the Church. These days are important because they point to how we approach the season of the Nativity. One of those days is our patronal feast day. We celebrate the Feast of St. Matthew on the 16th of November. On this day we hear about the calling of St. Matthew, Levi, a tax collector for the Roman authorities. Christ issued St. Matthew the simple command, "Come, follow me." St. Matthew, like many of the early Christians, obeyed the command not merely by pledging a desire to follow Christ, but by leaving all that he had. It may seem as though St. Matthew was wise to move away from the often callous life of a tax collector. But along with turning away from that life, he repented. St. Matthew was willing to take up his own cross at a great personal sacrifice. He did not just leave one job to take up another. He gave his life to Christ by forsaking his desires and ambitions. For us, rejecting what we want for what Christ longs to give us can be difficult to understand and pursue. Christ wants us to have peace and joy in our lives. It's not as though we don't want these things; but the enjoyments that the world offers us are extremely seductive and lead us astray. Putting ambitions aside takes a purposeful effort of prayer, liturgical celebration, and fasting.

He bows before the bishop three times and, approaching the bishop, bows his head. The bishop makes a sign of the cross over his head three times. Then, he places his hand on the head of the candidate, and says following prayer: O Lord, Who enlighten all creation with the light of your wonders, Who know the deeds of men even before they came into being know beforehand every- one’s life-decisions, Who strengthen those who want to serve You, beautify your servant, N., who has cho- sen to become a candle-bearer before your holy mys- teries with spotless and most pure adornments, so that enlightened, he may meet You in the world to come and may receive the incorruptible crown of life, and with your elect may rejoice in everlasting bliss: Exclamation: For You are holy and glorified is your most hon- orable and sublime name, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, now and for ever and ever. Choir: Amen. The bishop gives a candle to the candidate, who kisses the candle and the hand of the bishop. 3 The bishop says: Blessed is our God, always, now and for ever and ever. Choir: Amen. The candidate, with a burning candle in his hand, says: Heavenly King, Advocate, Spirit of Truth, Who are every- where present and fill all things, Treasury of Blessings, Bestower of Life, come and dwell within us; cleanse us of all that defiles us, and, O Good One, save our souls.

  • St. Nicholas the Wonderworker
    St. Nicholas the Wonderworker December 6, 1998 Fr. Josiah Trenham, Pastor St. Andrew Orthodox Christian Church, Riverside, Ca. Introduction and Life of St. Nicholas: In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, One God. Amen. We are fortunate this year that the Feast of our Father among the Saints, Nicholas the Wonderworker, Archbishop of Myra in Lycia, falls on a Sunday. With as much as Feast Days have fallen into neglect amongst the Orthodox of our country the souls of the faithful are deprived of the heavenly nourishment of the feasts of certain saints. And whose life is more important to celebrate than that of St. Nicholas? Whose life is more central to our Advent journey or to our celebration of Christmas than St. Nicholas? Now St. Nicholas is a very famous saint. Next to our Lady he is probably the most famous. He has churches, monasteries, and schools dedicated to him throughout the world. This is all the more incredible because he left us no sacred writings. It is his person, his character which has elicited the love, devotion, and emulation of the faithful worldwide, and he is to be found in many places in Riverside during this Advent. Presently I believe he is climbing up the chimney of the Mission Inn, and I have seen him in many other places as well, but often he is seen without clarity. There is something of a cultural haze about his exact identity. Somehow he has put on a few too many pounds (is this designed to ease the conscience of so many fat Americans?), and we have lost something of the contours of his image.

  • The Diocese of the West, Orthodox Church in America Guidelines for Readers and Subdeacons
    The Diocese of the West, Orthodox Church in America Guidelines for Readers and Subdeacons All ministries exercised within the Diocese, whether that of a Priest, Deacon, Subdeacon or Reader, are done so with the blessing and under the authority of the Diocesan Hierarch, and are accountable to him. A Reader is tonsured to minister within a particular parish, as indicated in the Office of the Tonsuring of a Reader: Blessed is the Lord. Lo, the servant of God, N. is become a Reader of the most holy Church of N.: in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. (The Service Book, Isabelle Hapgood, 1906). According to the canons of the Orthodox Church, there is no procedure for removing a Subdeacon or Reader from office apart from the determination of his own hierarch. Until now, very few dioceses have kept track of the movement of Subdeacons and Readers leading in some instances to confusion and disorder as they move in and out of various parishes and even jurisdictions without reference to the hierarch under whose authority they were ordained or tonsured. These guidelines are established to take better account of those exercising the roles of minor clergy within the life of a given parish. Their purpose is to help those who minister in both major and minor orders better recognize and understand the responsibilities that Subdeacons and Readers hold, and their relationship both to their Diocesan Hierarch, his Priests, and the local parish. The Responsibilities of Rectors a. To establish and maintain a list of all Readers and Subdeacons, serving and not serving, in his parish and to forward this list to the diocesan office when required.

  • The Liturgy of Preparation Talk
    The Liturgy of the Preparation Re-Catechism 3 Dr. Maria-Fotini Polidoulis Kapsalis The Liturgy of Preparation, known in Greek as Prothesis (Προθησις meaning a setting forth) or Proskomedia (meaning an offering), is the name given in the Orthodox Church to the service of preparing the bread and wine for the Eucharist. The Liturgy of Preparation is done quietly before the public part of the Divine Liturgy begins, and symbolizes the "hidden years" of Christ's earthly life. The ceremony consists of three parts. It begins with the Kairon, followed by the Vesting of the Clergy and concludes with the Proskomedia. The Kairon The Kairon can also be called the Entrance Prayer. Before the priest begins the preparatory part of the Liturgy, he goes before the Royal Doors and prays. In his prayer, he asks for God’s forgiveness, and for His help to perform the Liturgy worthily. After bowing to the people for whom and in whose name he will serve, the priest enters the altar area praying the last half of Psalm 5: “I will enter Your house…” After bowing down and kissing the Holy Altar, he removes his outer garment and begins to vest, or put on the garments of the priesthood. The Vesting They then venerate the Holy Table and put on their vestments. Before putting on each vestment the priest will say a prayer, usually drawn from the Psalms, bless the vestment, and kiss the cross that is sewn onto it. If there is a deacon also assisting the priest, he will bring his vestments to the priest for him to bless.

  • The Pontifical Institute of Oriental Studies
    THE PONTIFICAL INSTITUTE OF ORIENTAL STUDIES -------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE ------ LITURGICAL LEGISLATOR --------------------------------------- IN THE ------------- UKRAINIAN CHURCH ------------------------------- A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the Pontifical Oriental Institute of Oriental Studies In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Oriental Ecclesiastical Sciences By Rev. Peter Skcrincosky Priest of the Eparchy of Stamford Director: Very Rev. Alphonse Raes, S.J. Rome – 1963 FOREWORD ------------------ In the last two decades, the Holy See assumed, in a practical and effective manner, the legislative authority for liturgical matter in the Ukrainian Catholic Church. In 1941 it promulgated a liturgikon for the Ruthenians. This was followed by an Ordo Celebrationis (in 1944), which spelled out in greater detail the manner of celebrating the Divine Liturgy, matins and vespers. Other service books followed. 1 Again, Pope Pius XII, in 1957, promulgated his Motu Proprio, Clergi Sanctitati, in which he clearly defined, what had been already established for the Latin Church in the Code of Canon Law, namely, that the supreme liturgical authority in the Eastern rites is the Holy See. The latter fact defined what the Holy See already enjoyed. But it was the first explicit law which established the fact that the liturgical authority for the Oriental rites is the Holy Father. Previously, some moral or physical person was responsible for any new liturgical laws and authentic interpretation thereof. It is our aim in this dissertation to determine who the traditional legislator is, not for all Oriental rites, but specifically for the Byzantine-Ukrainian rite. Furthermore, our scope will be to demonstrate the different stages in which the Holy See has appeared as the supreme liturgical legislator, using the liturgical history of the Ukrainian Church as our basis.
