  • 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.
