Pastor’s Advisory Council Ramiz Askar, 8th Sunday of Pentecost Marlene Saad Secretary Richard Sleiman, Chairman This Sunday we continue to celebrate Paul Sleiman, Linda Wickett, Pentecost with the season’s eighth Sunday. Eight Jack Yacu weeks and counting until the Feast of the Holy Finance Committee Cross (Sept. 14) is a large amount of time devoted George Azan, Joseph Chebeir, Chairman Tony Sleiman, Paula Howard-Casby to one event. The Holy Trinity is the subject of this time, and specifically the Person of the Holy Spirit, Administration for a thousand weeks would be insufficient to speak of His great mystery that the Church has Richard, Wickett, Financial Secretary been writing about continually for the last 2000 years. Where does one even begin? Joseph Chebeir, Scott Herr, Administrative Assistants to the Pastor It’s difficult to decide where one begins to speak about an infinite being, so as humans it easier to pick the point of our beginning of interaction with the Spirit. Genesis tells us that “formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being” (Gen. 2:7). In all major Semitic languages, like Hebrew, Aramaic and

Continued next page , a word for spirit (like the Holy Spirit) is the root ruh. But this word also means breath, life or soul. From the very beginning, God animates us from the non-living soil by giving us His life-giving Spirit who enters into us and dwells in us. The same Spirit Who animates Adam animates us, without whom we would not exist, for He is life.

The essence of human life comes from the Spirit. But after the Fall of Adam there was a certain rejection of the Spirit. The Spirit did not leave Adam, otherwise he would cease to live, but there was damage to the relationship between humanity and God. This is why Christ gives us the spiritual “womb of baptism” to be born again, not in flesh but in the Spirit. This is what St. Paul refers to in today’s Epistle when he says, “You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you” (Rom. 8:9). We live by the Spirit, not only in our physical life, but by our baptism we cast off all the deadness of sin. Life, since Adam, comes from the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Baptism restores the fullness of life to us. To act in accord with God the Spirit we act in agreement with life itself. But when we reject the Spirit, as Adam did by his transgression, we reject life and instead choose death, which is offered by the serpent, Satan.

But there is good news – the Syriac Fathers console us again and again with the hope that the Spirit remains with us even if we momentarily pick the death of sin in a moment of weakness. So long as we live, Philoxenus of Mabbug says, the Spirit remains with us to lead us to what is good if we follow God’s commands. The Spirit does not force us to do what is right, for He created us in His image with free will, but guides us and entices us – ultimately, though, we must choose life. In a similar way, Satan entices us to do evil but cannot force us. However, fortunately, Satan is neither all-present or all-powerful like the Spirit, Who resides with us from baptism. We should not fear the death Satan brings for if we trust in the life of the Spirit, “Even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness. And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of His Spirit who lives in you” (Rom. 8:10-11).

From the beginning the Spirit has given us unfailing life. In baptism we becomes more perfect vessels of the same Spirit. If we choose to live by the same Spirit Whom we have received through baptism we shall live forever, even though our flesh may die.

Prayers & Squares

Prayers and Squares is a prayer ministry that also involves making prayer quilts and prayer squares for those facing medical, spiritual, emotional difficulties, or anyone in the Parish that is active duty military. Don't know how to quilt? That's ok, we can teach you. Not interested in sewing? That's ok, we will need help with staying organized, record keeping and correspondence. What is needed are willing hearts and hands to do God's work and pray together for those in need, and each other too. A prayer quilt or square, once requested, is made and tied with each knot representing a prayer for that individual and their specific needs. The recipient must be willing to receive the quilt and the prayers. The purpose of the group is not to give away quilts, but to offer a physical representation of God's love and the prayers of the community. A recipient is able to wrap themselves in prayer during a difficult time. The quilt itself has no power, but the prayers offered do. The most up to date Maronite Voice is always available here.

Great News from Charly Van Norden

I look forward to seeing my brother Maronite priests and the NAM members who are present early before the Convention. I cannot stay for the NAM Convention this year as I have be be back for Friday evening for the wedding rehearsal of Alex Roman and Shea Menge in Aiken, SC. After that I will take a week of vacation.

A Unique Parishioner Call for Help

Dear Friends, Re: End-Stage Kidney Disease

Some of you may already know: I have end-stage kidney disease. My kidneys do not work well enough to keep me alive, and my treatment options are limited to dialysis or kidney transplant.

Regular hemodialysis treatments, three times per week for four hours at a time, help my kidneys do their job and keep me alive. But a transplant would offer me the ability to live a longer, healthier, more normal life and with more freedom.

Finding a kidney for a transplant is not easy. There are 100,000+ people, just like me, on the waiting list for a deceased donor kidney. Time is not on our side. Some die while waiting. I've been waiting nearly six years, about a year longer than the average wait time of five years.

There is another option: receiving a kidney from a living donor. Asking a family member or a friend to donate a kidney is very difficult for me, extremely personal, takes much thought and involves your family's consideration. Your decision will not affect our relationship, and I absolutely do not want a donor feeling pressured in any way.

You may not know a lot about living donation, which I did not until recently. Understandably, many people are fearful of surgery and what living with one kidney will mean for them. Here's some basic information about kidney donation:

• Most people are born with an extra kidney - only one is needed to live a long, healthy life.

• As a living donor, you will have a separate team of Healthcare professionals to evaluate you. Their job is to help YOU understand the risks and benefits, looking out for YOUR best interests.

• Cost of your evaluation and surgery will be covered by my insurance; the hospital can provide to you more information.

• Most donor surgery is done laparoscopically, meaning through tiny incisions.

• Recuperation is usually fairly quick, generally two weeks, for people with desk jobs, to six weeks, for jobs involving heavy lifting.

What is a paired kidney exchange? Roughly one-third of kidney failure patients with a willing living donor will be unable to receive the kidney because of incompatibility. In a paired kidney exchange, a donor may donate their kidney to another recipient in exchange for a compatible kidney for their loved one.

Before deciding, you can explore the living donation program by calling MUSC's Kelly Canavan, my Living Donor Coordinator, at 843-792-1594.

A living donation may not be right for you, but you can still help. Please help by sharing my story, spreading the word about kidney disease, raising awareness of living donation and helping me and the many others on the waiting list.

Thank you for reading and for your concern and for your help in spreading the word about kidney disease.

Syriac Wedding Prayer for Alex and Shea

O our son Shea, this our daughter Alex, has today left her parents, brothers and sisters, and has entrusted herself to you as your wedded wife. Therefore, take care of her, and fulfill all that is due to her in food, drink, and dress. Treat her kindly, deal with her pleasantly, and be always ready to do good to her. “Our daughter Alex, we exhort you to obey your husband and be faithful to him. Also, be like the dove in gentleness and like the turtle dove in devotion.”

“We command and charge both of you to walk in the fear of God; to accept alike—and in concord—pleasure and distress; to bear all sickness, pain and other adversities that may accidentally fall upon you with patience and without complaints, that we might not be blamed in the day of judgment on your account, since we have served as mediators in this marriage..."

Romans 8:1-11

Hence, now there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has freed you from the law of sin and death. For what the law, weakened by the flesh, was powerless to do, this God has done: by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for the sake of sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, so that the righteous decree of the law might be fulfilled in us, who live not according to the flesh but according to the spirit. For those who live according to the flesh are concerned with the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the spirit with the things of the spirit. The concern of the flesh is death, but the concern of the spirit is life and peace. For the concern of the flesh is hostility toward God; it does not submit to the law of God, nor can it; and those who are in the flesh cannot please God. But you are not in the flesh; on the contrary, you are in the spirit, if only the Spirit of God dwells in you. Whoever does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the spirit is alive because of righteousness. If the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, the one who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also, through his Spirit that dwells in you.

Matt 12:14-21

The Pharisees* went out and took counsel against him to put him to death. When Jesus realized this, he withdrew from that place. Many [people] followed him, and he cured them all, but he warned them not to make him known. This was to fulfill what had been spoken through Isaiah the prophet: “Behold, my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved in whom I delight; I shall place my spirit upon him, and he will proclaim justice to the Gentiles. He will not contend or cry out, nor will anyone hear his voice in the streets. A bruised reed he will not break, a smoldering wick he will not quench, until he brings justice to victory. And in his name the Gentiles will hope.” Teaching Opportunity
