July-August 2012
The Maronite Voice A Publication of the Maronite Eparchies in the USA Volume VIII Issue No. VII July - August 2012 Where In The World Would You Find the Freedom That We Have In This United States of America? Dear Friends: s you know, both myself and Bishop Gregory were in Lebanon Afor approximately three weeks in June to attend the Annual Maronite Bishops’ Synod and various meetings. It was a great experience for both, receiving and sharing ideas with other Maronite Bishops from around the world. On my return, as the plane flew over American soil, I began to reflect on the various countries which we passed over. My heart went out to the people of Syria, Iraq and Jordan in the Middle East where there is persecution and heartache. I realized more and more, in that part of the world where Jesus began His teachings, the people endure much danger and are even losing the faith that has been instilled in them from Apostolic times. This is due to the environment in which they live. Except for Lebanon, there is no freedom, no liberty, no justice for all, as we enjoy in this great country. I begin to ask, do our people appreciate what we have in this great land? Yes, we are not perfect, but we must remind our immigrants and natural citizens alike, that despite our defects, where in the world would you find the freedom that we have in this United States of America? Let us thank God for his goodness to all of us for we are able to live in the land of the " FREE and the HOME of the BRAVE." During this time of the year as we celebrate the Fourth of July, let us thank God for all those who continue to work and sacrifice to make this the greatest country in the world. -

Holy and Glorious Pascha

Feast of the Resurrection of our Lord, God and Saviour Jesus Christ We call the present Feast ‘Pascha’, which in Hebrew means ‘Passing Over’; for this is the day on which God from the beginning brought the world out of non-existence. On this same day he also made the people of Israel pass over the Red Sea and snatched them from the hands of Pharaoh. Again it was on this day that he came down from heaven and dwelt in the womb of the Virgin. And now he has snatched the whole of humanity from the vaults of Hades and made it pass upwards to heaven and brought it to its ancient dignity of incorruption. But when he descended into Hades he did not raise all, but as many as believed in him were chosen. He freed the souls of the Saints since time began who were forcibly held fast by Hades and made them all ascend to heaven. And so we, rejoicing exceed- ingly, celebrate the Resurrection with splendor as we image joy with which our nature has been en- riched by God’s compassionate mercy. 1 Remember in your prayers: Those who have fallen asleep before us in the hope of resurrection.

Understanding the Eastern Christian Churches
UNDERSTANDING THE EASTERN CHRISTIAN CHURCHES John M. Samaha SM Introducing the Question When you think of the Church, what image comes to mind? What image do you think the average Catholic forms when the Church is mentioned? Usually the image is that of a highly centralized, worldwide institution with headquarters in Rome. Or, of one's neighbourhood parish church. All in the West who share the heritage of European civilization tend to identify the Catholic Church with the Latin Rite (Roman Rite). Similarly, Eastern Orthodox and other Eastern Christians may think of the church of their own country of origin with its chief bishop and centre in the ancient capital city. Seldom do we think of the church as the Mystical Body of Christ, the Head united with his many, diverse groups of members comprising the People of God. Attitudes among Eastern Catholic and Orthodox peoples not only stem from their strong national feelings, but are also deeply rooted in their ecclesiastical history and religious thought. For while the one, holy, catholic, arid apostolic Church founded by Jesus Christ is unified, the Church certainly is not uniform in all aspects. Basic Understandings To understand clearly the situation it is important to establish basic understanding of some fundamental points. In the context of studying the Church, a rite refers to a local Church or specific tradition, not to ceremony or ritual. A particular Church means a style or way of living Christianity, a cultural mentality toward practicing the Gospel, a community of faith with a distinct, ancient tradition. 18 John M. -

Complete Teachers Manual
Teacher Resource Manual GRADE We Respond GOD WITH US 6PUBLICATIONS to God Catechesis is a work of the Church, a sharing in the teaching mission of the Body of Christ. Catechetical material, like iconography or liturgical chant, strives to speak of the Tradition of the Church. The individual's insights, perceptions, and experiences become significant in that they personalize this Tradition and give witness to it in our contemporary world. Accordingly, each text is the work of the Byzantine Catholic Churches in the United States which participate in ECDD, the catechetical arm of the bishops of Eastern Catholic Associates. We Respond to God is the work of Rev Fred Saato, a priest of the Melkite Greek Catholic Eparchy of Newton and Barbara Frazicr, M.S in Ed. with the help of Marie Yaroshak Nester, M.Ed, in English, B.S. in Secondary Education. The work was reviewed and approved by all the hierarchs of the participating eparchies, their directors of religious education, catechetical stalls, and a review board drawn from the clergy and laity of these eparchies. Therefore, it represents the common faith and vision of their communities. This project is being funded in part by the USCCB Committee on Home Missions, the Greek Catholic Union, the Koch Foundation, the John Victor Machuga Foundation, and the Providence Association for the Ukrainian Catholics in the United States.

The Ordination of a Married Man Into the Priesthood of the Melkite
United States The ordination of a married man into the priesthood of the Melkite Church in the United States has triggered some far-ranging discussions of Eastern traditions and ecumenical prospects. By WILLIAM BOLE t was Christmas eve. Bishop John Elya, spiritual leader of the Melkite Catholics in the United States, and a night owl, had just returned to Ihis residence in Newton, Massachusetts, after celebrating midnight Mass. Instead of turning in, the prelate turned on his computer and logged onto the Internet. "To all my friends in Cyber- space, those who wrote to me recently (as recently as tonight) and those who wrote to me in the past. Grace and peace be unto you from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ whose Birthday we celebrate," announced Bishop Elya, a Syrian-born cleric with silver hair and a goatee. Typing out his greetings, and his wish that the Internet might offer a new tool of Melkite evangelization, the bish- op mentioned one other thing in the form of a postscript: The good news of the week is the ordination of Protodeacon Andre St. Germain to holy priesthood by the laying of my humble hand, on Father Andre St. Germain (with beard) acting in his role as a deacon several Saturday, December 21, at St. Basil years ago. Seminary, Methuen, Massachusetts. arrived in print media-that the bish- their own ways of worship, their own Father Andre St. Germain has com- op's humble hand had ordained a mar- forms of ecclesiastical governance. They pleted all the philosophical and theo- ried man to the Catholic priesthood. -

A full programme, oganized expertly by Henri Boulad (PRO), kept the 30 particpants (from all six continents) busy throughout the working days and evenings, and on the Sunday the group was able to visit the Coptic Orthodox Monastery of St. Makarios. A message from Fr. General underlined the importance of the ecumenical venture among the Society's priorities, and a select number of the participants had been involved with the group since its inception. The agenda ranged widely, focussing in part on ecumenical issues in the complex ecclesial reality of the Middle East, but also on recent developments in the wider ecumenical sphere. We had the opportunity to meet with clergy and laypeople from the Coptic Orthodox and Coptic Evanglical churches, as well as with Muslims. Jacques Masson (PRO) and Christian van Nispen (PRO), with their long years of experience and study of the Church in Egypt introduced us to various of its aspects. Jacques Masson surveyed some of the ecumenical history of the oriental Churches and agreements reached especially among the Chalcedonian and non- Chalcedonian churches in recent years. Victor Chelhot (PRO) from Damascus presented developments in the local attempts to remove the obstacles to unity between the Greek Catholic and Greek Orthodox Churches of Antioch. -
