Sandwiches For the Homeless: A number of people have expressed interest in continuing to participate in this valuable program sponsored by the Pittsburgh Orthodox Clergy Brotherhood. Our next date to provide 240 lunches for those in dire need is Saturday, November 14! Since we are not having a meal for the Parish Feast Day dinner on November 15 because of Covid, we thought it would be meaningful to provide a meal for those who really need it. Each lunch consists of 2 Sandwiches, a fruit serving, cookies or chips, and water. So, we are looking for help in two ways: (1) You may want to donate something toward the lunches. We already have bread, cheese and the fruit cup donated. We need donations toward the sandwich meat, chips/cookies and the water. If you would like to donate, you can use one of the generic envelopes in the vestibule and just write “Sandwiches” on it, or give your donation to Carole Bushak. (2) We are looking for volunteers to help make the lunches on Friday evening, Nov. 13. We could use about 10 people to make the lunches. Also, we need one or two people to drive the lunches up to the distribution place (Neighborhood Resilience Program in the lower Hill District). If you would like to participate in any of this, please let Carole know so that she can begin to organize our time on Friday and Saturday. Thanks in advance for your participation in this valuable cause! Update! Fall Lottery Gift Basket! Letters with a sample number of tickets are now being mailed out. If you run out, please contact Carole Bushak at 412-351-1521. Remember! • Drawing Sunday, November 15, after the Divine Liturgy Page 2 of 4 • $5.00 per chance • Guaranteed prize of at least $400 lottery tickets. Building and Repairs Donations which are available for upcoming repairs to date are $4512! PROTECTION OF HOLY MARY THEOTOKOS October 1/14. From The Menologion [Editor’s note: I know that I am jumping the gun here, since the Feast is not until next week, but given the state of the world today, I cannot think of a better time to reflect on the protection, help and hope that we receive from our holy Mother Mary Theotokos. Perhaps this is a good time to remember that she ALWAYS is with us!] The Protection (Pokrov) of the Most Holy Mother of God: "The Virgin today stands forth within the Church, and with the choirs of the Saints invisibly for us prays to God: angels with hierarchs make reverence, and apostles with prophets sing forth: for us the Birthgiver of God prays to the Pre-eternal God" – this miraculous appearance of the Mother of God occurred in the mid– 10th Century at Constantinople, in the Blakhernae church where there was preserved the Robe of the Mother of God, Her Head-Veil (mathoria) and part of the Belt-Sash, transferred from Palestine in the 5th Century. On Sunday, 1 October, during the time of the all-night vigil, when the church was overflowing with those at prayer, the Fool-for-Christ Saint Andrew (Comm. 2 October) at the fourth hour of the night lifted up his eyes towards the heavens, and beheld coming through the air our Most Holy Lady Mother of God resplendent with an Heavenly light and surrounded by an assembly of the Saints. The holy Baptist of the Lord John and the holy Apostle John the Theologian accompanied the Queen of Heaven. On bended knee the Most Holy Virgin began with tears to pray for Christians and for a long time was at prayer. Then, coming near the Throne of God, She continued Her prayer. Having completed it, She then took from Her head the veil and spread it over the people praying in church, protecting them from enemies both visible and invisible. The Most Holy Lady Mother of God was resplendent with Heavenly glory, and the protecting veil in Her hands gleamed "more than the rays of the sun". Saint Andrew gazed with trembling at the miraculous vision and he asked his disciple Blessed Epiphanios standing alongside him: "Do you see, brother, the Queen and Lady, praying for all the world?" Epiphanios answered: "I do see, holy father, and I am in awe". The Ever-Blessed Mother of God implored the Lord Jesus Christ to accept the prayers of all the people, calling on His Most Holy Name and asking fervently for His help: "O Heavenly King,” said in prayer the Immaculate Queen standing spiritually amidst the Angels, “accept every person, that prays to You and calls on My Name for help. Let them not go empty away unheard from before My Face." Page 3 of 4 Saints Andrew and Epiphanios, allowed to behold the Mother of God at prayer, for a long time gazed at the protecting veil spread over the people and the lightning like flashes in glory to the Lord; as long as the Most Holy Mother of God was there, so likewise was the protecting veil visible; but with Her departure it likewise became invisible, and though having taken it with Her, She left behind the grace of having been there. At the Blakhernae church was preserved the memory of the miraculous appearance of the Mother of God. In the 14th Century, the Russian pilgrim and clerk Aleksandr saw within the church an icon of the Most Holy Mother of God praying for the world, and written (painted), which included a depiction of Saint Andrew in contemplation of Her.
