2019 LENTEN GUIDE WEB.Pub
LENTEN GUIDE 2019 Great Lent begins on March 11 and is followed by Holy Week, leading us to Pascha, Easter Sunday, April 28, 2019. We will greet the holy season of Great Lent with joy and enthusiasm and with the hope that we will be found worthy of its beauty and power. It is the season of repentance, a time to slow down and once again rediscover the meaning of our life in Christ. It is the time set aside each year for a renewal of our soul in the hope which has been given to us in Christ. This simple Lenten Guide highlights some of the Lenten services and activities taking place this year. Please try to take advantage of the unique opportunity of this holy season for the purpose of spiritual cleansing and healing. May God help us all to do so! Each Sunday during Great Lent, Matins is celebrated at 9:00 a.m. and the Divine Liturgy at 10:00 a.m. as usual. However, during the ﬁve Sundays in Great Lent, the Liturgy of Saint Basil is celebrated, instead of the usual Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom. The Liturgy of Saint Basil contains some of the most beautiful prayers of the Church. The Sacrament of Holy Confession The Sacrament of Penance—Confession is our opportunity for reconciliation with God and man in the Church. There are three main elements to the act of formal penance: Sincere sorrow for sins committed; an open and heartfelt confession of sins; and the prayer of absolution given by God through the priest and through which the forgiveness of God is bestowed upon the repentant sinner.

Gregory Palamas at the Council of Blachernae, 1351 Papadakis, Aristeides Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies; Winter 1969; 10, 4; ProQuest pg. 333 Gregory Palamas at the Council of Blachernae, 1351 Aristeides Papadakis HE STORY of the last centuries of Byzantium is one of shrinking Tfrontiers and inevitable disintegration, graphically illustrated by the disasters of Manzikert (1071) and Myriocephalon (1176). The final disaster of 1453 only marks the end of a story the outcome of which had long been determined. Curiously enough, however, these years of increasing decay, when Byzantium proved Ha marvel of tenacity,"1 were also years of extraordinary vitality in such areas as Byzantine theology and art. The profound puzzle of cultural energy amidst political inertia and exhaustion is best illustrated by hesychasm -a movement long organic to Byzantine spirituality, but which first gained momentum with its first eminent exponent, Gregory Palamas, theologian and monk of Mount Athos, and subsequent archbishop of Thessalonica. Happily, confusion and obSCUrity no longer shroud the personality and achievement of Gregory Palamas. Recent research has shown that Pal amite theology-the cause celebre that shook the fabric of Byzantine society in the 1340s-constitutes an organic continuation of the strong biblical and patristic tradition of the Byzantine Church. The theology of Palamas is in no wayan innovative or heretical deviation from orthodoxy (and therefore of marginal importance as some have thought).2 No one has contributed more to making Palamas accessible 1 Cf.

The Byzantine Euchologion
The Byzantine Euchologion by George N. Filias - rev. Theodoros J. Koumarianos University of Athens The Euchologion is a codex that contains a collection of prayers. The composite word is made from the Greek words εὐχή (prayer) and λόγιον (collection). It is the Prayer Book used bishops, priests and deacons for all kinds of Ἀκολουθίαι in the Byzantine Rite, such as the Holy Mysteries, the Offices and other Prayers. In this article Filias first discusses the content of the Euchologion followed by its origins, evolution and history. He places the manuscript tradition into groups according to textual content. Focus is then given to the liturgical function of the Euchologion and related codex structures with examples of problems concerning nomenclature. The article ends with an outline of scholarly research in particular most recent studies along with a useful appendix exhibiting the contents of a Euchologion. The text of each Prayer in the Euchologion almost always contains references to scriptural passages and biblical events, as well as praises and thanksgiving to God for His benefactions, and finally petitions to God. Every single Prayer is constructed in a dialogical form between God and man. Prayers are usually written down in small groups, each group constituting a different Service, such as the Holy Liturgy, the rite of Baptism, Vespers, Matins, the Great Blessing of Waters on Theophany, the rite of Matrimony, and the Burial Service. A Euchologion also includes rubrics or liturgical instructions for the proper performance of Services, independent from the rest of its contents. During the first five centuries there was freedom in the recitation of Prayers, and writing them down for reciting was unnecessary.

St Basil's Contribution to the Trinitarian Doctrine: A
ST BASIL’S CONTRIBUTION TO THE TRINITARIAN DOCTRINE: A SYNTHESIS OF GREEK PAIDEIA AND THE SCRIPTURAL WORLDVIEW Philip Kariatlis Abstract: St Basil’s contribution to the formulation of the doctrine of the Holy Trinity has long been acknowledged in the Christian tradition. Indeed, he was responsible for articulating the ‘orthodox’ vision of God with theological and philosophical originality that truly laid the foundations upon which the way of pondering the Trinitarian mystery in the East was established. His achievement lay in his remarkable ability to ennoble the culture of the day with the Christian message without in any way compromising the latter. This paper explores the Trinitarian theology of St Basil with a view towards highlighting the harmonious synthesis of Greek paideia and the scriptural worldview. ndeniably, the Church’s teaching on the mystery of the Holy Trinity stands at the very heart of Christian belief. Indeed, Uit has rightly been recognised as Christianity’s differentia specifica, namely that specific teaching which clearly distinguishes the 1 Christian faith from all other forms of monotheism. Notwithstanding the importance of this teaching and the fact that it is firmly rooted in the Scriptures, it nevertheless took the early Church many years to acquire a clearly articulated theology of the Trinitarian mystery. The need for precise terminology particularly emerged when the Church had to define with accuracy in what way the one God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob – namely, the Father almighty – was related to Jesus Christ – who was professed to be God’s only begotten Son, his eternal Word and Image – PHRONEMA, VOL.
