PASCHA

Glorious is our Paschal Festival and truly splendid this great assembly of the Christian people. And within this holy mystery are contained things both old and new. The celebration of this week, or rather its joyfulness, is shared by such a multitude, that not alone does man rejoice on earth, but even the powers of heaven are united with us in joyful celebration of Christ’s Resurrection. For now the angels, and the hosts of the archangels, also keep holiday this day. And stand waiting for the triumphant return from this earth of Christ Our Lord, Who is King of heaven. And the multitude of the blessed likewise rejoice, proclaiming the Christ Who was begotten before the daystar rose (Ps. 109:3). The earth rejoices, now washed by divine blood. The sea rejoices, honored as it was by His feet upon its waters. And ever more let each soul rejoice, who is born again of water and the Holy Spirit; and at last set free from the ancient curse!

With such great joy does Christ fill our hearts this day by His Resurrection, not alone because He gives us the gladness of this day, but because He has also given us salvation through His Passion, immortality through His Death, healing for our wounds and resurrection from our fall!                                                         

St. Proclus of Constantinople “On the Holy Pasch”

CHRIST IS RISEN!

INDEED HE IS RISEN!

CHRSITOS VOSKRESE!

PALM SUNDAY:

By St. Andrew of Crete

Let us go together to meet Christ on the Mount of Olives. Today he returns from Bethany and proceeds of his own free will toward his holy and blessed passion, to consummate the mystery of our salvation. He who came down from heaven to raise us from the depths of sin, to raise us with himself, we are told in Scripture, above every sovereignty, authority and power, and every other name that can be named, now comes of his own free will to make his journey to Jerusalem. He comes without pomp or ostentation. As the psalmist says: He will not dispute or raise his voice to make it heard in the streets. He will be meek and humble, and he will make his entry in simplicity. Let us run to accompany him as he hastens toward his passion, and imitate those who met him then, not by covering his path with garments, olive branches or palms, but by doing all we can to prostrate ourselves before him by being humble and by trying to live as he would wish.

FIFTH SUNDAY OF GREAT LENT

“The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve and to give his life.” Mark 10:45 Verses 17 and 32 sound the note of Jesus being “on the way”— on the way to Jerusalem, on the way of the cross, with his disciples following along behind. While on the way, Jesus again speaksof his coming passion and death (verses 32-34). This is the third explicit prediction of his suffering and resurrection we find in the gospels. How many additional times he tried to convey the same message to his followers we do not know: in biblical symbolism, three is often a sign of emphasis rather than simply the number between two and four.

We should understand the incident of the rich man in light of verses 33 and 34 and what they imply about discipleship. Jesus invites the man to give his wealth to the poor and “then come, follow me” (verse 21). If the way of Jesus is the way of the cross, then anyone who would come after Jesus must also follow the way of self-sacrificing love. The disciples protest against the difficulty of this way (verses 24,26), for it is as narrow as the eye of a needle (verse 25). Only the grace of God can pull our camel-sized selves through the needle and into his kingdom (verse 27).

The disciples again demonstrate their need for God’s grace by wanting power and glory for themselves (verse 37). Jesus must again instruct them in the way they are to think and behave (verses 42-44) – which is the way he served his Father, by giving up his life as a ransom for many (verse 45).

* For reflection: What has Jesus asked me to give up in order that I may be free to follow him? What has he asked me to do for others in imitation of his laying down his life for them?

* Prayer starter: Lord Jesus, you have asked me to be perfect as your Father is perfect. Give me the grace to do what it is impossible for me to do on my own.

Mk 9:22 If You Can! All Things Are Possible to Him Who Believes

THE INFIRM FAITH OF THE BOY’S FATHER.

CHRYSOSTOM: The Scripture indicates that this man was extremely weak in faith, as is evident at four points: from Christ’s saying that “All things are possible to him that believes;” from the saying of the man himself as he approached, “Help me in my unbelief;” from Christ’s commanding the devil to “enter no more into him.;” and from the man’s saying again to Christ, “If you can.” THE GOSPEL OF ST. MATTHEW, HOMILY 57.3

THIRD SUNDAY OF GREAT LENT

“Never leave your house without making the sign of the cross. It will be to you a staff, a weapon, an impregnable fortress. Neither man nor demon will dare to attack you, seeing you covered with such powerful armor. Let this sign teach you that you are a soldier, ready to combat against the demons, and ready to fight for the crown of justice. Are you ignorant of what the cross has done? It has vanquished death, destroyed sin, emptied hell, dethroned Satan, and restored the universe. Would you then doubt its power?”

By St. John Chrysostom

JESUS HEALS A PARALYTIC

THEOPHYL. But though their thoughts were laid bare, still they remain insensible, refusing to believe that He who knew their hearts could forgive sins, wherefore the Lord proves to them the cure of the soul by that of the hotly, showing time invisible by the visible, that which is more difficult by that which is easier, although they did not look upon it as such. For the Pharisees thought it more difficult to heal the body, as being more open to view; but the soul more easy to cure, because the cure is invisible; so that they reasoned thus, Lo, He does not now cure the body, but heals the unseen soul; if He had had more power, lie would at once have cured the body, and not have fled for refuge to the unseen world. The Savior, therefore, showing that He can do both, says, which is the easier? as if He said, I indeed by the healing of time body, which is in reality more easy, but appears to you more difficult, will prove to you the health of the soul, which is really more difficult.

Great Things Come Out of Nazareth.

 Cyril of Alexandria: Nathanael readily agrees that he expects great things to appear out of Nazareth. It is, I suppose, perfectly clear that not only did he take Nazareth as a pledge of what he sought but, bringing together knowledge from Moses and the prophets as one fond of learning, he gained a pretty quick understanding. “Come and see,” [Philip] says. Sight will suffice for faith. All you need to do is talk with him, and you will be all the more ready to confess and say without hesitation that he is indeed the expected One. But we must also believe that there was a divine and ineffable grace flowing from the words of our Savior that proved alluring for the souls of his hearers…. For since his word is mighty in power, it is also efficacious to persuade. Commentary on the Gospel of John 2.1.

CHEESEFARE

 “It is necessary for believers to again gain the way of the Lord. Let us abandon the crowds and their excited shouting; let not their words entice and influence us. The way of the Lord is narrow, uphill, demanding, lonely, but it is also salutary, as he himself has promised us. The believer must at last attach himself with love to what is essential to his personal existence, setting aside decisively and irrevocably the secondary and superfluous.”

–  St. Symeon of Thessalonica

25:34 Blessed by My Father

Inherit the kingdom. Chrysostom: He commended them for doing what was right. He reveals how great is his bond of love for them and has been from the beginning. “Then the king will say to those at his right hand, ‘Come, O blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.'” To what other blessedness could this blessedness be compared? To be blessed of the Father! Why were they counted worthy of such a great honor? “I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink.” What honor! What blessedness!

He did not say “take” but “inherit” as one’s own, as your Father’s, as yours, as due to you from the first. “For before you were,” he says, “these things had been prepared and made ready for you, because I knew you would be such as you are.” the gospel of Matthew, homily 79.2.

TO RETURN TO THE FATHER’S HOUSE. EPHREM THE SYRIAN:

“Jacob led out his sheep And brought them to his father’s home; A symbol for those with discernment, A parable for those with perception Is to be found in this homecoming:

Let us too return to our Father’s house, My brothers, and do not become captivated with desire For this transient earth -for your true city is in Eden. Blessed indeed is that person Who has seen his dear ones in its midst.” HYMNS ON PARADISE 14,7,
