Dormition of the

Theotokos

The Holy Scriptures tell us that when our

Lord was dying on the Cross, He saw His

mother and His disciple John and said to the

Virgin Mary, "Woman, behold your son!" and

to John, "Behold your mother!" (John 19:25-

27). From that hour, the Apostle took care of

the Theotokos in his own home.

Along with the biblical reference in Acts

2:14 that confirms that the Virgin Mary was

with the Holy Apostles on the day of

Pentecost, the tradition of the Church holds

that she remained in the home of the Apostle

John in Jerusalem, continuing a ministry in

word and deed.

At the time of her death, the disciples of

our Lord who were preaching throughout the

world returned to Jerusalem to see the

Theotokos. Except for the Apostle Thomas, all

of them including the Apostle Paul were

gathered together at her bedside. At the

moment of her death, Jesus Christ himself

descended and carried her soul into heaven.

Following her repose, the body of the

Theotokos was taken in procession and laid in

a tomb near the Garden of Gethsemane. When

the Apostle Thomas arrived three days after

her repose and desired to see her body, the

tomb was found to be empty. The bodily

assumption of the Theotokos was confirmed

by the message of an angel and by her

appearance to the Apostles.

Transfiguration of our Lord and Savior

Jesus Christ

Our Lord had spoken to His disciples many times

not only concerning His Passion, Cross, and Death,

but also concerning the coming persecutions and

afflictions that they themselves would endure.

Since all these evils were near at hand, but the

enjoyment of good things which they hoped to

receive in their stead was yet to come, our Savior

desired to give them full assurance, evidently and

openly, concerning that glory which is prepared for

those who endure to the end. Therefore, fulfilling

that which He had promised shortly before, that

"there be some standing here which shall not taste

of death, till they see the Son of man coming in His

Kingdom" (Matt. 16:28), He took His three

foremost disciples and ascended Mount Tabor,

where He was transfigured before them. His face

shone like the sun, and His clothes became white as

the light. Suddenly, together with this dread and

marvelous effulgence of light, there appeared those

pinnacles of the Prophets, Moses and Elias, who

spoke with the Lord Jesus concerning His saving

Passion which was about to take place. Standing

before Him as reverent servants, they showed that

He is the Lord of both the living and the dead, for

Moses came forth from Hades, having died many

centuries before, and Elias, as it were from heaven,

whither he had been taken up while yet alive. After

a little while a radiant cloud overshadowed them

and out of the cloud they heard that same voice

which had been heard at the Jordan at the Baptism

of Christ, testifying to the Divinity of Jesus and

saying: "This is My beloved Son, in Whom I am

well-pleased; hear ye Him" (Matt. 17: 5).

Axios! Congratulations to OCMC Missionary Fr. Stephanos Ritsi who was ordained to the

priesthood on June, 2019, in Albania by His Beatitude Archbishop Anastasios.

He is worthy! I Denje! Axios!

This past Sunday, June 9, 2019, Deacon Stephanos Ritsi was ordained to the Holy Priest-

hood. He was ordained by His Beatitude Archbishop Anastasios in the Resurrection of Christ

Cathedral in Tirana, Albania. This marked a major step in Father Stephanos's journey and

ministry as a missionary.

After growing up in the mission field, Fr. Stephanos has continued to be deeply involved in

missions throughout his life. He discerned his calling to long-term missionary service after

participating on a short-term mission team to Kenya. At that point, he applied to the Holy

Cross School of Theology and graduated with both his Master's of Divinity and Certificate in

Missions and Ecumenism.

Fr. Stephanos met his wife Alexandria there at the seminary. The two of them graduated in

2012 and set out to serve in Albania together in 2013.

Since then, the couple has worked diligently to support the Church in Albania. Fr. Stephanos

has served as the first deacon at the Cathedral in Tirana, taught missiology at the Resurrec-

tion of Christ Seminary in Durres, and helped in the office of the Archbishop - all while

pursing doctoral studies in Thessaloniki, Greece. Presbytera Alexandria teaches English at

Logos University and the Protagonist School, leads a group within the Spiritual Journey Cat-

echism program at the Protagonist School, works as one of the Church’s official photogra-

phers, and also hosts a regular radio show on Radio Ngjallja.

Between the two of them, Fr. Stephanos and Pres. Alexandria have an incredible amount of

talent, and they've been doing a lot of great work for the Church in Albania. We are excited

to celebrate Fr. Stephanos’s ordination with them, and we look forward to all the good work

they will continue to do!

Please keep Fr. Stephanos, Pres. Alexandria, and their family in your prayers. To stay up-to-

date with their news or donate to support them, visit the link below:
