Remarks from Fr. Michael

“LoveEachOther” Dearly Beloved, March 2020 We are in the first week of Great Lent and I pray that all will enjoy health and every blessing of God in these forty days of fasting, vigilance and prayer. We hear and read many uplifting things all essential to our Lenten discipline, here I want to deal with one of these, with the help of God, we should all grasp and experience fully. This is the virtue of love which must fill our hearts during Great Lent; love towards God and love towards our brethren.

Love in reality describes the very essence of the Christian way of life. The Christian application oflove is a moral necessity if we are to overcome its opposite which is hate. The concept of love which is called the Golden Rule (Matthew 7:12) should determine the whole inward disposition of Christian life and conduct. Our Lord Jesus Christ has given us explicitly the new commandment as the fulfillment oflove. We have to think very deeply and very carefully on the majestic words of our Lord when He tells us: “A new commandment I give unto you, that you love one another; even as I have loved you, that you alsolove one another” (John 13:34) and He adds with emphasis “By this shall all men know, that you aremydisciplesif youhavelovedone toanother” (John 13:35). Against this loving disposition for God and neighbor which our Lord commands us to follow, we have the work of the Devil who fights the will of God by creating sin and division, the very rejection of love and the work of Christ and His Church. Now we don’t only experience this demonic darkness in the ugliness of our secular world of crimes, hatred, terrorism, and wars, etc. but every time each and every one of us forgets his Christian obligation to the Golden Rule, becomes without realizing it an instrument of hate, bitterness and destruction even within our Christian community. We may catch ourselves criticizing, gossiping, exposing others with our words and actions. Either a Christian behaves as a Christian with respect and love in his heart and undergoes an inward change of moral and spiritual perfection (which is our great task for Lent) or adopts simply bitterness and hate in his heart certainly not for God but for some of his brethren. Christian love inspires us to be humble, to serve and sacrifice as a parent does for his children. “Thesonofmancamenottobeservedbuttoserve and to give his life as a ransom for many” (Matthew 20:28). This is the great thing of Lent. This is what Lent is all about. How much God loved the world, and this is what He calls upon us to follow as His disciples. If God’sloveforman be the motive of man’sloveforGod and his fellowmen, then, we as Christians attaincommunionwithGod and the fellowship with His saints and with our fellowmen. In emphasizing the Christian concept of love our Lord enters this measure of forgiveness when He teaches us how to pray to the Father, “forifyouforgivementheirtrespasses,yourheavenlyFatheralsowillforgiveyou” (Matthew 6:14). Forgiveness “seventy times seven” is part of Christian love. “You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy, but I say to you, love yourenemies and pray for those who persecute you, for if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?” (Matthew 5:43-44,46). To put it simply if we strike against the strong hold of the devil and sin, we are called upon to forgive. Forgiveness iswhatmakesuspartof theChrist given

THE SOURCE MARCH 2020 Page 3 unity by the power of the Holy Spirit. It safeguards the whole harmony and order of Church life and vivifies the Christian love. To forgive someone means that I put between myself and my so call enemy the blessed forgiveness of God. To be able to forgive means that I acknowledge the difficulty of human relationships and I bring the whole matter to Christ. To forgive means that I bring Christ, Himself and His blessed kingdom to my life and to the life of my fellowmen. Truly, forgiveness is a passing into the blessed kingdom of God. If indeed we achieve, during Great Lent to put ourselves in our desire for loveof God and man and to bring this experience to our neighbors, relatives, friends and even to our enemies, then we free ourselves from our ego-centricity, the slavery of sin and then we enter into the life of Christ. Then Great Lent will bring a magnificent reward not only in our lives but in the life of our community. Great Lent truly prepares us for the Feast of the Resurrection of our Lord. Not only to forgive but something that is even more difficult, to beg for forgiveness. In this spirit, the spirit of this call of our Lord, I want to beg from each and every one of you forgiveness for my own faults, for my own passions and mistakes asking you to both forgive me and to pray for me that I may minister to all as our Lord commands. Let us try to do our best to practice forgiveness and love; each helping the other to become a worthy member of His Church. Amen. I pray with you for all of us that we may have a worthy and Holy Lent. Amen.

In Christ’s love, Fr. Michael

«ΑγαπάτεΑλλήλους»

Ευλαβείς Χρστιανοί, Μάρτιος 2020 Ευρισκόμεθα στήν πρώτη εβδομάδα τής Μεγάλης Τεσσρακοστής καί ευχόμεθα σέ όλους να διέλθωμε καί τίς σαράντα ημέρες με υγεία με πνευματικό αγώνα, άσκηση καί κάθε ευλογία τού Θεού. Ενώ ακούμε καί διαβάζουμε γιά πολλά καί διαφορετικά απαραίτητα στοιχεία πού απαρτίζουν τήν Μεγάλη Τεσσαρακοστή εγώ θά ήθελα νά στρέψω τήν προσοχή σας σέ ένα στοιχείο καί νά παρακαλέσω μέ τήν βοήθεια τού Θεού νά κατάβάλλουμε όλοι μας τήν καλύτερή μας προσπάθεια νά τό οικειοποιηθούμε. Αναφέρουμε στήν αγάπη πού πρέπει νά πλημμυρίζει τίς καρδιές μας καί πρός τόν Θεό καί πρός τόν συνάνθρωπό μας. Καί αναφέρομε επίσης στό αντίθετο στοιχείο πού πρέπει να αποφύγουμε, τό μίσος. Ο Χριστός καί Σωτήρας μας έδειξε ρητά τήν καινούργια εντολή πού οφείλουμε να διαφυλάττουμε στή ζωή μας λέγοντας «εντολήν καινήν δίδωμι υμίν ίνα αγαπάτε αλλήλους» (Ιωάννου 13:34, 15:12 & 17). Καί τόνισε ότι οι άνθρωποι θά ξέρουν ότι είμαστε μαθητές Του εάν η αγάπη επικρατεί στίς σχέσεις μας. «Εν τούτω γνώσονται πάντες ότι εμοί μαθηταί εστέ εάν αγάπην έχετε εν αλλήλοις.» (Ιωάννου 13:35)

THE SOURCE MARCH 2020 Page 4 Αντίθετα, φίλοι μου, τό τραγικό καί αληθινό είναι ότι ο θρίαμβος τού διαβόλου καί τής αμαρτίας, πάνω στόν κόσμο είναι η διαίρεση, η αντίθεση, η αποστροφή, ο χωρισμός, τό μίσος. Καί δυστυχώς εύκολα τό βλέπει κανείς αυτό νά επικρατεί καί στην κοινωνία που ζούμε και ίσως και ανάμεσα σέ μέλη τής Κοινότητός μας. Το βλέπουμε αυτό όταν κουτσομπολεύουμε, κατακρίνουμε, κακολογούμε και εκθέτουμε στα μάτια των άλλων, συνανθρώπους μας. Αν αυτό συμβαίνει τότε τίποτε δέν μπορεί νά μάς διακιολογήσει στά μάτια τού Χριστού μας. Ούτε επίσης μπορούμε νά ετοιμάσουμε τόν εαυτόν μας γιά τό Πάσχα άν δέν επιτρέψουμε να αλλάξει η καρδιά μας. Ο Χριστός έβαλε για μας ένα όρο πού φαίνεται στήν Κυριακή Προσευχή «καί άφες ημίν τά οφελήματα ημών ως καί ημείς αφίεμεν τοίς οφειλέταις ημών» καί επίσης στό εδάφιο Ματθαίου 6:14 «εάν αφήτε τοίς ανθρώποις τά παραπτώματα αυτών αφήσει καί υμίν ο Πατήρ ημών ο ουράνιος». Δηλαδή άν θέλουμε νά καταφέρουμε καταστρεπτικό χτύπημα στό φρούριο τού διαβόλου καί τής αμαρτίας καλούμαστε νά συγχωρούμε. Η συγχωρητικότητα επιτυγχάνει τήν επιστροφή στήν ενότητα, εξασφαλίζει τήν συμπόνοια, επιβάλλει τήν ομόνοια καί τήν αρμονία, ξαναφέρνει τήν αγάπη. Τό νά συγχωρήσω κάποιον σημαίνει ότι βάζω ανάμεσα σέ μένα καί στόν «εχθρό» μου τήν ακτινοβόλα συγχώρεση τού ίδιου τού Θεού. Τό νά συγχωρήσω εννοεί ότι αγνοώ αυτό τό αδιέξοδο στίς ανθρώπινες σχέσεις καί τό αναφέρω στό Χριστό. Τό νά συγχωρήσω σημαίνει ότι φέρνω τόν Χριστό, τήν Βασιλεία Του σέ μένα, στόν συνάνθρωπό μου. Πράγματι συγχώρεση είναι ένα πέρασμα τής Βασιλείας τού Θεού μέσα στόν αμαρτωλό καί «πεπτωκότα» κόσμο. Αμα πραγματι καταφερουμε σ΄αυτη τη Μεγαλη Τεσσαρακοστη να τοποθετησουμε στην θεση της επιθυμίας μας τήν αγάπη μας πρός τον Θεό καί τόν συνάνθρωπό μας, τόν κάθε συνάνθρωπό μας συγγενή, φίλο, γνωστό καί «εχθρό» , τότε απελευθερωνόμαστε από τόν εγωκεντρισμό μας καί τήν σκλαβιά τής αμαρτίας καί τότε ζούμε γιά τόν Χριστό καί γιά τήν πνευματική μας προκοπή. Τότε η Μεγάλη Τεσσαρακοστή θά φέρει ένα τεράστιο όφελος στόν καθένα μας, στήν ενορία μας ακόμη και στην κοινωνία που ζούμε. Τότε η Μεγάλη Τεσσαρακοστή μάς προετοιμάζει γιά τό Πάσχα. Καί κάτι περισσότερο όχι μόνο νά συγχωρούμε αλλά καί νά ζητήσουμε συγχώρεση. Καί εγώ προσωπικά θέλω νά παρακαλέσω τόν κάθε ένα σας γιά τίς πολλές ατέλειές μου καί γιά τά πάθη καί τά λάθη μου νά μέ συγχωρέσετε καί σάς παρακαλώ νά προσεύχεσθε καί γιά μένα νά μπορώ νά διακονώ όλους σας όπως ο Κύριος θέλει. Ας φροντίσουμε νά κάνουμε τό καλύτερο πού μπορούμε βοηθώντας ο ένας τόν άλλον γιά νά είμαστε τά τίμια μέλη τής Εκκλησίας του Χριστού μας. Αμήν. Προσεύχομαι μαζί σας νά έχουμε όλοι Καλή καί Αγία Τεσσαρακοστή. Αμήν.

Μέ αγάπη εν Χριστώ,

πατήρ Μιχάηλ Βαρβαρέλης

A NOTE FROM THE PARISH COUNCIL Dear Parishioners, On Sunday February 16, 2020 our community sponsored a fund raiser for two orphans from Agrinio, Greece. I want to thank Father Michael for his spiritual guidance and everyone who participated in making this day special and memorable. For those of us who were able to attend the luncheon, we were blessed with delicious food, service and heartfelt appreciation by the Thomas Tzanis Family who donated all of the food, time and love in making this a successful event. We could not have had any better hosts. Thank You! At the end of the day, our parish was able to raise $7,737 from people who attended the event and from those who left their donation because they were unable to make the event. The generosity of our community continues. Since the luncheon, donations have been coming in from our parish individuals and organizations of the church. The latest total is now approaching $10,000. Father Michael is going to wait another 10 days to send the check. If you have not had the chance to donate. please contact Father Michael or the office to make your donation. As children of the lord, we expect God to work in earthshaking events, after all He is God. This is a great lesson of small blessings accumulating and making a difference for two orphans and for our community. We both were blessed: raising money for two needy orphans and in return our community opened our hearts and showed our love for the lord. Thank You Everyone! Yours in Christ, Basil Papoutsis Parish Council President

SUNDAY SCHOOL This is Oratorical Festival time. The date is

Sunday, March 8, 2020. Please encourage your child to participate. Our students are very busy with studies and activities in school, but this project gives them an opportunity to look into their Orthodox Faith. Some students may enter the project to participate in the reading of their reports for competition or the student may just want to research and write something short expressing their feelings about a topic that interests them.

Please have your child in Church in time to hear the Epistle and Gospel readings for each Sunday.

We would appreciate if the parents would donate cookies, crackers, etc. to be kept in the Church kitchen and put out each Sunday for Sunday School treat during Coffee Hour. If you would like to donate, please see Despina Aftosmes or Thana Ward. We greatly thank you.

Following Father Michael’s opening prayer, the Greek and American National Anthems will be sung by Ms. Diane Foutres.

THREE HIERARCHS SCHOLARSHIP AWARDS (FOR GRADUATING HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS): In 1981, Drs. Anthony and Joyce Kales conceived, established and originally funded five endowment funds for Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Cathedral. These endowment funds included: The Three Hierarchs Scholarship Awards Fund; Saints Joachim and Anna Senior Citizens Fund; Saints Eleftherios and Stylianos JOY Fund; Saint Gregory Palamas Holy Cross Seminary Fund; and, Saint Cosmas Aitolos Greek School Fund. The Drs. Kales intended the Three Hierarchs Scholarship Awards to recognize and stimulate interest in superior academic achievement among our young parishioners. They continued to fund and manage this endowment until it grew substantially so that it now can provide up to 5 or 6 Three Hierarchs Scholarship Awards yearly from the Drs. Anthony and Joyce Kales Fund within the overall endowment.

In the 1990’s a contribution by Costas and Ekaterina Costopoulos allowed for creation of the Costas and Ekaterina Costopoulos Family Fund within the overall Three Hierarchs Endowment which can provide for an additional yearly scholarship.

Each year, at the beginning of May, all graduating high school seniors who are members of the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Cathedral community are eligible to submit their high school transcript and information of superior academic achievement and scholastic standing to be considered for this award. The application is evaluated in relation to the following criteria: (1) a combined SAT score for critical reading and math of 1320 or greater (the combined scores must be from the same SAT exam i.e., scores cannot be combined from two separate exams); and (2) membership in the National Honor Society, (3) Grade Point Average of 3.5 or above. The amount of the scholarship awards may vary between $500 and $1500 depending on the amount of funds available for distribution. It is emphasized that the applicants must have taken the SAT examination. i.e. ACT substitution is not allowed. Those graduating high school seniors who wish to be considered for an award may request an application packet from the Church Office. The application with all required information as outlined must be submitted to the Church Office by Sunday, May 6, 2019 to be eligible for consideration. Any questions should be directed to Dr. Anthony Kales by email [email protected].

Selected candidate/s will be notified and invited to attend Holy Trinity’s Youth Recognition Sunday on June 2nd to receive the award immediately following Divine Liturgy.

NEOHORITON SYLLOGOS SCHOLARSHIP: Each year, graduating high school seniors who are of Neohoriton heritage are eligible to submit their high school transcript and information of superior academic achievement and scholastic standing to be considered for a Neohoriton Syllogos Scholarship award.

The scholarship award was established to recognize superior academic achievement among our Neohoriti youth. Selection for this scholarship award will be based on a student’s academic performance in relation to the following criteria: (1) Class Ranking; (2) Grade Point Average; and (3) SAT scores. Selected candidates will be notified and invited to the Annual Neohoriton Picnic to be held during the latter part of July to receive the scholarship award.

Those graduating seniors who wish to be considered for an award may request an application packet from Holy Trinity Cathedral Office or may contact Mrs. Panagiota Asimakakis-Rouvalis at (717) 776-3001, or e-mail address: [email protected].
