Dean's Message

The Law Should Free Us

In the Gospel we hear of the healing of a woman who had been bent over with illness for eighteen years when Christ healed her. The response from the Jewish elite was, “There are six days on which men ought to work; therefore come and be healed on them, and not the Sabbath.” (Luke 13.14) This logic is flawed in two ways: God, and not man, did the work of healing; and showing compassion must never be seen as work.

Our Lord says, “So ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath?” (Luke 13.16) The elite were willing to show compassion on their donkeys and oxen (see Luke 13.15) but not on their fellow human beings. Whereas the woman glorified God for her healing, the elite couldn’t see God’s blessing through their own judgment.

The Orthodox Church has many laws just as the Old Testament had many Laws. In a similar way to today’s Gospel lesson, there is a good way to understand the Church and a flawed way. We are in the middle of the Nativity Fast, so we should be fasting but fasting is not a Law. Fasting is a spiritual exercise which frees us from the bonds of sin just as healing the woman freed her from pain. If we think of fasting only as a ‘law’, we are no better than the elites in this morning’s Gospel.

The Law didn’t change the hearts of the elites, so they saw the Love of God with judgment. Fasting must change our hearts or we run the risk of seeing God’s love with the same judgment. The problem is, we end up judging God instead of ourselves. We see God loving others and instead of joy, we feel judgment because we don’t think the others deserve God’s love.

Our Lord is teaching us that it isn’t the Law that is wrong. The Law is good even if we don’t allow it to free our hearts from judgment. The Church expecting us to fast during a season of holiday parties isn’t what is wrong. Not allowing fasting to free our hearts from judgment is the problem, so we choose not to fast.

In the final weeks before Christmas, instead of giving up on fasting, allow fasting to free your heart from judgment. Stop thinking of fasting as ‘a law’ and start thinking of fasting as freedom from judgment. It all starts with love. Give it a try this week and let fasting free your heart.

Fr. Theofanis

In today’s Epistle reading, St. Paul speaks about how Christ brings peace to our lives. He says, “For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation” (Eph. 2:14). Christ’s work on the Cross is not only about bringing us closer to God, but also about bringing us closer to each other, especially when there are divisions between us.

St. Paul talks about the division between Jews and Gentiles in the early Church. But thanks to Christ, this barrier was broken down. Today, many things still separate us …race, wealth, and even disagreements. But just like the early Christians, we are called to find peace with each other in Christ.

One way we can understand this is by looking at the life of St. Nicholas of Myra. St. Nicholas is a great example of someone who lived out this peace. He is known for helping the poor and giving to those in need. One famous story tells us about how he secretly gave bags of gold to a poor man who couldn’t afford a dowry for his three daughters. The man was so poor that he was thinking of selling his daughters to pay for their marriage. But St. Nicholas, seeing his need, gave the man the money he needed to help his daughters. St. Nicholas didn’t do this for praise; he did it because he knew that everyone is part of God’s family and deserves to be helped.

Just like St. Nicholas saw the poor as his brothers and sisters in Christ, we are called to see everyone around us as part of God’s family. We may not always have money to give, but we can still help in other ways..through kindness, encouragement, and sharing what we have. St. Nicholas didn’t just give money; he gave his time, his care, and his love to those in need.

St. Paul writes, “Now therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God” (Eph. 2:19). This means that, through baptism, we are all part of the same family. It doesn’t matter where we come from or what we have; we are all loved by God. In the Church, we are united in Christ, just as St. Nicholas united people through his acts of kindness and generosity.

The Church is a place where we are meant to be united, not divided. Just as St. Nicholas worked to bring peace by helping others, we too are called to build peace in our own communities. When we act with love and care for each other, we show the world the peace of Christ. Amen

+Papa Fanis

The Communion Hymn: “Praise the Lord”

In our exploration of the liturgical hymns of the Orthodox Faith, we have discussed the Antiphons, the Trisagion Hymn, the Cherubic Hymn, the hymns of the Leitourgika and more. Now, we have nearly arrived at the most solemn and glorious moment of the Divine Liturgy, that is, Holy Communion. This is a moment of profoundest reverence, for to receive the Body and Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ - the God-man - is no small matter. This is why the priest, when exiting the altar with the Holy Chalice, declares, “With the fear of God, faith, and love, draw near.” Before and during this prayerful moment each Sunday, we chant the hymn, “Praise the Lord from the heavens. Alleluia.”

The rendition of this hymn which is chanted by the St. Nicholas Cathedral Choir on most Sundays is easily one of the most recognizable and cherished hymns of the entire Divine Liturgy. It is a hymn which calls not only us, but all of creation along with us, to praise the Lord. Consider the words, “...from the heavens.” Notice that we people are here on the earth, not in the heavens. It is the angels of God who are in the heavens! So it is that by chanting this hymn, we acknowledge the union of heavenly and earthly worship in the Divine Liturgy. These are words befitting the moment of Holy Communion, where He who made the entire cosmos is coming down from the heavens to be present with us on earth, even to dwell within our bodies. This is surely a reason for all of creation to praise the Lord! The phrase, “Praise the Lord from the heavens,” is actually the very beginning of Psalm 148:

Praise the Lord from the heavens; praise Him in the highest. Praise Him, all you His angels; praise Him, all you His hosts. Praise Him, sun and moon; praise Him, all you stars and light…. (Psalm 148:1-3)

In some settings, you may hear this Communion Hymn, or “Koinonikon,” chanted as a refrain along with the verses of the Psalm. In fact, you may remember this format of verse and refrain from our exploration of the Antiphons at the beginning of the Divine Liturgy. It bears repeating that the worship of the Orthodox Church is structured around the ancient liturgies, which consisted of various readings from the Psalms, that is, the original book of liturgical hymns!

Once the priests invite the laity to draw near for the reception of Holy Communion, here at St. Nicholas, the cantors will typically chant a longer, more elaborate version of this hymn in the tone of the day. These longer compositions are part of a genus of Byzantine Chant called “papadic.” The papadic genus also includes the Communion Hymn and various beloved paraliturgical hymns. 

The Koinonikon is meant to inspire us toward awe and reverence, and to instill in us a prayerful disposition, preparing us to partake from the Fount of Immortality. This Sunday, allow the chanting of the Communion Hymn to seep into your soul, and praise the Lord as you prayerfully receive His most sacred Mystery.

A Prayer for Healing

"Heavenly Father, physician of our souls and bodies, who have sent Your only-begotten Son and our Lord Jesus Christ to heal every sickness and infirmity, visit and heal me, Your servant, from all physical and spiritual ailments through the grace of Your Christ.  Grant me patience in this sickness, strength of body and spirit, and recovery of health.  Lord, You have taught us through Your word to pray for each other that we may be healed.  I pray that You heal me as Your servant and grant me the gift of complete health.  For You are the source of healing and to You I give glory, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen."

Resurrectional Apolytikion in the Grave Mode

By Your cross, O Lord, You shattered death; to the thief You opened paradise. You transformed the Myrrhbearers' lamentation, and commanded Your Apostles to proclaim that You arose, Christ our God, granting to the world Your great mercy.
Κατέλυσας τῷ Σταυρῷ σου τὸν θάνατον, ἠνέῳξας τῷ Λῃστῇ τὸν Παράδεισον, τῶν Μυροφόρων τὸν θρῆνον μετέβαλες, καὶ τοῖς σοῖς Ἀποστόλοις κηρύττειν ἐπέταξας, ὅτι ἀνέστης Χριστὲ ὁ Θεός, παρέχων τῷ κόσμῳ τὸ μέγα ἔλεος.

Seasonal Kontakion in the 3rd Mode

On this day the Virgin cometh to the cave to give birth to * God the Word ineffably, * Who was before all the ages. * Dance for joy, O earth, on hearing * the gladsome tidings; * with the Angels and the shepherds now glorify Him * Who is willing to be gazed on * as a young Child Who * before the ages is God.
Ἡ Παρθένος σήμερον, τὸν Προαιώνιον Λόγον, ἐν Σπηλαίῳ ἔρχεται, ἀποτεκεῖν ἀπορρήτως. Χόρευε ἡ οἰκουμένη ἀκουτισθεῖσα, δόξασον μετὰ Ἀγγέλων καὶ τῶν Ποιμένων, βουληθέντα ἐποφθῆναι, παιδίον νέον, τὸν πρὸ αἰώνων Θεόν.

Gospel and Epistle Readings

Matins Gospel Reading

Second Orthros Gospel
The Reading is from Mark 16:1-8

When the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Salome, bought spices, so that they might go and anoint Jesus. And very early on the first day of the week they went to the tomb when the sun had risen. And they were saying to one another, "Who will roll away the stone for us from the door of the tomb?" And looking up, they saw that the stone was rolled back - it was very large. And entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe; and they were amazed. And he said to them, "Do not be amazed; you seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen, He is not here; see the place where they laid Him. But go, tell His disciples and Peter that He is going before you to Galilee; there you will see Him, as He told you." And they went out and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had come upon them; and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.

Second Orthros Gospel
Κατὰ Μᾶρκον 16:1-8

Διαγενομένου τοῦ Σαββάτου, Μαρία ἡ Μαγδαληνὴ καὶ Μαρία ἡ τοῦ Ἰακώβου καὶ Σαλώμη ἠγόρασαν ἀρώματα, ἵνα ἐλθοῦσαι ἀλείψωσιν τὸν Ἰησοῦν. Καὶ λίαν πρωῒ τῇ μιᾷ τῶν σαββάτων ἔρχονται ἐπὶ τὸ μνημεῖον ἀνατείλαντος τοῦ ἡλίου. Καὶ ἔλεγον πρὸς ἑαυτάς· Τίς ἀποκυλίσει ἡμῖν τὸν λίθον ἐκ τῆς θύρας τοῦ μνημείου; καὶ ἀναβλέψασαι θεωροῦσιν ὅτι ἀποκεκύλισται ὁ λίθος· ἦν γὰρ μέγας σφόδρα. Καὶ εἰσελθοῦσαι εἰς τὸ μνημεῖον, εἶδον νεανίσκον καθήμενον ἐν τοῖς δεξιοῖς, περιβεβλημένον στολήν λευκήν, καὶ ἐξεθαμβήθησαν· ὁ δὲ λέγει αὐταῖς· Μὴ ἐκθαμβεῖσθε, Ἰησοῦν ζητεῖτε τὸν Ναζαρηνὸν τὸν ἐσταυρωμένον, ἠγέρθη, οὐκ ἔστιν ᾧδε· ἴδε, ὁ τόπος ὅπου ἔθηκαν αὐτόν, ἀλλ' ὑπάγετε, εἴπατε τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ καὶ τῷ Πέτρῳ, ὅτι προάγει ὑμᾶς εἰς τὴν Γαλιλαίαν· ἐκεῖ αὐτὸν ὄψεσθε, καθὼς εἶπεν ὑμῖν. Καὶ ἐξελθοῦσαι ταχὺ ἔφυγον ἀπὸ τοῦ μνημείου, εἶχε δὲ αὐτὰς τρόμος καὶ ἔκστασις, καὶ οὐδενὶ οὐδὲν εἶπον· ἐφοβοῦντο γάρ.


Epistle Reading

24th Sunday after Pentecost
The Reading is from St. Paul's Letter to the Ephesians 2:14-22

Brethren, Christ is our peace, who has made us both one, and has broken down the dividing wall of hostility, by abolishing in his flesh the law of commandments and ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace, and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby bringing the hostility to an end. And he came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near; for through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father. So then you are no longer strangers and sojourners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole structure is joined together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord; in whom you also are built into it for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.

24th Sunday after Pentecost
Πρὸς Ἐφεσίους 2:14-22

Ἀδελφοί, Χριστός ἐστιν ἡ εἰρήνη ἡμῶν, ὁ ποιήσας τὰ ἀμφότερα ἕν, καὶ τὸ μεσότοιχον τοῦ φραγμοῦ λύσας, τήν ἔχθραν ἐν τῇ σαρκί αὐτοῦ, τὸν νόμον τῶν ἐντολῶν ἐν δόγμασιν, καταργήσας· ἵνα τοὺς δύο κτίσῃ ἐν ἑαὐτῷ εἰς ἕνα καινὸν ἄνθρωπον, ποιῶν εἰρήνην, καὶ ἀποκαταλλάξῃ τοὺς ἀμφοτέρους ἐν ἑνὶ σώματι τῷ θεῷ διὰ τοῦ σταυροῦ, ἀποκτείνας τὴν ἔχθραν ἐν αὐτῷ· καὶ ἐλθὼν εὐηγγελίσατο εἰρήνην ὑμῖν τοῖς μακρὰν καὶ τοῖς ἐγγύς· ὅτι διʼ αὐτοῦ ἔχομεν τὴν προσαγωγὴν οἱ ἀμφότεροι ἐν ἑνὶ πνεύματι πρὸς τὸν πατέρα. Ἄρα οὖν οὐκέτι ἐστὲ ξένοι καὶ πάροικοι, ἀλλὰ συμπολῖται τῶν ἁγίων καὶ οἰκεῖοι τοῦ θεοῦ, ἐποικοδομηθέντες ἐπὶ τῷ θεμελίῳ τῶν ἀποστόλων καὶ προφητῶν, ὄντος ἀκρογωνιαίου αὐτοῦ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, ἐν ᾧ πᾶσα οἰκοδομὴ συναρμολογουμένη αὔξει εἰς ναὸν ἅγιον ἐν κυρίῳ, ἐν ᾧ καὶ ὑμεῖς συνοικοδομεῖσθε εἰς κατοικητήριον τοῦ θεοῦ ἐν πνεύματι.


Gospel Reading

10th Sunday of Luke
The Reading is from Luke 13:10-17

At that time, Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath. And there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity for eighteen years; she was bent over and could not fully straighten herself. And when Jesus saw her, he called her and said to her, "Woman, you are freed from your infirmity." And he laid his hands upon her, and immediately she was made straight, and she praised God. But the ruler of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had healed on the sabbath, said to the people, "There are six days on which work ought to be done; come on those days and be healed, and not on the sabbath day." Then the Lord answered him, "You hypocrites! Does not each of you on the sabbath untie his ox or his donkey from the manger, and lead it away to water it? And ought not this woman, a daughter of Abraham whom Satan bound for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?" As he said this, all his adversaries were put to shame; and all the people rejoiced at all the glorious things that were done by him.

10th Sunday of Luke
Κατὰ Λουκᾶν 13:10-17

Τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ, ῏Ην δὲ διδάσκων ἐν μιᾷ τῶν συναγωγῶν ἐν τοῖς σάββασι. καὶ ἰδοὺ γυνὴ ἦν πνεῦμα ἔχουσα ἀσθενείας ἔτη δέκα καὶ ὀκτώ, καὶ ἦν συγκύπτουσα καὶ μὴ δυναμένη ἀνακῦψαι εἰς τὸ παντελές. ἰδὼν δὲ αὐτὴν ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς προσεφώνησε καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ· γύναι, ἀπολέλυσαι τῆς ἀσθενείας σου· καὶ ἐπέθηκεν αὐτῇ τὰς χεῖρας· καὶ παραχρῆμα ἀνωρθώθη καὶ ἐδόξαζε τὸν Θεόν. ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ ἀρχισυνάγωγος, ἀγανακτῶν ὅτι τῷ σαββάτῳ ἐθεράπευσεν ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς, ἔλεγε τῷ ὄχλῳ· ἓξ ἡμέραι εἰσὶν ἐν αἷς δεῖ ἐργάζεσθαι· ἐν ταύταις οὖν ἐρχόμενοι θεραπεύεσθε, καὶ μὴ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τοῦ σαββάτου. ἀπεκρίθη οὖν αὐτῷ ὁ Κύριος καὶ εἶπεν· ὑποκριτά, ἕκαστος ὑμῶν τῷ σαββάτῳ οὐ λύει τὸν βοῦν αὐτοῦ ἢ τὸν ὄνον ἀπὸ τῆς φάτνης καὶ ἀπαγαγὼν ποτίζει; ταύτην δέ, θυγατέρα ᾿Αβραὰμ οὖσαν, ἣν ἔδησεν ὁ σατανᾶς ἰδοὺ δέκα καὶ ὀκτὼ ἔτη, οὐκ ἔδει λυθῆναι ἀπὸ τοῦ δεσμοῦ τούτου τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τοῦ σαββάτου; καὶ ταῦτα λέγοντος αὐτοῦ κατῃσχύνοντο πάντες οἱ ἀντικείμενοι αὐτῷ, καὶ πᾶς ὁ ὄχλος ἔχαιρεν ἐπὶ πᾶσι τοῖς ἐνδόξοις τοῖς γινομένοις ὑπ᾿ αὐτοῦ.
