M. X O n the last Sunday of the month of A ugust this yea r we h ea rd t he gospel reading from St Matthew's passage, chapter 14, verses It is the continuatio n o f the gospel o f the previo us Sunday. A fter feeding the five th o u sa nd people with the fi ve loaves and the two fish, th e Lord o rders the disciples to enter a ship and go to the other side o f the sea of Galilee, w hile the Lo rd went up to a mountain, al one, in O'rder to pray. :' M ea nw hile, there was a great tempest in the sea and the ship w ith the disciples began to sink. Suddenly, the Lo rd appeared walking o n the waves. At first, the disciples tho ught that it w as ghost, but the Lord assures them : "Take courage, it is /."The n, Peter requests Him : "Lord, ca l/ m e to com e to you". esus answ ers: "Com e". Peter bega n to w alk o n the w aves on the way to esus. But th en, looking at the waves, he began to fea r and to sink. H e cri ed out: "Lord, sa ve m e". The Lord took him by the hand and to ld him: " 0 m an o f lit lie faith, wherefor e have you h esitated''? Then esu s entered the ship w ith ' Pe ter, the win d and the sea calmed and the desciples confessed that Christ is indeed the Son o f God. O n e m ay ask, w h at is the signi fica nce o f this gospel readin g? In w h at way ca n w e benefit from it in o ur sp iritual life? Let us take tw o points in p articular. First, the w ild waves o n w hic h Peter w alks in his directio n toward s Christ ca n b e compared w ith th e d ifficulties o f ou r li fe, and even more so with the man y te mptations in o ur daily life. At the beginning we no tice that Pete r asks permiss io n from the ~ o rd to approach Him and then he wa lks on the sea towards Christ. This point teaches us that we should never altempt anything great and important in our life before we make sure we have the blessing and the call from the Lo rd to do so. The second po int 10 notice from this go spel reading is Ihe w ay Peter's faith begins to waver, whe n he ceases looking at the Lord, but loo ks at the tempes tuous w aves and becomes frightened o f them. Th e same happens in o ur life. As long as we continue to lo ok at the Lord, w e receive stre nghl from Him and w e overcome our difficulties and our temptations. But when, instead of looking at Ihe Lord, we look at Ihe magnitude of our difficullies and the various temptations in our life, then we are lost in them and we are completely overcome by Ihem. The significa nce o f these two po ints if g reat fo r o ur ch ristian life. Th e w ild waves in the sea o f our life w ill never be absent fro m us as hardships and as temptations. O ur ca ll is to al w ays loo k to the Perso n of o ur Lord, who is ever present w ith us. Looking at Him w ith faith and p rayer w ill ensure Ihal we never sink but fulfill our requests in all details of our life. Fr. M.

6 r [ ' L ~~:~~~:~~:~~:~~:~~~:~~~:~~ The Epitaphios and the lamentations of the Virgin Mary When, we, as Orthodox Christians, speak of the "Epitaphios" and the "Lamentations", our mind usually goes to Holy and Great Friday, when the multitude of the faithful gather before the image of the body of Christ, placed in a sepulchre decorated with flowers. Yet, the pious custom exists in many parts of the Orthodox world to decorate with flowers similar sepulchre on the 15th of August,. to place therein the icon of the Dormition of the Virgin and to chant her the "Lamentations" with a spirit of contrition and humility that reminds us of the mournful hours of Holy Friday. The same practice is usually carried out in many Orthodox monasteries, where the special piety of the Orthodox monks to the all-holy person of the Ever Virgin, to whom, at any rate, they have dedicated the entire Holy Mountain to be her own garden exclusively. But since this pious custom is not widely known among the multitudes of our faithful, it is only natural ~r some to be surprised and perhaps even scandalised when they see the Sepulchre of the Virgin. Especially since this custom started to appear even though sporadically, here in Australia, as for instance at the monastery of th e Transfiguration (Earlwood, N.S.W.), the necessity to ex plain certain essential points concerning this basic matter becomes even more imperative. The first impression of the faithful person as one enters the Church and sees for the first time the image of the body o f the Theotokos to be exposed for veneration within the magnificent flower-decorated sepulchre, is undoubtedly one of surprise and perplexity. One will rightly ask, why? Right; Christ is our Goq, and the Lamentations with the sepulchre is accepted with all theological justification not only for the veneration that is due to the all-holy body of the Lord, but also as an expression of worship for the awful wonder of both earth and heaven before the unheard of sight of a God wrapped in a shroud. Therefore it is natural that th e Church should praise and exalt such a new and unheard-of "burial" as God's extrem humility: Th ou 0 Christ the Life, was laid in the tomb, and armies of Angels were amazed, and they glorified Th ey condescension." howeve r, after all this one wonders: Can one justify a similar surprise at th e Dormition of the Virgin, so as to decorate the Epitaphios also for her and to chan t the Lamentations? Wasn't she human like us? Wasn't it natural for her to die and to be buried, just as all other creatures, since herself was not conceived without seed? Why give such emphas is on her Dormition? Why venerate worshipfully her dead body, thus placing it almost on the same level as the all-holy body of the God-man? At first sight these questions are both reasonable an d natural, and so they appear to be completely justified. Such thinking is permitted when one does not deepen into the mystery of Christ and the Virgin. Things become quite different when we remember the teaching of our Church relating to God's incarnatio n. The most fundamental element o f this teaching is that the Virgin conceived the Son of God without seed, namely without husband, in an extraordinary manner. The Symbol o f Faith epigrammatically says that God became man "from the Holy Spirit and of the Virgin Mary". With this fundamental truth in mind we must now ask with muc h respect and attention and with God's fear: In Christ's Epita'phios, what body do we cry fo r, praise and reverence? Surely not for a sinful body,' mortal like our bodies, since this would be idolatry and Arianism; nor again for the deified body of Christ, which, united inseparably with God the Word, was ascended into heavens and "sat at the right hand of the Father". During His Suffering and death Christ "did not suffer in His divinity", and only "bodily"was He found in the tomb. Therefore, the body which we bury and reverence in the Sepulchre of Christ, is the very same body of the Ever-Virgin Mary, the fl es h which she : loaned Him from her pure blood. From all above pious reflections, which of course are not philosophical theories or personal conjectures, but simple and unaffected conclusions from fundamental truths of our Church, two essential points, result, as practical lessons for Orthodox pietry and ' worship: (1) That since the body of Christ, which we reverence and praise at the Epitaphios, is none other than the very body of His Ever-Virgin Mother, then no theological or doctrinal reason prevents us from honouring also the all-pure body of the Virgin at her g lorious Dormition with the Epitaphios and the Lamentations. (2) That since the body of the Virgin passed beyond corruption, on account of the extraordinary birth from her of the Word of God, it was natural that it would not remain on earth and disinteg rate, as our ordin ary and sinful bodies do, but that it would enjoy a special honour on the part of Her Son and God. Therefore, the Church rightly believed always in the "translation" of the Theotokos, regardless of whether there was any need to formulate this truth officially and formally into a Synodical Decree. All this unspoken mystery, whicti extends not only in the life, but also in the Dormition of the Theotokos, was condensed by the Church hymnologically in the Apolytikion of the Dormition, which is unparallelled in theological conciseness and precision: "In giving birth, 0 Theotokos, thou hast retained thy virginity, and in falling asleep thou hast not forsaken the world. Thou who art the Mother of Life hast passed over into life, and by thy prayers thou dost deliver our souls from death.". + A.

7 From the Fathers of the Church "... -','1 SELECTED PASSAGES Chapter 48 "When you have prayed well expect some vntoward happenings and stand manfully ready to defend your gains. For from the beginning you were rnade for this.' to work and to watch. And so when you have wronght some work.do not let it go unguarded. If you fail to act in this way you shall profit nothing from 'lour prayer." This chapter has some very vital points concerning prayer. It starts with the phrase "when you have prayed well". Evagrius, and all the church Fathers for that matter, simply says "when you have prayed well", in a general way, without going into details of personal testimonies, that are so common in contemporary "charismatic." groups. Such details are a concern between God and the person who prays, Each case is distinct and personal in a way that cannot become the general rule for all. Such details of one's experience in prayer cannto be preached from the roof tops, buf can only be memtioned by a spiritual guide as a warning against one's downfall. In his book The Mystical Theology of the Eastern Church, Vladimir Lossky emphasises this point in the following words: "The individual experiences of the greatest mystics of the Orthodox Church more often han not remain unknown to us... The way of mystical union is nearly always a secret between God and the soul concerned, which is never confided to others unless, it may be, to a confessor or to a few disciples. What is published abroad is the fruit of this union: wisdom, understanding of the divine mysteries, expressing itself in theological or moral teaching or in advice for the edification of one's brethren. As to the inward and personal aspect of the mystical experience it remains hidden from the eyes of all". The second point deserving our attention in this chapter is that of spiritual warfare that follows prayer: Evagrius tells us to "expect some untoward happenings". It is Evagrius' conviction that one's "gains" in prayer - as he refers to them in this chapter - are nothing but the gift of God, to be received, accepted and defended. In patristic literature the devil is regarded as the one who tries to steal or plunder our gifts. The paradox of the spiritual life is that the more one regards prayer as God's gift and not one's own achievement, the more difficult it is for the devil to steal that gift. Man was created by God to pray, to receive God's gifts, to be in relationship with God. In Evagrius' words, "from the beginning you were made for this". Finally, Evagrius points out tow key dimensions of prayer: work and vigilance. Everything man does as work has its beginning and end in prayer, in man's relationship with other human persons and with God. But vigilance, too, - "watching", as Evagrius refers to it here, does not only have the negative meaning of "standing manfully ready to defend" God's gifts, but more especially bears the possitive meaning of eagerly expecting God's coming, not just as a future event but as an End realised even now. Chapter 49 "Every war fought between us and the impure spirits is engaged in for no other cause that that of spiritual prayer. This is an activity that is intolerable to them, they find it so hostile and oppressive. To us, on the other hand, it is both pleasant in the highest degree and spiritually profitable." Prayer is a living relationship with God, a continual dialogue with Him and a spiritual communion with the Creator. Man was created to live in such communion, but the aim of the devil is to distract him from such an activity of prayer. Every temptation from the devil has as its purpose to interrupt this continual communion with God, since our positive relationship with God is the very denial of the evil spirits. Evagrius stresses that prayer is not merely a duty to be carried out at set times of our life. On the contrary, prayer is a profitable activity, because it enables us to be in relationship with God and is in fact this very relationship. Furthermore, prayerisa pleasant activity, since, as our source of life, it is also a source of joy. With reference to the "pleasant" aspect of the activity of prayer, the following comments by a contemporary Orthodox theologian are very appropriate: "From its very beginning Christianity has been the proclamation of joy, of the only possible joy on earth. It rendered impossible all jou we usually think of as possible. But withing this impossibility, at the very bottom of this darkness, it announced and conveyed a new all-embracing joy, and with this joy it transformed the End into a Beginning. Without the proclamation of this joy Christianity is incomprehensible. It is only as joy that the Church was victorious in the world, and it lost the world when it lost that joy, and ceased to be a credible withness to it". Chapter 50 "Why do the demons wish to commit acts of gluttony, impurity, avarice, wrath, resentment and the other evel passions in us? Here is the reason -that the spirit in this way should become dull and cousequently rendered unfit to pray. For when man's irrational passions are triving he is not free to pray and to seek the work of God." The content of this chapter is plain and straight forward. The aim of the demons is to distract us from prayer by engaging us in acts of impurity, hatred and other evil passions. Three points become apparent. First, that a person who is passionate is unfit to pray. So if one wishes to truly pray, he must cleanse his heart from all impurity and all evil passions. Second, Evagrius speaks about "irrational passions", which prevent a man from true prayer. This means that there also exist "rational pas- 91

A "rational passion" leads to love of God with one's whole mind and heart. The third point that comes'from reading this chapter is that sin, in all its forms, is irrational and therefore contrary to our nature, as created by God. It is only in virtue that the human person is in his natural, ligical and rational state. Fr M.
