MESSAGE FROM FATHER JOHN HAYDEN HABY: Christ is in our midst and Happy New Year! With New Year s we think about New Year s resolutions. I am asking everyone to prayerfully consider where they are placing Christ and His Church in their priorities and purpose. I believe our community is at a crossroads. We must honestly reflect on the status quo and ask where we will be in the near and distant future. We must ask ourselves a fundamental question, is living out the Orthodox faith the center of our being? Is church something we just come to for worship and sacraments or do we view it as our way to serve God? Is our present commitment of our time, talent and treasure adequate to accomplish the calling of the church? How do we view our time, talent and treasure? Is it ours, to do as we please or is it God s, and just ours to manage? As a community we need to improve on our making Christ and His Church a more central part of our lives. Why should we make Christ and His Church a more central part of our lives? To participate in theosis; theosis is working out our salvation to become Christ like and experiencing the kingdom of heaven now. Becoming Christ like is a practice that can help shape our world and ourselves in such a way that we can experience God's grace, love and communion in the present. This puts the emphasis more on Christ and others and being about what is possible for us as humans now rather than later. It also shifts the tone from fear to the potential for experiencing joy. When we make Christ and His Church a more central part of our lives we give back to God. We are returning to God in thanksgiving for what He has done for us. God is never outdone in generosity. We are all managers in God s kingdom, and we have a responsibility to protect and grow God s gifts. Let us honestly reflect, are we willing to make Christ and His Church a more central part of our lives and are we willing to make the commitment and sacrifice as well as experience the blessings? I pray everyone had a Blessed Feast of the Nativity and I wish everyone a Happy New Year. Blessings Fr. John Hayden Haby 6
PASTORAL VISITION OF HIS EMINENCE METRPOLITAN ISAIH OF DENVER JANUARY 4-6, 2019 DETAILS OF THE ITINERARY WILL BE PUBLISHED WHEN FINALIZED
EPIPHANY DAY LUNCHEON HONORING HIS EMINENCE METROPOLITAN ISAIAH OF DENVER SUNDAY, JANUARY 6, 2019 Immediately following the Seashore Service. The Vasilopita Celebration will take place at this time. Sponsored by the Parish Council St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church 502 South Chaparral Street, Corpus Christi, Texas 78401
Αγία Θεοφάνεια 6 Ιανουαρίου Τα Αγία Θεοφάνεια είναι μία από τις αρχαιότερες εορτές της εκκλησίας μας η οποία θεσπίσθηκε το 2ο αιώνα μ.χ. και αναφέρεται στη φανέρωση της Αγίας Τριάδας κατά τη βάπτιση του Ιησού Χριστού. Η ιστορία της βάπτισης έχει ως εξής: Μετά από θεία εντολή ο Ιωάννης ο Πρόδρομος εγκατέλειψε την ερημική ζωή και ήλθε στον Ιορδάνη ποταμό όπου κήρυττε και βάπτιζε. Εκεί παρουσιάσθηκε κάποια ημέρα ο Ιησούς και ζήτησε να βαπτισθεί. Ο Ιωάννης, αν και το Άγιο Πνεύμα τον είχε πληροφορήσει ποιος ήταν εκείνος που του ζητούσε να βαπτισθεί, στην αρχή αρνείται να τον βαπτίσει ισχυριζόμενος ότι ο ίδιος έχει ανάγκη να βαπτισθεί από Εκείνον. Ο Ιησούς όμως του εξήγησε ότι αυτό ήταν το θέλημα του Θεού και τον έπεισε να τον βαπτίσει. Και τότε μπροστά στα έκπληκτα μάτια των θεατών διαδραματίσθηκε μία μοναδική και μεγαλειώδης σκηνή, όταν με την μορφή ενός περιστεριού κατήλθε το Άγιο Πνεύμα και κάθισε επάνω στο βαπτιζόμενο Ιησού, ενώ συγχρόνως ακούσθηκε από τον ουρανό η φωνή του Θεού η οποία έλεγε: «Ούτος εστίν ο Υιός μου ο αγαπητός, εν ω ευδόκησα» («Αυτός είναι ο αγαπημένος μου Υιός, αυτός είναι ο εκλεκτός μου»). Από τότε και το Βάπτισμα των χριστιανών, δεν είναι «εν ύδατι», όπως το βάπτισμα «μετανοίας» του Ιωάννη, αλλά «εν Πνεύματι Αγίω». Ο Κύριος με το να βαπτιστεί αγίασε το νερό, το έκανε νερό αγιασμού και συμφιλίωσης με το Θεό. Έτσι η Βάπτιση του Κυρίου άνοιξε τη θύρα του Μυστηρίου του Βαπτίσματος. Με την καθαρτική χάρη του αγίου Βαπτίσματος ο παλαιός αμαρτωλός άνθρωπος ανακαινίζεται και με την τήρηση των θείων εντολών γίνεται κληρονόμος της βασιλείας των ουρανών. http://www.saint.gr/1083/saint.aspx 910
Feast of the Theophany of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ January 6 Theophany is the Feast which reveals the Most Holy Trinity to the world through the Baptism of the Lord (Mt.3:13-17; Mark 1:9-11; Luke 3:21-22). God the Father spoke from Heaven about the Son, the Son was baptized by Saint John the Forerunner, and the Holy Spirit descended upon the Son in the form of a dove. From ancient times this Feast was called the Day of Illumination and the Feast of Lights, since God is Light and has appeared to illumine those who sat in darkness, and in the region of the shadow of death (Mt.4:16), and to save the fallen race of mankind by grace. In the ancient Church it was the custom to baptize catechumens at the Vespers of Theophany, so that Baptism also is revealed as the spiritual illumination of mankind. The origin of the Feast of Theophany goes back to Apostolic times, and it is mentioned in The Apostolic Constitutions (Book V:13). From the second century we have the testimony of Saint Clement of Alexandria concerning the celebration of the Baptism of the Lord, and the night vigil before this Feast. There is a third century dialogue about the services for Theophany between the holy martyr Hippolytus and Saint Gregory the Wonderworker. In the following centuries, from the fourth to ninth century, all the great Fathers of the Church: Gregory the Theologian, John Chrysostom, Ambrose of Milan, John of Damascus, commented on the Feast of Theophany. The monks Joseph the Studite, Theophanes and Byzantios composed much liturgical music for this Feast, which is sung at Orthodox services even today. Saint John of Damascus said that the Lord was baptized, not because He Himself had need for cleansing, but to bury human sin by water, to fulfill the Law, to reveal the mystery of the Holy Trinity, and finally, to sanctify the nature of water and to offer us the form and example of Baptism. On the Feast of the Baptism of Christ, the Holy Church proclaims our faith in the most sublime mystery, incomprehensible to human intellect, of one God in three Persons. It teaches us to confess and glorify the Holy Trinity, one in Essence and Undivided. It exposes and overthrows the errors of ancient teachings which attempted to explain the Creator of the world by reason, and in human terms. The Church shows the necessity of Baptism for believers in Christ, and it inspires us with a sense of deep gratitude for the illumination and purification of our sinful nature. The Church teaches that our salvation and cleansing from sin is possible only by the power of the grace of the Holy Spirit, therefore it is necessary to preserve worthily these gifts of the grace of holy Baptism, keeping clean this priceless garb, for As many as have been baptized into Christ, have put on Christ (Gal 3:27). On the day of Theophany, all foods are permitted, even if the Feast falls on a Wednesday or Friday. https://oca.org/saints/lives/2019/01/06/100106-feast-of-the-theophany-of-our-lord-and-savior-jesus-christ 10
