PARISH LIFE
PASTORAL MESSAGE Dear Parishioners of our Beloved Assumption, Greetings in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! We are now more than half way through our journey of Great Lent and soon we will be commemorating together the passion of our Lord. It is easy for us to go through the motions and to not truly experience with Him the Crucifixion and Resurrection. The difference between just being present and truly being with Him is in how we understand our relationship with Christ. Is He an impersonal god whom we grew up being taught to glorify? Or is He our Father, or as we would say emphatically in Greek «ο δικός μας Πατέρας» (our own Father)? If He is our own Father : How would we react to His hanging on the cross? Would we merely be solemn or would our eyes be full of tears? How would we celebrate His resurrection? Would we come get the light and leave (or not come at all) or would we receive of His Body and Blood and celebrate with our family in Christ? These questions are not a reflection of our faith, but more of our presence. Are we going through the motions or are we truly focused as though this is our first time experiencing Holy Week. For we not only commemorate these blessed events, we relive them with Him. Let this be the year that we all relive His Passion together with Him. Let this be the Year!!! Praying that you have a Blessed Holy Week, I remain, In Christ s Love, Rev. Father Jon Boukis PROISTAMENOS

We will also study the lives of the Apostles. Bible Study is an opportunity for us to apply the Scriptures to our everyday lives. The Bible is the Good News that enriches our faith and deepens our understanding of every issue that we face. This can only be done through obtaining the mind of the Holy Fathers. Let the scripture come alive in your life today!!!

THE SATURDAY OF LAZARUS Celebrated April 7 Lazarus and his sisters Martha and Mary, the friends of the Lord Jesus, had given Him hospitality and served Him many times (Luke 10:38-4z; John 12:2-3). They were from Bethany, a village of Judea. This village is situated in the eastern parts by the foothills of the Mount of Olives, about two Roman miles from Jerusalem. When Lazarus - whose name is a Hellenized form of "Eleazar," which means "God has helped," became ill some days before the saving Passion, his sisters had this report taken to our Savior, Who was then in Galilee. Nonetheless, He tarried yet two more days until Lazarus died; then He said to His disciples, "Let us go into Judea that I might awake My friend who sleeps." By this, of course, He meant the deep sleep of death. On arriving at Bethany, He consoled the sisters of Lazarus, who was already four days dead. Jesus groaned in spirit and was troubled at the death of His beloved friend. He asked, "Where have ye laid his body?" and He wept over him. When He drew nigh to the tomb, He commanded that they remove the stone, and He lifted up His eyes, and giving thanks to God the Father, He cried out with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come forth." And he that had been dead four days came forth immediately, bound hand and foot with the grave clothes, and Jesus said to those standing there, "Loose him, and let him go." This is the supernatural wonder wrought by the Savior that we celebrate this day. According to an ancient tradition, it is said that Lazarus was thirty years old when the Lord raised him; then he lived another thirty years on Cyprus and there reposed in the Lord. It is furthermore related that after he was raised from the dead, he never laughed till the end of his life, but that once only, when he saw someone stealing a clay vessel, he smiled and said, "Clay stealing clay." His grave is situated in the city of Kition, having the inscription: "Lazarus the four days dead and friend of Christ." In 890 his sacred relics were transferred to Constantinople by Emperor Leo the Wise, at which time undoubtedly the Emperor composed his stichera for Vespers, "Wishing to behold the tomb of Lazarus..."

Το Σάββατο του Λαζάρου 7 Απριλίου Ο Λάζαρος είχε πατρίδα τη Βηθανία της Ιουδαίας και ήταν φίλος του Ιησού. Και μαζί με τις αδελφές του, πολλές φορές φιλοξένησαν και υπηρέτησαν τον Κύριο. Ο Λάζαρος λοιπόν, λίγες μέρες πρίν απο το Πάθος του Κυρίου, αρρώστησε και οι αδελφές του Μάρθα και Μαρία, έστειλαν να ειδοποιήσουν τον Ιησού, που έμενε τότε στη Γαλιλαία. Αλλ όταν έφθασε ο Ιησούς στην Ιουδαία, ο Λάζαρος ήδη είχε πεθάνει και ήταν θαμμένος τέσσερις ημέρες. Τότε ο Κύριος διέταξε να σηκώσουν την πέτρινα πλάκα που έφραζε τον τάφο και μετά απο προσευχή φώναξε δυνατά: «Λάζαρε δεύρο έξω». Ο τεσσάρων ημερών νεκρός Λάζαρος, αμέσως αναστήθηκε και σηκώθηκε τυλιγμένος στα σάβανα. Αυτό το υπερφυές θαύμα λοιπόν, γιορτάζουμε την ημέρα αυτή. Λέγεται, ότι ο Λάζαρος ήταν τότε 30 χρονών και αφού έζησε άλλα 30 χρόνια, τέλειωσε την επίγεια ζωή του στην Κύπρο το έτος 63. Το 890, ο αυτοκράτορας Λέων ο Σοφός, μετακόμισε το ιερό λείψανο του Λαζάρου στην Κωνσταντινούπολη. Απολυτίκιον του Λαζάρου Την κοινήν ανάστασιν προ του σου πάθους πιστούμενος, εκ νεκρών ήγειρας τον Λάζαρον Χριστέ ο Θεός όθεν και ημείς ως οι παίδες, τα της νίκης σύμβολα φέροντες, σοι τω νικητή του θανάτου βοώμεν Ωσαννά εν τοις υψίστοις, ευλογημένος ο ερχόμενος, εν ονόματι Κυρίου.
