THE SOURCE January 201 2015 Issue # 1-15 HOL HOLY TRINITY RINITY GREEK REEK ORTHODOX RTHODOX CATHEDRA CATHEDRAL THEDRAL CAMP HILL, ILL, PA Agiasmo & The Sanctification of The Family: Not For Brick & Mortar Alone By Fr. Kosta Petrogeorge One of the many wonderful and profound and wonderful traditions of our Orthodox Church is the house blessing, or Agiasmo, associated with the January great feast of Epiphany. It is hoped that as many family members as possible be present when the priest comes to visit the homes of the faithful. This grants the priest the opportunity to see the family members in their usual and very personal atmosphere; and it let s the family members realize themselves as a family of God by receiving the traditional blessing of the Papa. I want to reflect deeper on the vital importance of this family gathering, and what parents can do to stimulate this, even in the face of disintegration. During the agiasmo prayers the priest reads the names of each family member, and the family is thus further united to each other, to the priest, and to God. For me personally, perhaps one of the most important moments of the event is the slight moment of quiet that I usually offer before the words of the prayer. Truly, this is a blessing of persons and hearts, as the prayer clearly imply, Bless us all, as in the bowing of our heads we make the sign of servitude. Nowhere in the service is there actually a mention of the blessing of the house, or brick & mortar (although that is surely assumed as well considering the dramatic action of sprinkling that is a key element of the agiasmo). The family agiasmo should thus be a sacred task that is intentionally communicated and planned ahead of time by parents to their family members, in each household. Otherwise, family members can easily get distracted with other events and tasks that preempt the time that the priest comes to visit the family for the house-blessing. I remember once visiting a family mid-day when I was told that the teenage member of the family was too tired to get up to join in the prayers because he had stayed up late the previous night (and this seemed to be acceptable!). Another time I was instructed where I could find the hidden key which would allow me to enter into a house for an agiasmo, because it was doubtful that any family members could commit to being present at the time of visitation. These are rather extreme examples of the failure to gather as a family. But the challenge of having as many family members present as reasonably possible applies to many of us. This pull towards physical fragmentation can be understood through a consideration of how our contemporary culture promotes isolation [For references of the below, please see me]. +++++++++++

THE SOURCE JANUARY 2015 Page 2 Across the industrialized world, watching screen media is the main pastime of children. Over the course of childhood, children spend more time watching TV than they spend in school. When including computer games, Internet and DVDs, by the age of seven years, a child born today will have spent one full year of 24hr days watching screen media. What is one dynamic way that parents can deal with this? By explaining to their children the potential value of the fruit that can be gained by investing rather, in creative or educational endeavors; as well as by encouraging, in turn, their children to be instrumental voices in culture. Arlen Pellicane shares this: I have a 5 th grader, all of his friends have tablets & play video games, & they tease him, how can you do it, how can you not watch TV and not know these shows & video games (saying this as if they feel sorry for him). He turns it around by saying to his friends, I feel sorry for you! You don t read these books, and you don t read these great historical figures (and he lists his favorite resources). In sharp contrast to this experience, I heard about a senior in high school who had his graduation party at his house, and everyone was there, his friends & his family. And after 10-minutes he went upstairs in his room to play video games, and they couldn t coax him down. And this is a senior, and this is his graduation party, and he lasted 10-minutes and went up to his room. And everyone ended up going home, and that was that. And as a parent, you hear that, and think, I don t want my senior in high-school to have that. And that s why we want to put these things in place when they re younger. But what can parents do if they see that they have already failed to prepare their children for appropriate launching? What about the mom and dad who have that 16-17 year old that is spending an inordinate amount of time playing video games, it s where they got their adrenaline rush, for many years perhaps; it just went unnoticed or not dealt with? The child that spends a lot of time on the screen during those teenage years, when they get to be about twenty: they re still going to be playing video game, they don t want to go to work, they want to be doing something they enjoy, something exciting. Here they are, twenty-five, and they still are not responsible. And so, adolescence is prolonged. What can you do now? I appreciate the insight of Dr. Gary Smalley: I think one thing you can do is to apologize to the child. Because if a child is going to learn to be social, they have got to learn to apologize for their failures. Well, here s a place, where the parents can apologize to that 16 year old, and say: Ya know, I have been giving a lot of thought to this, and mom and I have talked a lot about it. And we feel like we ve failed you, in this area. That we have just had no guidelines for you in terms of the time you spend on the Internet (and the screen, or whatever). And we realize we ve done you a dis-service. And we re weeping about it; we re sad about it. And I want to ask you if you ll forgive us for this; and if we can talk about where we go from here. I imagine that most 16 year olds will wake up and listen to a parent who s apologizing for an area in which they failed the child. Many times this will lead to an opening of new dialogue. The important thing then is to establish reasonable and healthy boundaries that include specific time-management & goal-oriented parameters. For example, when your daily two hour study is completed then you can use 30 minutes of your free time for what you think will be helpful. This shows the way to place first things first, and yet offers some balance as well. Within the multitude of events and tasks that you will promote for your household unity in the New Year, I hope that you will begin with the traditional Agiasmo house blessing! +Fr. Kosta Petrogeorge

This customer imitates the woman who was healed by touching the hem of Christ s robe. Since the priest has a unique role as an icon of Christ, touching his robe is symbolic of reaching out to Christ for healing and asking that our personal petitions be carried to the altar. When touching the hem of the priest s phelonion, one should be careful not to step in front of the procession, to pull or tug on the garment, or to push anyone away.

THE SOURCE JANUARY 2015 Page 5 Dear Parishioners - A NOTE FROM THE PARISH COUNCIL I hope you had a Merry Christmas and a restful holiday with your families. The New Year always brings with it a time of reflection and a chance to re-evaluate life s journey. Are we the type of person we want to be? Are we meeting our goals? Are we healthy? What are our relationships like? After reflecting, it s common for us to then declare some form of New Year s Resolutions to set us on a new path for the upcoming year. I hope your reflection will include your spiritual life and that in your New Year s Resolutions, you ll consider the following: To regularly attend Divine Liturgy, on time To fully immerse yourself in the liturgy, using all of your senses To make time for prayer To participate in the organizations and missions of our Church To actively encourage the spiritual life of your (extended) family To set an example and be an inspiration to others THROUGH your presence and your attitude. Show how given all of our busy lives, that you can still time find to be present in the life of our church. To enjoy Church life and be happy in Church work I wish all of you a Happy New Year, filled with prosperity, peace, good health and continued spiritual growth. George J.

Philoptochos Presents Community Vasilopita Cutting (To Benefit St. Basil s Academy) On this Sunday at the end of Liturgy The history of the tradition of Vasilopita stems back to the fourth century when St. Basil, Bishop of Cappadocia, desired to distribute money to the poor. Not wanting to seem partial to any one family, St. Basil sought out some women to bake sweet bread into which the money was baked. The bread was then cut, and the money was found and kept by the needy. Today, finding the coin has come to signify a blessing. This custom is especially inviting to the children who love to find the money in the "Vasilopita." We can all participate in this age old custom; keeping in mind that customs such as this help the people of God keep their faith alive and real; and their sense of "Church" vibrant and important! -Monday 5 th Eve of the Theophany of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ *8:30am Great Hours *9:30am Vesperal Liturgy of St. Basil & Blessing of Waters -Tuesday 6 th Divine Liturgy of St. Basil: Great Feast of The Theophany of our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ *8:45am Orthros, 10:00am Divine Liturgy & second Blessing of Waters. -Monday 7 th Synaxis of John the Baptist *8:30am Orthros, 9:30am Divine Liturgy -Saturday 10 th : Chambersburg: 9:00 Divine Liturgy

THE SOURCE JANUARY 2015 Page 14 SATURDAY OF SOULS - February 14, 21, 28 The Orthodox Church has designated certain days of the year for special prayer services for the dead: The Saturday before Meat Fare Week and Cheese Fare Week and the Saturday before the first Sunday in Lent, February 14, 21, 28. The Saturday prior to Pentecost, May 30, is also a Saturday of Souls. On these days, the Church remembers all the saints and our deceased loved ones. Our Church prays for all the dead to express their faith that all who have fallen asleep in the Lord live in the Lord. Whether on earth or in heaven, the Church is a single family, one body in Christ. Death changes the location, but it cannot sever the bond of love. On Memorial Saturdays, the liturgical hymns pray universally for all of the departed. "With the saints, give rest Oh Lord to the souls of your servants, where there is no pain or suffering, but life everlasting." May their memory be eternal!

U.S. POSTAGE PAID Harrisburg, PA Permit No. 112 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ADVERTISING IN THE SOURCE In an effort to contain printing costs for monthly newsletters, many churches have turned to paid advertisements in their publications. Parish Council has agreed to adopt this funding source for our monthly publication. Doing this would help lessen and possibly erase the expense of publishing the Source. We now have availability for two pages of paid ads in our monthly Source. The ad price will represent a year of advertising or 11 issues as we combine the June and July Source into one issue. Ads are sold by the block. There will be room for 24 ads or blocks per page. You may purchase more than one block for increased space and presentation. The cost of one ad block is $125 per year, and subsequent blocks would be an additional $100 per block. For example, a business card ad would equal two blocks and would cost $225. Camera ready ads are appreciated but not required. Please help us promote this program. If you own or work for a business that may be interested in advertising in our Source which is sent out to over 600 families, please contact Mary in the church office. If you know of a business that may be a potential advertiser, please pass on a contact and phone number. Examples of businesses that may be interested in advertising could be Greek bands, importers, baptismal supplies/clothing stores, and jewelers specializing in crosses. Other possibilities could be lawyers, accountants, real estate agents, etc. The only ads we cannot accept are ones pertaining to credit cards, travel, or insurance. Please contact the church office as soon as possible if interested in this program.
