ALL SAINTS SUNDAY


Our Holy Church Fathers decreed the Commemoration of the Feast of All Saints
after the Descent of the Life-giving All-Holy Spirit on Pentecost Sunday, showing
in a certain way that the Descent of the All-Holy Spirit acted through the Holy
Apostles by Sanctifying them and making them wise human beings who are
taken from our mortal clay.
Also, for the completion of the fallen angelic order, Restoring them - and through
Christ, sending them to God - some by the Witness of their Holy Martyrdom and
blood, others by their Virtuous Life in Christ.
Furthermore, by the Power and Energy of the Holy Spirit, through Christ and
according to the Will of God the Father, all things beyond nature are achieved
by extraordinary Faithful Disciples of Christ.
For the Holy Spirit descends in the form of Heavenly, Uncreated Fire, Whose
natural momentum is upwards - while our mortal clay has the natural
inclination downwards, but is enabled to ascend on High as we are added to
and Deified by God the Word, Who has taken His Rightful Position, being
seated at the right Hand of God the Fathers Glory.
Christ has revealed His Works of Reconciliation and the True Purpose of His
Incarnation and His Loving, Compassionate Dispensation (Economia) to us.
Therefore He draws all those who were rejected before, to Union and
Friendship with God according to the Divine Promise.
He brings those who were outstandingly well pleasing to God as an Offering to His
Heavenly Father from all the Nations - like First Fruits - which is one reason for
the Commemoration of All Saints.
A second reason is because many people, although achieving extraordinary
Virtues, are often unidentified - yet due to their Holy Struggles and Lifestyle
they have achieved great honour in Gods Sight.
There have been many millions of Righteous souls who were good, Faithful
Disciples of Christ who lived throughout the world - throughout the ages - who
have not been recognised or honoured as Saints.
Consequently, our Holy Church Fathers have ordained the Feast of All Saints,
thereby honouring all those Saints who are unknown to us as well as those
known by name and in whom the Holy Spirit has dwelt, through whom He has
operated and whom He has Sanctified and Deified.
A third reason is because it is necessary for all the Saints and Holy Martyrs who
are usually Commemorated individually, day by day, to be gathered together
on one great Feast Day a Synaxis - having all Struggled so long, so
courageously and so Faithfully for their Love and Devotion to Almighty God.
They have all run the Great Race of Divine Truth and Faith in the same Holy
Stadium of Virtue, and they were thus all fittingly Crowned as Victorious
Servants of the One, True and Living God, having nurtured and sustained His
Holy Church and becoming worthy Holy Citizens of His Eternal, Heavenly
Kingdom.
All these innumerable millions of Holy Saints and Martyrs, by their Good Example,
encourage us and guide us so that we too may accomplish the same Spiritual
Struggles in their diverse and various forms, to a greater or lesser degree
each according to our own personal efforts, dedication and devotion to God.
For all these Saints from every age, the revered and wise Emperor Leo erected a
vast, very beautiful church, which is situated very near to the Holy Church of
the Holy Apostles of Christ, in the great city of Constantinople. Having built it
with the idea of consecrating it in honour of his first wife, Empress Theophano,
who had been exceptionally Obedient and Faithful to God, Emperor Leo could
not get the approval of the Holy Church until he dedicated it in honour of All

we profess to Love God and His creatures, we cannot wish for anyone to be left
out of His Divine Kingdom of Love and all Goodness and Blessings.
Christ Judges by discerning our heart and soul, and not by examining our deeds.
So also the Apostles were shaped to exercise Spiritual Judgement concerning
Faith, and in rebuking error with Virtue.
Good deeds alone cannot gain us Divine Blessings unless our heart and soul is
pure, as good and faithful as our deeds and vice versa.
The Apostles will not Judge with Earthly judgement but by the Witness of their own
Lives in Christ.
Since Gods Divine and Holy Kingdom began with the Resurrection of Christ, the
Authority of Judgement has already been granted to the Holy Apostles and
their worthy Successors in the Journey of His Holy Church on Earth.
Thus the Holy Mystery of Confession whereby Repentant sinners are forgiven their
sins is truly by means of Divine Authority bestowed upon the Apostles and those
of the unbroken Apostolic Succession throughout the ages by Almighty God.
Through the Holy Mystery of Confession all our Repented and Confesses sins are
completely removed from the pages of our Book of Life wherein every word,
thought and deed is recorded by our Holy Guardian Angel who defends us
against the accusations of the demons after our physical death, thereby
assisting us towards Eternal Life with God both in this life and immediately
after our Repose.
All our unrepented sins are also gleefully recorded by demons who will shrilly and
loudly accuse us and try to claim our soul for Eternal Condemnation and
Spiritual Death in Outer Darkness (as Christ said) which is extreme and
permanent Eternal Exile from God and all His Goodness, Light and Love.
Whatever good we fulfil in this temporary life due to our Love of God and our
fellow mankind, brings us abundant Blessings and helps us to make good
Spiritual Progress toward that Blessed, Blissful Eternal Life in Christ.
God is not only Just but also Greatly Merciful and Loving, and thus He grants to
even the very last Repentant sinner His Great Blessings.
The very last Repentant sinner will receive as many Blessings and Love as the first
soul to enter Eternal Life with God.
We are all equal before the Lord our God, but it is entirely up to our own efforts and
decisions the choices of our own free will whether we will Live Eternally in
the Very Presence or Sight and Love of Almighty God, or whether we decide to
reject Him and all His Abundant, Infinite Love and Goodness.
We cannot blame anyone else for the decisions we make now that will Eternally
affect our immortal soul!!
Therefore, as long as we draw breath in this short lifespan, let us ceaselessly seek
out and eradicate our sins through Repentance-Confession, and the partaking
of all the necessary Holy Mysteries that God has so generously granted us for
our Spiritual Renewal that returns us to the state in which He so Lovingly
created us.

EXPLANATORY

NOTES

By taking up our Crosses and following Christ our Lord and Saviour, we must
always ensure that nothing prevents us with absolute Humility and
Obedience from being His Faithful Disciples.
True and Faithful Disciples of Christ are always ready to obey God even if
necessity calls for the sacrifice of relationships that are Spiritually Destructive,
Deceptive or Misleading.
Holy Martyrdom for the sake of our Faith in our Triune, Almighty God, is a fulfilment
of the Prophecy of Michah 7: 5-7: ... do not trust in friends, nor put your hope
in those who govern. Beware of your Wife and do not tell her anything. For a
Son will dishonour his Father, a Daughter will rise up against her Mother, a
Daughter-in-law against her Mother-in-law! A mans enemies are all the
people of his own house, but I look to the Lord...
Our Lord Jesus Christ, being the Divine and thus All Knowing Son of God, knows
everything that His Faithful Disciples and Apostles would have to endure in the
time to come, and throughout all the ages.
Nevertheless, our Lord Encourages us through all our difficulties and Spiritual
Struggles.
Even if we are not confronted by terrifying Martyrdom, we are constantly
threatened by destructive, fatal ungodliness and Spiritual Adversity.
We must do everything according to our Love of God and His Eternal Kingdom of
Love.
We must not follow the destructive norms of social life but rather take up our Cross
and faithfully follow in His Footsteps, for He is our only True Divine Judge and
Master.
We must never concern ourselves with the sins of others and by means of our own
healthy, happy and peaceful Life in Christ, show them the Way of Divine
Agape.
The dull and stubbornly ignorant will remain in Spiritual Darkness through their
own choices but there are some who will follow us into the Divine Light and Life
in Christ, whom we must teach and guide correctly and always with
unconditional Love Agape.
The Spiritually Stubborn and Dead will always have excuses for their disobedience
and Spiritual Rebellion against God, and they will try to prevent others from
obeying and fulfilling Gods Divine Will, Commandments and Teachings by
their words, their deeds and/or their attitudes (thoughts).
These are the type of sinners whom our Lord cautions us to ignore although we
must continue to pray for their Spiritual Enlightenment and Deliverance, for, if

Saints throughout time and throughout the world: Since Theophano is a


Saint, let her be numbered with the rest!
We are thus Commemorating every soul whom the Holy Spirit has Sanctified: the
Nine Orders of Heavenly Hosts; the Ancient Ancestors and Patriarchs; the
Prophets and Holy Apostles; the Martyrs and Hierarchs; the Hieromartyrs and
Ascetic Martyrs; the Ascetics and the Just and all the Choirs and Clouds of Holy
Witnesses - of all Holy Men, Women and Children and all anonymous Saints
throughout all time.
And before all, in all and with all, the Holiest Saint of Saints - the Most Holy and
quite Incomparably Mightier than the Angelic Orders - our Lady and
Sovereign, Theotokos and Ever Virgin Mary, who, together with All Saints,
Intercedes on our behalf with Christ our Saviour, for His Great Mercy on our
immortal soul.

According to the New Covenant that God has granted us, we can Ascend to that
Heaven Place through the correct, Faithful Worship, Prayer and Life in Christ.
Furthermore, we are able to experience this Heavenly Dimension fundamentally in
the Divine Liturgy.
We are able to ascend to that Heavenly State where we are surrounded by a Great
Cloud of Witnesses. (The Heavenly Hosts and all the Saints, Martyrs and
Righteous in Heaven)
Heaven is not a physical place but a Spiritual Condition that is in the Very Presence
of Almighty God, His Heavenly Hosts (all His Angels) and the spirits of Just
mankind made Perfect (the Saints, Martyrs and Righteous)
It is in this Spiritual Mystery that the Holy Communion of Saints is established in the
New Covenant of God.
The Cloud of Witnesses includes not only the Old Covenant Saints but all the Saints,
Martyrs and Righteous of our Lord from all the ages, and forever.
All the Holy Martyrs and Saints fulfilled their Sacred Tasks, thereby achieving
Spiritual Perfection or Theosis which shows us that we, too, can do so if we
choose!!
We must persevere by
 Ceaseless Repentance getting rid of our sins, the weight of which prevents
us from hearing, heeding and fulfilling all Divine Truth
 Setting the Heavenly City as our ultimate Destination by running the Race
of Faith.
 Steadfastly focussing on our Lord Jesus Christ and with Humility and
Obedience, following in His Footsteps.
The Good Race is not a sprint but a Spiritual Marathon of Endurance, which ends
when we enter Eternity ... the Age to come. (1 Corinthians 9: 24-27)
Our Lord Jesus Christ is both the Divine Author - the Initiator and the Finisher the
Perfector of our Faith.
His Joy was to fulfil God the Fathers Divine Will in all things.
He endured the Cross because He had voluntarily accepted Humiliation and Death.
Consequently, we too, should imitate and follow His Determination and
Perseverance striving ceaselessly to fulfil the Will of God the Father, through
Christ, His Eternal Word and Only Begotten Son, by the Power and Energy of
God the Holy Spirit.

NOTES

By living with Almighty God, by obeying all His Commandments and Teachings,
and by Loving Him with all ones being, anything and everything becomes
possible for us human beings.
Anything and everything becomes possible because God, through His infinite
Divine Love for all mankind, grants us the necessary Spiritual Strength and
abilities to endure all difficulties even the inhumane, hideous tortures that are
inflicted by others as experienced by the Martyrdom of innumerable Saints and
Holy Martyrs throughout the ages which continues even in these days!
The unsurpassed Spiritual Strength and depth of Faith of the Saints is to be
marvelled at and imitated by us both in the good times and in the worst of
times.
Nothing forced them from their profound Faith in and Love of Almighty God not
even the contrived promises of leniency in the midst of such horrific torture
could persuade them to renounce the One, True, Living and Almighty God.
The extraordinary Strength to endure the cruelties of mankind and the
consequences of this fallen Spiritually Darkened world, is exclusively due to
Divine Grace and Mercy, which is based upon our complete Trust/Faith in God,
Who provides us with everything necessary for our Spiritual Welfare and
Progress.
God is Glorified through the Sufferings of His Beloved Faithful Disciples who
depend entirely on Him to Deliver us from all the machinations of the evil one.
Only through the Power, Energy, Mercy and Grace of Almighty God our Triune
God is anything and everything possible.
The Incarnation of the Eternal, Only Begotten Word and Son of God, our Lord Jesus
Christ and all that He accomplished for our Eternal Benefit also
Redeemed/Saved the Old Covenant Saints, who by amazing Faith, participated
in His Glorious Resurrection and Eternal Kingdom.
This particular Sacred Lesson is a progressive discourse whereby St Paul implores
us all to seek first Gods Eternal Kingdom. This means that we should put our
quest for ceaseless Repentance, which leads to Everlasting Life in Gods
Heavenly Kingdom, before anything else in this short, temporary, preparatory
life.

Paradise, Pride of Virgins: from
Thee God was Incarnate and He
Who is our God before the Ages

RESURRECTION

The

Myrrh-bearing Women standing at


the Tomb of the Giver of Life, were
seeking the Immortal Master among
the dead: and when they received the
Good Tidings of Joy from the Angel,
they revealed to the Apostles that
Christ had Risen, granting the world
His Great Mercy.
