“So ought not this woman – being a

Satan has bound – think of it: for

Elder Arsenios Boca of Romania

When others insult you, berate you, St Dorotheos

wrongly accuse you or curse you If we do good because we fear Hell, we are merely servants.
instead of admonishing them If we do good to get a reward, we are merely paid employees.
or retaliating in a similar manner, If we do good for its own sake then we are loving Children
of God,
which is always of no benefit at all,
for a loving child obeys his Father’s wll –
it is far better for us not out of fear nor because he wants to be rewarded,
to pray for them! but in order to serve and to honor his Father -
to please him and give him joy
due to their mutual Love for each other.
This is how we should regard Charity –
for the Holy Virtue itself,
by participating in the difficulties of others,
as if they were members of our own body.
We should always serve others
as if we ourselves were enjoying the Fruits
of our ministrations.
We should always give to others
as if we ourselves were receiving.
This is True Charity (Love/Agape)
which is begotten through awareness.
Consequently, we will be worthy Spiritual Children
of our Heavenly Father
and Co-Heirs with Christ our Divine Saviour.

Brethren: Abraham had two sons - one
by a bondservant, one by a free
woman.
But he who was of the bondwoman was
born according to the flesh, while he
who was born of the free woman was
born through a Promise.
– one
from Mount Sinai, which gives birth
to bondage, being Hagar.
For Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and
corresponds to Jerusalem which is
now - in bondage with her children.
The Jerusalem Above is Free – being the
Mother of us all.
It is written: ‘Rejoice,you barren who
do not bear! Break forth and cry
you who do not travail!
“For the desolate has many more
children than she who has a
husband!’
TO ST LUKE 13 : 10 - 17
THE BOWED WOMAN ON THE SABBATH
At that time, our Lord was teaching in
one of the Synagogues on the
Sabbath.
And behold: there was a woman who
had a spirit of infirmity for eighteen
years, and was bent over and could
in no way raise herself.
Seeing her, Jesus called her to Him, and
said to Her: “Woman: you are
loosed from your infirmity.”
And He laid His Hands on her.
And immediately she was made
straight, and she Glorified God.
Indignately, the Ruler of the Synagogue
responded, for Jesus had Healed on
the Sabbath.
He said to the crowd: “There are six
days on which to work. On them
come and be Healed, and not on the
Sabbath Day!”
Answering him, the Lord said:
“Hypocrite! Does not each one of

Thy Peace to Thy Disciples after Thy

frightened by what they thought to

anxiety of their souls when Thou
showed them Thy Hands and Feet;
and yet they still doubted. But when
Thou partook of food with them,
reminding them of Thy preaching,
Thou opened their minds to
understand the Scriptures. And
Thou made the Eternal Covenant
with them, Blessed them and then
Ascended into Heaven. Wherefore,

...And they told about the things that
had happened on the road, and how
Jesus was known to them by the
breaking of the bread.
As they said these things, Jesus Himself
stood in the midst of them, and said
to them: “Peace to you!”
They were terrified and frightened, and
thought they had seen a spirit.
And He said to them: “Why are you
troubled? And why do doubts arise
in your hearts? Behold My Hands
and My Feet, that it is I, Myself.
Handle Me and see, for a spirit does
not have flesh and bones as you
can see I have.”
when He had said this, He showed
them His Hands and His Feet.
since they still did not believe
for Joy and Marvelling, He said to
them:“Have you any food here?”
gave Him a piece of broiled fish
and some honeycomb, and in their
presence He ate it.
which I spoke to you while I was
still with you, that all things must
be fulfilled which were written in
the Law of Moses and the Prophets
and the Psalms concerning Me.”
Then He opened their Understanding,
so that they might comprehend the
Scriptures.
And He said to them: “Thus it is
written, and thus it was necessary
for the Christ to suffer and to rise
from the dead the third day, and
that Repentance and Remission of
sins should be preached in His
Name to all Nations, beginning at
Jerusalem. And you are Witnesses
of these Things. Behold, I send the
Promise of My Father upon you; but
remain in the city of Jerusalem
until you are endued with Power
from on High.”
He led them out as far as Bethany, and
lifting up His Hands He Blessed
them.

Christ is Born: Glorify Him! Christ has
descended from Heaven: Receive
Him! Christ is on earth: Elevate Him!
O all the earth: sing to the Lord! Sing
praises in gladness, O ye people, for
He has been Glorified!
the Son Who was Begotten of the
Father without change before all
ages, and in the Last Times, without
seed, became Flesh of the Virgin: to
Christ our God let us cry aloud:
Thou hast raised up our horn! Holy
art Thou, O Lord!
Rod of the Root of Jesse, and Flower
that blossomed from his stem, O
Christ, Thou hast sprung from the
Virgin. From the Mountain
overshadowed by the Forest Thou
hast come, made Flesh from her that
knew not wedlock, O God Who art
not formed from matter. ✞ Glory to
Thy Power, O Lord!
As Thou art God of Peace and Father of
Mercies, Thou hast sent to us Thine
Angel of Great Counsel, granting us
Peace. So are we guided towards the
Light of the Knowledge of God, and,
watching by night, we Glorify Thee,
O Lover of mankind!
The sea monster spat forth Jonah as it
had received him - like a babe from
the womb - while the Word, having
dwelt in the Virgin and taken Flesh,
came forth from Her yet kept Her
uncorrupted. For being Himself not
subject to decay, He preserved His
Mother free from harm.
Scorning the impious Decree, the
Children brought up together in
Godliness feared not the threat of
fire - while standing in the midst of
the flames, they sang “O God of our
Fathers, Blessed art Thou!”
✞We Praise, we Bless and we Worship
the Lord!
The furnace - moist with Dew - was the
image and figure of a Wonder
beyond nature. For it burnt not the
Children whom it had received, even
as the Fire of the Godhead
consumed not the Virgin’s Womb
