POST Pastor’s Message by Fr. Nathan Preston

June 2015

Volume XI, Issue 6

2009

Volume V, I ssue 6

Turning to what needs to be done:

• We would like a representative to the All American Council of

the OCA this July in Atlanta, Ga. (if you want to go speak to

Father).

• Delegates are needed for our Diocese Assembly in September

in Worcester, MA. The Worcester Church is also celebrating 100

years that same weekend. Please see me or Father Nathan if you

are interested in going.

• Preliminary discussion by the Council will take place for a

project of “Beautification of the Church Temple” looking toward

our 75th anniversary.

• The Council is updating the policy on the purchase of cemetery

plots at Mt. Tomori.

More will need to be done. But now lets enjoy the turn to

summer.

Don’t forget God this summer ….He doesn’t forget you.

Many years ago, I heard the prayer/poem below while I was

visiting a monastery in Illinois. I was struck by the beauty of

these words yet also their challenge, their demand to be taken

seriously and struggled with. The author, St. Nikolai, is one of

our modern holy fathers. He lived and knew life in Europe, the

trials of war and instability of Church and nation, but

ministered and ended life here in our own country. He taught

at our seminaries, trained our priests, sheltered and guided

our Orthodox people. I have wanted for a long time to share

this particular work of his pen, but it is a little bit long to print

onto a card and distribute. Please read it at least a couple

times. Perhaps, learn to pray with some of these words and

find peace in them. –Fr. Nathan

Bless my enemies, O Lord. Even I bless them and do not curse

them.

Enemies have driven me into Your embrace more than friends

have. Friends have bound me to earth, enemies have loosed

me from earth and have demolished all my aspirations in the

world.

extraneous inhabitant of the world. Just as a hunted animal

finds safer shelter than an un-hunted animal, so have I,

persecuted by enemies, found the safest sanctuary, having

ensconced myself beneath Your tabernacle, where neither

friends nor enemies can slay my soul. Bless my enemies, O

Lord. Even I bless them and do not curse them. They, rather than I, have confessed my sins before the world. They have flagellated me, whenever I have hesitated to flagellate myself. They have tormented me, whenever I have tried to flee torments. They have scolded me, whenever I have flattered myself. They have spat upon me, whenever I have filled myself with arrogance. Bless my enemies, O Lord. Even I bless them and do not curse them. Whenever I have made myself wise, they have called me foolish. Whenever I have made myself mighty, they have mocked me as though I were a dwarf.

President’s Message by Jim Liolin

June is a turning month. We turn from the winter and spring activities

plan our summer fun. So too the living Church turns from what was

done to what needs to be done.

The Church is turning from the season of Pascha back into the regular

year. Much of the focus of these last couple months has been on Holy

Week and Easter; now we turn to be “normal” again and have the

freedom to move to the organization of particular projects.

Turning from what was done:

• With Father’s leadership, pamphlets were prepared on Marriage,

Baptism, Memorials, they outline our obligations to those services and

Church.

• The Natural Church Growth committee helped initiate a social /

religious discussion group which has been well accepted. Two Adult

Study groups met one in early May and was well received. Another is

being organized for the summer in NJ.

• The Sunday School is being guided by a steering committee and with

several new tiny tots they’re dealing with a little growing pains.

pains. =============pains.

Enemies have made me a stranger in worldly realms and

an extraneous inhabitant of the world. Just as a hunted

animal finds safer shelter than an un-hunted animal, so

have I, persecuted by enemies, found the safest

sanctuary, having ensconced myself beneath Your

tabernacle, where neither friends nor enemies can slay my

soul. Bless my enemies, O Lord. Even I bless them and do

not curse them.

They, rather than I, have confessed my sins before the

world.

They have flagellated me, whenever I have hesitated to

flagellate myself.

KENDI SHQIP (The Albanian Corner)

by A. Llupa Qershor, 2015

Këtë muaj po japim një pjesë nga libri

“Adhurimi”, vëllimi II nga Thomas Hopko mbi

“Rushajet”

….Në Dhjatën e Re të Mesias, ngjarja e

Pashkës merr kuptimin e kremtimit të vdekjes dhe

ngjalljes së Krishtit, “eksodi” i njerzve prej kësaj bote

mëkatare në Mbretërinë e Perëndisë. Por, gjithashtu,

festa e Rushajave (Pesëdhjetorja – Pentakostja) është

përmbushur dhe rinuar me ardhjen e “ligjit të ri”,

zbritjes së Shpirtit të Shenjtë mbi nxënësit e Krishtit.

“…Kur erdhi dita e Rushajeve, ata ishin të gjithë

bashkë, në një mendje të vetme, në të njëjtin vend.

Dhe befas nga qielli erdhi një ushtimë, si ajo e një

erë që fryn furishëm dhe e mbushi gjithë shtëpinë ku

ata po rrinin. Dhe u dukën mbi ata gjuhë si prej

zjarri, të cilat ndaheshin dhe qëndronin mbi secilin

prej tyre. Dhe u mbushën të gjithë me Shpirtin e

Shenjtë…”

Shpirti i Shenjtë, të cilin Krishti u kishte

premtuar nxënësve të tij, erdhi ditën e Rushajeve.

Apostujt morën “fuqi prej së larti” dhe filluan të

predikonin dhe filluan të jepnin dëshmi për Jezusin si

Krishtin e ngjallur, Mbretin dhe Zotin.

Traditcionalisht, ky moment është quajtur Ditëlindja

e Kishes”.

Në shërbesat liturgjike të festës së Rushajeve,

ardhja e Shpirtit të Shenjtë kremtohet bashkë me

zbulesën e plotë të Trinisë Hyjnore: Atit, Birit dhe

Shpirtit të Shenjtë. Plotësia e Hyjnisë u shfaq në

ardhjen e Shpirtit tek njerzit dhe himnet e Kishës e

kremtojnë këtë shfaqje si veprën finale të

vetzbulesës dhe vetadhurimit të Perëndisë në botën e

krijuar prej Tij. Për këtë arsye, e djela e Rushajeve në

Traditën Orthodokse është quajtur gjithashtu Dita e

DAUGHTERS’ CORNER By Linda Foundos

Our Daughters’ luncheon on May 3rd was

delightful! Everyone enjoyed a delicious feast at the

Greek Family Kitchen & had a great time. We look

forward to next time. Some great suggestions were

made for future activities! Please come and share

your ideas with us for activities or fundraising.

Welcome back to all of our “snow birds” that

have returned from Florida, escaping the brutal

winter! We’re glad you’re back. You were missed.

Our sincere congratulations to all of our

graduates!! Our youth is our future and a precious

part of our community. We’re so proud of them and

are thrilled to hear of all their wonderful

accomplishments.

We wish all of the fathers a very Happy

Fathers’ Day!!! You are very much loved and

appreciated. You deserve to be celebrated!

Have a wonderful summer wherever your

plans find you! Enjoy it, and make some special

memories! Don’t forget to keep God in your

plans.

During the course of the Apostles’ Fast, this year

from June 8 to 28, brief prayer services will be

offered each Friday night. At seven in the evening on

the 12th, 19th, and 26th, we will chant the Akathist to

the Holy Spirit, a series of joyful prayers lasting

about half an hour. In this season of moderate

fasting, we are asked to remember those first

missionaries of our Christian faith, the students and

friends of Christ Himself. Through their work and

their bravery, they spread the Gospel throughout all

the world taking courage and comfort from the Holy

Spirit. So we will be reminded also to live with such

boldness, confident that God provides for us, that

God stands beside and watches over us, and that

we, however unworthy we may feel, are called to be

instruments of His work.

New York Jewish Community Honors the Albanian Besa of World War II

On May 8, Fr. Nathan Preston was a guest at the Friday evening Shabbat service at B’nai Jeshurun, one of Manhattan’s most storied

synagogues. Albanian religious leaders and delegates of the Albanian diplomatic corps were honored by the assembled congregation as

they recalled that great besa, which had been upheld during the Second World War and its preservation of thousands of Jewish lives by

this trust. Rabbi Rolando Matalon urged the faithful of his community to make this story of oppression, bravery, and faith known more

widely throughout the world. At the close of prayer, His Excellency, President of the Albanian Republic Bujar Nishani, addressed the

congregation. He noted the trials of faith shared by the Jewish and Albanian peoples, trials of suspicion and persecution, yet trials

surmounted by devotion and fraternal compassion and care. The president was then presented with the gift of a mezuzah, the prayer

scroll that blesses the entrance of the homes of the faithful. This gift was made to the Albanian people by an heir of the besa, whose

grandmother and thirteen relatives had been preserved from hatred and destruction by the refuge of that nation.

PASTOR’S MESSAGE – Continued from Page 1

They have tormented me, whenever I have tried to flee torments.

They have scolded me, whenever I have flattered myself. They have spat upon me, whenever I have filled myself with arrogance.

Bless my enemies, O Lord. Even I bless them and do not curse them.

Whenever I have made myself wise, they have called me foolish.

Whenever I have made myself mighty, they have mocked me as though I were a dwarf.

Whenever I have wanted to lead people, they have shoved me into the background.

Whenever I have rushed to enrich myself, they have prevented me with an iron hand.

Whenever I thought that I would sleep peacefully, they have wakened me from sleep.

Whenever I have tried to build a home for a long and tranquil life, they have demolished it and driven me out.

Truly, enemies have cut me loose from the world and have stretched out my hands to the hem of Your garment.

Bless my enemies, O Lord. Even I bless them and do not curse them.

Bless them and multiply them; multiply them and make them even more bitterly against me—

so that my fleeing to You may have no return; so that all hope in men may be scattered like cobwebs; so that absolute serenity may begin to

reign in my soul;

so that my heart may become the grave of my two evils twins: arrogance and anger;

so that I might amass all my treasure in heaven;

ah, so that I may for once be freed from self-deception, which has entangled me in the dreadful web of illusory life.

Enemies have taught me to know—what hardly anyone knows—that a person has no enemies in the world except himself.

One hates his enemies only when he fails to realize that they are not enemies, but cruel friends.

It is truly difficult for me to say who has done me more good and who has done me more evil in the world: friends or enemies.

Therefore bless, O Lord, both my friends and my enemies.

A slave curses enemies, for he does not understand. But a son blesses them, for he understands.

For a son knows that his enemies cannot touch his life. Therefore he freely steps among them and prays to God for them.

Bless my enemies, O Lord. Even I bless them and do not curse them.

SYNAXIS OF ALL SAINTS – Commemorated on June 7th (Reading and Icon courtesy of OCA Website)

The Sunday following Pentecost is dedicated to All Saints, both those who are known

to us, and those who are known only to God. There have been saints at all times, and

they have come from every corner of the earth. They were Apostles, Martyrs,

Prophets, Hierarchs, Monastics, and Righteous, yet all were perfected by the same

Holy Spirit.

The Descent of the Holy Spirit makes it possible for us to rise above our fallen state

and to attain sainthood, thereby fulfilling God’s directive to “be holy, for I am holy”.

Therefore, it is fitting to commemorate All Saints on the first Sunday after Pentecost.

This feast may have originated at an early date, perhaps as a celebration of all

martyrs, then it was broadened to include all men and women who had borne

witness to Christ by their virtuous lives, even if they did not shed their blood for

Him.

St Peter of Damascus, in his “Fourth Stage of Contemplation,” mentions five

categories of saints: Apostles, Martyrs, Prophets, Hierarchs, and Monastic Saints. St

Nicodemus of the Holy Mountain adds the Righteous to St Peter’s five categories. The

list of St Nicodemus is found in his book THE FOURTEEN EPISTLES OF ST PAUL

(Venice, 1819, p. 384) in his discussion of I Corinthians 12:28.

The hymnology for the feast of All Saints also lists six categories:

“Rejoice, assembly of the Apostles, Prophets of the Lord, loyal

choirs of the Martyrs, divine Hierarchs, Monastic Fathers, and the

Righteous....”

Some of the saints are described as Confessors, a category which

does not appear in the above lists. Since they are similar in spirit to

the martyrs, they are regarded as belonging to the category of

Martyrs. They were not put to death as the Martyrs were, but they

boldly confessed Christ and came close to being executed for their

faith. St Maximus the Confessor (January 21) is such a saint.

The order of these six types of saints seems to be based on their

importance to the Church. The Apostles are listed first, because they

were the first to spread the Gospel throughout the world.

The Martyrs come next because of their example of courage in

professing their faith before the enemies and persecutors of the

Church, which encouraged other Christians to remain faithful to

Christ even unto death.

Although they come first chronologically, the Prophets are listed

after the Apostles and Martyrs. This is because the Old Testament

Prophets saw only the shadows of things to come, whereas the

Apostles and Martyrs experienced them firsthand. The New

Testament also takes precedence over the Old Testament.

The holy Hierarchs comprise the fourth category. They are the

leaders of their flocks, teaching them by their word and their

example.

The Monastic Saints are those who withdrew from this world to live

in monasteries, or in seclusion. They did not do this out of hatred for

the world, but in order to devote themselves to unceasing prayer, and

to do battle against the power of the demons. Although some people

The Monastic Saints are those who withdrew from this world to live in monasteries, or in seclusion. They did not do this out of

hatred for the world, but in order to devote themselves to unceasing prayer, and to do battle against the power of the demons.

Although some people erroneously believe that monks and nuns are useless and unproductive, St John Climacus had a high regard

for them: “Angels are a light for monks, and the monastic life is a light for all men”.

The last category, the Righteous, are those who attained holiness of life while living “in the world.” Examples include Abraham and

his wife Sarah, Job, Sts Joachim and Anna, St Joseph the Betrothed, St Juliana of Lazarevo, and others.

The feast of All Saints achieved great prominence in the ninth century, in the reign of the Byzantine

Emperor Leo VI the Wise (886-911). His wife, the Holy Empress Theophano (December 16) lived in the

world, but was not attached to worldly things. She was a great benefactor to the poor, and was generous

to the monasteries. She was a true mother to her subjects, caring for widows and orphans, and consoling

the sorrowful.

Even before the death of StTheophano in 893 or 894, her husband started to build a church, intending to

dedicate it to Theophano, but she forbade him to do so. It was this emperor who decreed that the Sunday

after Pentecost be dedicated to All Saints. Believing that his wife was one of the righteous, he knew that

she would also be honored whenever the Feast of All Saints was celebrated.
