24.01.2022 Верувам, Господи, и исповедам дека Ти си навистина Христос, Син на живиот Бог, Ко доде во светот за да ги спасиш грешните, од кои прв сум ас. Уште верувам дека ова е самото Твое пречисто тело и ова е самата Твоа чесна крв. Затоа Ти се молам, смилува се на мене и прости ми ги прегрешениата мои, волни и неволни, направени со збор и со дело, со знаее и незнаее; удосто ме неосудено да се причестам со пречистите Твои Тани, за прошка на гревовите и за живот вечен. Амин. ...Сине Божи, прими ме денес за учесник на Твоата Тана Вечера, зашто нема да а кажам таната на Твоите неприатели, ниту целив е Ти дадам како уда, туку како разбоникот те исповедам: Спомни ме, Господи, во Царството Твое. Причестуваето со светите Твои тани, Господи, да не ми биде за суд и за осуда, но за исцеление на душата и телото. Амин.

20.01.2022 22 December 2020 29th Week After Pentecost The Conception by Saint Anna, of "Whence is Conceived the Holy Mother of God": ... Saint Anna, the mother of the MostHoly Mother of God, was the youngest daughter of the priest Nathan from Bethlehem, descended from the tribe of Levi. She entered into marriage with Saint Joakim, who was a native of Galilee. For a long time Saint Anna was childless, but after a span of some 20 years, through the fervent prayer of both spouses, an Angel of the Lord announced to them the Conception of a Daughter, Who would bring blessing to all the human race. The Conception by Saint Anna took place at Jerusalem, where also was born the MostHoly Virgin Mary by name.

19.01.2022 Sunday 20 December 2020 28th Sunday after Pentecost Scripture Reading ... Today we heard about 'The Parable of the Great Banquet'. One Sabbath day Jesus went to eat dinner in the home of a leader of the Pharisees, and the people were watching Him closely. When Jesus noticed that all who had come to the dinner were trying to sit in the seats of honor near the head of the table, He gave them this advice and spoke to them a parable. Then He turned to His host and said "When you put on a luncheon or a banquet, don’t invite your friends, brothers, relatives, and rich neighbors. For they will invite you back, and that will be your only reward. Instead, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind. Then at the resurrection of the righteous, God will reward you for inviting those who could not repay you." Hearing this, a man sitting at the table with Jesus exclaimed, What a blessing it will be to attend a banquet in the Kingdom of God! Hearing this Jesus replied: "A certain man was preparing a great banquet and invited many guests. At the time of the banquet he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’ But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said, ‘I have just bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please excuse me.’ Another said, ‘I have just bought five yoke of oxen, and I’m on my way to try them out. Please excuse me.’ Still another said, ‘I just got married, so I can’t come.’ The servant came back and reported this to his master. Then the owner of the house became angry and ordered his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame.’ ‘Sir,’ the servant said, ‘what you ordered has been done, but there is still room.’ Then the master told his servant, ‘Go out to the roads and country lanes and compel them to come in, so that my house will be full. I tell you, not one of those who were invited will get a taste of my banquet.'" Luke 14:16-24

18.01.2022 Today, Thursday 26 November 2020, the 25th Week after Pentecost, is the "Eve of the Nativity Fast" Saint John Chrystostom wrote; "The value of fasting consists not in avoiding certain foods, but in giving up of sinful practices. The person who limits his fast only to abstaining from meat is the one who especially lowers the value of it. Do you fast? Prove it by doing good works. If you see someone in need, take pity on them. If you see a friend being honored, don't get jealou...s of him or her. For a true fast, you cannot fast only with your mouth. You must fast with your eyes, your ears, your feet, your hands, and all parts of your body. You fast with your hands by keeping them pure from doing greedy things. You fast with your feet by not going to see forbidden shows or plays. You fast with your eyes by not letting them look upon impure pictures (pornography). Because if this is forbidden or unlawful, it mars your fast and threatens the safety of your soul. But if you look at things which are lawful and safe you increase your fast, for what you see with your eyes influences your conduct. It would be very stupid to eliminate or give up meat and other foods because of the fast but feed with your eyes upon other things which are forbidden. You don't eat meat, you say? But you allow yourself to listen to lewd things. You must fast with your ears, too. Another way of fasting with your ears is not to listen to those who speak evil or untrue things about others. "Thou shalt not receive an idle report." This is especially true of rumors, gossip, untruths which are spoken to harm another. Besides fasting with your mouth by not eating certain foods, your mouth should also fast from foul language or telling lies about others. For what good is it if you don't eat meat or poultry, and yet you bite and devour your fellow man?" A blessed Nativity Fast to all.

17.01.2022 "When we pray continually, God will enlighten us as to what we must do in each situation, even the most difficult. God will speak in our heart, He will find a way." Saint Porphyrios

16.01.2022 "Human life is but of brief duration. ‘All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field. The grass withers, the flower fades; but the word of our God shall stand forever’ (Isa. 40:6). Let us hold fast to the commandment that abides, and despise the unreality that passes away. Saint Basil the Great

10.01.2022 Символ на верата Верувам во единиот Бог Отец, Седржител, Творец на небото и на земата, на сè видливо и невидливо; И во Единиот Господ Исус Христос, Син Божи, Ко е роден од Отца пред сите векови, Светлина од Светлина, Бог вистински од Бога вистински роден, нестворен, едносуштен на Отца, преку кого сè станало;... Ко заради нас луето и заради нашето спасение слезе од небото и се воплоти од Светиот Дух и Мариа Дева и стана човек; И беше распнат заради нас во времето на Понтискиот Пилат и страдаше и беше погребан; И вискресна во третиот ден според Писмото; И се вознесе на небото и седи оддесно на Отца; И пак е доде со слава да им суди на живите и на мртвите и Неговото царство не е има кра; И во Светиот Дух, Господ, Ко живот твори, Ко излегува од Отца, на Кого се поклонуваме и Го славиме заедно со Отецот и Синот и Ко говорел преку пророците; Во една света, соборна и апостолска Црква; Исповедувам едно крштение за простувае на гревовите; Го чекам воскресението на мртвите; И животот во идниот век. Амин!

09.01.2022 If anyone would ask you why you pray to soulless icons, what profit you derive from them, say that we derive incomparably greater profit from our icons than we do from the kindest and most benevolent living persons; say that blessed power and help to our souls always comes to us from icons, saving us from sins, sorrows, and sicknesses; especially from icons of the Saviour and of the Mother of God; that one single look with faith upon them, as upon the living and those who are... near to us, saves us from cruel sorrows, passions, and spiritual darkness; that if touching the Saviour's garment, and the garments and handkerchiefs of the Apostles could restore health to the sick, much more are the images of the Saviour and of the Mother of God powerful to heal believers of every affliction, in accordance with their faith in the Lord and in His Mother. St. John of Kronstadt, On Prayer

07.01.2022 The Holy Prophet Jonah lived in the VIII Century before the Birth of Christ and was a successor of the Prophet Elisha. The Book of the Prophet Jonah is included in the compilation of the Bible and has prophecies about the judgements on the Israelite nation, the sufferings of the Saviour, the downfall of Jerusalem, and the end of the world. Besides the prophecies, in the Book of Jonah is related, how he was sent to the Ninevites with a preaching of repentance (Jon. 3: 3-10). ...Our Lord Jesus Christ, in conversation with the Scribes and the Pharisees demanding a sign from Him, said that no sign would be given, save for the sign of the Prophet Jonah: "As Jonah was in the belly of the whale three days and three nights, so also shalt the Son of Man be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights (Mt. 12: 40). From these words the Lord shows clearly the symbolic meaning of the Book of the Prophet Jonah in relation to the Death on the Cross, the Descent into Hell, and the Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. Reproaching the lack of penitence and recalcitrance of the Jews, the Lord said: "The Ninevites shalt rise up to judgement with this generation and wilt condemn it wherein that they had repented themselves from the preaching of Jonah; and here, is He greater than Jonah" (Mt. 12: 41). 1996-2001 by translator Fr. S. Janos.

06.01.2022 The Burning of Incense in the Orthodox Church Incense is a mix of spices and gums that the Orthodox Church burns during services, which produces a beautiful fragrant smoke. The Psalmist wrote in 141:2 "Let my prayer come before Thee as incense, the lifting up of my hands as an evening sacrifice". ... The burning of incense is symbolic of prayer and it is mentioned throughout both Old and New Testaments. In Luke 1:8-20, the Archangel Gabriel appeared to Zechariah as he was serving God in the Temple, for his order was on duty that week. As was the custom of the priests, he was chosen by lot to enter the sanctuary of the Lord and burn incense. While the incense was being burned, a great crowd stood outside, praying. While Zechariah was in the sanctuary, an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing to the right of the incense altar. Zechariah was shaken and overwhelmed with fear when he saw him. But the angel said, Don’t be afraid, Zechariah! God has heard your prayer. Your wife, Elizabeth, will give you a son, and you are to name him John. You will have great joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth, for he will be great in the eyes of the Lord. He must never touch wine or other alcoholic drinks. He will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even before his birth. And he will turn many Israelites to the Lord their God. He will be a man with the spirit and power of Elijah. He will prepare the people for the coming of the Lord. He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and he will cause those who are rebellious to accept the wisdom of the Godly. Zechariah said to the angel, How can I be sure this will happen? I’m an old man now, and my wife is also well along in years. Then the angel said, I am Gabriel! I stand in the very presence of God. It was he who sent me to bring you this good news! But now, since you didn’t believe what I said, you will be silent and unable to speak until the child is born. For my words will certainly be fulfilled at the proper time. In the book of Revelation chapter 8: 3-4, it says that an angel came and stood at the altar, with a golden censer. A great amount of incense was given to the angel to mix with the prayers of God’s people as an offering on the gold altar before the throne. The smoke of the incense, mixed with the prayers of God’s holy people, ascended up to God from the altar where the angel had poured them out. Incense is an integral part of worship in the Orthodox Church, and also in the homes of the Orthodox faithful. The priest censes icons in honour of God as God alone has crowned the saints, and God alone works wonders through their intercessions here on earth. The priest also censes the faithful, who make the sign of the cross as a reminder of their baptism and their devotion to Christ. O magnify the LORD with me, And let us lift up His name together. Psalms 34:3

04.01.2022 It is only necessary to seek one thing: to be with Jesus. The man who remains with Jesus is rich, even if he is poor with regard to material things. Who ever desires the earthly more than the heavenly loses both the earthly and the heavenly. But whoever seeks the heavenly is Lord of the whole world. (St. Ignatius Brianchaninov, Patericon)

03.01.2022 Thursday January 14, 2021 32nd Week after Pentecost The Circumcision of Our Lord Jesus Christ ... O Jesus, Who in the highest dost sit with Thine unoriginate Father and the divine Spirit upon a fiery throne, Thou wast well-pleased to be born on earth of Thy Mother, a Maiden who knew not man; wherefore, thou wast circumcised as a babe eight days of age. Glory to Thine all-good counsel! Glory to Thy dispensation! Glory to Thy condescension, O Thou Who alone lovest mankind! Saint Basil the Great Thy sound hath gone forth into all the earth, which hath received thy discourse, whereby thou didst divinely teach and make clear the nature of things, and didst adorn the ways of men. O venerable father, thou royal priesthood, entreat Christ God, that our souls be saved.

03.01.2022 The goal of human freedom is not in freedom itself, nor is it in man, but in God. By giving man freedom, God has yielded to man a piece of His divine authority, but with the intention that man himself would voluntarily bring it as a sacrifice to God, a most perfect offering. + St. Theophan the Recluse
