Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church of Norwich

The Trinity Tribune March 2017 Edition

To my Beloved family,

The last few weeks, the Triodion Period, we have been

called to self-reflection, repentance, and watchfulness in order

that we may accept Our Lord and God, who is all loving and

merciful. We have been reminded of this by the Fathers of the

Church, who have set the Triodion Period with the selected

weeks: The Publican and Pharisee, The Prodigal Son, and the

Sunday of the Last Judgement, to awaken us to these activities.

Now, as we begin our journey through lent, we have the

basic and fundamental weapons to use against the adversary.

Trying to hit the mark and attain salvation, we draw from our

quiver the first arrow of self-reflection so that we may examine

ourselves and move closer to a bullseye. Pulling out our second

arrow of repentance, we take aim, hoping to correct our mindset

and keep Christ as our focus. Watchfulness is our third strike at

the target, as we have been reminded of God’s mercy, we must

be mindful that our Lord will also come again as an impartial

judge at a time we do not know, lest we become lax in using our

arrows to try to hit the mark.

With lent, our quiver is refilled with more arrows to help

us focus on the bullseye, which is our Lord God and Savior Je-

sus Christ. We are blessed with the arrows of: Fasting, to help

purify us body and soul; The prayer of St Ephraim, to help us

maintain our humility and maintain our relationship with our

brothers and sisters; Confession, a second baptism to wash us

clean and whiter than snow; Salutations to The Theotokos,

seeking her intercessory prayers to fill us with God’s Grace for

health and strength against the adversary; Pre-sanctified Liturgy

to approach our Lord and God with fear, faith and love in order

to retain Him in us; More opportunity for fellowship, thus allow-

ing for the familial supportive relationship to endure through

struggles.

These arrows are given to us to pierce through the obstacles of

the enemy and hit our target. To help us through our Lenten

journey, I invite you all to stay after Sunday Liturgy and partici-

pate in a new educational series, led by myself for our entire

family, I have titled, “Our Journey through Lent.” We will

briefly discuss the arrows we have been given to hit the target,

the obstacles between us and the target, and how practice makes

perfect. We will conclude every “Our Journey Through Lent”

with an open forum to ask question and seek support from our

church family. I also encourage our Young Adults, Seniors in

High School through the age of 30, married and unmarried, to

come and participate on Friday, March 24th, at 7pm for an even-

ing meal and a discussion on Lenten sacrifice and the light at the

end of the tunnel.

Have a Blessed Lent!

With Love in the Lord, Fr Demetri

Αγαπητή μου οικογένεια,

Τις τελευταίες εβδομάδες που έχουμε Τριοδιο, πρέπει να έχουμε

αναστοχασμό , μετάνοια και παρατηρητικότητα ωστε να μπορέσουμε

να δεχτούμε τον Κύριο και Θεό μας, που ειναι γεμάτος Αγάπη και

Έλεος. Οι πατέρες της Εκκλησίας μας έχουν διαχωρίσει το Τριοδιο στα

εξής κεφαλαία: Οι Τελωνοι και οι Φαρισεοι, ο Άσωτος Υιός και η

Κυριακή της Κρισεως για να μας αφυπνίσουν την συνείδηση μας.

Όπως ξεκινάμε το ταξίδι μας την Σαρακοστή, έχουμε τα βασικά και

θεμελιώδες όπλα για να παλέψουμε τον αντίπαλο μας και για να

φτάσουμε στην σωτηρία μας. Κατα κάποιο τρόπο, προσπαθούμε να

χρησιμοποιήσουμε τον ανάστοχασμο σαν ένα βέλος που τραβάμε απο

την φαρέτρα μας ώστε να εξετάσουμε τον εαυτό μας και να φθάσουμε

στο κέντρο στόχου μας. Σαν δεύτερο βέλος, χρησιμοποιούμε την

μετάνοια για να διορθώσουμε τον εαυτό μας στοχεύσουμε καλύτερα

και να εστιάσουμε την προσοχή μας προς τον Χριστο. Η

παρατηρητικότητα ειναι το τρίτο βέλος που χρησιμοποιούμε για να

φτάσουμε στην διάνα και η υπενθύμιση του Ελέους του Κυρίου μας,

μας βοηθάει να έχουμε στο μυαλό μας οτι ο Κύριος θα επιστρέψει στην

γη ξανά ως αμεροληπτος κριτής σε στιγμή που δεν γνωρίζουμε και έτσι

δεν πρέπει ποτέ να χαλαρώσουμε την προσπάθεια μας να χτυπήσουμε

την διάνα με τα βέλη μας.

Την περίοδο της Σαρακοστής, η φαρέτρα μας ξαναγεμίζει απο βέλη για

να μας βοηθήσουνε και πάλι να βρούμε το κέντρο στόχου μας το οποίο

ειναι ο Κύριος και Σωτήρας μας, Ιησούς Χριστός. Μας ευλογεί με τα

ακόλουθα βελή: -την νηστεία που καθαρίζει το σώμα και την ψυχή

μας· -την προσευχή του Αγ. Εφραίμ που μας βοηθάει να παραμενουμε

ταπεινοί και να κρατάμε τις σχέσεις μας με τους αδερφούς και αδερφές

μας·- την εξομολόγηση, που ειναι σαν δεύτερη Βάπτιση που μας

ξεπλένει και μας αφήνει πιο πεντακάθαρους και απο το χιόνι·-τους

Χαιρετισμούς της Θεοτόκου, ψάχνωντας τις μεσολαβητικές Της

προσευχές που θα μας γεμίσουν με την Χάρη του Θεου για υγεία και

δύναμη απέναντι στον αντίπαλο μας· -Προηγιασμενη Λειτουργία που

θα μας οδηγήσει στον Θεό και Κύριο μας με φόβο, πίστη και αγάπη για

να Τον κρατήσουμε μέσα μας·-επιπλέον ευκαιρίες για εκκλησιαστικές

υποτροφίες που βοηθάνε τις οικογένειακες μας σχεσεις να αντέχουν

όταν υποφέρουν.Όλα αυτά τα βέλη μας έχουν δωθεί για να

καταφέρουμε να διαπερασουμε τα εμπόδια του εχθρού και να

φτάσουμε στο κέντρο στόχου μας. Για να μπορέσουμε να αντέξουμε

το ταξίδι της Σαρακοστής, σας προσκαλώ ολους να παραμείνετε μετά

την Θεία Λειτουργία της Κυριακής και να συμμετάσχετε στην

καινούργια οικογενειακή και εκπαιδευτική σειρά που θα παρουσιάσω:

"Πορεία της Σαρακοστής". Σε αυτή την ομιλία, θα συζητήσουμε τα

βέλη που μας έχουν δωθεί για να χτυπήσουμε τον στόχο, τα εμπόδια

ανάμεσα απο εμάς και τον στόχο και πως η προπόνηση μας βοηθάει να

φτάσουμε στην τελειότητα. Το κάθε μίτινγκ μας θα τελειώνει με την

ευκαιρια να μπορέσετε να ρωτήσετε οτι θέλετε και να έχετε

υποστηριξη της όλης εκκλησιαστικής μας οικογενειας.

Θα ήθελα να ενθαρρύνω και όλη την Νεολαία, ηλικίας 18 έως 30,

παντρεμενους και μη, να έρθουν την Παρασκευή, 24 Μαρτίου στής

7μμ να φάμε μαζι και να συμμετάσχουν στην συζήτηση που θα

κάνουμε περί της νηστίσιμης θυσίας και το φως στο τέλος του τούνελ.

Καλή Σαρακοστή!

Με αγάπη στον Κύριο,

Πάτερ Δημήτριος.

Αγαπητά μου Αδέρφια εν Κυριω,

Φτάσαμε στην Σαρακοστή. Προσεύχομαι οτι οι επόμενες 40 μέρες σας

πολλές υπηρεσίες διαθέσιμες σε όλο το το διάστημα για όλες τις ανάγκες της

ενορίας μας.

Ως Ορθόδοξη Χριστιανή, προσπαθώ να φτάσω όσο πιο δυνατόν κοντά στον

Θεό γίνετε. Η εκκλησία μας ειναι ένα άσυλο στο οποίο αισθάνομαι την

παρουσία του Θεου κοντά μου. Επίσης, σαν Ορθόδοξη Χριστιανη, παντα

πιστεύω στον Θεό. Με τον Θεό έχω Ελπίδα. Με την Ελπιδα έχω την Αγαπη

Η αδερφή σας εν Κυρίω.

through Lent (sloth, faint-heartedness, lust of power, idle talk)

(chastity, humility, patience, and love). with a fun craft where the

children decorated crosses with foil and various gems. Each was

unique! We ended the day with a prayer and snacks of "snails and

spiders."

If you have not attended one of our J.O.Y. gatherings, please know

that you are welcome to drop in at 2:00PM every first and third Satur-

day of the month. Don't miss

out on the fun and fellowship!

The demons either tempt us themselves or arm against us those who have no fear of the Lord. They tempt us themselves when we withdraw from human society, as they, tempted our Lord in the desert. They tempt us through other people when we spend our time in the company of others, as they tempted our Lord through the Pharisees. But whichever line of attack they choose, let us repel them by keeping our gaze fixed on the Lord's example.'

St. Maximos the Confessor
