MEAT FARE SUNDAY

Matthew 25:31-46

From Father Walter

A true shepherd watches over his flock,

protects it and gives it rest; the shepherd

rescues the strays, bandages the wounded

and strengthens the weak (Ezekiel 34:14-16). Jesus is the Good

Shepherd (John 10:11) who came to save and give rest to all

people, to search out the lost, to care for the wounded and weak.

He is loving, constantly providing for our needs whether or not we

have believed in him and obeyed his teaching (John 12:44-50), a

teaching which includes the commandment to love one another

as God has loved us (John 15:12).

Matthew's description of Jesus' final judgement on the basis of

love can be understood in several ways: One tradition sees the

people we are to love as fellow Christians while a second tradition

centers on all of humanity, including those who do not know

Jesus. Both understandings give us a glimpse into the mind of

Christ.

According to the first tradition, followers of Christ will be judged on

whether or not we have loved those who believe in Christ. As we

love them, we love Christ (Matthew 25:40). Jesus' words ring

clear: "Just as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers,

you did it to me (Matthew 25:40).The disciples are Jesus' brothers

(Matthew 12:49) and messengers sent out to teach in his name

(Matthew 10:40-42). Loving these - who are, in fact, Christ's

ambassadors - includes receiving their word and teaching.

The second tradition believes that we will be judged on whether

or not we have loved all people, whether or not they are Jesus'

followers. All men and women are children of God, created in his image and likeness;

therefore, we must respect and honor them and treat them lovingly (Matthew 7:12).

What is the quality of our love? Do we love others, including those far from Christ, in the

power of the abundant grace flowing from God? Do we love our leaders and receive their

teaching? Do we love our fellow believers in the household of God (Ephesians 2:19) -

especially the members of our families? Do we reach out to those whom we can care for and

help?

As we love one another in practical and concrete ways, we can look forward without fear to

our own final judgment, for Jesus our King will not find our love wanting.

MEAT FARE SUNDAY

In the Early Church, no meat was eaten after this Sunday until Easter Sunday. The full name for this Sunday was “Farewell to Meat’ and was shortened to “Meat Fare”.

Since we know the Lord’s commandments, let us live accordingly: Let us give the hungry

food, the thirsty drink; let us clothe the naked, welcome strangers to our homes, visit those in prison and the sick; so that he who will judge the whole earth will say even to us: “Come, you that are blessed by my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you.” (Vespers

Stichera)

LAST JUDGMENT

In Ancient Palestine, shepherds would separate the sheep from the goats when

travelling from one pasture to another. Sheep and goats could feed together but could not travel together.

What prevents me from recognizing Jesus in people who are naked, hungry, thirsty, ill, imprisoned or lonely?

KONDAK (Tone 3)

O God, when You come to earth in all Your glory, * when all things will tremble, when the river of fire will flow before Your judgment seat, * when the books will be opened and when what is secret will be revealed; * then save me from the unquenchable fire, * and grant that I may stand at Your right hand, most just Judge.

Our love for God must be active. We need to recognize Jesus in the men and women we meet – even those with whom we would never associate. Giving alms and doing good to others is a huge part of the Christian life, but it is often assigned to the seasons of Great Lent or Phillipian Fast.

Page 3: SAINT BASIL the GREAT PARISH...2016/01/01  · January 31, 2016 SAINT BASIL the GREAT PARISH 202 HARCOURT STREET, WINNIPEG, MB R3J 3H3 Parish Office: 204-837-4180 Parish Hall: 204-889-9057

January 31, 2016

Many saints have had the experience of meeting Jesus in the least likely of places. St.

Francis of Assisi was terrified of lepers. After his conversion, he forced himself to go to the leper Colony and wash their wounds. As he did so, the leper became Christ and St. Francis realized that Jesus resides in the least likely of human beings. Where is Jesus hiding in my family, school, neighbourhood, Church? What does Jesus need from me?

WHAT CAN I DO IN MY CLASSROOM OR HOME?

Go through your closets and give clothes to the poor.

Have a bottle drive and give the money to the local food bank.

Put a sign on your mirror that says: Jesus lives in me!

Put a sign on your door that says: Jesus lives in others!

Pray for people who are lonely and sick, remember them as a family, class or individually.

Put chocolate in the food hampers at Church, not just food you dislike.

Try to spend a whole day thinking about others first.

At the end of each evening, class, week ask yourself if you helped anyone who was in need.

Where did you meet Jesus today?

”All men and women are created in the image and likeness of God, and Christ, the perfect image of

God, dwells in all of us. We find Christ in our neighbour, and not least in our neighbour who is in any

kind of need. If Lent is a time when the thought of judgment should spur us to repentance, then

authentic repentance leads us to put love into practice in our daily living and in all our

relationships”.

THE NEED FOR CHILD-LIKE FAITH

Most of us worry unnecessarily about too many things.

It’s almost as though we search for problems to give ourselves

stress. The amazing news is that much of what we worry

about doesn’t matter at all! Take a look at these statistics

about worry:

40% of all things that we worry

about never come to pass.

30% of all our worries involve past

decisions that cannot be changed.

12% focus on criticism from others

who spoke because they felt inferior.

10% are related to our health, which gets worse when we worry.

8% of our worries could be described as "legitimate" causes for concern.

Isn’t that remarkable? Fewer than one "problem" in every ten that we worry about is a real

concern. All the others are things that we can learn to see differently or eliminate.

Page 4: SAINT BASIL the GREAT PARISH...2016/01/01  · January 31, 2016 SAINT BASIL the GREAT PARISH 202 HARCOURT STREET, WINNIPEG, MB R3J 3H3 Parish Office: 204-837-4180 Parish Hall: 204-889-9057

January 31, 2016

God does not wish for us to spend our days worrying. Not about the

future, not about money or need. He will provide for all those who have

trust and believe in Him. Worry has been defined as “a small trickle of

fear that meanders through the mind until it cuts a channel into which all

other thoughts are drained.

Here are 7 reasons why you should not worry.

1-The same God who created life in you can be trusted

with the details of that life.

"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what

you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will

wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body

more important than clothes?” Matthew 6:25

We are the most valuable of all God’s creatures. In all

that we face in this world we can trust God – even in the

bad times. But we must make the choice to let go of our worries and trust Him.

2-Worrying about the future hampers your efforts

today.

“ Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap

or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father

feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than

they?” Matthew 6:26

3-Worrying is more harmful that helpful.

“ Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his

life?” Matthew 6:27

Death was walking

toward a city, and a

man stopped Death

and asked “what are

you going to do?”

“I’m going to kill

10,000 people today”

Death said. The man

ran ahead to the city. He warned everybody he passed that

Death was coming and what he was going to do. At the end

of the day, he again met Death. He said “you said you were

only going to kill 10,000 people and now 70,000 are dead” Death said “I killed only 10,000.

Worry and fear killed the others”.

Page 5: SAINT BASIL the GREAT PARISH...2016/01/01  · January 31, 2016 SAINT BASIL the GREAT PARISH 202 HARCOURT STREET, WINNIPEG, MB R3J 3H3 Parish Office: 204-837-4180 Parish Hall: 204-889-9057

January 31, 2016

4-God does not ignore those who depend on him.

"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor

or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.

If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown

into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? “Matthew 6:28-30

We may worry about things but we have a lot to be thankful for to God.

If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your

back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep, you are

richer than 75% of this world.

If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and

spare change in a dish someplace, you are among

the top 8% of the worlds wealthy.

If you woke up this morning with more health than

illness, you are more blessed than the million who

will not survive this week

If you have never experienced the danger of battle,

the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation, you are

ahead of 500 million people in the world.

If you can attend church meetings without fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death, you

are more blessed than three billion in the world.

And if your parents are still alive and still married, you are very rare.

5-Worrying shows a lack of faith and understanding of God.

“ So do not worry, saying, `What shall we eat?’ or `What

shall we drink?’ or `What shall we wear?’ For the pagans

run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows

that you need them.” Matthew 6:31-32

When it comes to faith conquering our worrying, we need to

have a child-like faith.

A child does not worry all day long whether his house will be

there when he gets home from school, or whether his

parents will have made dinner. In the same way, Christians

should trust God to supply what is best for us.

6-Worrying keeps you from focusing on what God wants you to pursue.

“ But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you

as well.” Matthew 6:33

Page 6: SAINT BASIL the GREAT PARISH...2016/01/01  · January 31, 2016 SAINT BASIL the GREAT PARISH 202 HARCOURT STREET, WINNIPEG, MB R3J 3H3 Parish Office: 204-837-4180 Parish Hall: 204-889-9057

January 31, 2016

If we are taking care of God’s business

as a priority—seeking His salvation,

living in obedience to Him, and sharing

the good news of the kingdom with

others—then He will take care of our

business as He promised—and if that’s

the arrangement, why worry? But how

do we know if we’re truly seeking God’s kingdom first? There are questions we can ask

ourselves. “Where do I primarily spend my energies? Is all my time and money spent on

goods and activities that will certainly perish, or in the services of God—the results of which

live on for eternity?” Believers who have learned to truly put God first may then rest in this

holy dynamic: “…and all these things will be given to you as well.”

7-Living one day at a time keeps us from being

consumed with worry.

“ Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for

tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has

enough trouble of its own.” Matthew 6:34

It does no good to worry about tomorrow. We may

not have a tomorrow. If you are worrying about the

problems of tomorrow, you will miss out on the

blessings of today.

A Sanctuary Light burns eternally to indicate the presence of Jesus in the Holy Eucharist in the Tabernacle. It is a marvelous thing that we can actually be in His presence!

"Holiness is a disposition of the heart that makes us humble and little in the arms of God, aware

of our weakness, and confident -- in the most audacious way -- in His Fatherly goodness."

- St. Therese of the Infant Jesus

THE TRAVELING ICON OF THE MOTHER OF POCHAIV

You can arrange to have the icon in your home by using the sign-up sheet at the back of the church. Just write your name on the week in the calendar that corresponds to your choice of time period.

When we speak of icons as a medium for “gazing into heaven”, we refer to their value as much more than ethereal-looking religious art. Instead, icons serve as a very real means for connecting us with God and His love. Icons are beautiful, but without relationship behind it, beauty alone feeds only a portion of the human soul, and ultimately patronizes the deep human need for loving connection with the Transcendent. With this in mind, we seek to view icons as points of visual and spiritual intersection with eternal things, as living prompts for our prayers, and as reminders of the very real world that exists beyond the limitations of this temporal one. Icons can seem complicated or strange at first. Take time to come present to the icon, to simply gaze, allowing both your sense of sight as well as the longings of your heart to interact with what the icon presents to you in a particular moment. Icons have a way of teaching the heart spiritual truths the mind cannot. This is part of what is meant by icons being “theology in color.

While the Icon is in your home pray before it, alone or with others, for all your intentions and needs. You may pray the Rosary, in whole or in part, or the prayers from the Moleben to the Mother of God, or pray in your own words; or simply spend some silent moments in meditation, listening and being attentive to God's Word.

In your prayers, approach the Blessed Mother with childlike confidence and bring her all your concerns, worries, disappointments, hurts and sufferings, and all your needs, wishes and hopes. But also say a prayer of thanksgiving for all of your successes and joys, your graces and blessings, known and unknown. Make the most of the presence of Mary's Icon in your home.
