Spiritual reveille , Spiritual awakening ... be of good cheer …
Respected and beloved and blessed children ,
Evloghite,
May you be blessed,
PANAGIA
be with you always and everywhere.
Have
a good week.
Be strong
in your everyday life,
for whatever
it…offers us...,
is the
exams that the the Holy and kind God grants us
and His
chance to enter in a godly manner in the route of our life, while we enter
in….the territorial waters of His divine blessing and protection.
In our days, even the deamon, the evil one is hag-ridden.
Culture,
despite its progress and advancement, it offers a regression, an easy slope,
…that of the values and moral standards…
It
replaces the straight, steadfast, difficult and narrow way of the Gospel, but
that which leads to the light and the salvation,
with the
wide one, the descent, the comfortable, the crooked, which is a restriction,
and leads to captivity, lawlessness and enslavement.
I
understand you anxiety which is full of pain,
Each
one’s anxiety ....:
as a
faithful,
as a
Christian,
as a
family man,
as a
father,
as a
member of Christ's body.....
as an
honest member of the society.
Of
a society that has done away with the ideals, and has replaced them
by...zeroes.

the
wisdom of the God-bearing Fathers, with the unlawfulness of iniquity...

faith’s

obedience to the Almighty, with the obedience to the ruler of the darkness….
The
straight way, with the backstage activities...

sympathizing
with the others' pain, by being unconcerned as many people do ...
And we
are required to take a stand , not with the multitudes, but with the right
ones….
not with
the “well done” of the people , but with the ...well done faithful servant
...of God....
not with
the acclamation and bodyguards, but with Christ and our Saints...
with the
One , who gives everything, if we trust in Him.
not with
that which is easy and lawless, but with the right and good...
not with
the comfort and irregular, but with the straight way...
not with
the many, but with the good ones...
not with
the easiness, but with the blessing ...
not with
the retreat, but with understanding...
not with
the consession , but with stabilization...
not with
the subjugation , but with our tradition...
not with
the unconcern , but with the good worry...
not with
the stagnation, but with the firmness ...
not with
the expediency, but with the holines ....
not with
the transgression , but with the lawfulness ....
not with
breach , but with the hallowed willing ....
not with
the distraction , but with the inwardness..
not
straining out a gnat, but taking care of the details...
not with
the frivolity , but with the gravity...
I
understand your anxiety ..
We
are not against the state, but we preserve the accuracy of our faith , and that
which was committed to our trust, and the eternal mountains that our Fathers
handed down to us, requesting that these mountains should never be moved.
Being steadfast on faith, on the Gospel, on the tradition of our Church ,
on that which was committed to us, and on everything that the God-bearing
Fathers of our Church handed down to us as an inheritance, that doesn’t mean
that we reject science and medicine. In deed it means that with a spiritual
nobility and morality, having the braveness of the Holy Joseph from
Arimathea, we hold the precious treasure of our faith, complete, like
when the Highpriest ordains a priest, and he hands him in the palm the precious
pearl, the Lamb, and he orders him to preserve it in full, and with great honor
, until Christ’s second come.
Inside this current trial, within that ...tsunami, in that spiritual and
social seastorm, we are not alone, likewise Christ’s Disciples were not alone,
when their boat was tossed in the tremendous rough sea. They were in
danger, and they were afraid of sinking and drowning. Christ appeared, at the
fourth watch of the night, and first He calmed down their souls which were
upset within them, saying:... be of good cheer , don’t be afraid, it is
I…
And then
, He rebuked the severe sea, saying: :.....
...
peace, be still....
And there
was a great calm, ...
endless
aand unruffled ...
Now, our era, our society is tossed as well, by the fourth...mutation of
the virus...
Like
another fourth guard of the night....
and it is
right what is said «of the night», for Christ, the light, is missing.
But as His divine figure appeared suddenly and acted, at the fourth watch
of the night, in the same way, in that stormy period , God’s grace will appear,
the way Lord’s omniscience will judge, in order to rescue us from the storm and
the shipwreck...
don’t be
afraid ....
Like with
His commanding and creative words...He spoke and they were made, .....He
said and it was so…..all things were made through Him, and without Him nothing
was made that was made...
as
the Disciple of love, the beloved John the Theologian says,
so,
through His divine commandment, He will intervene in a godly
manner...
And like the Three Youths in Babylon, who despised the impious order, and
they were thrown in the furnace, but they remained harmless from the furnace,
although they stayed for three days in it. The furnace showed respect to the
bodies of the Three Youths who were respecting God. God did not put out the
fire of the furnace, since He had…His plan, but He turned the fire into
coolness, through the hymnody of the devout ones. In the same way He will
change things, He will save and release the devout, the faithful ones from the
fiery darts and the burning furnace of our days.
We are not sheep without a shepherd...
neither a
boat without a captain, ...
nor castaways
with a weight.....
or an
uncultivated field...
neither
we are alone, but we are with the One,
and His
ONE MOTHER, PANAGIA, who has a motherly freedom of speech towards
the One who was born through HER, who is the hope of our souls...
we have
the Mother of God…
the good
one among women...
the one
who conceived without the laws of nature...
the hope
of the hopeless
the
refuge of our souls...
the only
immaculate and PURE..
the hope
which cannot be put to shame ...
the help
of the beleaguered...
the ready
assistance of them that run to HER....
the
refuge of all Christians...
the one
who united God the Word to humanity by Her extraordinary conceiving...
the one
who joined our outcast nature to the things in heavens…
the
salvation of the sinners...
the
shelter of our souls ...
the QUEEN
and Lady of Angels...
the one
who is wider that heavens ...
the
Mother of light...
the
healing of the bodies..
the
release from the sufferings....
the safe
protection ..
the sure
assistance...
the one
who made earth look like heaven...
the one
who calmed the universe..
the
THEOTOKOS......
the
Mother of life....
the one
who gave birth to the invisible One...
the
enclosure of the One who cannot be enclosed...
who gave
flesh to the Bodiless ..
who
united the divided ..
PANAGIA...
the
certain defence...
the
undeniable hope ....
the hope
of our souls....
the Ark
of salvation...
the
anchor of faith....
the
heavenly Gate ...
the sing
of the bodiless angels ...
the
ornament of the faithful...
the
living Throne of the Great King....
the
heavenly bridal chamber.....
the
Temple of divinity...
the burnt
but not consumed Bush ...
the
living ark...
the
noeticall paradise...
the calm
harbor ...
the cape
of hope ...
the Queen
who stands at the right of Her Son...
the joy
and overshadow of ours...
the
all-illuminous and undefeatable Shelter ..
the
living Cloud ...
the
all-golden vessel...
the Table
of the Word...
the true
Vine ...
the giver
of every divine kindness...
the
Shelter and salvation of all people...
He, who incarnate through HER, accepts THEOTOKOS’ kneelings before Him.
She, the Mother of light, who has a motherly freedom of speech, intercedes with
Him for the salvation and the deliverance of the world·
And
Christ, who prayed, is the One who listens to the prayers of all people.
And
remember that the parents, are their childrens' Guardian Angel on earth, and
especially the Mother.
Parents'
prayers to God for their children, has a great freedom of speech towards the
Divinity’s throne.
Remember
the father in the Parable of the prodigal son. Remember Job and Saint Monica,
St. Augustin's mother, who was named by the Fathers of our Church, «Son of
tears»....
It would
be good if you pray, warmly, if you read the Salutations of PANAGIA daily...
And we
have by our side a cloud of Martyrs, who are in the glorious and victorious
Church of heavens.
They are
like road signs, showing us precisely and steadily the route forward, towards
the relief from the disasters, to the security and redemption. They hand us
Ariadne’s thread of the mythology, to get out of the labyrinth, which some
people built on purpose, in order to lead us to the noetic Minotaur, to Vaal,
to atheism, to the estrangement from the Truth, the Way, the Life, which is
Christ Himself.
Our Church has spiritual road signs, and they must point out firmly and
purely the way to salvation.
The road signs must be fixed well in the ground, with a base, and with
stone, so that they may remain stable, no matter the weather conditions…. And
not to be like flags, to receive only the respects and then flatter where the
wind blows, but, the signs must reveal steadily the meaning of firmness and the
merits, not the positions….
We are
not sheep without a shepherd,
nor boat
without a captain…
Christ
went out conquering, and to conquer...
He
trampled down death and corruption , and He calls all of us to draw near Him,
to attain our salvation, to find the truth, the light, the life.
Be of
good cheer,
don’t be
afraid...
We have a
great Defender, an undefeatable power, which can never be put to shame, the
ALL-HOLY PURE VIRGIN, and may we all of us attain our salvation, through HER
interssecions. Amen. May it be so.
In the
Mission, and in the Holy mission...
