PASTORAL MESSAGE Dear Parishioners,

Χριστός Ανέστη!!! Christ is Risen!!!

Together we celebrate our Lord and Savior Jesus

Christ’s victory over death! His crucifixion and

resurrection have freed us from the

consequences of our fallen human nature and He

is among us now as we approach the Blessed Great and Holy Feast

of Pentecost!

Going forward in life we must realize that the greatest of all debts

has been lifted from our shoulders: the generational debt that could

not be repaid except through Christ’s victory over death. He has

loosened us from our bonds; He has given us true pursuit of eternal

happiness; He has given us life and hope!

Let these Holy days not be routine. Let us not accept the status quo.

Each of us must examine our life in the context of what He has given

us, and in return offer back to him the appropriate gifts of

thanksgiving and love—which is nothing less than our whole life!

May the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the Love of God the

Father and the Communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all!!!

Worshipping His 3rd Day Blessed Resurrection, I remain,

In His Service,

Rev. Father Jon Boukis

Proistamenos

SSS. CONSTANTINE & HELEN. Celebrated May 21

This great and renowned sovereign of the Christians was the son of Constantius Chlorus (the ruler of the westernmost parts of the Roman empire), and of the blessed Helen. He was born in 272, in Naissus of Dardania, a city on the Hellespont. In 306, when his father died, he was proclaimed successor to his throne. In 312, on learning that Maxentius and Maximinus had joined forces against him, he marched into Italy, where, while at the head of his troops, he saw in the sky after midday, beneath the sun, a radiant pillar in the form of a cross with the words: "By this shalt thou conquer." The following night, our Lord Jesus Christ appeared to him in a dream and declared to him the power of the

Cross and its significance. When he arose in the morning, he immediately ordered that a labarum be made (which is a banner or standard of victory over the enemy) in the form of a cross, and he inscribed on it the Name of Jesus Christ. On the 28th Of October, he attacked and mightily conquered Maxentius, who drowned in the Tiber River while fleeing. The following day, Constantine entered Rome in triumph and was proclaimed Emperor of the West by the Senate, while Licinius, his brother-in-law, ruled in the East. But out of malice, Licinius later persecuted the Christians. Constantine fought him once and again, and utterly destroyed him in 324, and in this manner he became monarch over the West and the East. Under him and because of him all the persecutions against the Church ceased. Christianity triumphed and idolatry was overthrown. In 325 he gathered the First Ecumenical Council in Nicaea, which he himself personally addressed. In 324, in the ancient city of Byzantium, he laid the foundations of the new capital of his realm, and solemnly inaugurated it on May 11, 330, naming it after himself, Constantinople. Since the throne of the imperial rule was transferred thither from Rome, it was named New Rome, the inhabitants of its domain were called Romans, and it was considered the continuation of the Roman Empire. Falling ill near Nicomedia, he requested to receive divine Baptism, according to Eusebius , and also according to Socrates and Sozomen; and when he had been deemed worthy of the Holy Mysteries, he reposed in 337, on May 21 or 22, the day of Pentecost, having lived sixty-five years, of which he ruled for thirty-one years. His remains were transferred to Constantinople and were deposed in the Church of the Holy Apostles, which had been built by him .

As for his holy mother Helen, after her son had made the Faith of Christ triumphant throughout the Roman Empire, she undertook a journey to Jerusalem and found the Holy Cross on which our Lord was crucified (see Sept. 13 and 14). After this, Saint Helen, in her zeal to glorify Christ, erected churches in Jerusalem at the sites of the Crucifixion and Resurrection, in Bethlehem at the cave where our Saviour was born, another on the Mount of Olives whence He ascended into Heaven, and many others throughout the Holy Land, Cyprus, and elsewhere. She was proclaimed Augusta, her image was stamped upon golden coins, and two cities were named Helenopolis after her in Bithynia and in Palestine. Having been thus glorified for her piety, she departed to the Lord being about eighty years of age.

PENTECOST Celebrated May 23rd

Such, therefore, are the reasons for the feast of Pentecost: the coming of the All-holy Spirit into the world, the completion of the Lord Jesus Christ's promise, and the fulfillment of the hope of the sacred disciples, which we celebrate today. This is the final feast of the great mystery and dispensation of God's incarnation. On this last, and great, and saving day of Pentecost, the Apostles of the Savior, who were unlearned fishermen, made wise now of a sudden by the Holy Spirit, clearly and with divine authority spoke

the heavenly doctrines. They became heralds of the truth and teachers of the whole world. On this day they were ordained and began their apostleship, of which the salvation of those three thousand souls in one day was the comely and marvelous first fruit.

That which came to pass at Pentecost, then, was the ordination of the Apostles, the commencement of the apostolic preaching to the nations, and the inauguration of the priesthood of the new Israel.

Therefore, together with the baptism of the Holy Spirit which came upon them who were present in the upper chamber, which the Lord had foretold as recorded in the Acts, "ye shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days hence" (Acts 1:5), the Apostles were also appointed and raised to the high priestly rank, according to Saint John Chrysostom. On this day commenced the celebration of the Holy Eucharist by which we become "partakers of the Divine Nature" (II Peter 1:4). For before Pentecost, it is said of the Apostles and disciples only that they abode in "prayer and supplication" (Acts 1:14); it is only after the coming of the Holy Spirit that they persevered in the "breaking of bread," that is, the communion of the Holy Mysteries- "and in prayer" (Acts 2:42).

ΑΓΙΟΣ ΚΩΝΣΤΑΝΤΙΝΟΣ 21 Μαϊου

Ο Μέγας Κωνσταντίνος γεννήθηκε το

274 μ.Χ. Πατέρας του ήταν ο

Κωνστάντιος ο Α΄ ο Χλωρός και μητέρα

του η Ελένη, απο το Δρέπανο της

Βιθυνίας. Ο Κωνσταντίνος απο 18

χρονών έγινε στρατιωτικός και, χάρη

στην ανδρεία του, τιμήθηκε με τα

ανώτερα αξιώματα του στρατού. Ήταν

αυτός, που με το χριστιανικό

σταυροειδές λάβαρο με το ελληνόγραμμα "εν τούτω νίκα",

κατατρόπωσε τα στρατεύματα του Μαξεντίου και έπειτα του

Λικινίου. Επίσης, ήταν ο πρώτος αυτοκράτωρ που ευνόησε την

Εκκλησία, μετά απο τρείς αιώνες ανελέητου διωγμού. Μετέφερε την

πρωτεύουσα του κράτος του στο αρχαίο βυζάντιο, και εκεί έκτισε τη

βασίλισσα των πόλεων, την Κωνσταντινούπολη. Στο τέλος, ο

Κωνσταντίνος αξιώθηκε και του Αγίου Βαπτίσματος, και αμέσως

μετά είπε: "Νύν αληθεί λόγω μακάριον οίδ΄ εμαυτόν, νύν της

αθανάτου ζωής πεφάναι άξιον, νύν του θείου μετειληφέναι φωτός

πεπίστευκα". Τώρα, δηλαδή, σύμφωνα με το λόγο της αλήθειας,

ξέρω ότι είμαι μακάριος, τώρα έχω γίνει άξιος της αθανάτου ζωής,

τώρα έχω πιστέψει πώς έλαβα το θείο φώς. Ο Μέγας Κωνσταντίνος

πέθανε σε ηλικία 63 ετών (21 Μαΐου 337). Η δε μητέρα του Ελένη,

που συνεορτάζεται με το γιό της, ήταν αυτή που βρήκε τον Τίμιο

Σταυρό στους Αγίους Τόπους και έδωσε στο Μέγα Κωνσταντίνο την

πρέπουσα διαπαιδαγώγηση. Άλλωστε, και ο ίδιος την τίμησε, όταν

στη μεγάλη πλατεία της Κωνσταντινούπολης έκτισε δύο στήλες, μία

δική του και μία της Ελένης, που έφερε την επιγραφή: "Είς Άγιος είς

Κύριος Ιησούς Χριστός, είς δόξαν Θεού Πατρός, Αμήν".

Page 15: May 2010assumptionem.org/Pages/Agape News Archive/Agape News 2010 May.pdfAnthony and Joan Stopoulos Jim and Kristel Stopoulos Bill and Tracey Theofilis Kostas Theofilis John and Tricia

ΚΥΡΙΑΚΗ ΤΗΣ ΑΓΙΑΣ ΠΕΝΤΗΚΟΣΤΗΣ 23 Μαϊου

Μετά την Ανάληψη του Κυρίου στους

ουρανούς, οι Απόστολοι και οι υπόλοιποι

μαθητές του, καθώς και οι γυναίκες που

απο την αρχή τον είχαν ακολουθήσει, η

Παναγία Παρθένος Μαρία η Μητέρα του

και τα αδέλφια του, περίπου όλοι μαζί 120

άτομα, γύρισαν απο το όρος των Ελαιών

στην Ιερουσαλήμ και, μπαίνοντας στο

σπίτι όπου έμεναν, ανέβηκαν στο υπερώο, δηλαδή στον πάνω

όροφο του σπιτιού και εκεί, περίμεναν με προσευχή την

επιφοίτηση του Αγίου Πνεύματος, σύμφωνα με την υπόσχεση του

Σωτήρα Χριστού. Στο μεταξή εκεί, εξέλεξαν και τον Ματθία και

τον συναρίθμησαν με τους ένδεκα Αποστόλους.

ΚΥΡΙΑΚΗ ΤΩΝ ΑΓΙΩΝ ΠΑΝΤΩΝ 30 Μαϊου

Τον κάθε ένα απο τους γνωστούς Αγίους, τιμούμε ειδικά σε κάποια μέρα του χρόνου. Επειδή όμως πολλοί μας είναι άγνωστοι και ο αριθμός τους πολλαπλασιάστηκε κατά καιρούς, γι΄ αυτό η Εκκλησία όρισε, μια συγκεκριμένη γιορτή. Έτσι λοιπόν την ημέρα αυτή, τιμάμε με ευλάβεια όλους τους Δικαίους, Προφήτες, Όσιους, άνδρες και γυναίκες μαζί, γνωστούς και άγνωστους, όσους απο τον Αδάμ μέχρι τώρα απεβίωσαν με ευσέβεις και με τα καλά τους έργα

δόξασαν τον Θεό. Αυτούς όλους και αυτές επίσης τις στρατιές των Αγγέλων, πρίν απ΄ αυτούς δε και μαζί με όλους την Παναγία Θεοτόκο και αειπάρθενο Μαρία, τιμάμε σήμερα με την παρούσα γιορτή, προβάλλοντας τη ζωή της σαν παράδειγμα αρετής. Και παρακαλούμε όλους αυτούς τους Αγίους να πρεσβεύουν στον Θεό για μας προκειμένου η χάρη και το άπειρο έλεός Του να είναι μαζί με όλους μας.
