The Edict The Edict of Milan was signed by St. Constantine in 313 AD as the first act of religious freedom

“I pray that you may have the

power to comprehend, with all

the saints, what s the breadth

and length and height and

depth, and to know the love of

Christ that surpasses

knowledge...” Eph. 3:18-19

In an age where the

knowledge of subject matter

becomes easily accessible by

simply completing an engine

search on google or any other

browser, does the knowledge

of God matter anymore?

This brief article will focus on the value of pursuing

knowledge in God. It will sug-

gest mechanisms that a Chris-

tian may you use to come to a

greater knowledge of faith.

Sometimes, I will play

“Words with friends” on line.

It is an electronic version of the

game Scrabble. When I am

stuck on a word (and yes this

is a confession), I will pause

the game and google on line

words such as a five letter

word that begins with the let-

ter K.

With answers to many ques-

tions made readily available at

the push of a button, is God

becoming extinct?

St. Paul in his letter to the Ro-

mans, describes a not so good

scenario when people lost a

true knowledge of God.

“People did not think it was

important to have a true

knowledge of God. So God

left them and allowed them to

have their own worthless think-

ing and to do things they

should not do.” RM1:28

There is no doubt that tech-

nology is here to stay. The

wisdom of God is so infinite

that through science and all disciplines the person has the

great potential of the next gen-

eration of inventions and dis-

coveries.

This bring the article to it’s

second point. In today’s mod-

ern world, Why does one stay

connected to God? How does

a person do a search engine of

God’s will?

When a person is searching

for God’s will in their life will

the great web be the source of

discernment and divine inspira-

tion. When a person is

searching for forgiveness can

safari or firefox be the divine

power that restores a person’s

soul to health. St. Paul, speak-

ing on the knowledge of God

says the following: Yes, God’s

riches are very great, and his

wisdom and knowledge have

no end! No one can explain

the things God decides or un-

derstand his ways. RM 11:33

The need, the desire, the rea-

son to stay connected to God is

even greater today than at any

other time in the history of the

world.

How does one google God?

How does a person stay con-

nected to God’s web? Here

are some methods of main-

taining a connection with God.

The Holy Communion one re-

ceives during the Divine Litur-

gy, by God’s grace, allows a faithful person to stay connect-

ed (in communion) with God.

Reading the Bible, and yes, one

may do it online,lol, keeps the

information and knowledge of

God coming forth at all times.

Bowing down on one’s knees

and humbly praying is a great

search engine for God’s will in

a Christian’s life. A spiritual

guide in one’s life may surely

make up for anything that Siri

might say.

The church is not interested

in negating technology. Allow

history to be a great teacher

and do not, however, replace

God with technology. Just for a

point of information, this news-

letter will be available on the

church’s website and someone

may google it from anywhere

around the world, lol!

The President’s Message

Dear fellow Parishioners,

I hope this message

finds you well. Since my last

update there are many new

and exciting developments in

our community and it is my

pleasure to share them with

you.

First, I need to men-

tion that this is the greatest

community one can ever be

a part of. It continually amaz-

es me that together, we ac-

complish so much. As we all

know, on any given weekend

there are many events lined

up at the same time and yet

this small community, filled

with the greatest people on

earth, always find a way to

make each one successful.

Recently, we had our eighth

grade graduation while the

children from our school

sang the National Anthem at

Citi field. Both were a

smashing successes. There

are many more examples

such as this. My point is that

by working together,

through commitment and

dedication, our community

reaps the rewards.

In other news, in late

May our GOYAns went on a

weekend getaway to Wash-

ington DC. They visited sev-

eral monuments, museums

and the White House. They

also went to St. Sophia’s dur-

ing their annual festival. Our

GOYAns, in addition to eat-

ing well, beautifully danced

to a live Greek band. High-

lighting the trip was the

priest mentioning their

―guests hailing all the way

from BKLYN…..NAK‖ dur-

ing Sunday services!

During the Archdio-

ceses’ Olympics, also in late

May, all of our children per-

formed extremely well. We

received gold, silver, and

bronze metals once again

putting us at the top. Our

children showed a great love

for the games and played

with heart. True Champions!

Over the first week

of June, we held our annual

festival. I am pleased to an-

nounce that we broke all

previous records grossing

just over $136,000. BRAVO

to all our volunteers and our

festival committee for all the

hard work and dedication. It

was really special to have

support from our GOYA,

Philoptochos, past graduates,

the PTO, and many others

who stepped up to the plate

to ensure the success of this

event. Again I can only ex-

press a heartfelt thank you.

Switching to news at A. Fan-

tis, we had another success-

ful school year. At this point,

it is time to discuss the fu-

ture. In order to strive for

academic excellence, we

must continue adhering to

high standards and plan

ahead. With this in mind, I

am happy to announce Maria

Perdik-Zolotas as the new,

next-generation Principal of

our beloved school.

This appointment is

the culmination of the work

of a committee formed in

search of a replacement for

the evident day of Dr.

Farkouh’s retirement after

many years of dedicated ser-

vice. Dr. Farkouh will contin-

ue in her role as our School

principal until the end of De-

cember at which point Mrs.

Perdik-Zolotas will begin her

tenure as the children return

from the holiday break.

I wish you all a

healthy and happy summer.

May God bless and keep you

safe.

Under the then presidency of the Board of Trustees, Elias Seremetis, and with the dy-namic chairmanship of Peter Vlitas and Jim Tampakis, the 100th Anniversary Gala of the Cathedral of SS Constantine and Helen was a tremendous success. Over 600 guests attended a truly memora-ble night. Alumni of the A Fantis School had the opportunity to enjoy the company of their classmates. May our great God, Jesus Christ, to the glo-ry of His Father and by the power of the Ho-ly Spirit, lay His benevolent hand upon the Cathedral, to guide and energize the Greek community into the next centennial.

Η Μεταμόρφωσης του Σωτήρος -Αγίου Λουκά Αρχιεπισκόπου Κριμαίας

Η μεγάλη γιορτή της Μεταμορφώσεως του Κυρίου μας δίνει την αφορμή να θυμηθούμε τα λόγια του Κυ

ρίου μας Ιησού Χριστού:«Ου πιστεύεις ότι εγώ εν τω πατρί και ο πατήρ εν εμοί εστι; τα ρήματα α εγώ

λαλώ υμίν, απ' εμαυτού ου λαλώ. ο δε πατήρ ο εν εμοί μένων αυτός ποιεί τα έργα. Πιστεύετέ μοι ότι

εγώ εν τω πατρί και ο πατήρ εν εμοί. ει δε μη, διά τα έργα αυτά πιστεύετέ μοι» (Ιωάν. 14, 10-11).Μεγάλα

και αμέτρητα ήταν τα θαύματα του Κυρίου μας Ιησού Χριστού: με ένα μόνο λόγο του ανέστησε την κόρη

του Ιαείρου, του αρχισυναγώγου, τον γιο της χήρας της Ναΐν, ακόμα και τον Λάζαρο, ο οποίος ήταν στον

τάφο τέσσερεις ολόκληρες ημέρες. Με ένα λόγο του μόνο επιτίμησε τους ανέμους και τα κύματα της

λίμνης Γεννησαρέτ και έγινε απόλυτη γαλήνη. Με πέντε ψωμιά και δύο ψάρια χόρτασε πέντε χιλιάδες

ανθρώπους, χωρίς γυναίκες και παιδιά, και με τέσσερα ψωμιά τέσσερεις χιλιάδες.Ας θυμηθούμε πως

κάθε μέρα θεράπευε τους ασθενείς, γιατρεύοντας κάθε είδους ασθένεια, έδιωχνε τα πονηρά πνεύματα

από τους δαιμονιζομένους. Πως ξαναέδινε την όραση στους τυφλούς και την ακοή στους κουφούς με

ένα μόνο άγγιγμά του. Δεν φτάνουν αυτά;Όλα αυτά όμως δεν ήταν αρκετά για τους ανθρώπους οι

οποίοι τον ζήλευαν, για τους ανθρώπους για τους οποίους ο μέγας προφήτης Ησαΐας είπε:«Ακοή

ακούσετε και ου συνήτε, και βλέποντες βλέψετε και ου μη ίδητε. επαχύνθη γαρ η καρδία του λαού

τούτου, και τοις ωσί βαρέως ήκουσαν, και τους οφθαλμούς αυτών εκάμμυσαν, μήποτε ίδωσι τοις

οφθαλμοίς και τοις ωσίν ακούσωσι και τη καρδία συνώσι και επιστρέψωσι, και ιάσομαι αυτούς» (Ματθ.

13, 14-15). Σε όλα αυτά, τα οποία όμως δεν ήταν αρκετά για τους βαρήκοους ανθρώπους και με τα

συσκοτισμένα μάτια, πρόσθεσε ο Κύριός μας Ιησούς Χριστός το μέγα θαύμα της Μεταμορφώσεώς Του

στο όρος Θαβώρ. Σ' αυτόν, που έλαμψε με ένα εκθαμβωτικό θείο φως, εμφανίστηκαν οι προφήτες της

Παλαιάς Διαθήκης, ο Μωυσής και ο Ηλίας και προσκύνησαν τον δημιουργό του νόμου. Με φόβο και

τρόμο έβλεπαν το θαυμαστό αυτό θέαμα οι εκλεκτοί απόστολοι Πέτρος, Ιάκωβος και Ιωάννης. Και μετά

από τη νεφέλη, που τους σκέπασε, ακούστηκε η φωνή του Θεού:«Ούτος εστιν ο Υιός μου ο αγαπητός, εν

ω ευδόκησα. αυτού ακούετε» (Ματθ. 17, 5).Οι άγιοι απόστολοι κήρυξαν σ' όλο τον κόσμο, ότι ο Κύριός

μας Ιησούς Χριστός είναι «αληθώς, του Πατρός το απαύγασμα».Ο κόσμος ολόκληρος, όταν το άκουσε,

θα έπρεπε να γονατίσει μπροστά στον Κύριο Ιησού Χριστό και να προσκυνήσει τον Αληθινό Υιό του

Θεού.Θα έπρεπε η εμφάνιση στο Θαβώρ των δύο πιο μεγάλων προφητών της Παλαιάς Διαθήκης και η

προσκύνηση του Κυρίου Ιησού Χριστού κατά την μεταμόρφωσή του, να κλείσει για πάντα τα βδελυρά

χείλη των γραμματέων και των φαρισαίων, οι οποίοι μισούσαν τον Κύριο Ιησού και τον θεωρούσαν

παραβάτη του νόμου του Μωυσή. Αλλά και μέχρι σήμερα δεν πιστεύουν οι Εβραίοι ότι Αυτός είναι ο

Μεσσίας.Όχι μόνο οι Εβραίοι δεν τον πιστεύουν, αλλά και για πολλούς χριστιανούς όλο και περισσότερο

θαμπώνει το θείο φως του Κυρίου μας Ιησού Χριστού. Ακόμα μικρότερο γίνεται το μικρό ποίμνιο του

Χριστού για το οποίο το θείο φως του Χριστού λάμπει με την ίδια δύναμη με την οποίαν έλαμψε στους

αποστόλους Πέτρο, Ιάκωβο και Ιωάννη τότε στο όρος Θαβώρ.Όμως να μην απελπιζόμαστε, επειδή ο

Κύριός μας Ιησούς Χριστός είπε:«Μη φοβού το μικρόν ποίμνιον. ότι ευδόκησεν ο πατήρ υμών δούναι

υμίν την βασιλείαν» (Λκ. 12, 32).Η απιστία μεταξύ των λαών έλαβε ανησυχητικές διαστάσεις και το φως

του Χριστού επισκιάστηκε από το σκοτεινό νέφος της αθεΐας. Σήμερα πιο συχνά από ποτέ

ενθυμούμαστε το φοβερό λόγο του Χριστού:«Πλην ο Υιός του ανθρώπου ελθών άρα ευρήσει την πίστιν

επί της γης;» (Λκ. 18, 8). Να μην απελπιζόμαστε όμως, επειδή Εκείνος, λέγοντας για τα σημεία της

δευτέρας παρουσίας του, είπε:«Αρχομένων δε τούτων γίνεσθαι ανακύψατε και επάρατε τας κεφάλας

υμών, διότι εγγίζει η απολύτρωσις υμών» (Λκ. 21, 28). Να είναι, λοιπόν, η ζωή σας τέτοια ώστε την

φοβερή ημέρα της Κρίσεως να μπορέσουμε να σηκώσουμε το κεφάλι μας και όχι να το σκύψουμε βαθειά

απελπισμένοι. Αμήν.

Απολυτίκιον.

Μετεμορφώθης εν τω Όρει, Χριστέ ο Θεός, δείξας τοις Μαθηταίς σου την δόξαν σου, καθώς

ηδύναντο. Λάμψον και ημίν τοις αμαρτωλοίς, το φως σου το αΐδιον, πρεσβείαις της Θεοτόκου.

Φωτοδότα, δόξα σοι.

Γιατί τιμάμε τους Αγίους;

Τιμάμε τους Αγίους όχι ως θρησκευτικούς ήρωες , γιατί αυτό θα ήταν ειδωλολατρία, αλλά ως

ζωντανά παραδείγματα βιώσεως της εν Χριστώ ανακαίνισης του ανθρώπου, ως «φώτα

θεουργικά», ως φίλους αληθινούς του Θεού, ως κοινωνούς των παθημάτων και της δόξας του

Χριστού, αλλά και ως οδηγούς των πιστών «εις πάσαν την αλήθειαν εν Πνεύματι Αγίω ».
