Troparion:

Your voice resounds throughout the world

which has accepted the lessons so well

taught by you. You have gotten explanation

to divine truths. You have clarified the

nature of created things. You made a rule

of life for men. By your royal priesthood,

O venerable father Basil, intercede with

Christ to save our souls.

Troparion:

O Jesus, enthroned on high together with

Your eternal Father and Divine Spirit, You

condescended to be born on earth of a

maiden and virgin mother. And on the eighth

day, You were circumcised. Glory be to

Your most noble decision; glory be to Your

plan of salvation; glory be to Your

condescension, O Lord; You alone love

mankind.

Troparion:

At Your baptism in the Jordan, O Lord,

worship of the Trinity was revealed, for the

Father's voice bore witness to You, calling

You His beloved Son, and the Spirit in the

form of a dove confirmed the truth of these

words. O Christ God, Who appeared and

enlightened the world, glory be to You!.

The Naming of Our Lord Jesus Christ - St. Basil the

Great, Theophany

- The Naming of Our Lord Jesus Christ

On the 8th day after His birth, Jesus was circumcised

and named according to the precepts of the Jewish law

prescribed in Genesis 12; 10, and Leviticus 12; 3 as a sign

of God's covenant with Abraham. After this ritual, he is

given the name 'Yeshua-Jesus'-He who rescues-delivers

-Yahweh saves.'. In Scripture, the name also indicates a

function. Jesus is the Savior of the world. The Lord

underwent this ritual to fulfill the precepts of the Jewish

law, and that He truly assumed human flesh.

The ritual of circumcision would give way to Baptism

which it prefigured (Colossians 2; 11-12). When we are

baptized and are part of the New Covenant-the Church. At

baptism we are given a name to remind us that we have

entered the New Covenant with God. The name 'Christian'

is a sign of mankind's entrance into a New Covenant with

God.

St. Basil the Great 329-379

St. Basil was born in 329 in Cappadocia in Asia Minor

(modern Turkey) to virtuous, wealthy parents, St. Basil the

Elder and St. Emelia. Basil visited various monasteries in

Egypt, Palestine, and Syria to learn about the monastic life.

Basil sold his possessions and divided the proceeds among

the poor and with a small group of friends he established a

monastic community not far from his family's estate at

Anesi in the province of Pontus. They lived and prayed

together as a community. He established the Long Rules

and Short Rules, of monastic life based on the Evangelical

Counsels. He established many monastic communities and

used his inheritance to help the poor and established

hospitals called 'Basiliades'. Basil's idea of monasticism

would become a school of Christian perfection and would

later be adopted by St. Benedict in the West.

Basil would be ordained priest, and in 370 he was

consecrated bishop of Caesaria in Cappadocia, directing his

work to unity of the Church, fighting the Arian heresy

which denied the divinity of Christ, and strengthening the

Christian spirit in the faithful. He achieved this by

composing a treatise on the divinity of the Holy Spirit,

introduced strict discipline among his clergy, organized

charitable institutions and revived liturgical worship. He

died on January 1, 379, and his imprint on the Church

remains to this day. Justly, he was named 'the Great'.

The Holy Theophany of Our Lord God

and Savior Jesus Christ

'The earth, O Word of God, has been made holy by Your

holy birth; the heavens with the stars proclaimed Your

glory. Now water's nature is blessed by Your bodily

baptism and earthborn's race has returned again to its

former higher estate.'

"God is light and in Him there is no darkness

at all." (1 John 1; 5) The feast of the Theophany

- the revelation of God-is sometimes called the 'Feast of

Lights', and is connected with the Nativity. Jesus Christ,

the Son of God is the Light of the world and the 'Sun of

Righteousness' is God made flesh, revealed to the world.

The Theophany is the baptism of Jesus and the revelation of

the Trinity. 'He who covers Himself with light as a

garment…today is covered by the streams of the Jordan.'

Jesus had no need for cleansing, but He does so in order to

regenerate us. One of the ancient names for baptism was

'Photismos', or 'Enlightenment'. Jesus Christ is the Light

and brought us the light of the knowledge of God, through

the sacramental mystery of Baptism which washes away

our sins and makes us members of the Church.

In our Ukrainian Christian tradition, the waters are

solemnly blessed in a solemn elaborate ceremony after the

Divine Liturgy, either in the church or on the bank of a lake

or river. The faithful bring the blessed water home, bless

their homes and farms and livestock with it, and later ask

the priest to come and bless the home. The faithful partake

of during the Schedrij Vechir-Abundant-Generous

Eve-Supper. The blessing of the waters liturgically and

ritually celebrate Jesus' Baptism, and reminds us of

our baptism. Also we are reminded of the baptism or

Rus'-Ukraine by Grand Prince Volodymyr the Great. The

River Dnipro in which the people of Kyiv were baptized

became the 'Ukrainian Jordan'.

I would like to thank all the Ladies of Our Lady of

Perpetual Help for all their hard work this year. They have

made improvements to our church for us from the new

flooring, cushions and kneelers to the most recent

donation of the new beautiful Christmas tree for the

Blessed Mother and the new American and Ukrainian flags.

They also clean the altar every week and strive to keep our

parish moving.

This month, they hosted a Christmas Party for our

Parish, which 90 people attended. They raised $650 from

a raffle of which $500 was donated towards our church

heating bill and $100 to feed the poor. They constantly

work for our church and all of us.

We are looking for new members to join the Sodality,

so if you are interested, please contact our church office for

more information.
