Twenty Second Sunday after Pentecost Jesus casts out the demons

November 11, 2015

Remember your Baptism!

Remember your asceticism!

Remember your call from Christ!

Unless one is born again He cannot enter the Kingdom of God!

The True Bread of God is He Who comes down from Heaven and gives life to the world!

If you will follow Me, Deny yourself take up your cross and Follow Me!

Care for the Soul from the Scriptures (from The Orthodox Study Bible)

In the Epistle Readings for this past week (from Colossians) St Paul uses Baptism as his backdrop where he counters the practices of the heretics with the practices of the Early Church: True mysticism, True asceticism, and True Liturgical experience.

True mysticism: Christians both have received Christ's exalted resurrection life in Baptism, and need to keep on seeking the ultimate and spiritual glories of the age to come. Remember your baptism! Live according to His Resurrection! Seek your True Life in Christ, awaiting the Heavenly Glorious final Revelation!

True asceticism: As baptized Christians, we are becoming in practice what we are already in spirit. As we died in Christ, so we must will to experience death daily by 'killing' old sinful and disintegrating passions. As we were raised with Christ, so we must will to experience life daily by the virtuous and unifying desires of the new man we all are in the body of Christ.

True Liturgical Experience: Note how the liturgy of worship can be experienced as divine through the unity and holiness of the Church—the One New Man in Christ. Worship is experienced in the word of Christ, including the Scriptures and their exposition; the hymns and spiritual songs; the Eucharist (giving thanks to God).
