The opening proclamation of the Divine Liturgy is the announce-

ment of our destination and goal in life: the kingdom of God -- and the liturgy is our pilgrimage toward His kingdom and a participation in His kingdom. This announcement brings out the ultimate choice that the Lord Jesus asks everyone to make: Do I “seek first the kingdom of

God and His righteousness” (Matthew 6:33)? We begin the Divine Liturgy by saying, “Blessed is the kingdom of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit” because following Jesus means that we have to set the kingdom of God as the highest priority in our lives.

WHAT IS THE GREAT LITANY?The Divine Liturgy is a school of prayer, teaching us how to pray and what to pray for. The Great Litany is a series of requests to God at the beginning of the liturgy. The very first thing we pray for in the Great Litany is for “the peace of God that surpasses all understanding” (Phi-lippians 4:7) to be given to us, a state of inner peace, the ridding of our minds and hearts of every obsession and anxiety, all hostile feelings and fear, in order to worship the living God in a state of inner calm, trust-ing attentiveness and quiet joy. The liturgy becomes for us a bit disjointed if we have not received God’s peace, this “peace from above”. Faithful Orthodox Christians make it a point to be present at the beginning of the Divine Liturgy, for they know the windfall of grace that shall accom-pany them throughout the service and beyond. Once God has granted His peace to us then we are more ca-pable of leaving the many agitations of life behind and enter deeper into the depths of the liturgy. The Divine Liturgy is incredibly more meaning-ful and solicits more of our potential as human beings when we are present from the beginning.

W HY DO W E SAY “LOR D, HAVE MERCY” SO OFTEN IN THE LITURGY?

The short answer is: because we take the words of the Bible seriously as a model for our prayer, whether we’re praying together as a com-munity or personally. “Lord, have

mercy” is based on the cry of the blind man sitting along the side of the road near Jericho: “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.” (Luke 18:38); the cry of the 10 lepers for healing: “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.” (Luke 17:13); and the prayer of the tax collector in the parable that the Lord Jesus told “to some who were confident of their own righteous-ness and looked down on everyone else” about the tax collector and the Phari-see: “God, have mercy on me, a sinner.” (Luke 18:14). “Lord, have mercy” is a prayer that engenders humility, enables us to see ourselves more clearly -- and therefore be less harsh and judgmental of others.

COMMEMORATING… ALL THE SAINTSThroughout the liturgy we are asked to “commemorate…all the saints” begin-ning with “the Theotokos and ever-virgin Mary” and her “yes” to God’s plan for her life (Luke 1:38); and then, like all of them, to commit “our whole life to Christ our God.” The saints are those men and women who, through-out the centuries and in every culture, have loved God and borne witness to the Good News of Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit, and remained faithful to Him to the end, often at the cost of their own lives. They are people who have been transformed by their faith and truly are the “real deal” as Christians. They are men and women from every generation who have been canonized, i.e. set up as models of what it means to truly follow Christ and be faithful to Him, seeking and striving for His kingdom as their first priority in life (Matthew 6:33).

When we speak of Saints Peter and Paul and the apostles, Saints Katherine, Irene and Barbara the martyrs, Saints Basil, John Chrysostom and Nektarios the bishops, we are speaking of people who chose to live their lives in complete dedication to God, never betraying their innermost beliefs and striving to live with integrity and honesty, no matter what the cost. To know the saints is to deepen our relationship with their Master and ours -- the Lord Jesus.

WHY DO WE “COMMEMORATE” THE VIRGIN MARY AND CALL HER THEOTOKOS?The Virgin Mary is the Mother of the Messiah, our Savior and King, the Mother of the Lord Jesus, the Theotokos or Mother of God. The theological signifi-cance of this title for Mary lies in the fact that in the womb of this teen-aged girl the Word of God, who was with God and was God from all eternity, and through whom all things were cre-ated, became flesh and dwelt among us (John 1:1-3, 14). Theotokos as a title for the Virgin Mary is found in ancient Christian writings and is used for the first time in surviving documents by an early Christian scholar named Origen (185-254 A.D). Theotokos was officially proclaimed as a title to be used by Chris-tians to describe the Virgin Mary at the Third Ecumenical Council held in the ancient city of Ephesus in 431A.D.

WHERE DOES THE WORD “AMEN” COME FROM AND WHAT DOES IT MEAN?The word “Amen” is an ancient Hebrew word used throughout the liturgy. It is always an affirmation of the certainty and truth of what has just been said. Most simply, it means “Yes!” Amen is our “Yes” to God. The Hebrew root means “to be firm, confirmed, to be reliable.” We find the word “amen” used by the apostle Paul to end two of his letters (Romans 15:33; Galatians 6:18); and it is the very last word of the Bible, closing it like a seal: “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen!” (Revelation 22:21). Thus, when we say amen, we are expressing our assent and confirming that which is said in the Scriptures and the liturgy as being true and the foundation on which we build our lives. Father Lev Gillet writes that “…in saying ‘Amen!’ our whole life and being are engaged in an act of faith and ardent trust.” To say this word is to re-affirm our commitment to Christ and His message of salvation.

“Keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ

to bring you to eternal life.”

(Jude 1:21)

“To know the saints is to deepen our relationship with their Master and ours

– the Lord Jesus.”

The Promise ^ September 2017 ^ Volume 41, Issue 7 3

In each verse, “O Lord, Help Me” fol-lows a three-lined pattern of discourse, pre-empted always by the unspoken repetition of its title, which is, of course, the crux of the poem. The poet fools us by not restating it as we read the verses, but it looms large and larger as we see into the souls of the lines. We are the narrators, pleading for a meaning-ful way of life, though it isn’t clear at the outset. It is made most clear, if it hasn’t done so earlier, by its concluding word—“AMEN—telling us that the poem is our prayer and a hopeful plea for God’s intervention into our hearts and minds, thus concluding with “O Lord, Help Me.”

First, the prayer presents significant generalizations, hoped-for goals, targets for finding meaning and coping with our very existence. Among them are “in” silence, suffering, and knowledge, and ending with “in” problems, leader-ship and challenges, all meaningful concerns in life. Each of these condi-tions focuses on what makes us human, vital beings, what is important to us, or should be. They invite us to examine our values, to take a profound look at what motivates us. These first lines are objective renderings of life’s concerns.

In the second lines, all beginning with the infinitive “to find,” the poet offers us the ideal, the Lord’s way, a broad yet

deep rendering of what good action to take, whether it be in thought or deed. These frequently raise our sights to what is virtuous, thoughtful, and even majestic. It is as if God is speaking di-rectly to us as individuals about doing “His will,” whether it be to find hope, forgiveness or trust. Taking us out of our petty selves into the transcendent, the poem suggests a higher level of living, one that is beyond the mundane into the sublime.

Nonetheless, in each of the final lines of the tercets, the poet, using “-not just,” attempts a warning contrast showing us our prosaic, common and most often uninspiring conclusions to the big ques-

“O Lord, Help Me”My Daily Orthodox Prayer Book

Interesting, informative, and sensitive, poetry and religion often go together. One only has to look at the Bible to see how effectively this works. Consider reading “Song of Songs,” the Psalms, the parables,

and the Gospels of St. Luke and St. John, to feel the impact of both the word and the image. This same connection is experienced in the compendium included in Fr. Anthony M. Coniaris’ My Daily Orthodox Prayer Book (Light & Life, 2001), made up of various prayers of Orthodox worship.

Among all the prayers contained within this book, one entitled, “O Lord, help me”, is most meaningful.

Altar Boy MeetingSaturday, September 16 • 9:30AM

On Saturday, Sept. 16 an altar boy meeting will be held beginning at 9:30 AM. All altar boys and those who would like to begin to serve, aged 13 or older, are asked to be in the altar and robed by 9:15 AM. Following the meeting, altar boys are invited for breakfast.

tions of life, mere shadows of what they could be. At best, these repre-sent the compromises that we make even thinking ourselves noble, at times. Notwithstanding, this third aspect of the poem drops us from the exalted possibility of the second lines to the wearisome reality of who we have become. Often punctuated by our short-sighted response to life’s problems, they still can act as forewarnings that unless heeded, lead us into more anxiety than en-lightenment. Based on pragmatism, it takes us deeper into our struggles, rather than out of them. Thus, it would seem that the prodigious and enigmatic issues are at worst, not resolved; however, at best they may act as portents or alarms urging posi-tive outcomes. These lines force us to rethink our ways and goals.

It’s at this point that the poet masterfully interjects the hyphen (-) and those limiting words, “not just,” thus emphasizing the inadequacy of the responses. It distinctly forces us to pause, to hesitate and to reflect on the inadequacies of what follows, pointing out that our responses are false or at least incomplete ones. These effectively take us back to the second lines, and by the end, we are uplifted, even searching for more of these life-lessons. Curiously, the cadence of the poem leads us to want more parallels.

Finally, the poet uses minimal tools of prosody to deliver his com-passionate message--Omission (of the key passage “O Lord, Help Me” for God’s intervention), the repeti-tive infinitive “to find” (of the iconic ideal), and then, almost in ironic contrast, “-not just” (of the journey we must pause to take to reach the ideal). Finally, in the poet’s conclud-ing word—“AMEN”—we recognize that this is both a confessional prayer and one of praise. A final final word: Perhaps this is illustrative of the need for the ongoing examination of our souls, our consciences, and our acts. Amen.

On Sunday, September 24, the Fifth Annual Stewardship Family Picnic & BBQ will be held immediately after Sunday School. All Stewards of Holy Trinity are invited for a day of thanksgiving to God for our wonderful and Christ-centered community of Holy Trinity. Please prepare to receive Holy Communion as a family. By offering ourselves to Christ and receiving Him, we become united with one another and God; through this linkage we make our parish stronger in faith and love.

The Parish Council will offer the main course for the picnic; you are asked to bring a side-dish or salad, snacks, dessert to share.

TRUECHRISTIAN STEWARDSHIP

A Spiritual Dimension

True Christian Stewardship is a subject we should always review

for there are clear spiritual implica-tions associated with our attitude and approach towards it. The foundation of Christian Stewardship is not in the “giv-ing” of money per se but in the faithful management of every God-given gift.

First off we must ask, what is Stew-ardship? Stewardship comes from the Greek word "oikonomia", or eco¬nomy, which means management of the house or household. In the New Testament, it means man's management of his whole life in response to God's love.

Man is a steward, a manager of the time, talents and treasures that God has gifted him. We must remember that God is the Creator, Giver, and Main-tainer of our lives and without Him we could have no gifts whatsoever. As Cre-ator, God gives us time so that our very existence might be a reflection of His glory. As Giver of all gifts, He grants to us certain abilities and talents that are further developed on this earth in order to honor His name. As Maintainer, He provides for our needs by affording us opportunities to earn a living and thus

return to Him by extension the first-fruits of our labor.

If we truly believe that God is the Giver and the Owner of all things, and that we are His managers, then it fol-lows that a Steward trusts the Bible's direc¬tions on how to manage these gifts. God expects us to manage His gifts of time, talents and treasures accord-ing to His will. While employing these gifts in our lives, we are to return glory to Him.

In 2 Corinthians 8:3-5 St. Paul writes: "they gave according to their means as I can testify and beyond their means, of their own free will...but first they gave of themselves to the Lord and to us by the will of God."

The essence of Stewardship is that we first give ourselves to God and then

seek to do His will as His servants. Unless our hearts are surrendered to Christ, then we will find it difficult to do His will. We can only become His servants by accepting His lordship over our lives.

The Lord has given us plenty of time to inspire others, to touch their hearts, to lift their souls, to ease their pain, to carry their burdens, all the while work-ing out our own salvation.

We use our treasures, our income, to glorify His name. A percentage of our income, according to the Bible, is to be used for the work of God on earth. By sharing our earthly treasures with the Lord, we become co-workers with Him in the work of salvation and begin to store up treasures in heaven.

Unless our hearts are in Christ and surrended to Him, then we will find it difficult to do His will.


Stewardship, the management of God's gifts, is the method by which Christ ians should support their Church. It is only sensible to return a portion of God’s gifts to His Church; after all, these belong to Him in the first place.

The terms parish “obligations” or “dues” are dismissive of God’s pre-eminence and are just bad theology. Generally, ignorance or the lack of ecclesiastical knowledge leads one to speak using such terms. This is not Stewardship because these systems stagnate a community with “fixed” fees and limit a steward’s capability and re-sponse to God. Just as God’s blessings are never fixed nor regulated so should be our giving. Our Lord is limitless and beyond human comprehension. Our Stewardship should be a reflection of this boundless love. It should be open, free-flowing, and continuous; isn’t this what we expect concerning God’s love and mercy.

Proportional giving is the more ap-propriate and Christian way of giving. I like to view Stewardship as working

in God’s fields of life and giving to Him the first-fruits of these fields. Stewardship reminds us that we labor in another’s field. When the harvest finally arrives, we indeed, and with joy, may reap the benefits of our work but only after we have returned a portion of the harvest to the Owner of the fields. To hold back the first-fruits and a fair-share is a strategy used to seize control of the land from the Owner. How is it possible to rob from the One who allowed you to graciously work in the fields in the first place? Stewardship is a spiritual reality knowing that without the benevolence of the Master we would have nothing at all. 1

Stewardship has been the Christian

or Biblical method of Church support through the centuries. Stewardship is putting our faith into action. Steward-ship is synergy with God. Stewardship is bringing Christ into our entire life, including our finances. Stewardship is a matter of personal faith and a belief in Him who is our God.

Listen to what St. Paul writes: "He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must do as he has made up his mind, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to provide you with every blessing in abundance, so that you may always have enough of everything and may provide in abundance for every good work." - 2 Corinthians 9:6-8

1. [Matthew 21:33] “There was a certain landowner who planted a vineyard…he leased it to vine-dressers…when vintage-time drew near, he sent his servants to the vinedressers, that they might receive its fruit. And the vinedressers took his servants, beat one, killed one, and stoned another. Last of all he sent his son to them…but when the vinedressers saw the son, they said, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and seize his inheritance.’ So they killed him. Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those vinedressers? ‘He will destroy those wicked men miserably and lease his vineyard to other vinedressers who will render to him the fruits of their seasons.’”


PhiloptochosPhiloptochos Report

BY ELLEN MANOS-ATHENSON, PRESIDENT

As we enter into the new Ecclesi-astical year, we very much look

forward to another productive and rewarding year working to fulfill the mission of Philoptochos in the spirit of Christian fellowship. We are grateful to our 229 loyal stewards whose support enables our chapter to meet our many commitments.

Trinity Treasures and Classy CollectiblesThe Bouras Center was overflowing on July 27-28 with items to sell as the Philoptochos held a successful and

profitable rummage sale. Thank you to Penny Pefanis and Elise Savnik for doing a fabulous job organizing and chairing this effort. Thanks to all our parishioners who donated items and baked delicious koulourakia and much appreciation and gratitude to all the volunteers who gave of their time during the summer to help set up and work at the sale.

A portion of the proceeds will benefit the HOPE project. Established by the sisters of the All Saints Greek Ortho-dox Monastery, in Calverton, NY the HOPE project’s vision is to allow for healing and transformation in the lives of survivors of human trafficking by

offering housing, occupation, helping them realize their potential, as they move toward self-sufficiency and em-powerment. White Field Farm is the social enterprise of the HOPE Project enabling the sisters to sell high quality products that include soaps, lotions, candles to support their efforts. Several of these products were on display and sold at the rummage sale.

Fundraisers like Trinity Treasures exemplifies the teamwork and dedi-cated of our Philoptochos to help those in need. If you are not a Philoptochos steward, please consider supporting this Philanthropic arm of our church.

This Proverb is one of the many scriptures in both the Old and

New Testaments that speak to the im-portance of planning, and ultimately how we prepare ourselves for an eternal life with our Lord, God, and Savior Jesus Christ! These lessons can also be applied to our personal lives and the planning and preparation for the future of Holy Trinity.

There are many aspects of planning that are on-going at Holy Trinity, through all of our wonder-ful minis-tries, committees, and programs. This preparation allows us to provide an atmosphere where we can continue to

grow in our Orthodox Christian faith. Part of the planning also in-cludes maintaining the structure in which we call our Holy Trinity home. Forward thinking has allowed us to protect the building for the future, and recently the Parish Council approved an appropria-tion of about $70,000 to care for the deteriorating flat roofs. Although the cost is great, it is a necessary prepara-tion (which should last 10-15 years) in order to prevent a potentially more disastrous situation - which would cost over 3x to remediate. In the fall, we will look to cre-ate a Capital Improvements Fund, as there are a number of projects over the next few years which will re-quire planning (and capital) in order to maintain and preserve our blessed Holy Trinity.

Looking forward and acting in ad-vance of more serious problems also

dove-tails into our faith. God is the ul-timate long range planner - just consider how He encompassed the whole range of eternity to eternity, looking far into the future to see the glorious victory over evil forces. From the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden, God un-veiled a plan that would counteract this misfor-tunate event on a cross outside of Jerusalem.

We are all called to serve and plan for Holy Trinity’s future. Church is not a spectator sport but the working together of the faithful for a common cause. Ser-vice and engagement are essential to our mission as it leads to a more fulfilling life in Christ as well as with each other!

The Parish Council invites you to join us in planning for the future of Holy Trinity by serving on a ministry or committee - as the Proverb infers, with many advisers we will succeed!

Parish CouncilPlanning - God is the ultimate planner!!

BY A.J. KARANIKOLAS, PARISH COUNCIL PRESIDENT

“Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed.”

Proverbs 15:22


Church Book StoreWhat is the most important thing about September?

Obviously it is the Veneration of the

Holy Cross on September 14!

The miracles of the Holy Cross start on May 21! Sts. Constantine and

Helen: Equal to the Apostles. Con-stantine had a vision: "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." Saint Constantine then had a victorious battle that finally ended persecution of Christians.

September 14 - "The Elevation of the Venerable and Life-Giving Cross." Saint Helen found the three crosses and identified which one belonged to our Savior! Then the Persians plundered Palestine and took the Cross to their own country.....Late in the year 628 Emperor Heraclius set out on a military campaign, retrieved the Cross, and after bringing it to Constantinople, himself escorted it back to Jerusalem, where he restored it to its place." After a recent Pre-sanctified Liturgy, in the Theosis class about Islam, we learned about an amazing miracle! The Byzantine gen-eral Heraclius defeated the Persians and brought to Constantinople the Holy Cross. He was dressed in fine robes but could not carry the Holy Cross on his back as Christ did. The Bishop Zacharias saw a vision that an angel prevented him. Hera-clius stripped off his fine robes and went barefoot and

repeated Christ’s carrying of the Holy Cross. Heraclius, in plain clothing and barefoot, thus in his heart and mind was humble and thus he was allowed by the angel to replace the Holy Cross!

Now that you have read all this about the Holy Cross. The insignia reads ICXC / NIKA: Thus, in Jesus Christ Conquer! Some years ago we had a Priest visit our Church. He gave a beautiful sermon, but it began with an awesome thought: "When you step into Church, you are stepping into Heaven on Earth!" There are glass parti-tions between the Narthex and the interior of our Church. They have the same insignia.

So what does a l l t h i s have to do

with the Church Book store? Sure we have cookbooks, travel books, novels, and icons. But the greatest things we have are prayer books, books by reli-gious authors, books about the Divine Liturgy, and most important of all the Orthodox Study Bible a "pearl of great value"] for the small cost of $32! "Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word [proceeding from the mouth of God" [Luke 4:4]. What is the WORD? [John 1:1].
