THE ROLE OF THE GUARDIAN ANGEL IN OUR LIVES Angels are ministering spirits who are sent to minister to us for our future salvation (Heb114) God ldquogave the nations their inheritance when He divided all mankind He set up boundaries for the people according to the number of angels of Godrdquo (Deut 328) They were created before the physical world and humanity

The Archangels Michael and Gabriel serve the work of the Divine Economy for the salvation of humani-ty and in Holy Scripture their appearances to specific person are mentioned in order to transfer to them a message Such as for example the Archangel Michael to the Judge in the Old Testament named Gideon and the Archangel Gabriel to the Theotokos and to Zachariah the father of the Honorable Forerunner etc

At Baptism God sends every believer an Angel for their protection to remind them of Godrsquos will and rebuke them when they sin in order to lead them to repentance That is to help them return to the path that leads to communion with God when they have gone astray This creates joy since repentance is associated with eternal divine life and this is why heaven celebrates when a person sincerely repents (Lk 157) Saint John of Sinai the author of The Ladder in his discourse on discernment writes on the conscience ldquoConscience is the word and conviction of our Guardian Angel given to us from the time of Baptism That is why we find that the unbaptized do not feel such keen pangs of remorse in their soul for their bad deedsrdquo

The truth of the presence and work of a Guardian Angel in the lives of the faithful is mentioned in Holy Scripture in the writings of the Holy Fathers and in the lives of the Saints In the twelfth chapter of Acts the Evangelist Luke tells us of the miraculous rescue of the Apostle Peter who was imprisoned by Herod after the martyric death of the Apostle James Peter was bound with two chains in prison and suddenly there appeared before him the Angel of the Lord who freed him and led him out of prison He then real-ized he was not seeing a vision but this was a reality so he went to the house of the mouth of the Evan-gelist Mark where many believers were gathered praying for his rescue The Apostle Peter knocked on the door and waited for an answer The servant however named Rodi did not answer the door out of enthusiasm when she heard the voice of Peter but ran to tell the happy news to those gathered there When she told them the Apostle Peter was knocking on the door they thought she had lost her mind When she insisted however they said together that it was because of his Guardian Angel (Acts 121-6)

We see it is clear that the early Christians had personal experiences of the existence of Guardian Angels rejoicing in their presence and protection Yet the same occurs today just as in previous times with the Saints and those who struggle to achieve their personal sanctification They sense the presence of their Guardian Angel and some depending on their inner purity see them and converse with them Indeed internal purity is not achieved magically but it implies an ascetical and prayerful and sacramental life When someone by the grace of God and their personal struggle gains dominion over their passions their nous is illumined which is the eye of their soul and they are able to see what their physical eyes cannot They are able to see the glory of God the Angels Saints as well as their Guardian Angel whom they always feel beside them and protecting them

Epistle and Gospel Readings for Today

EPISTLE READING Galatians 1 11-19

BRETHREN I would have you know that the gospel which was preached by me is not mans

gospel For I did not receive it from man nor was I taught it but it came through a revelation

of Jesus Christ For you have heard of my former life in Judaism how I persecuted the church

of God violently and tried to destroy it and I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my own

age among my people so extremely zealous was I for the traditions of my fathers But when

he who had set me apart before I was born and had called me through his grace was pleased

to reveal his Son to me in order that I might preach him among the Gentiles I did not confer

with flesh and blood nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me but I

went away into Arabia and again I returned to Damascus Then after three years I went up to

Jerusalem to visit Cephas and remained with him fifteen days But I saw none of the other

apostles except James the Lords brother

GOSPEL READING Luke 8 41-56

At that time there came to Jesus a man named Jairus who was a ruler of the synagogue

and falling at Jesus feet he besought him to come to his house for he had an only daugh-

ter about twelve years of age and she was dying As he went the people pressed round

him And a woman who had had a flow of blood for twelve years and had spent all her

living upon physicians and could not be healed by anyone came up behind him and

touched the fringe of his garment and immediately her flow of blood ceased And Jesus

said Who was it that touched me When all denied it Peter said Master the multi-

tudes surround you and press upon you But Jesus said Some one touched me for I

perceive that power has gone forth from me And when the woman saw that she was not

hidden she came trembling and falling down before him declared in the presence of all

the people why she had touched him and how she had been immediately healed And he

said to her Daughter your faith has made you well go in peace While he was still

speaking a man from the rulers house came and said Your daughter is dead do not

trouble the Teacher any more But Jesus on hearing this answered him Do not fear only

believe and she shall be well And when he came to the house he permitted no one to

enter with him except Peter and John and James and the father and mother of the child

And all were weeping and bewailing her but he said Do not weep for she is not dead

but sleeping And they laughed at him knowing that she was dead But taking her by the

hand he called saying Child arise And her spirit returned and she got up at once and

he directed that something should be given her to eat And her parents were amazed but

he charged them to tell no one what had happened

Epistle and Gospel Readings for Today

EPISTLE READING Galatians 1 11-19

BRETHREN I would have you know that the gospel which was preached by me is not mans

gospel For I did not receive it from man nor was I taught it but it came through a revelation

of Jesus Christ For you have heard of my former life in Judaism how I persecuted the church

of God violently and tried to destroy it and I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my own

age among my people so extremely zealous was I for the traditions of my fathers But when

he who had set me apart before I was born and had called me through his grace was pleased

to reveal his Son to me in order that I might preach him among the Gentiles I did not confer

with flesh and blood nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me but I

went away into Arabia and again I returned to Damascus Then after three years I went up to

Jerusalem to visit Cephas and remained with him fifteen days But I saw none of the other

apostles except James the Lords brother

GOSPEL READING Luke 8 41-56

At that time there came to Jesus a man named Jairus who was a ruler of the synagogue

and falling at Jesus feet he besought him to come to his house for he had an only daugh-

ter about twelve years of age and she was dying As he went the people pressed round

him And a woman who had had a flow of blood for twelve years and had spent all her

living upon physicians and could not be healed by anyone came up behind him and

touched the fringe of his garment and immediately her flow of blood ceased And Jesus

said Who was it that touched me When all denied it Peter said Master the multi-

tudes surround you and press upon you But Jesus said Some one touched me for I

perceive that power has gone forth from me And when the woman saw that she was not

hidden she came trembling and falling down before him declared in the presence of all

the people why she had touched him and how she had been immediately healed And he

said to her Daughter your faith has made you well go in peace While he was still

speaking a man from the rulers house came and said Your daughter is dead do not

trouble the Teacher any more But Jesus on hearing this answered him Do not fear only

believe and she shall be well And when he came to the house he permitted no one to

enter with him except Peter and John and James and the father and mother of the child

And all were weeping and bewailing her but he said Do not weep for she is not dead

but sleeping And they laughed at him knowing that she was dead But taking her by the

hand he called saying Child arise And her spirit returned and she got up at once and

he directed that something should be given her to eat And her parents were amazed but

he charged them to tell no one what had happened

STEWARDSHIP 2016mdashΕαν δεν έχετε συμπλη-

ρώσει την κάρτα προσφοράς σας για το 2016 παρα-

καλούμε όπως επιληφθείτε το συντομότερο Δεν

έχουμε θέσει όρια αλλά αληθινό stewardship σημαί

-νει να δίνoυμε ανάλογα των εισοδημάτων μας

Το επίπεδο προσφοράς του stewardship θα πρέπει

να είναι ένα ποσό που θα αντιπροσωπεύει την

αυξανόμενη αγάπη μας προς τον Θεό και την

εκτίμησή μας δια τις ευλογίες και όλα τα καλά που

μας προσφέρει η εκκλησία μας

ΠΟΙΟΙ ΔΥΝΑΝΤΑΙ ΝΑ ΛΑΒΟΥΝ ΘΕΙΑΝ ΚΟΙΝΩΝΙΑΝ - Όταν λαμβάνομεν Θείαν Κοινωνίαν η οποιοδήποτε από τα άλλα Μυστήρια εκφράζομεν την αποδοχήν μας εις τα δογματικά και ηθικά διδάγματα της Ορθοδόξου μας Εκκλησίας Διά τούτο μόνον Ορθόδοξοι Χριστιανοί οι οποίοι είναι εντάξει απέναντι της Εκκλησίας δύνανται να λάβουν μέρος εις τα Μυστήρια όπως Θεία Κοινωνία και Ευχέλαιο και δεν πρέπει να λαμβάνουμε μέρος σε Μυστήρια σε μη Ορθόδοξες εκκλησίες Διά οποιεσδήποτε απορίες σας παρακαλούμε να συζητήσετε με τον ιερέα σας

ΠΟΤΕ ΝΑ ΓΟΝΑΤΙΖΟΥΜΕ ΝΑ ΣΤΕΚΟΜΑΣΤΕ ΚΑΙ ΝΑ ΚΑΘΟΜΑΣΤΕmdashΑπό τα πρώτα χρόνια η Εκκλησία μας δίδαξε ότι η αρμόζουσα θέση για να προσευχόμεθα είναι να στεκόμεθα όρθιοι (Μέχρι πρόσφατα οι περισσότερες Ορθόδοξες εκκλησίες δεν είχαν καθόλου καθίσματα δια τους πιστούς Tα καθίσματα υπήρχαν μόνον κατά μήκος των τοίχων δια τους ηλικιωμένους) Ως έκφραση δέους και σεβασμού υπάρχουν φορές που είθισται όμως να γονατίζουμε στην εκκλησία ιδιαιτέρως κατά την ώρα της ldquoΕπικλήσεωςrdquo όταν ο ιερός άρτος και οίνος μεταβάλλονται εις το τίμιο Σώμα και Αίμα του Χρηστού μας Κατά την Επίκλησιν (Σε Υμνοῦμεν) στις καθημερινές λειτουργίες αναμένεται να γονατίζουν όλοι οι πιστοί Κάθε Κυριακή όμως μερικοί διαλέγουν να γονατίζουν και άλλοι παραμένουν όρθιοι Αυτοί που για διάφορες αιτίες δεν δύνανται να γονατίσουν παρακαλούνται να παραμένουν όρθιοι εις ένδειξιν σεβασμού Εκτός για λόγους υγείας δεν είναι αρμόζον να κάθεται κανείς την ώρα της Επικλήσεως
