April 3 CROSS Tomorrow

Saturday, April 3, 2021 - 01:00 AM
“For the word of the CROSS is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved, it is the power of God.  For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the cleverness of the clever I will thwart." (1 Cor 1:18-19)

April 10 Memorial Saturday..................

Saturday, April 10, 2021 - 01:00 AM
April 11, the fourth Sunday in Great Lent, we are reminded of St. John Climacus, who wrote of the tremendous effort required for entrance into God’s Kingdom. “Let your prayer be completely simple. For both the publican and the prodigal son were reconciled to God by a single Phrase.” – St. John Climacus

April 17 Tomorrow is dedicated to St. Mary of Egypt.....

Saturday, April 17, 2021 - 01:00 AM
April 18 - Saint Mary of Egypt -  A repentant harlot, Mary tells us, that no amount of sin and wickedness can keep a person from God if he truly repents. St. Mary recognized her sinfulness and sought to bring about an essential change in her life. She ran from her sinfulness and devoted the remainder of her life to placing God’s will above her own.

Lazarus Saturday

Saturday, April 24, 2021 - 09:30 AM

Holy Unction - 6:00 PM

Tuesday, April 27, 2021 - 06:00 PM
Holy Unction -  The sacrament of the unction of the sick is the Church’s specific prayer for healing. If the faith of the believers is strong enough, and if it is the will of God, there is every reason to believe that the Lord can heal those who are diseased.

Matins with 12 Passion Gospels - 6:00 PM

Thursday, April 29, 2021 - 06:00 PM
Matins with 12 Passion Gospels - Christ suffered and died not for the sake of some vague "human mass," but for unique human persons - for you and me.  in this fact lies the hope and joy of each Christian.  (Very Rev. Paul Lazor)

Holy Thursday - Vesperal Divine Liturgy - 9:30 AM - Matins with 12 Passion Gospels - 6:00 PM

Vesperal Divine Liturgy - To understand the meaning of the Last Supper, we must see it as the very end of the great movement of Divine Love which began with the creation of the world and is now to be consummated in the death and resurrection of Christ.  (Rev. Alexander Schmemann)
