"An Egyptian by birth, Abba Bessarion was initiated into the angelic life by Saint Anthony the Great. He later became a disciple of Saint Macarius, the founder of Scetis (19 Jan.), and then set out to lead the life of a wanderer, borne hither and thither by Providence like a bird by the wind. All his wealth lay in the Gospel, which he always had in his hand. Living in the open air, he patiently endured all weathers, untroubled by care for a dwelling or for clothing. Fortified by the strength of the faith, he thus remained untouched by all the passions of the flesh. "On coming to a monastery where the brethren led the common life, he would sit weeping at the gate. A brother once offered him hospitality and asked why he was distressed. 'I cannot live under a roof, until I have regained the wealth of my house,' he replied, meaning the heavenly inheritance lost since Adam. 'I am afflicted, in danger of death every day, and without rest because of my huge misfortunes, which oblige me ever to travel on in order to finish my course.' "He wandered for forty years without ever lying down to sleep, and he spent all of forty days and forty nights standing wide awake in a thorn bush. One winter's day, he was walking through a village when he came upon a dead man. Without hesitation, he took off his own coat and covered the body. A little further on, he gave his tunic to a poor man who was shivering in the cold. An army officer, who happened to be passing, saw the naked ascetic and wanted to know who had stripped him of his clothing. 'He did!' replied Bessarion, holding up the Gospel Book. On another occasion, he met with a poor man and, having nothing to give him in alms, he hurried to the market in order to sell his Gospel Book. On his disciple's asking him where the Book was, he replied cheerfully, 'I have sold it in obedience to the words which I never cease to hear: Go, sell what you possess and give to the poor' (Matt. 19:21). "Through this evangelic way of life he became a chosen vessel of Grace, and God wrought many miracles through him. One day, for example, he made sea water sweet through the sign of the Cross, to quench his disciple's thirst. When the latter wanted to keep some for the remainder of the journey, he prevented him, saying, 'God is here, God is everywhere!' At another time, having stood for two weeks in prayer with hands raised to heaven, he brought about rain enough to fill a thirsty brother's coat. Then there was the time when he stopped the sun from setting until he reached the cell of an elder whom he wished to meet; and the time when he walked across the waters of a river. Through these and many other wonders wrought by the Saint, God showed, as He did with Moses, Joshua and Elias, that He grants His servants mastery even over natural phenomena. Through the power of Christ, he raised a paralytic, drove out demons and showed himself truly to be a 'god' upon the earth. "When, having reached his goal, he was at the point of regaining that dwelling in heaven which he had sought throughout his wanderings, he said to those about him, 'The monk ought, like the cherubim, to be all eye.' "In answer to a brother who asked what a monk living in community ought to do, he replied: 'Keep silence and do not measure yourself.' Indeed, this is how even in the midst of people one can obtain the grace of the great anchorites." (Synaxarion)
From R H B publishing- Does upholding the law compromise the freeness and fullness of the gospel----In this classic work, John Colquhoun helps us to understand the importance of knowing the relationship between law and gospel. In one of the most outstanding Reformed studies on the topic, Colquhoun encourages believers to combat both legalism and antinomianism by joyfully embracing a correct view of the law centered on the Person of Christ.

Something is wrong with the American church. Is it too woke? Too aligned with Christian nationalism? Or is the problem deeper and more theological? Matthew Bates, author of Why the Gospel, believes so, arguing that today's American church possesses a fundamental misunderstanding of the Gospel itself. Today, he explains more in his conversation with Patrick, answering: What is the true Gospel message? Why is it “Good News,” even for the “nones” and “dones” of today's age? What are the malformed Gospel messages that we've fallen for? How would our lives change if we adapted this true interpretation of the Gospel? Plus, he shares why a correct understanding of the Gospel helps to reclaim a Christian's active role in social and political action. Listen now! Ok, truth time... Did you like this episode?

Lou, Jesse & Karen continue their visit in Crockett Island, where they are preparing for the Easter Vigil. We talk about what makes someone a hero and what makes someone a villian. We also talk about the way that music has been used in the miniseries.

With Every Soldier of the Heavenly Army Announcing the moveable feasts, Epiphany 2020 Note: this essay appeared in Gottesdienst (the print journal) in the Michaelmas 2020 issue. Today would have been my son's sixteenth birthday, and so I would like to share this with our readers today. The Proper Preface is a confession of the unity of the Church - Militant and Triumphant - and a confession of the resurrection of the dead. Requiescat in Pace, Leonidas Beane+. You can subscribe to the print journal here. “Therefore with angels and archangels and with all the company of heaven we laud and magnify Your glorious name, evermore praising You, and saying . . .” — THE COMMON PROPER PREFACE “We shall meet, but we shall miss him There will be one vacant chair We shall linger to caress him While we breathe our evening prayer.” — "THE VACANT CHAIR" Our common Proper Preface concludes: “With angels and archangels, and with all the company of heaven, we laud and magnify Your glorious name, evermore praising You and saying,…” followed by the Sanctus. It is a confession of our joining together as a great choir: the Church Militant on earth, the Church Triumphant in heaven, along with the hierarchy of the angelic hosts, as we, like Isaiah in Chapter 6, find ourselves around the throne of God singing the thrice-holy Sanctus, bridging heaven and earth, with one foot in time and another in eternity, praising the Lord in preparation for the burning coal of the Eucharist to be placed upon our lips to purge our sins. For those of us whose loved ones have died, the confession of the “company of heaven” is of great comfort, a reminder and confession that our sainted beloved departed of the Church Triumphant are in the Lord's presence—even as are we, as we join with our Lord and with them to breach time and space, as our Lord condescends to commune with us in His body and blood. The conclusion of our Proper Preface comes from the Book of Common Prayer. It seems to correspond with the Latin from the Tridentine Proper Preface of Eastertide, Christmastide, and Ascension (and other feasts): “Et ideo cum angelis et archangelis, cum thronis et dominationibus, cumque omni militia caelestis exercitus, hymnum gloriae tuae canimus, sine fine dicentes . . . … [(And so with angels and archangels, with Tthrones and Ddominions, and with every soldier of the heavenly army, we sing a hymn to Your glory, evermore saying . . .])” This gives us a more militant picture of the heavenly hosts (“hosts” meaning “armies,” translating the Hebrew “Sabaoth”). We often think of the Church on earth as the Church Militant—and so we are. We wage war against the world, the devil, and our sinful flesh as we live here in time in the fallen order. We think of the saints in heaven as the Church Triumphant—and so they are. In Christ, they have triumphed over the world, the devil, and the sinful flesh, even as they await the consummation, the resurrection, and the great reunion between the Church Militant and the Church Triumphant in eternity. But this doesn't mean that the saints in heaven are not taking part in the battle, for the saints in heaven pray for us, as we confess in Apology 21:8: “[C]oncerning the saints we concede that, just as, when alive, they pray for the Church universal in general, so in heaven they pray for the Church in general.” And so we are comforted not only that we join with our Lord and with the company of heaven in the Divine Service, we can also rejoice in the prayers of the departed saints, our unity with them in the great Una Sancta, and the protection of the angels for which we pray, evening and morning. To the unbelieving world, death is the final victor. It claims everyone. It is non-negotiable and irrevocable. It lurks about us for our entire lives. It strikes, sometimes suddenly, always painfully, at times tragically, and it separates us from our loved ones. It creates a crisis for those who wish to see transcendence and meaning, when all they can muster is materialism and lack of purpose. The fear of death creates a sense of spiritual nihilism and material hedonism. People desperately look for meaning in transient pleasures, as evidenced by the recent fads in funeral practice, including the more recent designs etched into tombstones. Unbelievers look for a sense of a metaphorical “eternal life” in the form of our beloved departed “living on in our hearts.” Non-Christian (and sadly, some Christian) believers in an afterlife may seek after signs and engage in superstitions—or worse yet, partake in séances and spiritualism, real or imagined, to seek communion with their loved ones. But we Christians have the revelation of God's Word that we human beings are both material and spiritual, that mankind was created in God's image, that we are beloved of the Lord and redeemed by Jesus Christ at the cross, that we are baptized into Christ, and that we are nourished by His very flesh and blood. And that is where the real communion happens—where eternity breaks into time, where the spiritual is enfleshed in the material, where Christ is central in the Church's adoration of Christ, and the Church's union with Christ. Sadly, even Christian people fall prey to the sentimentality of the world – especially in our own cultural reality of emotionalism. But this maudlin feelings-based version of Christianity is not new. There is a sad poem from the War Between the States that wallows in self-pity over the loss of a son during the conflict. It is called “The Vacant Chair.” It points to the constant reminder of the vacant chair that brings sadness and grief to the family, even in the midst of their prayers. The poem, which was later turned into a song, never mentions the resurrection, the reunion that we as believers confess, and certainly no objective hope of the mercy of God as conveyed in Holy Baptism, the Word, or the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper. The poem is all about the grief, and is devoid of hope. I've always loathed the song. Admittedly, some of my bias is probably attributable to the fact that it is a Yankee composition, but the main reason is that it entirely misses the point of the Christian faith itself. As Gottesdienst readers may know, my fifteen-year-old son took his own life in May. He had just found out that an activity that was very important to him had been cancelled because of fears of coronavirus. As was the case with all of us, his whole social life had already been altered as the lockdown continued to be extended. This was a spontaneous act, an attack of the devil upon one of the Lord's baptized, a pious young man who faithfully served seven years, twice a week, in the chancel with me. He knew the Scriptures and had a solid faith on this side of the grave. This was a spontaneous act that the Lord in His ineffable and infinite wisdom permitted to happen. The Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away. Blessed be the name of the Lord. There is a vacant chair in our chancel: Leo's chair. He served as our acolyte, our crucifier, and as one entrusted to process with the Gospel Book. He assisted me and the deacon as we distributed the Holy Elements. During the distribution, he reverently did what needed to be done in the chancel without direction, always with a reverence and a piety that wordlessly confessed his vocation at that time and place. In some ways, Leo was like a subdeacon for our congregation. He was a cadet officer in the Civil Air Patrol (the U.S. Air Force Auxiliary), and carried out his ceremonial duties with martial confidence: done with excellence, and yet without an overbearing military rigidity. He truly understood what the word “reverence” means, and most certainly does even in eternity. His absence on this side of the grave has left a gaping hole during our parish's Divine Service, and indeed, a literal vacant chair in the chancel. And yet, he remains present with our Lord, even as are we. Our Altar Book is on the Epistle side of the altar, just a few feet from Leo's vacant chair. While I chant the Proper Preface, I see the vacant chair clearly in my peripheral vision. The Proper Preface for Sunday Masses contains references to the resurrection (“who on this day overcame death and the grave and by His glorious resurrection opened to us the way of everlasting life”), which, juxtaposed with the vacant chair, is a poignant reminder of the promises of God. And the words,: “and all the company of heaven—which is our shorthand in English for the confession of the presence of “every soldier of the heavenly army—is a confession of the presence of the departed saints. The Proper Preface for Eastertide is even more explicit: And most especially are we bound to praise You on this day for the glorious resurrection of Your Son, Jesus Christ, the very Paschal Lamb, who was sacrificed for us and bore the sins of the world. By His dying He has destroyed death, and by His rising again He has restored to us everlasting life. Rather than filling my heart with maudlin anguish, when I see the vacant chair and I defiantly chant that ancient confession of the unity of the Church Militant and the Church Triumphant around our Lord who is physically present with us in Word and Sacrament, who has destroyed death, who is risen, and whose resurrection points us to the “resurrection of the body and the life everlasting” of all who believe and are baptized, of all of us whose sins are covered by the blood of the Lamb, of all of our Lord's redeemed who eat His flesh and drink His blood—I am comforted with the objective reality of our Lord's victory over sin, death, and hell. Satan wins battles, but he has lost the war. And even his casualties are but temporary. Our liturgy is filled with such gems: little confessions that perhaps often go unnoticed. But when we need to hear them, they are there for us. Without fail, our merciful Lord speaks to us. We do well to listen. For “while we breathe our evening prayer,” we certainly grieve for our departed loved ones. And yet, our prayers are answered by the Lord who is victorious, who has triumphed over the devil, whose blood shed upon the cross redeems us, even as it is miraculously given to us as the “medicine of immortality.” And unlike the poem, the “we” isn't just our family that “will meet” and “miss him,” but the “we” that meets is the entire Church, “on earth as it is in heaven.” And yes, we miss him, but we also are in his presence and the presence of all the saints. And the Proper Preface confesses the resurrection, which gives us hope and joy and the promise of a reunion in the flesh that will never end. The Divine Service is not maudlin, but rather joyful. It is not devoid of hope, but to the contrary, overflows with hope like the cup in the 23rd Twenty-third Psalm. In this context, the vacant chair is a reminder of the soldiers of the heavenly army, the confessors who are triumphant, the redeemed in the bosom of the Lamb, the departed who await our arrival, those who intercede for the Church, and those for whom no prayers are necessary. The evening prayers that we breathe are songs of thankfulness and praise, of the Lamb's victory, of the Christian's union with Christ's death and burial, and his union with Christ's resurrection and newness of life (Rom. 6:4–5). We, the Church—Militant and Triumphant—sing our Thrice Holy in unison, praising the Trinity in Unity, unified, but with a blended harmony. What separates the temporal reality of the vacant chair from the eternal reality of the throne from which our Lord rules is a thin veil, a veil that in reality has been torn asunder by Him who cried out in triumph, “It is finished!” Portrait by Tiffany Leigeber

"An Egyptian by birth, Abba Bessarion was initiated into the angelic life by Saint Anthony the Great. He later became a disciple of Saint Macarius, the founder of Scetis (19 Jan.), and then set out to lead the life of a wanderer, borne hither and thither by Providence like a bird by the wind. All his wealth lay in the Gospel, which he always had in his hand. Living in the open air, he patiently endured all weathers, untroubled by care for a dwelling or for clothing. Fortified by the strength of the faith, he thus remained untouched by all the passions of the flesh. "On coming to a monastery where the brethren led the common life, he would sit weeping at the gate. A brother once offered him hospitality and asked why he was distressed. 'I cannot live under a roof, until I have regained the wealth of my house,' he replied, meaning the heavenly inheritance lost since Adam. 'I am afflicted, in danger of death every day, and without rest because of my huge misfortunes, which oblige me ever to travel on in order to finish my course.' "He wandered for forty years without ever lying down to sleep, and he spent all of forty days and forty nights standing wide awake in a thorn bush. One winter's day, he was walking through a village when he came upon a dead man. Without hesitation, he took off his own coat and covered the body. A little further on, he gave his tunic to a poor man who was shivering in the cold. An army officer, who happened to be passing, saw the naked ascetic and wanted to know who had stripped him of his clothing. 'He did!' replied Bessarion, holding up the Gospel Book. On another occasion, he met with a poor man and, having nothing to give him in alms, he hurried to the market in order to sell his Gospel Book. On his disciple's asking him where the Book was, he replied cheerfully, 'I have sold it in obedience to the words which I never cease to hear: Go, sell what you possess and give to the poor' (Matt. 19:21). "Through this evangelic way of life he became a chosen vessel of Grace, and God wrought many miracles through him. One day, for example, he made sea water sweet through the sign of the Cross, to quench his disciple's thirst. When the latter wanted to keep some for the remainder of the journey, he prevented him, saying, 'God is here, God is everywhere!' At another time, having stood for two weeks in prayer with hands raised to heaven, he brought about rain enough to fill a thirsty brother's coat. Then there was the time when he stopped the sun from setting until he reached the cell of an elder whom he wished to meet; and the time when he walked across the waters of a river. Through these and many other wonders wrought by the Saint, God showed, as He did with Moses, Joshua and Elias, that He grants His servants mastery even over natural phenomena. Through the power of Christ, he raised a paralytic, drove out demons and showed himself truly to be a 'god' upon the earth. "When, having reached his goal, he was at the point of regaining that dwelling in heaven which he had sought throughout his wanderings, he said to those about him, 'The monk ought, like the cherubim, to be all eye.' "In answer to a brother who asked what a monk living in community ought to do, he replied: 'Keep silence and do not measure yourself.' Indeed, this is how even in the midst of people one can obtain the grace of the great anchorites." (Synaxarion)

Our Faith: Church Architecture and the Movement of the Faithful Opening Scripture: Psalm 29:1-2; Exodus 24:9-18; John 12: 3-8 Summary of Scripture: The Glory, Power, and Love of God. Today’s Lesson: Beauty will Save the World Questions for consideration: What purpose do architecture, icons, vestments, and music serve? What is it about beauty that is salvific? Why did Dostoevsky say that it would “Save the world”? The emissaries from Kyiv’s reaction to worship in Constantinople’s St. Sophia? Basic Orthodox Architecture The Temple is Sacred Space. Think of Moses and the burning bush. The Arc of the Covenant. The Holy of Holies of the Temple in Jerusalem. It is set aside. [We are also temples, but this is meant to elevate us… NOT to degrade the physical temple!]. So nice to have an Orthodox Temple that was designed as such! Basic Orthodox Architecture (the Arc of Salvation) Narthex: vestibule. Transition space from the world to heaven on earth. Nave: the central portion where the faithful worship. Contains pews, tetrapod, place for confession, kliros, candle boxes. Altar/Sanctuary: Eastern-most section. Holy of Holies. Altar Table with Tabernacle and Gospel Book are central. Also includes the Table of Oblation. Iconostasis: Divides and unifies the altar/sanctuary and nave. Symbolizes unity of the faithful through Christ. Holy Doors in middle represent “Gates of Paradise”. Note that Christ comes out to us (not the other way around). Deacon doors on side are most commonly used doors. Specific icons in various places. Domes vs. Steeples. Icons, Frescos, and Stained Glass Our icons/frescoes include: Iconostas: Christ the Savior, Christ with the Theotokos; St. John the Baptist, St. Raphael of Brooklyn; Archangel Michael, Archangel Gabriel; Icon of the Entrance (changes); Festal icons; icons of patrons Our stained glass include: feasts, mysteries. Vestments for Servers and Holy Things Common day things/people become icons of something better. Colors have theological significance. The Movement of the Faithful How does our behavior change when we walk in (i.e. what do/don’t we do here that we don’t/do there) The Music of Orthodoxy How is our music different from our music out there? How is the talking different? Discussion: The role of beauty in our lives. Do we really need all this stuff? Next time (11/23 and 11/30): Nativity (Incarnation) Prophecies

Rebroadcast of the long-running radio program, The Ave Maria Hour," a presentation of the Franciscan Friars of the Atonement. www.AtonementFriars.org In the Acts of the Apostles, the Bible says that the apostles of Jesus needed helpers to care for widows and the poor. They ordained seven deacons to that task, and St. Stephen is the most famous of these. He is described as a man filled with faith and the Holy Spirit, who worked great miracles among the people. Stephen preached forcefully and with wisdom about Jesus, telling all who would listen that Jesus is the Savior that God had promised to send. He scolded local Jewish authorities for not believing in Jesus. At that rebuke, they rose up in great anger and accused Stephen of blasphemy. They dragged him outside the city of Jerusalem and stoned him to death. The saint prayed, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!" Then he fell to his knees and begged God not to punish his enemies for killing him. St. Stephen is often depicted with stones, a Gospel Book, a miniature church and a martyr's palm frond. He is the patron saint of altar servers, bricklayers, casket makers and deacons. His feast day is celebrated on December 26.
Join Brandon Harvey for this Home Catechesis Podcast on the honor and reverence shown to the Sacred Scriptures. The Church demonstrates this reverence and invites us into this reverence in the Sacred Liturgy; this episode reflects upon the ways we can imitate the heart of this reverence in the home. This podcast is also available on iTunes. More info about Home Catechesis can be found at www.homecatechesis.com
The Greek word symbol - σύμβολον, symbolon - is derived from two Greek words syn (together with) and balo (a casting, throwing)which means to bring two realities together and place them side by side. Hence, "outward sign" of something. All secular / cultural liturgies employ important symbols. Symbols convey deep meanings which reach the heart, the deep consciousness. Thus, the worship of Israel was full of symbols signifying two realities, the visible and the invisible. The Church's liturgical worship incorporates ancient signs and symbols which illuminate the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The cross, the altar and the Gospel Book speak of Christ and his work of redemption. Thus, we bow before these symbols, giving honor and worship to the one signified, Jesus Christ. We examine common ways we use our bodies as symbolic language. We clap our hands, give high-fives, thumbs up and the ok sign to communicate without words. These signs reach deep into hearts. We then ask why we find it odd to make the sign of the cross or employ the biblical pictures of embodied worship. Revelation chapter 5 & 8 are considered as patterns of heavenly worship ... the reality in which we ascend within the Eucharistic liturgy ... through faith and grace. Liturgical worship re-habituates a unity between body and soul, healing the split between the material and the heavenly (invisible yet real as prevenient reality). The earth is the Lords and his Kingdom comes and shall come on earth as it is in heaven.
Worship is an embodied practice of one's entire self - spirit, soul and body. We explore how we offer our bodies in liturgical worship as a full expression of Love for God - all one's heart, soul, mind and strength. We walk through the Eucharistic liturgy, noting where and why we do the following: (1) we enter worship, dipping our finger in the blessed waters of the baptismal font and the sign of the cross, reaffirming our baptism, (2) elsewhere the sign of the cross is made (3) we bow before the cross, altar & Gospel Book. Next week, we will continue exploring more.
Corpus Christi College possesses one of the oldest extant illustrated manuscripts, the St Augustine Gospels from the sixth century. This lecture discusses the origin of illustrated books in Late Antiquity and their earliest appearance in biblical texts. This famous Gospel Book is thought to have been brought from Italy to England by St Augustine of Canterbury on his mission to evangelise the Anglo-Saxons in 597. The evidence for and against this identification will be discussed.
The first procession in the Divine Liturgy is referred to as the "Little Entrance" where the Gospel Book is brought into the altar and the call to worship is proclaimed.
