What do you do when you get tired (and how do you do it)? We speak especially in the context of Prison Ministry, during a liturgy in our new parole house in Marshal Texas. The healing of the servant of the centurion and the epistle readings for Demetrios Saturday and the 22nd Saturday after Pentecost tell us.

Audio/Video Timestamps
0:09 -6:41 Differences between the one day of Pascha, celebrated all of Bright Week, and other times.
0:18 – 0:48 Bright Week is as one day – Pascha, every day.
0:51 – 1:41 NO FASTING of ANY KIND all of Bright Week
1:10 – 1:41 It is AS IMPORTANT to eat non-fating foods as it is to fast. Everything has its right time.
1:41 – 1:51 We do not read the Psalter all of Bright Week
1:51 – 2:17 We substitute the Paschal Hours for our usual Morning and evening prayers
2:17 – 3:20 We do not say “O Heavenly King…” until Pentecost. Why?
3:20 – 4:05 Many people say the Paschal canon during Bright Week.
4:07 – 5:19 EVERY day of the year, we always commemorate (pray for) our list of people! NO MATTER what else we do, we cannot say that we love someone if we do not pray for them.
5:19 – 5:58 No prostrations in the church until Pentecost. I recommend that you stop doing prostrations for all of Bright week, then start again.
5:58 – 6:41 Even during Bright week, as in every week, we must labor along with our rest.
6:41 – 7:42 Should you come to the extra liturgies this week? A simple way to know.
7:56 – 8:41 Concerning the MOST IMPORTANT day of the year (not Pascha)!
8:43 – 9:12 How do we prepare for Communion during Bright Week?

What is life? It is bearing fruit, and being conformed to the image of Jesus Christ.
The most important teaching of the Parable of the Vineyard is that life is bearing fruit. The epistle of St Paul to the Romans that is appointed today, for the Martyr Mamas, teaches what this fruit is – to be conformed to the image of Jesus Christ.

The healing of the ten lepers. Complete healing depends on us!
Ephesians 6:10-17 Luke 17:12-19
The Incarnation is about healing. Like leprosy, sin is a slow death operating in us. Healing is a process, which happens when we react to God’s grace. Becoming a Christian requires that we change the way we live.

A sermon during the liturgy at the Orthodox Christian Mission in Quanah Texas. We must read Scripture to clean not only theology and dogma but also how to live and how to think and how to pray. The synthesis of three of the readings today teaches us these very things: to pray like St. Paul, and how to think as he does and how to do the right kind of work by taking on the yoke of Christ. Colossians 1:3-6, Luke 16:10-15, Matthew 11:27-30 2024-02-10
