Pastoral Message from the May Beacon

Dear Parishioners of our Beloved Assumption,
Χριστός Ανέστη!!! Christ is Risen!!!
Together we celebrate our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ’s victory over death! His crucifixion and resurrection have freed us from the consequences of our fallen human nature and He is among us now as we approach the Blessed Great and Holy Feast of Pentecost!
Going forward in life we must realize that the greatest of all debts has been lifted from our shoulders - the generational debt that could not be repaid except through Christ’s victory over death. He has loosened us from our bonds; He has given us true pursuit of eternal happiness; He has given us life and hope!
Let these Holy days not be routine. Let us not accept the status quo. Each of us must examine our life in the context of what He has given us, and in return offer back to him the appropriate gifts of thanksgiving and love—which is nothing less than our whole life!
May the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the Love of God the Father and the Communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all!!!
Worshipping His 3rd Day Blessed Resurrection,
I remain,
In His Service,
Rev. Father Jon Boukis
