As Christians, we believe in the person of Jesus Christ, our redeemer and Savior.
Our eternal destiny is revealed to us by God‘s Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. He assumed our real human nature, and became a God-Man, Theanthropos, to relate to us. He taught us His Father’s Holy Will, He took upon himself our sins, nailed them to the cross, and forgave us. He rose bodily from the dead to secure our own resurrection from the dead. He will return in glory to judge the living and the dead. But only God, His Father, knows the time of His glorious return.
The glorified Christ cleansed us from the original sin and our personal sins in our baptism. Christ granted us His Holy Spirit in our Chrismation to enable us to do God’s Holy Will. Christ feeds us with the Holy Eucharist, the bread and wine, which He changes through the Holy Spirit into His sacramental flesh and blood everytime we celebrate the Divine Liturgy.
Christ has also provided us with the Holy Sacrament of Holy Confession to come to Him in repentance, to confess our sins and receive forgiveness of our sins which we commit as human beings. He bestows anew His Grace upon us to enable us to live victoriously our Christin life.
On March 25, we will celebrate the Annunciation, the Evangelismos, the Good News of God which Archangel Gabriel brought to Virgin Mary in Nazareth that she will conceive and give birth to Jesus Who will save His people.
We are invited by God and His Church to daily renew our faith in Him and use all the saving means He has offered to us for our salvation, in order to spend eternity with Him enjoying His Divine Glory.
With love,
Fr. John P. Angelis
This festive Synaxis is celebrated to the glory of the Archangel Gabriel, since he ministered to the marvelous mystery of God's incarnate dispensation.

Prokeimenon. Plagal Fourth Tone. Psalm 75.11,1.
Make your vows to the Lord our God and perform them.
Verse: God is known in Judah; his name is great in Israel.
The reading is from St. Paul's Letter to the Hebrews 6:13-20.
BRETHREN, when God made a promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater by whom to swear, he swore to himself, saying, "Surely I will bless you and multiply you." And thus Abraham, having patiently endured, obtained the promise. Men indeed swear by a greater than themselves, and in all their disputes an oath is final for confirmation. So when God desired to show more convincingly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable character of his purpose, he interposed with an oath, so that through two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible that God should prove false, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to seize the hope set before us. We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner shrine behind the curtain, where Jesus has gone as a forerunner on our behalf, having become a high priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
Sunday of St. John Climacus
The Reading is from Mark 9:17-31
At that time, a man came to Jesus kneeling and saying: "Teacher, I brought my son to you, for he has a dumb spirit; and wherever it seizes him it dashes him down; and he foams and grinds his teeth and becomes rigid; and I asked your disciples to cast it out, and they were not able." And he answered them, "O faithless generation, how long am I to be with you? How long am I to bear with you? Bring him to me." And they brought the boy to him; and when the spirit saw him, immediately it convulsed the boy, and he fell on the ground and rolled about, foaming at the mouth. And Jesus asked his father, "How long has he had this?" And he said, "From childhood. And it has often cast him into the fire and into the water, to destroy him; but if you can do anything, have pity on us and help us." And Jesus said to him, "If you can! All things are possible to him who believes." Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, "I believe; help my unbelief!" And when Jesus saw that a crowd came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, "You dumb and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and never enter him again." And after crying out and convulsing him terribly, it came out, and the boy was like a corpse; so that most of them said, "He is dead." But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose. And when he had entered the house, his disciples asked him privately, "Why could we not cast it out?" And he said to them, "This kind cannot be driven out by anything but prayer and fasting." They went on from there and passed through Galilee. And he would not have any one know it; for he was teaching his disciples, saying to them, "The Son of man will be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill him; and when he is killed, after three days he will rise."
