“Be ye not faithless, but believing!”

CHRIST IS RISEN FROM THE DEAD, TRAMPLING DOWN DEATH BY DEATH, AND UPON THOSE IN THE TOMBS BESTOWING LIFE!

John 20

King James Version

20 The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.

Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.

Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre.

So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.

And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in.

Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,

And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.

Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.

For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.

10 Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.

11 But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,

12 And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.

13 And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.

14 And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.

15 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.

16 Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.

17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.

18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her.

19 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

20 And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord.

21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.

22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:

23 Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.

24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.

25 The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.

26 And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.

27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.

28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.

29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

30 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book:

31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.

SHARING FOR YOUR THOUGHTS: Leaked, Chinese document reveals malevolent intent for Coronaviruses

SHARING FOR YOUR THOUGHTS: Leaked, Chinese document reveals malevolent intent for Coronaviruses

https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/covid19-leaked-origin/2021/05/08/id/1020638/


A document titled The Unnatural Origin of SARS and New Species of Man-Made Viruses as Genetic Bioweapons, written by Chinese scientists and Chinese public health officials in 2015, discussed the weaponization of SARS coronaviruses. It postulates a World War III scenario fought with biological weapons.


The paper describes coronavirus as a "new era of genetic weapons," according to news.com.au, and details how coronaviruses can be "artificially manipulated into an emerging human ­disease virus, then weaponised and unleashed in a way never seen before."


According to a Politico article published in March, one United States official had said, "If there was a smoking gun, the CCP [Communist Party of China] buried it along with anyone who would dare speak up about it... We'll probably never be able to prove it one way or the other, which was Beijing's goal all along."


But according to Peter Jennings, executive director of Australian Strategic Policy Institute, this newly uncovered document may be as close to a "smoking gun" as we have. 


"I think this is significant because it clearly shows that Chinese scientists were thinking about military application for different strains of the coronavirus and thinking about how it could be deployed," said Jennings. 


Jennings added, "It begins to firm up the possibility that what we have here is the accidental release of a pathogen for military use."


The document would also explain why China was reluctant to cooperate with investigations on the virus's origin. 


"If this was a case of transmission from a wet market it would be in China's interest to cooperate… we've had the opposite of that."


Robert Potter, who works as a cybersecurity specialist analyzing the Chinese government said, the document definitely is not fake. 


"We reached a high confidence conclusion that it was genuine … It's not fake but it's up to someone else to interpret how serious it is," Potter stated.


Potter stated that it is unlikely the virus escaped from a lab. 


"It emerged in the last few years … they (China) will almost certainly try to remove it now it's been covered."


According to the World Health Organization, COVID-19 was most likely of animal origin, which crossed over from humans to bats. Director of public health pathology Dominic Dwyer, who acts as a representative for the WHO, went to the wet market in Wuhan, where one theory states the virus originated. He said the wet market might not be the source of the virus.


"The market in Wuhan, in the end, was more of an amplifying event rather than necessarily a true ground zero. So we need to look elsewhere for the viral origins," Dwyer said.


One of the critical worries from a United States senior administration official was that, "This was just a peek under a curtain of an entire galaxy of activity, including labs and military labs in Beijing and Wuhan playing around with coronaviruses in ACE2 mice in unsafe labs ... It suggests we are getting a peek at a body of activity that isn't understood in the West or even has precedent here."

Beloved Christians,

Christ is risen!

Thank you for your prayers.
When Fr. John was admitted to the hospital, the CT scan revealed that he had severe pneumonia with fluid outside of his lungs. The CT scan did not indicate Covid-19. When they did a PCR test for Covid-19 it was positive. The doctor told him that the pneumonia  was life threatening. 
After many prayers Fr. John responded very quickly to the therapy and amazingly, he is now home.
This morning the doctors were quite surprised that he had 95% oxygen in his lungs when tested while walking around. The doctors had expected him to be in the hospital for many days, at the very least.
I consider this a miracle of the Most Holy Theotokos of the Life-giving Spring due to her mercy and your prayers.
Please continue to pray for him and his family during his recovery.

In Christ,

+Moses
(Metropolitan Moses)

Paschal Epistle

of

The Most Reverend George, 

Archbishop of Chisinau and Moldavia

 

Christ is Risen!

 

It is the day of resurrection. 

Let us be illumined, O ye peoples! 

Pascha! The Lord's Pascha! 

For from death to life and 

from earth to heaven, 

Christ God hath brought us, 

who sing a hymn of victory 

(irmos of the canon of Pascha).

 

God-loving brothers and sisters! The holy Apostle Paul, in his Epistle to the Corinthians, writes: As in Adam all die, so in Christ shall all be made alive (I Cor 15:22). In these words, the Apostle speaks to us, not only about the physical rising of men, but first of all about spiritual rebirth.

 

And truly, each of us knows that death is twofold – physical and spiritual. And the resurrection is likewise spiritual and physical. Spiritual resurrection consists in the fact that we, by God’s mercy, have believed in the Son of God. In the Mysteries of holy Baptism and Chrismation, we were born for spiritual life. Through the  Mystery of the Eucharist, we became partakers of Christ and His Holy Orthodox Church. We have become capable of living by means of the highest, heavenly "interests" and of perceiving them. In other words, we try and we learn to live according to the Gospel commandments, and with the help of the grace of God, knowing our sinful weakness, we endeavor to perfect ourselves in virtue. And this, dear brothers and sisters, is the best confirmation that we are, by God’s mercy, partakers of the regenerating power of the Resurrection of Christ.

 

Not by chance does the Holy Apostle Paul, in his Epistle to the Colossians, gladdening Christians, remind us that we, in contrast to unbelievers, have already come alive with Christ: If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God (Col 3:1). According to the interpretation of Blessed Theophylact of Bulgaria, the Apostle: “…convinces us that if you are resurrected with Christ, then after that you must be on high, where He also is, you must think of the heavenly (for just as baptism, as death, is depicted through immersion in water, so too the resurrection is depicted through rising out of the water)".

 

Truly, for all people, dear brothers and sisters, spiritual resurrection is revealed, already in this life, as a solid foundation of bodily resurrection in Christ, which will occur by the power of God on the last day of this perishable world. Then all departed people will come alive, their souls will return to their bodies. And the appearance of the resurrected will reflect their inner state. Some will look joyful and radiant, others – terrible: And [they] shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation (John 5:29).

 

Dear brothers and sisters! The solemnity of our Christian Pascha is always met joyfully by us, because the Resurrection of Christ has poured heavenly, Divine life into our human nature, damaged by sin. The authority of the devil, death, sin and hades has been laid low, the doors to the Kingdom of Heaven are open to us: We celebrate the death of death, the destruction of hades, the beginning of another life eternal, and leaping up we hymn the Cause: the only blessed and exceedingly glorious God of the fathers(paschal canon).

 

From my whole heart, I greet all of you, brothers and sisters, on the feast of the Resurrection of Christ! I wish everyone zeal to hold fast to Christ and to the path of the Gospel way of life, especially in our society that has departed from Christ. Let us not become discouraged and let us not despair, thinking that sin and the world that lies in evil are stronger than us. Let us try, by the power of the Vanquisher of hades, sin and death, to uproot in ourselves all the roots of evil. Let the gracious gifts of the Resurrection of Christ become for us the source and pledge of the coming rising from the dead. Amen.

 

Christ is Risen!

 

+ Archbishop George.

“The memory of the just is celebrated with hymns of praise!”

O Our Holy Father Archbishop John, The Miracle-Worker, Pray to God For Us!

CHRIST OUR ETERNAL JOY, IS RISEN!- ALLELUIA!


 

PASCHAL EPISTLE OF ST. JOHN MAXIMOVITCH, 1940

Christ is Risen!

 Let us arise in the deep dawn,

And instead of myrrh offer a hymn to the Lord.

We forestall the rising of the sun, and hasten in the depth of night to meet the Sun of Righteousness. The present night is not an ordinary night! Brighter than day, it fills our souls with light! The rays of the Sun of the world illumine us and the whole universe, enlightening all who come to His light. The warmth poured out through His rays penetrates all our members, filling our souls with deep peace, even healing our bodily illnesses. This warmth melts away our sorrows, and our passions are burned away as by fire. Enmity and hatred disappear from us, we forget our bitterness, and we do not feel our impoverishment. The whole world becomes different in this holy and only night! All nature is changed, and everything is filled with warmth and light. Just as birds of prey hide at the rising of the sun, and wild beasts disappear into their dens, so does evil flee from every heart illumined today by the Light which radiates from the tomb. Like the morning dew, now are our tears dried away! As blossoms unfold at the onset of day, enlivened by the sun’s rays, so do virtues return to us as the Sun rises upon us this morning. Let us strive to be wholly illuminated by this wondrous light! When spring comes, we open all the windows and doors of our homes, that the warmth may enter and dry the dankness within. Now the Divine Light can also enter; but it cannot shine within souls that have closed themselves, and do not want to be illumined by that Light.


  Let us open our souls and hearts! Let us hasten with the myrrh-bearers, let us come bearing our lamps to Christ, Who has come forth from the tomb! Even if you are burdened by sins, do not turn away; for today even those in the bonds of hell hasten to the Light with joyful feet.Even if you are poor and haven’t the means to buy candles and myrrh, do not turn away. Let our hearts and souls burn in place of candles. There is no impoverishment in the world! In these past days, we were all called to bring our material offerings and bodily ascetic labors as myrrh. Now we all are called to partake of spiritual joy. This is the day which the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it!Instead of myrrh and material offerings, let us bring a hymn to the Lord. Let us sing the praise of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, God! Let us open now the doors and windows of our souls and hearts, that they might be warmed by the rays of the Sun of Righteousness! From the outermost border of heaven is His going forth, and His goal is unto the outermost part of heaven, and there shall no man hide himself from His heat (Ps. 18:6). Now all things are filled with light: heaven and earth and the nether regions (Ode 3 of the Paschal Canon).  Only we are impenetrable if we do not want Him! If you do not feel this radiant joy today, seek the reason within yourself only. It would be insane for a man to claim that the sun does not exist, only because he does not see it from within his tightly closed and shuttered dwelling. Pitiable is the blind man who keeps telling everyone that there is no such thing as light, only because he does not see it! It would look very foolish for a man to insist that spring has not come, only because no warmth has penetrated into his locked cellar! We praise the gentle light, the holy glory of the immortal Heavenly Father—the Resurrected Lord, crying out to Him from the depth of our souls, MEET IT IS FOR THEE AT ALL TIMES TO BE HYMNED!


Then the light of Christ that enlightens all will enlighten even us, and we shall behold Christ the Sun of Righteousness, Who shines upon all life!


 Christ is Risen!

 The Bright Resurrection of Christ,

 + JOHN, Bishop of Shanghai,

 1940, Shanghai
