My Beloved Ones,
Χριστὸς ἀνέστη! Ἀληθῶς ἀνέστη!
Christ is Risen! Truly He is Risen!
The readings for this Sunday of the Blind Man give us two important examples of the strength that comes from true belief in God.
In the Gospel, the Disciples encounter a blind beggar, for whom Jesus anoints his eyes, telling him to go and wash in the pool of Siloam. After he receives his sight, the blind man’s neighbors do not believe, and the Pharisees wish to use his own words against Christ. Though the man is cast out from the synagogue, Jesus approaches him, asking, “Do you believe in the Son of man?” He answered, “And who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?” Jesus said to him, “You have seen him, and it is he who speaks to you.” He said, “Lord, I believe”; and he worshiped him. (John 9:35-38)
Let us now look at this Sunday’s reading from the Book of Acts.

This past week we hosted conference calls via Zoom with all the parishes in our God protected Metropolis. I offer my sincere gratitude to all who participated in these meetings as they were very beneficial, not only for those who attended, but for myself as well. In those meetings, we were able to review, assess the regulations of each State and see how we can best celebrate our Church Services in each location. From our discussions, we received valuable information to share with all of you.Read More -

Our society today is dealing with the pandemic of COVID-19, which is an infectious and deadly virus. We must consistently think about other people: relatives, co-workers, strangers--as well as ourselves, in order to create a safe society. In our great country, it is impossible for us all to be the same, for even the land, that we live in has mountains, valleys, small and large cities. Each place has different requirements and different rules to live by, for all to be safe...Read More -
