Christ is Risen!
Christos Anesti! (Christ is Risen!) Alithos Anesti! (Truly, He is Risen!) This is the greeting and reply exchanged by Greek Orthodox Christians and, in their own languages, all Eastern Orthodox Churches in the world during the weeks following the celebration of Christ's Resurrection. If you are greeted with the phrase, "Christos Anesti!," answer with the phrase, "Alithos Anesti!"
SpotlightIn our parish, we have Kenneth and Kayla Kuykendall who are serving in Iraq. Here is a prayer for those that serve.
A Prayer for those servicemen and women who serve our armed forces around the world.
We thank Thee, O Lord our God for all the blessings which Thou givest us. Thou hast kept us by Thy power in good health during the night and Thou has called us up from sleep, that we may enjoy the light of day and to marvel at Thy Majesty. We entreat Thee, O Lord, grant that we may live this day without danger or sin, but full of Thy mercies and Thy divine care. Protect my family and the families of my fellow-servicemen from all evil. Enlighten the peoples who conquer and torture other nations; make them repent and seek peace, leaving other lands and their dwellers free. Open Thou the eyes of our mind to see Thy divine law and incline our hearts ever to do Thy commandments, to the glory of Thine all-holy Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.
O Thou Loving Father of us all, Who are here and everywhere, let Thy blessing be upon my loved ones at home. Keep them in Thy gracious care, protect them by Thy power and make their hearts glad in the thought of Thy nearness. Help them and help me to feel that however separated we are by distance, in Thee we are close to each other.
Amen.
