Miracles are not impossible from a logical

standpoint, and right reason does not deny
them.
Natural laws do not have the claim to be the only
ones, nor are they threatened with being
overturned by the appearance of other Laws
Supernatural Laws - that also are conducive to
the development and furtherance of Creation
Miracles are a consequence of our Creators Love
for His creatures.
St. Nektarios of Aegina

Christians, have we understood the great responsibility that

we have taken on before God through Baptism?
Have we come to know that we must conduct ourselves as
Children of God, that we must align our will with the
Will of God, that we must remain free from sin, that we
must Love God with all our hearts and always patiently
await Union with Him?
Have we thought about the fact that our heart should be so
filled with Love that it should overflow to our neighbour?
Do we have the feeling that we must become Holy and
Perfect, Children of God and Heirs of the Kingdom of
Heaven?
We must Struggle for this, so that we may not be shown
unworthy and rejected.
Let none of us lose our Boldness, nor neglect our duties, nor
be afraid of the Difficulties of Spiritual Struggle.
For we have God as our Helper, Who Strengthens us in the
difficult Path of Virtue.

It was customary for respected Rabbis to arbitrate personal disputes.

However, a dispute over an inheritance is detrimental to our Salvation, for
such greed is pure idolatry and unfitting for anyone who knows God
who has a close, intimate Relationship with God and who strives to
faithfully fufil all Christs Teachings and Commandments.
This account is totally incompatible with our Saviours Teachings and
Revelations concerning our Most Merciful, Benevolent and Providential
God.
Our Lord Jesus always warns us against being anxious and greedy. He does
not warn us against careful planning though.
Our physical and Spiritual Welfare is directly dependent on Almighty God
and only indirectly on food, drink and clothing, etc.
Anxiety or obsession over earthly matters reveals a lack of Faith in Divine
Providence, Divine Love and Gods Great Mercy.
The Gentiles served their pagan idols so they remained consumed by their
dependence on earthly things, while those who are Faithful to Almighty
God are utterly free of such worries and fixations.
The Eternal Kingdom of God is the main focus of our Lords Divine Teachings
and Commandments.
Christ encourages us to focus on His Heavenly Kingdom of Love so that we
become utterly secure in our Faith our confident Trust that our Loving
Creator provides us all with every Blessing on Earth everything that we
could possible need or require for our physical and Spiritual Welfare and
Progress.
Our Lord draws our contemplation to the fauna and flora the beautiful
Creation of God, for which He provides everything necessary for it to
flourish, blossom and produce the next generation of fruit, vegetation or
animal.
Once we realise the magnificence of Gods Divine Creation that is absolutely
dependent on His Great Mercy, we must then realise that as the Crown of
His Creation i.e. mankind whom God infinitely Loves, He will take even
better care of us as His Beloved Children.
Our Lord urges us to surrender ourselves to His Great Mercy and inifinite
Divine Love because when we have learnt to do so, we will rest assured,
and never be anxious about any earthly matters again.
We can then concentrate all our energy and strength upon our constant
Spiritual Struggles while we ...seek the Kingdom of Heaven.

Lord.
All trials, tribulations and disappointments of our Spiritual Struggle and
Warfare while we Live in Christ are truly worthwhile.
As Spiritually Healthy as the Thessalonian Christian Community was, St Paul
took nothing for granted. (There were many problems to contend with in
the Corinthian Christian Community.)
Even those who are well-grounded, fully Enlightened and deeply committed
need constant encouragement, Sacred Instruction and Prayers.
The term Minister is from the Greek word Diakonon, from which Deacon
is derived.
Fellow Labourer is Synergon, from which the word Synergy is derived.
As Ministers of God, all Holy Disciples of Christ not only represent our Lord
God, but we also ceaselessly work together with Him and with our fellow
Christians.
Consequently, each one of us must make every effort to follow precisely the
Teachings and Commandments of our Saviour exactly as He taught
them to us, without any change or modernisation at all!
His Divine Truth and Teachings are absolutely Perfect, and if one jot or tittle
is altered, deleted or added to, It is no longer Divinely Perfect!!
The expression always and remembrance refer to our Life of Prayer.
As Faithful Disciples of Christ we constantly pray for each other, including
those of us who have already Reposed in Christ.
These are unselfish Prayers that have much Spiritual Benefit to both those for
whom we pray and for ourselves. So if we are asked to pray for others,
we must definitely ensure that we do so!!
Being fully committed to the Lord our God, we strive ceaselessly to truly Live
in Christ always trying to fulfil His Teachings and Commandments.
To Live in Christ is to truly, and fully Live!! Alive and utterly free!!

Devout Father, Thou devoted Thy Life

to the Divine Law, and in doing so,
Thou emulated the Life of Saints of
old. When Thou made the mind that is
set on the flesh subject to the soul,
Thou did what was Good, and Thou
Vested Thyself in Holiness, as a
Hierarch Wise in Things Divine and a
genuine Worker of Virtue. Therefore,
Thou were vividly Glorified by God,
and the Casket of Thy Holy Relics
became a Well Spring of Cures and
Healings, by the Overshadowing of the
Holy Spirit. Now, we pray Thee, O
Blessed Nektarios, sprinkle our souls
with the Nectar of Thy Grace and
Intercede with our Lord to grant us His
Great Mercy.

O Faithful, let us praise. For he
gushes forth Healings of every kind
to those who reverently cry out:

Glory to Christ Who Glorified Thee!

Glory to Him for Thy Miracles!

Glory to Him Who through Thee
effects Cures for all!

Praise Him with strings and flute!

who devoutly worships Thee, as an
Unshaken Foundation of True Belief,
and a Pillar of Thy Holy Church.

Praise Him with triumphant cymbals!
Let everything that has breath praise
