PASTORAL MESSAGE Dear Parishioners,

In anticipation of the Great and Holy Feast of

Pascha, I greet you in our Risen Lord and Savior

Jesus Christ!

In just a few short weeks, we will be chanting,

no, proclaiming “Christ is Risen!” For some, the

long battle of fasting during Great Lent becomes

the joy of feasting. For some, the period of preparation through

confession and askesis is completed in the receiving of Holy

Communion. For others, the trip to the Church for the Anastasis

Service is one of habit—they come and “receive the light” and leave

immediately. Into which category do you fall? For half of the

Orthodox faithful, it is a trip of habit.

Christ entered Hades so that we wouldn’t have to—thus with His

death He defeated death!!!

Christ give us “eschatological peace” through His Glorious 3rd day

Resurrection!!!

- Let this reality ring within your heart!

- Let Christ’s love overwhelm you!

- Let His Resurrection be for you a source of eternal peace!

Believe it! Really Believe it! And Proclaim it!!!

Praying that you have a Blessed Lent, I remain,

In His Service,

Rev. Father Jon Boukis

Proistamenos

LENTEN PRAYER OF ST. EPHREM Lenten Prayer of

St. Ephrem the Syrian

O Lord and Master of my life! Take from me the spirit of sloth,

faint-heartedness, lust of power, and idle talk. But give rather the spirit of chastity,

humility, patience, and love to Thy servant. Yea, Lord and King! Grant me to see my own errors

and not to judge my brother, for Thou art blessed unto ages of ages. Amen.

FUNDRAISING OPPORTUNITY

HOSPITAL VISITATION

The Assumption can now benefit from YOU shopping at

Up to 5% of your monthly spending will be

automatically transferred to the Church.

Worried about the cost of gas - Schnucks is at the

Locust St. exit (2nd exit off I-74 in Iowa) - less than

4 miles away!!! Iowa has no tax on food - it’s a wash!!!

Call Fr. Jon and get signed up for an eScrip

card and begin shopping at Schnucks today!

Hospital Visitation is a ministry that we as Orthodox

take very seriously, because it is at times when our

fallen humanity is failing that we often times also

experience spiritual weakness.

Just a reminder, hospital visitations and visitation to

our homebound parishioners are of utmost

importance, but will only occur when the request

comes from the family directly. Please respect this

policy and also the Church and the Clergy.

With pastoral love,

Rev. Father Jon S. Boukis

SATURDAY OF LAZARUS Celebrated April 11

Lazarus and his sisters Martha and Mary, the friends of the Lord Jesus, had given Him hospitality and served Him many times (Luke 10:38-4z; John 12:2-3). They were from Bethany, a village of Judea. This village is situated in the eastern parts by the foothills of the Mount of Olives, about two Roman miles from Jerusalem. When Lazarus - whose name is a Hellenized form of "Eleazar," which means "God has helped," became ill some days before the saving Passion, his sisters had this report taken to our Savior, Who was then in

Galilee. Nonetheless, He tarried yet two more days until Lazarus died; then He said to His disciples, "Let us go into Judea that I might awake My friend who sleeps." By this, of course, He meant the deep sleep of death. On arriving at Bethany, He consoled the sisters of Lazarus, who was already four days dead. Jesus groaned in spirit and was troubled at the death of His beloved friend. He asked, "Where have ye laid his body?" and He wept over him. When He drew nigh to the tomb, He commanded that they remove the stone, and He lifted up His eyes, and giving thanks to God the Father, He cried out with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come forth." And he that had been dead four days came forth immediately, bound hand and foot with the grave clothes, and Jesus said to those standing there, "Loose him, and let him go." This is the supernatural wonder wrought by the Savior that we celebrate this day. According to an ancient tradition, it is said that Lazarus was thirty years old when the Lord raised him; then he lived another thirty years on Cyprus and there reposed in the Lord. It is furthermore related that after he was raised from the dead, he never laughed till the end of his life, but that once only, when he saw someone stealing a clay vessel, he smiled and said, "Clay stealing clay." His grave is situated in the city of Kition, having the inscription: "Lazarus the four days dead and friend of Christ." In 890 his sacred relics were transferred to Constantinople by Emperor Leo the Wise, at which time undoubtedly the Emperor composed his stichera for Vespers, "Wishing to behold the tomb of Lazarus . . ."

Grant Eternal rest, O Lord, to these, Thy servants,

and bestow upon them the Eternal Life!

ΣΑΒΒΑΤΟ ΤΟΥ ΛΑΖΑΡΟΥ 11 Απριλίου

Ο Λάζαρος είχε πατρίδα τη Βηθανία

της Ιουδαίας και ήταν φίλος του

Ιησού. Και μαζί με τις αδελφές του,

πολλές φορές φιλοξένησαν και

υπηρέτησαν τον Κύριο. Ο Λάζαρος

λοιπόν, λίγες μέρες πρίν απο το

Πάθος του Κυρίου, αρρώστησε και οι

αδελφές του Μάρθα και Μαρία,

έστειλαν να ειδοποιήσουν τον Ιησού,

που έμενε τότε στη Γαλιλαία. Αλλ΄ όταν έφθασε ο Ιησούς στην

Ιουδαία, ο Λάζαρος ήδη είχε πεθάνει και ήταν θαμμένος

τέσσερις ημέρες. Τότε ο Κύριος διέταξε να σηκώσουν την

πέτρινα πλάκα που έφραζε τον τάφο και μετά απο προσευχή

φώναξε δυνατά: «Λάζαρε δεύρο έξω». Ο τεσσάρων ημερών

νεκρός Λάζαρος, αμέσως αναστήθηκε και σηκώθηκε τυλιγμένος

στα σάβανα. Αυτό το υπερφυές θαύμα λοιπόν, γιορτάζουμε την

ημέρα αυτή. Λέγεται, ότι ο Λάζαρος ήταν τότε 30 χρονών και

αφού έζησε άλλα 30 χρόνια, τέλειωσε την επίγεια ζωή του στην

Κύπρο το έτος 63. Το 890, ο αυτοκράτορας Λέων ο Σοφός,

μετακόμισε το ιερό λείψανο του Λαζάρου στην

Κωνσταντινούπολη.

Απολυτίκιον του Λαζάρου

Την κοινήν ανάστασιν προ του σου πάθους πιστούμενος, εκ

νεκρών ήγειρας τον Λάζαρον Χριστέ ο Θεός˙ όθεν και ημείς ως

οι παίδες, τα της νίκης σύμβολα φέροντες, σοι τω νικητή του

θανάτου βοώμεν˙ Ωσαννά εν τοις υψίστοις, ευλογημένος ο

ερχόμενος, εν ονόματι Κυρίου.
