“Oh Death, where is thy sting? O Hell, where is thy victory? Christ is risen and thou art overthrown. Christ is risen and the demons are fallen. Christ is risen, and the angels rejoice. Christ is risen and life reigns. Christ is risen, and not one dead remains in the grave. For Christ being risen from the dead, is become the first-fruits of those who have fallen asleep. To Him be glory and dominion unto ages of ages. Amen.” — Last words of the Pascha Sermon of St. John Chrysostom
As we wind up Great Lent, please take advantage of the extra services at Archangel Gabriel Orthodox Church, especially for Holy Week (April 4 through April 12). As you increase your prayers in these weeks remaining before Pascha, also remember to increase your fasting and almsgiving to the best of your families’ ability. Your continued giving has helped to grow our community, increasing the numbers of baptisms, chrismations, and new catechumens, transforming lives as a result. Thank you!
In Christ
—Fr. Paul
“Thy resurrection, O Christ our Savior, the angels in heaven sing. Enable us on earth to glorify Thee in purity of heart.” —Troparion from the Matins of Pascha
