UKRAINE – Urgent Crisis Appeal (ROCOR’s Fund for Assistance)

Posted on by
Dear Brethren & Friends of St Elizabeth’s,
As I mentioned in the announcements after liturgy last Sunday, here is a trustworthy church organization collecting funds to help those innocent victims suffering in Ukraine. As a reminder, ROCOR is a worldwide church whose members consist of Russians, Ukrainians, Belarusians, Moldovans, and converts from the lands where the church finds herself (not forgetting Georgians, Serbians, Bulgarians, and Romanians). ROCOR’s stance is for peace. We pray for this at every divine service and we offer special prayers at liturgy for peace in Ukraine to prevail. I ask all of you to pray for peace in your daily prayers and, if you are blessed with the means, to contribute to ROCOR’s Fund for Assistance linked below.
With much love in Christ,
Fr Mark

PS FWIW, I have been out and about today in the area and it does seem that most of the snow has already melted away and the streets were dry for the most part.

Sunday, January 16, 2022 – Liturgy Cancelled This Morning – Inclement Weather Concerns

Posted on by
Dear Brethren & Friends of St Elizabeth’s,
I have been reviewing the weather this morning (as I am listening to the freezing rain here in my part of Red Bank) and if it’s to get worse, it’s projected to happen between 8am – 10am. Considering the weather and travel advisories, we are going to exercise an abundance of caution and cancel our church services this morning. Please stay home, stay safe, and be sure to say your prayers.
With much love in Christ,
Fr Mark

A Few Notes for Bright Week and the Paschal Season

Posted on by

A Few Notes for Bright Week and the Paschal Season
By Archpriest Mark Mancuso

  • We greet one another during the entire Paschal season (which lasts 40 days) with the words: “Christ is risen!” and the response to the greeting is: “Indeed, He is risen!”
  • During Bright Week, the Holy Doors and the Deacons’ doors of the iconostasis remain open symbolizing the empty tomb of our Master and Savior: Christ is risen!
  • During Bright Week, our prayers in church and at home are sung and not read as we sing all week the feast of the risen Christ: Christ is risen!
  • During Bright Week, our morning and evening prayers are replaced by the singing of the short service of the Hours of Pascha (see your prayer books): Christ is risen!
  • During Bright Week, we do not read from the psalter at home or in church for the prophecies have been fulfilled: Christ is risen!
  • During Bright Week, there is no fasting as we are at feast with the Bridegroom who processes forth from the tomb: Christ is risen!
  • During the entire Paschal season and extending to Pentecost there is no prostrating or kneeling permitted in church or at home for we stand with the resurrected Christ: Christ is risen!
  • During the Paschal season we begin all of our prayers at home and in church by singing the troparion of Pascha: “Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death, and upon those in the tombs bestowing life!”
  • During the Paschal season and extending to Pentecost, we do not pray “O Heavenly King, the Comforter, the Spirit of Truth…” for the Comforter comes on Pentecost. Christ is risen!
  • And most important of all: “A Pascha worthy of all honor has dawned for us. Pascha! Let us embrace each other joyously!…This is the day of resurrection. Let us be illumined by the feast. Let us embrace each other. Let us call ‘Brother’ even those who hate us, and forgive all by the resurrection, and so let us cry: Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death, and upon those in the tombs bestowing life!” “And unto us He has given eternal life. Let us worship His resurrection on the third day!”

Lenten Quotations for the 6th Week of Great Lent (from The Lenten Triodion)

Posted on by
Dear Brethren and Friends of St Elizabeth’s,
Linked below are some of the stichera (verses) from the services of Matins and Vespers for the sixth week of Great Lent. They are taken from The Lenten Triodion, which is the special liturgical book used during this season of the year for our worship and edification. The verses chosen focus on how fasting, prayer, and practicing the Christian virtues are essential for our spiritual life, which is being “refocused” during Great Lent.
With much love in Christ,
Fr Mark
