WHY FAST BEFORE NATIVITY
QUESTION:
I was wondering why we fast before Nativity. The Lenten
fast seems more obvious. Also, from what foods do we
normally fast from during the Nativity fast?
ANSWER:
We fast before the Great Feast of the Nativity in order to
prepare ourselves for the celebration of Our Lord's birth.
As in the case of Great Lent, the Nativity Fast is one of
preparation, during which we focus on the coming of the
Savior by fasting, prayer, and almsgiving.
By fasting, we "shift our focus" from ourselves to others,
spending less time worrying about what to eat, when to
eat, how much to eat, and so on in order to use our time
in increased prayer and caring for the poor. We learn
through fasting that we can gain control over things which
we sometimes allow to control us -- and for many people,
food is a controlling factor. [We live in the only society in
which an entire TV network is devoted to food!] While
fasting from food, however, we are also challenged to fast
from sin, from gossip, from jealousy, from anger, and from
those other things which, while well within our control, we
all too often allow to control us.
Altar Boys
Andrew George Popa, Christopher Oancea
Nicholas-Jason Oita.
Just as we would refrain from eating a lot before going to
an expensive restaurant for dinner -- if we "ruin our
appetite" we will enjoy the restaurant less -- so too we fast
before the Nativity in order to more fully feast and
celebrate on the Nativity itself.
During the Nativity Fast, we are called upon to refrain
from meat, dairy, fish, wine, and olive oil. At the same
time, we are challenged, within this framework, to fast to
the best of our ability, and to do so consistently. If we
must modify the extent to which we fast within this
framework, it is of course possible, but in every instance
our fasting should be consistent and regular, for Christ
does not see fasting as an option, but as a "must." In
Matthew Christ says, "WHEN you fast, do not be like the
hypocrites," not "IF you fast" or "IF YOU CHOOSE to fast."
Finally, it seems quite odd that in our society -- a society in
which people gladly and freely spend huge sums of money
for diets, most of which recommend that one refrain from
red meats and dairy products -- fasting is not more widely
embraced. How odd that a Jenny Craig consultant or diet
guru or physician will tell us to refrain from eating meat or
cheese or butter and we will gladly embrace -- and pay
large sums of money for -- his or her advice, while when
the Church offers the same advice [at "no cost"] we tend
to balk, as if we were being asked to do the impossible.

„Saint Nicholas” Romanian Orthodox
Parish: 100th Anniversary
Our sister parish of Alliance observed this past
weekend its first century of existence. Father and Psa Panteleimon Stanciu and their parishioners
greeted H. E., Archbishop Nathaniel and H.G.
Bishop Mark of Baltimore (OCA) with bread and salt,
a Romanian symbol of hospitality. Beside the holy
hierarchs, the Memorial service for the founders, as
well as Great Vespers were concelebrated by the
local Priest and Dean, father Stanciu and V. Rev.
Fathers: Igoumen Calinic (Hermitage), George Treff
(Canton), Remus Grama (Cleveland), Ian Pac-Urar
(Akron). A festive dinner and artistic program
followed in the fellowship hall.
Donations for Cici Zamfir
This Sunday, our parish offers a Parastas for the soul
of Cici Zamfir. His friends from the Dacia Soccer
team are offering the meal. Many parishioners
intend to make a donation so that we could place a
marker at his grave. We need about $1,000. All
donations should be directed to St. Mary’s.
Parish Council Meeting
Wed. November 14 at 7 PM
Nativity Fast Begins
Thursday November 15 we begin the Christmas
Fast. This Lenten time is less restrictive than Great
Lent, including many dispensations to fish. However,
it is a time of preparation for the Birth of our Savior
through fasting and prayer. Organizations and
individuals are reminded to refrain from scheduling
parties during this time. According to our Church’s
teaching Christmas parties in lent are not
appropriate. We recommend that such parties
should be scheduled on or after the event.
AROY Spiritual Retreat
Archbishop Nathaniel admires the cultural display on stage
The celebration was crowned with the Divine Liturgy
on Sunday and the anniversary banquet. We wish
Father Stanciu and all our friends from Alliance a
renewed and fruitful mission!
Saturday, Nov. 17, at 1:30 our parish youth will
come together with Father Grama to discuss Youth
Faith Issues. At the end, we will have Confessions
and pray the evening service. Invite your friends and
come. No age limitation. No fee.
All-American Orthodox Council (OCA)
Memorial Saturday / Moşii de Toamnă
A week before the beginning
of Nativity Fast we remember
again
our
predecessors
(Romanian: moşii) who have
fallen asleep in the faith.
Many families attended the
service and brought the
traditional
baskets with
coliva, bread, wine and
candle. The founders of the
church and our hierarchs and parish clergy were
mentioned in prayers together with all the dyptics
brought by the faithful.
The legislative body of the OCA will meet on Nov. 13
at Holy Trinity Church, Parma, to elect a new
Primate Metropolitan. In the interim period, our
Archbishop Nathaniel has served as locum tenens
for the office of the Metropolitan. Our parish will be
represented by Father Remus Grama and Pauline
Trutza.
Congratulations, Newly Baptized!
Sofia Maria daughter of Sorin & Amalia Stoica
was baptized in our church Saturday, November

Draga Trifu
40 de capete ale Maicii Gavrilia
1. Orice loc poate deveni locul
Invierii. Este de-ajuns sa traiesti
smerenia lui Hristos.
2. Nu o cunoastere pe care s-o
dobandesti, ci o cunoastere pe
care s-o patimesti – asta-i
spiritualitatea ortodoxa.
3. Exista o singura educatie: sa
invatam
sa-L
iubim
pe
Dumnezeu.
4. Mai bine iadul aici decat in
lumea cealalta.
5. Nu-i important ceea ce zicem, ci ceea ce traim. Nu
ceea ce facem, ci ceea ce suntem.
6. Daca ai dragoste pentru intreaga lume, atunci intreaga
lume e frumoasa.
7. Cel cel ce iubeste nu baga de seama c-o face, asa cum
nu baga de seama nici ca respira.
8. Cand mintea nu este risipita in lucruri lumesti si este
unita cu Dumnezeu, atunci si un “Buna ziua” pe care il
zicem devine o binecuvantare.
9. Doar cand cineva inceteaza sa mai citeasca alte carti
in afara Evangheliei [in general a cartilor duhovnicesti,
probabil, n.n.] incepe sa sporeasca launtric cu adevarat.
Doar atunci, unit cu Dumnezeu prin Rugaciune, poate
auzi voia lui Dumnezeu.
10. Adesea Dumnezeu nu doreste fapta, ci intentia. E de
ajuns sa vada ca esti gata sa-I implinesti porunca.
11. Cand Dumnezeu ne-a facut, ne-a dat viata si a suflat
in noi Duhul Sau. Duhul acesta este Dragoste. Cand nu
avem dragoste, devenim cadavre si suntem cu totul
morti.
12. Nu-ti dori nimic altceva decat voia lui Dumnezeu si
primeste cu dragoste relele care vin asupra ta.
13. Sa nu raspunzi cuiva cu raul pe care ti l-a facut, ci
vezi-L pe Hristos in inima lui.
14. Sa nu spui niciodata: “De ce mi s-a intamplat asta?”
Sau cand vezi pe cineva cu cangrena sau cancer sau orb,
sa nu te intrebi “De ce li s-a intamplat asta?“ Cere-i lui
Dumnezeu sa-ti arate celalalt mal al raului. Atunci vei
vedea, impreuna cu ingerii cum stau lucrurile: toate sunt
dupa randuiala lui Dumnezeu. Toate!
15. Daca ai ganduri de judecata impotriva altcuiva, cereI lui Dumnezeu sa se ingrijeasca de tine in acel ceas, ca
sa-l poti iubi pe acel om asa cum il iubeste El. Atunci
Dumnezeu te va ajuta sa-ti vezi starea. Daca L-ai vedea
pe Hristos, ai mai judeca?
16. Tot ce spunem ramane in vesnicie.
17. Cand avem nevoie, Dumnezeu ne va trimite pe
cineva. Toti suntem impreuna-calatori.
18. Cei ce traiesc in trecut sunt ca morti. Cei ce traiesc
in viitor, in inchipuirile lor, sunt naivi, pentru ca viitorul
e doar al lui Dumnezeu. Bucuria lui Hristos se gaseste
doar in clipa de fata, in Prezentul vesnic al lui
Dumnezeu.
19. Mai bine sa rostesti Rugaciunea lui Iisus cu glas
tare, decat deloc.
20. Tulburarea si grija sunt pentru cei ce n-au credinta.
21. Dragostea este doar pe Cruce.
22. Asa cum Dumnezeu te iubeste pe tine, il iubeste si
pe dusmanul tau.
23. Ar trebui sa facem in asa fel incat sa traim in lume
ca uleiul si apa dintr-o candela, care nu se amesteca si
altfel sunt intru si pentru Dumnezeu: in lume, sau nu din
lume.
24. Toti suntem vase, uneori ale Luminii, alteori ale
Intunericului.
25. Ca sa se savarseasca o minune, e deajuns sa iubim.
Nici rugaciunea, nici metania n-au asa putere!
26. Experienta m-a invatat ca nimeni nu poate ajuta pe
nimeni, oricat de mult si-ar dori, din dragoste, s-o faca.
Singurul ajutor vine doar de la Dumnezeu, cand e
vremea Sa.
27. Daca-L avem pururea pe Dumnezeu in minte, si
Dumnezeu ne are pururea in minte.
28. Nu trebuie sa hotaram pentru altii. Sa-i lasam in
seama ingerilor si vor gasi cea mai buna solutie.
29. Cand vorbim si cineva ne intrerupe, sa nu
continuam. Inseamna ca nu va auzi ce avem de spus.
Ingerii fac asa.
30. Tot ce ni se intampla este doar din vina noastra.
31. In fiecare dimineata, deschide o pagina noua si
iscaleste-o in alb. Si lasa-L pe Dumnezeu sa scrie ce
voieste.
32. De nu vei ajunge in pragul deznadejdii, nu vei vedea
nicicand Lumina.
33. Precum Simon Kirineanul, sa fim gata sa sarim in
ajutorul aproapelui nostru.
34. Singura bucurie adevarata este eliberarea de grija.
35. Cea mai puternica rugaciune este Epicleza
(pogorarea Sfantului Duh) de la Dumnezeiasca
Liturghie.
36. Dragostea este o bomba care nimiceste tot raul.
37. Unii vor sa ajunga la Inviere fara sa treaca pe calea
Golgotei.
38. Zi si noapte binecuvanta-vom pe Domnul pentru
darurile ce ni le da!
39. Putine cuvinte, multa dragoste. Pentru toti. Oricine
ar fi ei.
40. Cea mai mare parte a rugaciunii mele este de
multumire. Ce altceva sa cer, daca am totul?
