The power of the resurrection is beyond man’s imagination, therefore it is safe to say that the resurrection could never be described in human words.  Holy Trinity Orthodox Church http://www.orthodoxct.org/news_120428_1.html http://www.orthodoxct.org/news_120428_1.html Sat, 28 Apr 2012 19:00:48 -0400 Come to the services of Passion Week, repent, be changed; and prepare to embrace our Lord in a way that we thought was not yet possible...

If we do not surrender and say ‘yes’, then our life becomes separated from God to some degree.

There is no need to repeat it. What is perhaps most notable about Zacchaeus is not simply his desire to change, or even that he struggled to change, but ultimately he resolved to stay changed.

Historically the meetings have been an excellent opportunity for each of us to review the past year and plan for the next. As part of each church’s Assembly is the review and acceptance of an annual budget.

The entire year, complete with its full sanctoral and festal cycle, is capable of transfiguring man…if  we allow it to.

The Birth of the Man Jesus  occurs at a specific time and place in history, which is called the Incarnation, the taking on of human flesh.
