2019.12.19 - The Word of God at the Feast of the Saint Hierarch Nicholas, Lord Jesus [distant reading txt] 📗

the day, but also prayers, songs, and heavenly works, and then at night again, sons, and this saved you then, in the time of trial. For by entering your house of praying, they had become guilty, and then many suffered because of their evil spirit aroused against you during those days.

 

Oh, how wonderfully the Lord had worked, how wonderfully for you then! Such a day-to-day living with the Lord protects you from anything might come to you with evil from the people or from the devil, and this has saved you from the trap set then for you, sons. Your house had work of praying from you to the Lord, and it had watching nights with the Lord, My sons, and behold the enemies were defeated! Now, the Lord has you, for He has kept you, but you have also kept Him, and do not forget about the Lord and His saints!

 

We are with you, you are not alone. As your shadows follow you before the son and it cannot hide, the same is the heaven with you on the way all the time day and night, for the Lord is your son, sons. And I am saying to you on my day of feast among the saints: peace to you, sons! The heaven keeps you within its mystery. Peace to you! Amen.

 

⸻ Oh, behold the word of My bishop is upon you. Do not forget to be salt and do not forget to be light, sons! When you are struck, let your souls not bleed but rather shine, sons, so that you may be the light of the world as I am. This is your duty: to salt and give light to the world, for the river of My word upon you salts and shines. (See the selection topic: „This word is the river of life”, r.n.) And, as I am in My work with you, so are you to be; to set on earth salt and light by My word, oh, sons. Amen, amen, amen.

[2] Old Style (O.S.) and New Style (N.S.) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Style_and_New_Style_dates) are sometimes used with dates to indicate either whether the start of the Julian year has been adjusted to start on 1 January (N.S.) even though documents written at the time use a different start of year (O.S.), or whether a date conforms to the Julian calendar (O.S.), formerly in use in many countries, rather than the Gregorian (N.S.)

The Church Calendar (in Romania) up to 1924 was the same as that of Nicaea, based on severe apostolic canons, but in 1924, the Scripture of the prophet Daniel was fulfilled: «the people made bold to even change the times», when the primate metropolitan - of that time, Miron Cristea, (Primate metropolitan = (in the past) a title given to the first metropolitan of a country; today it would be equal to that of a patriarch) introduced the Gregorian Calendar (Catholic) as result of a „pan-Orthodox” congress that took place in 1923, in Constantinople. At that congress, the patriarch of that time, Meletie, proposed the acceptance of the „revised” Julian Calendar, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revised_Julian_calendar) which was in accord with the Catholic one for a period up to the year 2800 and „it was allowing that all the feasts to be celebrated at the same time with those of other confessions”.  «… and he shall wear out the saints of the Most High and he shall think to change the times and the law…» (Daniel 7/25), r.n.
