8th Sunday after Pentecost | | Христос међу нама! Christ is in our midst! Cristo esta entra nosotros! | | |
Homily on the 8th Sunday of Pentecost
by St. Nikolaj of Zhicha and All-America
Only one thing is needful: the Kingdom of God. Christ the Wonder-worker strove to direct the eyes of all men to this one point. He who so looks has one thought -- God; one feeling -- love; one yearning -- to draw near to God. Blessed is he who has come to this integrity; such a man has become like a glass lens that concentrates the sun's rays in order to produce fire.
All that the Most High does, He does as is fitting. There is nothing in what He does that is aimless, unnecessary or superfluous. Why do some people wander about so aimlessly and do so many aimless things? Because they are unaware of the purpose of their lives and the goal of their journeying. Why do some people load themselves down with unnecessary cares, being scarcely able to move under the great heap of superfluous things? Because they do not know the one thing that is needful.
In order to bring together man’s fragmented mind, to heal man’s divided heart and to unite man’s disordered strength — in order to do all this, the Lord Jesus, from first to last, revealed one goal, and one only: the Kingdom of God. A cross-eyed man looking two ways at once sees neither way. Oh, how aimless is the life of a man striving after many ends! How insensitive is a divided heart! How weak is the will if its strength is frittered away!
Only one thing is needful: the Kingdom of God. Christ the Wonder-worker strove to direct the eyes of all men to this one point. He who so looks has one thought — God; one feeling — love; one yearning — to draw near to God. Blessed is he who has come to this integrity; such a man has become like a glass lens that concentrates the sun’s rays in order to produce fire.
The words that the Lord said to Martha: “Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things, but one thing is needful” (Luke 10:41-2) were, in fact, said as a reprimand and a warning to the whole of mankind. And this one thing needful is the Kingdom of God (cf. Matthew 6:33). All that the Lord said and did was done with this aim in view. To this point was gathered all the flame that lights travelers as they wander around the chasms and whirlpools of this transitory life.
All that the Lord does is fitting; all is done with this highest, this sole and unique, aim; all is fitting and absolutely necessary both in the words spoken and the deeds accomplished. Never a superfluous word; never an inappropriate deed. And how fruitful were His words and deeds! How many millions of times has the fruit of every word and deed of His borne fruit, right down to our own times! And how sweet, fragrant and life-giving is that fruit!
Why did the Lord not turn stones to bread when Satan sought this of Him? On two later occasions, when the multitude around Him was hungry, He turned a little bread into a vast amount, so that there was even more left over than there was at the beginning of the meal. The first miracle, however (the turning of stones to bread), would have been inappropriate, unnecessary and superfluous, while the second (the multiplying of bread) was appropriate, necessary and fitting.
Why would the Lord give no sign from heaven to the Pharisees when they demanded this of Him? Did He not give such signs from heaven on innumerable occasions: unheard-of miracles on the sick, on lepers, the mad, the fearful and the dead? Because every sign from heaven to the envious and vain Pharisees would have been inappropriate, unnecessary and superfluous, while in the other cases it was appropriate, necessary and fitting.
Why did the Lord not move mountains from one place to another, or cast them into the sea? He could have done so: there is no doubt of that; so why did He not do so? He who was able to command the stormy sea to be calm, and the winds to be still, could undoubtedly have moved mountains and cast them into the sea. But what purpose would have been served? None whatever. And the Lord therefore did not do this. There was, though, a great need for the sea to be calmed and the wind to be stilled, for men were drowning and crying out for help.
Only devils and sinners demand aimless, unnecessary and superfluous miracles of Christ. Just look at what senseless things Satan demanded of the Lord: to turn stones into bread in the wilderness and to leap down from the pinnacle of the Temple! And see how the hardened sinners, the Pharisees and scribes, who had witnessed many of Christ’s miracles that were of service to men, sought some further sign of Him, some aimless and superfluous miracle like casting a mountain into the sea! The Lord therefore refused these demands by the devil and the sinners. But He never refused to perform miracles when they would be appropriate and of service for the salvation of men.
Today’s Gospel describes one such appropriate and necessary miracle, the multiplying of bread in the wilderness; not an unpeopled wilderness, or a wilderness where there is only the devil, but a wilderness where there were more than ten thousand hungry people (for it is said that there were five thousand men, besides women and children).

RESURRECTIONAL TROPARION—TONE 7
By Your Cross You destroyed death. To the thief You opened Paradise. For the Myrrhbearers You changed weeping into joy. And You commanded Your disciples, O Christ God, to proclaim that You are risen, granting the world great mercy.
HOLY FATHER NICHOLAS TROPARION—TONE 4
Truly you were revealed to your flock as a rule of faith, an image of humility and a teacher of abstinence; your humility exalted you; your poverty enriched you. Hierarch Father Nicholas, entreat Christ our God that our souls may be saved.
PROPHET EZEKIEL TROPARION—TONE 2
We celebrate the memory of Your prophet Ezekiel, O Lord; through him we entreat You, save our souls!
RESURRECTIONAL KONTAKION—TONE 7
The dominion of death can no longer hold mankind captive, for Christ descended, shattering and destroying its powers. Hell is bound, while the Prophets rejoice and cry: “The Savior has come to those in faith; enter, you faithful, into the Resurrection!”
HYMN TO THE MOTHER OF GOD KONTAKION—TONE 6
Steadfast Protectress of Christians and constant Advocate before the Creator; despise not the cry of us sinners, but come speedily to help those who call on You in faith. Hasten to hear our petition and to intercede for us, O Theotokos, for You always protect those who honor You!

READER: Brothers and Sisters, we then who are strong ought to bear with the scruples of the weak, and not to please ourselves. Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, leading to edification. For even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is written, “The reproaches of those who reproached You fell on Me.” For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope. Now may the God of patience and comfort grant you to be like-minded toward one another, according to Christ Jesus, that you may with one mind and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore receive one another, just as Christ also received us, to the glory of God.

LITURGY GOSPEL: Matthew 14:14-22
At that time, when Jesus went out He saw a great multitude; and He was moved with compassion for them, and healed their sick. When it was evening, His disciples came to Him, saying, “This is a deserted place, and the hour is already late. Send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages and buy themselves food.” But Jesus said to them, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.” And they said to Him, “We have here only five loaves and two fish.” He said, “Bring them here to Me.” Then He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass. And He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke and gave the loaves to the disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitudes. So they all ate and were filled, and they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments that remained. Now those who had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children. Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, while He sent the multitudes away.

ЈЕВАНЂЕЉЕ: Матеј 14:14-22
У вријеме оно Исус видје многи народ, и сажали се на њих, и исцијели болеснике њихове. А пред вече приступише му ученици његови говорећи: Овдје је пусто мјесто, а већ је доцкан; отпусти народ нека иде у села да купи себи хране. А Исус им рече: Нема потребе да иду; подајте им ви нека једу. А они му рекоше: Немамо овдје до само пет хљебова и двије рибе. А он рече: Донесите их мени овамо. И заповједи народу да посједају по трави, па узе оних пет хљебова и двије рибе, и погледавши на небо благослови, и преломивши даде ученицима, а ученици народу. И једоше сви и наситише се, и накупише комада што претече дванаест котарица пуних. А оних што су јели бјеше људи око пет хиљада, осим жена и дјеце. И одмах принуди Исус ученике своје да уђу у лађу и иду прије њега на ону страну док он отпусти народ.

FOOD SURPLUS FOR SHADELAND
A generous donor has given us a gift of surplus food. PLEASE visit the table in the Social Hall and take what you or someone you know can use. Donate what you can, help someone in need and save money at the same time! Remember to check the table every time you are at church as supplies will change frequently. ALL proceeds will go to support our St. Sava Shadeland Camp!!!
SHADELAND COLLECTION
The operation of our St. Sava Shadeland Camp has been subsidized by the Diocesan Endowment for the Future. This endowment was based upon the royalties we received from natural gas and oil wells and is now depleted. Currently, we no longer have any reliable income from these wells. Camp fees have been kept artificially low due to these royalties. This means that there is a deficit of $150,000 to run the camp each year. Additionally, there are approximately $225,000 in repairs and maintenance that will be necessary in the next 3 years. The Diocese is asking for donations to offset the operating costs. These donations may be given directly to the Diocese, to our local church here at St. Nicholas, by renting Shadeland Camp for your event, or purchasing a hunting license, thus increasing annual revenue. Checks can be made payable to St. Nicholas Church with Shadeland in the memo and given to our Church, or go to easterndiocese.org to donate directly to the Diocese.
BULLETIN DEADLINE
Please send all Bulletin requests to the church office at office@stnicholassteelton.org. You may also call (717) 939-3872. Bulletin Deadline is Wednesday at 11 am.

Stewardship Reflection
Reflection from St. John Chrysostom...
When a tailor makes and sells a garment, only one service is performed, that of putting clothes on the body. The same is true of the cobbler making and selling a pair of shoes; the only service in this case is to put shoes on the feet. But when a person makes a gift to another person, of money or some object, a double service is performed. First, the receiver derives a material benefit from the gift. Second, the giver derives a spiritual benefit because this act of generosity would have brought a blessing to his soul.
Размишљање Управништво
Од Светог Јована Златоустог ...
Када кројач искроји и прода одело онда је само једна служба учуњена , облачење некога. Када обућар направи пар ципела и прода их једнина услуга је начињена ономе који их носи. Али када нека особа даде нешто некоме , новац или било шта друго онда је учињена двострука услуга. Прво онај који добија , добија материјалини поклон и чини га срећним . Друго онај који даје добија духовни добитак јер чин даривања доноси благодат души.
