ST JOHN 17 : 1 - 13

At that time, Jesus lifted up His Eyes to

Heaven, and said: Father, the Hour
has come.
Glorify Thy Son that Thy Son may
Glorify Thee, since Thou hast
granted Him Power over all flesh,
to grant Eternal Life to all whom
Thou hast given Him.
And this is Eternal Life, that they
know Thee, the Only True God, and
Jesus Christ Whom Thou hast sent.
I Glorified Thee on Earth, having
accomplished the Work that Thou
gave Me to do.
And now, Thou Glorify Me in Thine
own Presence, Father, with the
Glory that I had with Thee before
the world was made.
I have manifested Thy Name to the
men whom Thou gave Me out of the
world.
Thine they were, and Thou gave them
to Me, and they have kept Thy
Word.
Now they know that everything that
Thou hast given Me is from Thee.
For I have given them the Words that
Thou gave Me, and they have
received them and know in Truth
that I came from thee.
And they have believed that Thou sent
Me.
I Am praying for them. I am not
praying for the world but for those
whom Thou hast given Me, for they
are Mine.
All Mine art Thine, and Thine art
Mine, and I Am Glorified in them.
And now I Am no more in the world,
but they are in the world, but they
are in the world, and I Am coming
to Thee.

PASCHA-1ST ECUMENICAL COUNCIL 24

2015

THE FIRST ECUMENICAL COUNCIL

IN

325

Emperor Constantine the Great, the first Christian King, realized that the
Church of Christ was plagued with various (incorrect) dogmatic
opinions of Arius, the Protopresbyter of Alexandria.
Emperor Constantine therefore organized in 325 the first Great Ecumenical
Council at Nicea in Asia Minor, which was attended by 318 Godbearing Fathers from throughout the Orthodox Christian world who
hastened to meet so as to deliver (protect) the Church from heresy.
Emperor Constantine attended throughout the duration of the Council,
and many of the Holy Fathers who were present had suffered greatly
for their Confession in the Name of Christ, during the reign of the
previous Emperor.
Some had one eye removed, some had their noses or their ears cut off,
while others had their hands cut off or had suffered other hideous
injuries from cruel tortures.
The first day of this Event was amazing, for at the days conclusion after the
Prayer, the earth trembled, which bore witness to the Truth that the
decisions made at the Holy Gathering, were not of the will of mankind,
but by the very Breath, Inspiration and Will of God the Holy Spirit. (i.e.
due to the Will of God the Father, through God the Son, by means of
God the Holy Spirit. mp)
The main topic of discussion was the Divinity of the Second Person of the
Holy Trinity our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
The Holy Fathers declared Christ as the Eternal, Only Begotten Son of God
...Begotten of the Father before all ages... while Arius argued that
although Christ was ...the Son of God... He was not Begotten of the
Father, but ...was created by the Father at some point in time! Thus
there was a time that the Son of God did not exist!
Arius further blasphemed against Christ, saying that Christ ...received
flesh from the Virgin Mary only in appearance and not in actuality.
Because Arius and his supporters used great, eloquent words, and the Holy
Fathers were humble and unable express themselves as eloquently as
the heretics, the Holy Fathers found themselves at a disadvantage.
Then, the Archbishop of Myra in Lycea, St Nicholas, consumed with
sadness, slapped Arius across the cheek, which was duly reported to
the Emperor, whereupon Arius succeeded in having St Nicholas
imprisoned.
In the middle of the night, St Nicholas of Myra was Visited by Christ our
Saviour and the Ever-Virgin Theotokos, from whom he received a
golden Gospel Book and a golden woven Omophorion (Palium a
Liturgical Vestment of Bishops).
Emperor Constantine, having heard about the Miracle and seeing the
Miraculous Gifts for himself, immediately released St Nicholas.
Yet another Divine Inspired Holy Hierarch who participated in the Synod
was St Spyridon of Trimythous, who used a piece of potshard to
illustrate how one single entity (a piece of pottery) was composed by
three unique entities (fire, water and clay) - a metaphor for the
Orthodox Doctrine of the Holy Trinity. As soon as he finished speaking,
the shard suddenly burst into flame, water dripped on the ground, and
only dust remained in his hand.

As Glorious as the Miracle was of the Heavenly Gifts that St Nicholas of

Myra received, this unique demonstration that St Spyridon was able to
deliver was just as equally amazing and impressive, since both
encouraged the pious to prevail over the heretics.
Slowly but surely, the Holy Fatherswith the Divine Help and Inspiration of
the Holy Spirittriumphed over the heretics, and although they were
full of Divine Love towards everyone including the heretics, our Holy
Church Fathers with mercy and with tears in their eyes anathematized and removed Arius from the Synod as ... an enemy of
the Son of God and an Antichrist.
Later, the Holy Fathers composed the Symbol of the Faith and 20 Canons,
which promoted the Liturgical Unity of the Church.
They also decided that the Orthodox Church would follow the Julian
Calendar to the end of the ages, and they wrote a Paschalion, - a
record of when Pascha is to be celebrated every year until the end of
time.
Two of the Holy Fathers Reposed during the Assembly of the First
Ecumenical Council, which saddened them all.
At the end of the First Assembly, Emperor Constantine placed the decisions
of the Synod signed by the remaining 316 Fathers in the coffins of the
two Reposed Holy Fathers.
On the morning of the second day, to the astonishment of all, upon
reopening the caskets, they found the signatures of the two Reposed
Holy Fathers on the documents resulting in all 318 signatures!

Compassionate One: Glory to Thee!

Thou
had
fulfilled
the
Dispensation for our sake, and
united things on earth with the
Things in Heaven, Thou were taken
up thither in Glory, O Christ our
God, going not away from any place,
but continuing inseparable, and to
them who Love Thee, crying out: I
Am with you and there is, therefore,
none against you.

In those days, Paul had decided to sail

past Ephesos, so that he might not
have to spend time in Asia.
He was hastening to be - on the Day of
Pentecost if possible - at Jerusalem.
From Miletos he sent to Ephesos and
called to him the Elders of the
Church.
When they went to him, he said to them:
Take heed to yourselves and to all
the Flock, in which the Holy Spirit has
made you Overseers, to care for the
Flock of the Church of God, which He
obtained with the Blood of His own
Son.
I know that after my departure fierce
Wolves will come in among you - not
sparing the Flock.
And from among yourselves men will
arise speaking perverse things, to
draw away the Disciples after them.
Therefore, be alert remembering that
for three years I did not cease - night
or day - to admonish everyone with
tears.
And now I commend you, Brethren, to
God and to the Word of His Grace,
which is able to build you up and to
grant you the Inheritance among all
those who are Sanctified.
I coveted no ones silver or gold or
apparel.

The heavy tongue,

screened by the Divine Clouds,
proclaimed the God-inscribed Law;
for He shook the dust
from the eye of intelligence, beholding
the Being
and attaining
the Knowledge of the Spirit,
singing Divine Songs of Praise.

near with contrite spirit to the

Mighty God of Intelligences,
by her Prayer alone
undid the bonds
of the barren ones womb,
and the hard rebuke of her with
children.

Who alone came forth

from the Only Uncaused Father,
since Thou art the Benefactor,
Thou sent the Holy Spirit,
truly equal to Thee in Might,
to the Disciples,
who glorify Thy Power, O Lord.
