<p><strong>RUSSIAN ORTHODOX CATHEDRAL of the TRANSFIGURATION</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong><strong>228 N. 12<sup>TH</sup> Street, Brooklyn, NY, 11211, (718) 387-1064</strong></p>

<p><strong><em>Christ is Risen! </em></strong><em>But the angel said to the women, &#8220;Do not be afraid; for I know that you seek Jesus Who was crucified. He is not here; for He has risen as He said.  Come see the place  where He lay&#8221;. (Matthew 28:5-6)</em></p>
<p>&#8220;Do not be afraid!&#8221; The Myrrhbearing Women, stunned by their Master&#8217;s death, had much to fear. Yet their faith was not shattered; their resolve was not shaken. Their fear vanished as they saw death vanquished. Their hearts were filled with unspeakable joy as they gazed into the empty tomb. Their emptiness was replaced with the fullness of God&#8217;s presence in a world which, today as then clings to any sign of hope.</p>
<p>Today, as we join the women in approaching the empty tomb, our fear and apprehension is instantly transformed into unspeakable joy and wonder. &#8220;Why do you seek the living among the dead?&#8221; we are asked. &#8220;He is not here; He is Risen!&#8221; At once, the words &#8220;Follow Me&#8221; take on new meaning as our destination &#8212; &#8220;the never-ending day of Thy Kingdom&#8221; that lies beyond the empty tomb &#8212; is fully revealed to us. And in this revelation, our true nature as beings created for eternal communion with our Creator and with one another is likewise revealed. As Saint Paul reminds us, while we remain &#8220;in the world,&#8221; we are not &#8220;of the world.&#8221; And while we have been given a foretaste of the Kingdom yet to come, we also have been charged with proclaiming the never-ending day of His Kingdom here and now, to all who would listen, with every word and in every act of forgiveness and compassion, of kindness and of love.             It is only through our belief that we behold the full splendor and beauty of Pascha. With eyes of faith, on Pascha we become witnesses to the complete and ultimate victory of life over death, of freedom over captivity, of God over the evil one. &#8220;Trampling down death by death,&#8221; our Risen Lord and Savior Jesus Christ grants new life to all who believe in Him as King and as God.</p>
<p>On this radiant and joyous Feast of Feasts, I would like to assure you of my prayers. I am asking you to join me in making a new and deeper commitment to the Risen Lord.<strong><em> </em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>Christ is Risen!    Indeed is Risen</em></strong> <em>Pascha 2012</em> <em>With Love In The Risen Lord,                     Fr.Wiaczeslan and Church Cou</em><em>nc</em><em>il</em></p>

<p><strong><em>Христос Воскресе! </em></strong><em>«Ангел же, обратив речь к женщинам, сказал: не бойтесь, ибо знаю, что вы ищете Иисуса распятого; Его нет здесь &#8211; Он воскрес, как сказал. Подойдите, посмотрите место, где лежал Господь» (Матф.28:5,6)</em></p>
<p>Не бойтесь! Женам – мироносицам, потрясенным смертью их Господа, было чего бояться. Но их вера не была разрушена, их решимость была непоколебима. При виде побежденной смерти исчез страх. И когда они смотрели в пустой гроб, их сердца были наполнены невыразимой радостью. Пустота заменилась полнотой Божия присутствия в мире, который сегодня, как и тогда, обращается к любому знаку надежды.                                                                         Сегодня мы присоединяемся к женщинам, приближающимся к пустой гробнице, наши страхи и опасения преобразились внезапно в невыразимую радость и удивление. «Что ищете живого с мертвыми?», &#8211; спрашивают нас. «Его нет здесь, Он воскрес!» Вдруг, слова «следуй за мной» приобретают новый смысл, потому что, предмет наших устремлений – «невечерний день Царствия Твоего», начинающийся по ту сторону опустевшего гроба – явлен нам во всей своей полноте. И в этом откровении также явлена наша подлинная природа, как людей, сотворенных для вечного общения с нашим Творцом и друг с другом. Оставаясь, как нам напоминает апостол Павел, «в мире», мы &#8211; не « от мира». И ощутив предвкушение грядущего царства, мы имеем обязательство провозглашать невечерний день Его Царствия здесь и сейчас, всем кто желает слышать, каждым словом и каждым делом прощения, сострадания, доброты и любви.                                                                                                 Только через нашу веру мы можем ощутить величие и красоту Пасхи. Имея веру, на Пасху мы становимся свидетелями полной и совершенной победы жизни над смертью, свободы над пленом, Бога над диаволом. «Смертию смерть поправ» &#8211; наш воскресший Господь и Спаситель Иисус Христос подает новую жизнь, всем кто верит в Него как Царя и Бога.                                                            В этот светлый и радостный праздников праздник, хочу уверить Вас в своих молитвах и призвать нас всех к углубленной и обновленной верности Воскресшему Господу.</p>
<p><strong><em>Х</em></strong><strong><em>ристос Воскресе!      Воистину Воскресе!</em></strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><em> Пасха 2012 С любовью о Воскресшем Христе!  О.Вячеслав и Приходской комитет</em></p>
