We cannot take Gods Mercy for granted, and the Church makes this clear to us when we are reminded on this Third Sunday of the Tridion about the Final Judgement of Christ on the Eighth Day the First Day of Eternity. We are also reminded that God is not only our Loving Father but also our Righteous Judge. In the appointed Sacred Lesson, we hear how our Lord Jesus Christ will appear in all His Divine Glory on the Final Day - at the end of time - to judge all mankind whether they are believers or not - when He will separate the Righteous souls from the wicked, unrepentant souls - just ...as a Shepherd separates His Sheep from the goats. EACH SOUL WILL RECEIVE RECOMPENSE FOR EVERY WORD, THOUGHT AND DEED . As Christ has told us so many times, THOSE WHO HAVE DONE GOOD THOSE WHO HAD LOVE AN D C OMPASSION FOR OTHERS , WHO FED THE HUNGRY, WHO VISITED THE SICK AND IMPRISONED, WHO CLOTHED AND COMFORTED THE NAKED AND THE DESTITUTE - WILL INHERIT EVERLASTING LIFE , while those who neglected the Sacred Works of Love those who never had Love or Compassion for others will suffer Eternal Condemnation and indescribable Punishment, being exiled through their own personal choices banished into Outer Darkness the extreme distance from God and all His Love, Goodness, Light and Blessedness! It is not enough to merely Repent in our thoughts or with our emotions - or even to express our intentions with words. T HE T RUE F RUIT OF GENUINE R EPENTANCE IS A TOTAL CHANGE IN OUR WAY OF LIFE AND OUR R ELATIONSHIP WITH G OD AND ONE ANOTHER ! During Vespers for Meatfare Sunday - we chant: Knowing the Commandments of the Lord, let this be our Way of Life: Let us feed the hungry, let us give the thirsty to drink, let us clothe the naked, let us welcome strangers, let us visit those in prison and the sick... Then the Judge of all Creation will say even to us wretched sinners: Come, Blessed of My Father - inherit the Kingdom prepared for you! On the very threshold of Great Lent, we commemorate the expulsion of Adam and Eve from Paradise which is an example of the consequences for which we will also be held responsible when we do not Fast and when we do not Repent our sins!! We shall remain forever outside the Gates of Paradise, weeping in the darkness of our sins far removed from God - or we can HEARKEN TO THE V OICE OF THE C HURCH INVITING US URGING US - TO ...set out with Joy upon the season of the Fast, and prepare ourselves for Spiritual Combat, so that C LEANSED BY F ASTING AND THE W ORKS OF R EPENTANCE, WE MAY BE LED BACK INTO P ARADISE, INTO THE E VERLASTING J OY OF OUR R ESURRECTED LORD AND S AVIOUR, J ESUS C HRIST.

They who put their trust in the Lord are like the Holy Mountain. They are never shaken by the attacks of Belial.
who live in the Divine Life shall not reach out their hands to evil, for Christ will not deliver His Inheritance to the evil one. to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and to the Ages of Ages. Holy Spirit is the Font of all Wisdom. To the Apostles comes Grace, to the Martyrs, the crowning in their Struggles, and to the Prophets vision of the future.

You seek Jesus of Nazareth, Who was crucified. He is risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid Him.

well Thy Fearsome Judgement, exceedingly Good Lord, and the Judgement Day, I shudder and am frightened at the accusations of my conscience. When Thou art seated on Thy Throne and conduct the examination, no one can deny their sins, accused by the Truth and possessed by terror. Great will be the sound of the Gehenna Fire, then, and the gnashing of sinners teeth. Therefore, have Mercy on me before the end, and pity me: O THOU MOST RIGHTEOUS JUDGE!
