Ευχαριστούμε πολύ τήν Κυρία Ευτυχία Μπόνη Μπάρκουλα γιά τό ωραίο Ποιήμα καί τίς ευχές τής.Γνωρίζουμε τήν Αγάπη της πρός τήν κοινότητά μας καί γιά τίς Προσευχές της γιά μας τούς ξενητεμένους.Ολοι εμείς Ευχόμαστε ο Πανάγαθος Θεός μας νά τήν προστατεύει πάντοτε.

Ενθύµιο από τη γιορτή των 50 χρόνων του Ναού των Αγίων Αποστόλων «Πέτρου και Παύλου» της Regina, Canada (10-11/9/2011)

Πήρε το νου µου σήµερα της Άνδρου το αγέρι για να τον πάει µακρυά στης ξενητιάς τα µέρη.

Τον πήγε ως τον Καναδά, στην πόλη που όλο τρέχει στη θρυλική Regina που αναµνήσεις έχει...

Κι ο ταξιδιάρης νους µου που αρέσκεται να θέλει να τριγυρίζει διαρκώς και να τρυγάει το µέλι βρέθηκε σε εορτασµούς που έχει η εκκλησία

κι ένιωσε ανείπωτη χαρά, κι έλαβε παρρησία!

Ζει Κύριος ο Θεός ψιθύρισαν τα χείλη

και άνοιξε διάπλατα του ουρανού η πύλη

κι έπεσα στους εορτασµούς για τα 50 χρόνια

της εκκλησιάς που κτίσθηκε για να υπάρχει αιώνια...

Οι Κορυφαίοι Απόστολοι που είναι οι προστάτες 50 χρόνια των πιστών είναι συµπαραστάτες σε κάθε δύσκολη στιγµή στα µακρινά τα µέρη

γιατρεύουνε κάθε πληγή µε του Θεού το χέρι!

Κάθε αντάµωµα γλυκό στο θεϊκό το σπίτι καθένα τρέφει χωριστά όπως και τον σπουργίτη.

Ας είναι ευλογηµένοι οι όποιοι πρωτεργάτες που έκτισαν την εκκλησιά µε δυό τρανούς προστάτες!

Όσοι είναι εν ζωή να έχουνε υγεία

τα ελέη του Θεού και κάθε ευλογία!

Όσοι για αλλού ταξίδευσαν ας είναι αναπαυµένοι και στην µακαριότητα αιώνια ευτυχισµένοι...

Στον π. Σπυρίδωνα τον άξιο λευίτη

που κυβερνάει άξια το θεϊκό το σπίτι του εύχοµαι εγκάρδια έτη πολλά να ζήσει και ο Θεός το έργο του δικαίως να εκτιµήσει...

Στους ενορίτες εύχοµαι ειρήνη και ευλογία

στα σπίτια σους οµόνοια, υποµονή και υγεία.

Καλό παράδεισο να βρουν και τις ψυχές να σώσουν και τα καλά τα έργα τους στη γη να ολοκληρώσουν.

Σ’ όσους µαζί σας σήµερα ήρθαν να εορτάσουν και τη γιορτή σας τη σεµνή ψηλά να ανεβάσουν εύχοµαι ο Παντοδύναµος Θεός να τους φωτίζει και τ’ αγαθά Του πλούσια πάντα να τους χαρίζει!

Χρόνια Πολλά και ευλογηµένα!

Ευτυχία Μπόνη-Μπάρκουλα

Saint Demetrios the Myrrhbearer & Great Martyr of Thessaloniki – October 26

Saint Dimitrios was a Thessalonian, a most pious son of pious and noble parents, and a teacher of the Faith of Christ.

When Maximian first came to Thessalonica in 290, he raised the Saint to the rank of Duke of Thessaly. But when it was

discovered that the Saint was a Christian, he was arrested and kept bound in a bath-house. While the games were under way

in the city, Maximian was a spectator there. A certain friend of his, a barbarian who was a notable wrestler, Lyaeus by name,

waxing haughty because of the height and strength of his body, boasted in the stadium and challenged the citizens to a contest

with him. All that fought with him were defeated. Seeing this, a certain youth named Nestor, aquaintance of Dimitrios', came

to the Saint in the bath-house and asked his blessing to fight Lyaeus single-handed. Receiving this blessing and sealing

himself with the sign of the precious Cross, he presented himself in the stadium, and said, "O God of Dimitrios, help me!"

and straightway he engaged Lyaeus in combat and smote him with a mortal blow to the heart, leaving the former boaster

lifeless upon the earth. Maximian was sorely grieved over this, and when he learned who was the cause of this defeat, he

commanded straightway and Dimitrios was pierced with lances while he was yet in the bath-house, As for Nestor, Maximian

commanded that he be slain with his own sword.

LADIES PHILOPTOCHOS SOCIETY

The Philoptochos meeting for October will be on Monday October 17th at 7:30 p.m. at the Community Hall.

On October 10th families get together to give thanks to God for all the good things that they enjoyed all through the year.

On October 16th the Philoptochos will sponsor their fundraising Dinner. Let’s all get together and as one big family celebrate the day with a nice dinner and all together give thanks to God for all the blessings he has sent our way: love, health, family, friends, peace, plenty to eat and a great country to live in.

As you all know the ladies of the Philoptochos always do their best to serve a nice meal in a friendly and happy atmosphere.

I hope to see you all there, young and old, to give God our thanks and to support the Philoptochos so they can continue their work. It is your love and support that keeps us going.

Thank you,

Toula Egarhos
