the
1. Why did Zacchaeus
climb a Sycamore
Tree?
2. What did Jesus say when he saw Zaccheus?
4..What did the Prodigal Son do wrong?
3. Which man was justified in the sight of God, the Publican
or the
Pharisee?.
5. What did the older brother of the Prodigal Son do wrong?
6 What did the Father do when his son returned to him?.. .
8. Why were the Goats sent away to eternal punishment?
7 Why did the Sheep get to go to the banquet?
He had holy ambition!
He was short, and wanted
a better view of Jesus,
so he made the climb!
”Come down! I will dine at your house today!”
He squandered his inheritance by reckless living.
The Publican!
He wasn’t boastful, but had the proper humility before God.
He refused to rejoice at his brother’s return home.
He forgave his son and rejoiced. He ran to meet him, hugged his son, and threw a big party!
They neglected to do good things for others.
They had done good things for others.

To my children, who sometimes feel so alone in their faith...
There may be no other young people in our parish; there may be no other young people
in our eparchy; there may be no other young people in all of Eastern Christianity;
but there is you.
YOU are the ones who must
now become the guardians of the faith.
YOU must be careful to keep the love of
Christ burning in your own hearts and in
the hearts of your children so that our unique expression of love for God can
continue upon the face of the earth.
God created YOU for this time
in history. YOU can not fail.

God is with us!
God is with us!
Understand,
all you nations,
and submit
yourselves
for
God is
with us!



Hear all you distant lands, You mighty ones, submit yourselves,
for God is with us!

If you strengthen yourselves again, again you will be defeated,
Form a plan, but the Lord will thwart it,
for God is with us!
Whatever word you speak will not stand even among yourselves,
We will not fear what you fear nor shall we be dismayed,
for God is with us!

Hallow the Lord our God
and He will be your fear,
If you trust in Him,
He will be your refuge,
for God is with us!



We will hope in Him and by Him will we be saved,
Here am I with the children God has given me
for God is with us!
The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light,
Upon you who dwelt in the shadow of death, a light has shone,
for God is with us!


For a child is born to us;
a son is given to us,
Upon His shoulder
dominion rests,
Of His peace,
there is no end,
for God is with us!
They call Him Angel of Great Counsel, Wonderful Counselor,
Mighty God, Master, Prince of Peace, Father of the age to come,
for God is with us!


Glory to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever and forever. Amen...for God is with us!
Glorify
Him!
Christ
is
Born!



Sending You Christmas Blessings
