Christ is Risen!


Be Poets of the Logos!

Sarx (σαρξ) is the Greek word for "flesh". This is the blog of a Southern Man (sojourning in Buffalo, NY) attempting to follow God in the way of Jesus.

I am a priest in the Russian Orthodox Church in America (ROCIA). We are growing a Mission community here in Buffalo.

I who have written this story, or rather this fable, give no credence to the various incidents related in it. For some things in it are the deceptions of demons, other poetic figments; some are probable, others improbable; while still others are intended for the delectation of foolish men.

Necrology

REMEMBER, O Lord, the souls of your servants departed in sleep, Bessie, Kenneth, Walter, Katherine, Edward, James, Raymond, Doris, Gregory, Bud, Linda, and all my relatives according to the flesh; remember Joe, Nina, Alan, Sheila-Mary, Brian, Michelle, Edward, Grace, Raymond, Elsa, Timmy, Raymond, Katherine, Sunnie, Gus, Alejandro, Timmy, William, David, Thomas, the Priest Mills, the Priest Bernie, the Priest Damian, the Priest Victor, Barbara, the Priest Linda, the Bishop Paul, the Priest Joel, together with all your servants who have departed this life in the hope of resurrection and eternal life, and all who lie here and in all the world; forgive them every transgression, voluntary and involuntary; grant them rest with your Saints where the light of your Face shines, a part in your eternal joys, and the delight of your blessed and everlasting life; and have mercy on us, for you are good and the Lover of All. Amen.

Grant, O Lord, remission of all sins to all our Fathers, Mothers, Brothers and Sisters departed in the faith and hope of resurrection, and make their memory eternal.

Try crossing the streams and think, holistically, of the period between ER Soul Saturday on the New Calendar (the Saturday before 26 October) and WR All Souls Day on the the Old Calendar (15 November, NS) as an extended time of prayer for the departed.
