FAITH

live by

a message from Fr. John Wallace

“Low Tide of Faith”

My faith seems to ebb and flow like a tide; sometimes it is high, sometimes it is low. A high tide of faith, when experienced, usually happens during the Divine Liturgy. It is often a moment of fleeting, but extreme bliss, a joy; one that may result in a quiet small tear making its way down my cheek. It is something I long for, but cannot control. It literally takes me away to somewhere else I feebly understand as the kingdom. They are always moments of blessing; a real and present high tide of faith. They give me something to hold onto during those less joyful moments when my faith seems to be at low tide.
When our faith ebbs, however, it offers us the opportunity to focus on our spiritual weaknesses because they are no longer covered by the waters of joy. It is when the joyful waters have receded that the garbage on the beach of our hearts is exposed and we can see it more clearly. This is the time for us to get to work through prayer and confession to cleanse our hearts. Low tide also encourages us to venture further out into the waters of deeper faith as our hope and trust in Christ mature and strengthen. Even though it is frightening to swim further away from shore it gives us more appreciation for what others sometimes experience and in this way helps us to empathize with them and show them compassion.
Perhaps the most dangerous experience of a low tide of faith is the temptation to despair; that quiet whisper to just give up and float away in the waters of this world, to wherever it would carry us. We must see this for what it is, an attempt by the devil to corrupt our faith into giving up on Christ our God. Our response must be to redouble our prayer, fortify our patience, embolden our hope, buckle down and carry on secure in the knowledge that Christ has not and will not desert us. Our faith is proved true at low tide, not high.
Our response to the high tide of faith is to accept it with humility; that it is of God and not of us. We must not try to hold onto it, but to let it be free and living as of the Holy Spirit from which it flows. As such, it will come back to us of its own accord and in its own time.
A low tide of faith requires we accept it with thanksgiving to God; and that we pray, pray, and pray some more. Jesus our Lord prayed unto tears of blood in the Garden of Gethsemane before His glorious crucifixion; how much more must we pray before the trials we face. We should realistically expect low tides, but faithfully trust that Christ will help us walk through our valley of shadows.
Hear the words of Moses to the children of Israel as he told them not to worry even though he could not go with them into the promised land, “Be valiant and strong, do not fear nor be afraid; for the Lord your God goes before you and with you and among you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.” (Deut. 31:6) These words are no less true for Orthodox Christians living at this present moment in history; believe it and find peace and strength in Christ our God. Amen.

+ Fr. John

About the Front Cover
The Feast of St Nicholas the Wonder Worker
Celebrated December 6

Life of the Saint
Our Holy Father Nicholas, emulator of the Apostles and ardent imitator of the Lord Jesus Christ, appears as a living pillar of the Church, zealous in defense of the faith and a model of pastoral solicitude for holy bishops. Through his countless miracles on behalf of the poor, the abandoned, of those suffering injustice and of all who call upon his fatherly protection, he has to this day Shown himself “a good steward of the manifold grace of God” (I Peter 4:10).
Reading
This Saint lived during the reign of Saint Constantine the Great, and reposed in 330, As a young man, he desired to espouse the solitary life. He made a pilgrimage to the holy city Jerusalem, where he found a place to withdraw to devote himself to prayer. It was made known to him, however, that this was not the will of God for him, but that he should return to his homeland to be a cause of salvation for many. He returned to Myra, and was ordained bishop. He became known for his abundant mercy, providing for the poor and needy, and delivering those who had been unjustly accused. No less was he known for his zeal for the truth. He was present at the First Ecumenical Council of the 318 Fathers at Nicaea in 325; upon hearing the blasphemies that Arius brazenly uttered against the Son of God, Saint Nicholas struck him on the face. Since the canons of the Church forbid the clergy to strike any man at all, his fellow bishops were in perplexity what disciplinary action was to be taken against this hierarch whom all revered. In the night our Lord Jesus Christ and our Lady Theotokos appeared to certain of the bishops, informing them that no action was to be taken against him, since he had acted not out of passion, but extreme love and piety. The Dismissal Hymn for holy hierarchs, the truth of things hath revealed thee to thy flock ... was written originally for Saint Nicholas. He is the patron of all travelers, and of sea-farers in particular; he is one of the best known and best loved Saints of all time.
Apolytikion of Nicholas the Wonderworker
Fourth Tone
A model of faith and the image of gentleness, the example of your life has shown you forth to your sheep-fold to be a master of temperance. You obtained thus through being lowly, gifts from on high, and riches through poverty. Nicholas, our father and priest of priests, intercede with Christ our God that He may save our souls.
Kontakion of Nicholas the Wonderworker
Third Tone
Saintly One, (St. Nicholas) in Myra you proved yourself a priest; for in fulfilling the Gospel of Christ, venerable One, you laid down your life for your people and saved the innocent from death. For this you were sanctified as One learned in divine grace.

Our Charity and Philanthropy to the Community Near and Far

For the family of a hospitalized child, it will be the most important House they will ever visit. Since 1987, the Ronald McDonald House in Savannah, GA, helps families of seriously ill, hospitalized children cope with the stress and expense of daily living while trying to be close and emotionally strong for their child. We provide a monthly warm and delicious meal to this vital ministry to the strangers in our midst.

August, which began with Greece’s most severe heat wave in about three decades, quickly turned into one of the country’s most destructive fire seasons, with dozens of wildfires breaking out every day. Thousands of people have been forced to flee the flames, which have devoured forests, agricultural land, homes and businesses. Through the generous donations of many in our parish and the Parish Council, we have donated a total of $1,000 in support of the brave firefighters.
