Feastday Celebration of the Holy Trinity Church, Pentecost Sunday, June 23, 2024
The festivities started on the Feastday Eve - "Saturday of the Souls" - Saturday June 22, with the Holy Liturgy, and the community memorial services.
The next day, on the Great Feast of the Descent of the Holy Spirit, matins and proskomidia were served, starting at 9:00 a.m.
The Holy Liturgy followed, officiated by the two priests of our church, Archpriest Constantin Alecse, parish priest, and Father Viorel Vasile Visovan, starting at 10:00 a.m.
At noon, at the end of the Holy Liturgy, the Great Vespers of Pentecost was officiated, with the Seven (7) wonderful prayers of kneeling before the Creator, as thanksgiving to God for the 84 years of existence of our Holy and Blessed Church.
At the end of the Holy Services, after the annoynting sacrament, most of the believers present at the service, and many other guests, had the joy of participating in a Gala Banquet, organized with a lot of effort and love by the members of the parish council, led by the family of the president Eddie and Antoaneta Rastian, and the ladies' auxiliary, through the care and attention of the Ladies Auxiliary president Mary Comboianu, and vice-president Victoria Rezmeritsa.
The menu consisted of Romanian culinary preparations, "like at home": appetizers, steaks, sweets, coffees... and the refreshment center, or as we say it in Romanian, the "bar", was open during the entire period of the banquet.
The artistic program, with Romanian and American music, was supported by Mitică Grigorut's band, the people's artist Mihail Chiriuc, and the guest of honor Dori Williams.
The surprises of the day followed: Victoria Volz, piano and voice, Sophia Fatu, voice, voice and impeccable artistic interpretation, and, of course, who else than the master violinist Cristian Fătu. Intermezzo piano: the young talent of Matei Adomnicai.
The great surprise was the appearance on the stage of the well-known performer Andreea Antonescu, a great singer, who experienced success in Romania alongside Andreea Bălan, between the years 1998-2001, writing history in the music industry through record sales: 4 platinum discs, one gold and over 1,500,000 units sold, songs that became hits, performed in Romania, and on many big stages around the world. After 2002, Andreea Antonescu continued her solo career, releasing 3 albums and many singles that became hits.
The cultural program was a real REGAL, on the stage of the oldest Romanian Church, west of the Mississippi, the Holy Trinity in Los Angeles.
The banquet, the music, the song, the dance, the raffle and the good will "flowed" non-stop for 4-5 hours in a row.
We thank God for such a Day of Celebration and Anniversary, and all our respect and gratitude to the organizers, and to all the volunteers who, in one way or another, contributed to the success of this Holy Event. Participant [A mini-album from our Church's Feastday 2024]

Schedule of Church Services during the Holy Lent through Easter
(March 17-May 5, 2024)
Today, Sunday March 17, 2024, Forgiveness Sunday, brothers and sisters, Please forgive me, and let us forgive each other, at the entrance to the Holy and Great Lent of Easter 2024.
We dare to convey to you the centuries-old invitation of our Church, made with perseverance, but also with gentleness, to set off on a pilgrimage, on a journey together with God. Let us have the courage to take a first step in the "shining sadness" of Lent so that we can then see the destination, the sublime joy of Easter ("pascha", "passing"), the entrance into the glory of the Kingdom. The condition of man as a logical being in general, of the Christian in particular, is accentuated in this period by that of "homo peregrinus", a hiker in the divine Word, towards the Kingdom of God. This journey, which has a deep liturgical character, the procession reminiscent of the one on Easter night, invites us to appropriate both the spirit of Lent and the spirit of Orthodoxy, helping us to pass from one spiritual state to another.
Between March 18 and May 4, 2024, we are in the Holy Easter Fast, which is the longest and harshest of the four long-term fasting period of the Orthodox Church; that is why the Orthodox people call it Great Lent. He was set by the Church for the proper preparation of the catechumens, in the past, who were preparing to receive baptism at Easter and as a means of spiritual preparation of the faithful for meeting the Holy Week of Christ's Passion and the Resurrection of the Lord.
At the same time, it reminds us of the forty-day fast kept by the Savior before the beginning of His messianic activity (Luke IV, 1-2), hence the name Paresimi.
"By giving you will gain": As always, your support to the Holy Church, offered in various forms, is greatly appreciated, being of real use to us in continuing the good work on the administrative level of our parish.
Let us always be present in the spirit of prayer: Our thoughts, at the beginning of the journey, in this ascent towards the Resurrection, are also directed towards all the faithful of the parish, and we pray that the Good God will lead our steps under His guidance, smoothing our paths and making possible the fulfillment of good wishes. We keep you all in our prayers! Let us always support our existence on God, the Mother of God and all the saints, because without her we cannot do anything for our salvation.
Books and videos library: For those interested in deepening the theological significance of this period, as well as acquiring new knowledge of a religious nature, we are at your disposal both with our proposals and with the book inventory in the library, as well as our videos and documentaries. We open this invitation with much love.

Let us make Lent a period intended for increasing attendance and participation in Church services, let us lean more on ourselves as Christians, meditate with even more spiritual benefit on the purpose of life, perceive the essentials of the liturgical spirit, re- we analyze "our modern way of life"! We humbly address you to emphasize that the Sacrament of Holy Confession (which is performed mainly during fasting, but not exclusively) is not an accounting of less good deeds, but as a restoration of working together with God, a new beginning, a new creature.
Do not hesitate to contact us for any event or spiritual need! We gladly respond promptly to your requests, and for the beneficial fulfillment of the fasting period, until Holy Easter, we humbly ask you to support us.
We wish that the Holy Joy and Light of Christ's Resurrection fill your souls and hearts and give you faith, strength to conquer the sea of this life! May you always remain at the feet of the Crucified One and thus, enduring everything, until the end, may the Risen Christ save you! We wish you a peaceful Holy Holidays! Christ Is Risen! Truly Christ is Risen!

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF SUNDAYS IN HOLY LENT
THE MONTH OF MARCH
March 17, 2024 : Sunday of the Expulsion of Adam from Heaven - of the One Left Dry with Cheese (Matthew VI, 14-21) The conditions for liberation from the bondage of sin, from the prison of "this world" are established: fasting and forgiveness (if you will not forgive people's sins them, neither will your Father forgive you your trespasses). The prayer of Saint Ephrem the Sirul, defining for the Easter Fast, is read for the first time.
Between March 18 and May 4, 2024, we are in the Easter Lent, which is the longest and harshest of the four permanent The beginning of the Orthodox Easter Lent, known also as the Great Lent. It was set by the Church for the proper preparation of the catechumens for the Holy Easter, when they received the baptism at Easter and as a mean of spiritual preparation of the faithful for the Passion and the Resurrection of the Lord. At the same time, it reminds us of the forty-day fast kept by the Savior before the beginning of His messianic activity (Luke IV, 1-2), hence the name Paresimi.
March 23, 2024 : Saturday of Saint Theodore, the Feast of the Saint and the Great Lent, a day when we must remember all those who have passed on to the eternal. It is the opportunity to show our love for our grandparents, ancestors, parents and brothers "asleep in the hope of the resurrection". Starting from this day, we commemorate all those who are asleep at the service of the Parastas, and the memorials for the living are commemorated on Friday at the Sacrament of the Holy Olive and on all Sundays and holidays throughout the year at the Holy Liturgy.
March 24, 2024: Sunday of Orthodoxy (John I, 43-51) The Church celebrates the "Victory of Orthodoxy", the victory over iconoclasm and the restoration of icon worship in Church (Constantinople, 843), being a good opportunity to deepen the spirit of Orthodoxy.

THE MONTH OF APRIL
April 7, 2024: Sunday of the Holy Cross (Mark VIII, 34-38 and IX, 1) By communing from God's gifts, man, deifying himself, not only enters into a relationship with his Creator, but also with all others who commune in turn with one-another. Taste and see that the Lord is good! Let us also gain meaning and strength to carry our Cross in Christ with joy and dignity!
April 14, 2024: Sunday of Saint John of the Ladder (Mark IX, 17-32) I believe God! Help my unbelief. Thus, the emphasis is shifted from us, from our repentance and efforts, to the deeds that were done for us and for our salvation".

"Lord and Master of my life, do not give me the spirit of prosperity, of caring for many, of love of mastery and of speaking in the desert

And the spirit of purity, of humble thought, of patience and love, give it to me, Your servant (a metania).
So, Lord, King, grant me to see my sins and not to condemn my brother, for you are blessed forever and ever. Amen" (an amenity).

The climb to Golgotha
(Easter, 2024)
In everyday life, the good Christian encounters moments of evangelical and apostolic tradition with canonical order for the universal Christian Church. There are four holidays of the year with obligatory divine canons: the Birth of Christ the Redeemer; the celebration of Saint Peter; The Dormition of the Mother of God and the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ (Pills). Each of the four Christian holidays is preceded by a mandatory canon - fasting. Fasting is the oldest commandment given by God to man, older than the ten commandments given to Moses through the tablets of the Law, therefore it is not even included among the ten commandments. The biggest is the Holy and Great Lent of Easter. The Pastor of the Parish of our Church of the Holy Trinity, Archpriest Constantin Alecse, weeks before arriving at the gate of Great Lent, prepares us spiritually, advising us to forgive each other in order to start fasting with a clean soul.
He preaches to us about the importance of fasting and the ways by which we can fulfill this divine canon. After entering the fast, on every occasion he talks to us about how to overcome the climb towards the Light of the Resurrection of the Son of God, separating us and unburdening us of our sins.
The parent teaches us how to practice good behavior, having love, humility, restraint of the will, understanding, harmony, and spiritual living. Let's have sincere regrets for the sins committed. Thus, fulfilling the sacrifice of the one with a humble spirit and a humble heart may save us from the sting. There are two directions of fulfillment of fasting: restraining the body from food, drink and bodily cleansing and the second direction is spiritual fasting which is much higher than physical fasting. Spiritual fasting perfects bodily fasting. While the physical fast requires us to live in physical moderation, the spiritual one requires us to fast with thought, deed, word and all our senses. This means to shut our mouths, not to tell lies, slander, blasphemy, swearing, insults; the eyes should not wander in improper directions, but to see clearly; let the ears refrain from listening to corrupting things; hands not to do injustice; but to rise with dignity to Heaven; let our feet not lead us to sins and transgressions, but to run unhindered on the happy path of God's commandments; let the thoughts not wander towards bad deeds, of hatred, envy, envy, which incline us to sin. Whoever manages to harmoniously unite the two fasts, physical and spiritual, ends up being the icon and philosophy of deeds pleasing to God. It is also appropriate to mention the great gain in the physical and mental health of the Christian, through the hardships that fasting requires. It is known that for various blessed reasons, not everyone can fast the same way. The one who fasts less, if he humbles himself deeply with his heart, rises to the level of the most improved. We have as an example the parable of the widow's money, who, having little, offered all her little, while the one who had a lot, gave a little, the latter being poorer by the deed.
Fulfilling the canon of fasting and perfecting it with the mystery of confession (confession of our sins) we can share without condemnation with the Most Holy and Most Pure Body and Blood of our Son and God. So, coming to the victorious Church-House of God, where we meet with the Holy Life and all the Heavenly Magnificences through the intercession of the pastor of the faithful, the serving priest, we can hope for the joy of living and contemplating the Light of the Holy Resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
I wish you easy fasting and the fulfillment of the great joy of Easter.

The Life of Saint Nektarios of Egyna
Omul lui Dumnezeu - Sf. Nectarie de EghinaExilat pe nedrept, condamnat fără proces, calomniat fără motiv. Viața Sfântului Nectarie din Eghina a fost una dintre persecuțile și urmărire penală a sa. Duhovnic al oamenilor de rând, popularitatea sa a provocat gelozia clerului din Alexandria și, drept urmare, a fost caterisit și alungat din Egipt. Spre deosebire de „superiorii” săi religioși, Nektarios avea grijă de săraci, le-a învățat pe tinerele țărance să citească și să scrie, și a făcut multe minuni. Până și ultimele sale zile, pe pământ, le-a închinat slujirii semenilor, iar la moartea lui, lenjeria lui Nektarios a fost scoasă și, când s-a atins de un paralizat pe patul spitalului, care zăcea în aceeași cameră cu el, bolnavul s-a ridicat și a început să meargă. |

Man of God - Saint Nektarios of Egyna Exiled unjustly, convicted without a trial, slandered without cause. The life of St. Nektarios of Aegina was one of persecution and prosecution. A priest of the common people, his popularity provoked the jealousy of the clergy in Alexandria and as a result, he was defrocked and expelled from Egypt. In contrast to his religious “superiors”, Nektarios cared for the poor, taught peasant girls to read and write, and performed miracles. Even his last moment on earth was used to help another: upon his death, Nektarios’ undergarment was removed, and as it fell upon a paralyzed man in the hospital bed next to him, the lame man arose to walk. So, too, do we hope MAN OF GOD will awaken the paralyzed faith in audiences around the world. |

Man of God: Holy Nektarious - ΑΓΙΟΣ ΝΕΚΤΑΡΙΟΣ (2021)
The film "Man of God" which tells the story of St. Nektarios of Aegina (1846-1920), one of the most well-known saints of modern Greece. Venerated as a healer and miracle-worker, his entire life was one of loving humility and grace.
Slandered without cause, convicted without trial, and exiled unjustly, "Man of God" depicts the trials and tribulations of St. Nektarios as he bears the unjust hatred of his enemies while preaching, teaching, and most importantly, living the Word of God by bearing witness to Christ in everything.
Thank you for watching the St. Nektarios movie.
