Christian Education Center
Prayer of the Week
(Sharagan for the Second Sunday)

O Lord, who first gave the law of holy abstinence to Adam in paradise
where he broke it by tasting the fruit and thereby tasting the bitterness
of sin and death, grant us that we may taste the sweetness of Your
commandments. We have been struck in our souls by the Enemy with wounds of
sin, and we need You, the lover of man; to relieve our pain; therefore O
Christ who loves man, heal us.

Bible reading of the Week
The Fulfillment of the Law: "Do not think that I have come to abolish the
Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.
I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest
letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from
the Law until everything is accomplished. Anyone who breaks one of the
least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be
called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches
these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I tell
you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the
teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.

Sunday of the Expulsion

On the Sunday of the Expulsion from the Garden we encounter our own great
sin: pride. Mankind (Adam and Eve) had all they needed in the Garden;
their lives with God were complete. God asked only that they love Him, and
obey Him as all sensible creatures would obey a loving Creator, since the
Creator knows His creatures and their needs better than they themselves
do. But in His love God made us free, and the tree from which Adam and Eve
ate represents the free choice all of us must make.
