The first Sunday of Lent is Orthodox Sunday. It was established as a special

memorial day of the Council at Constantinople in 843. It commemorates first of all the victory of the Church over

the heresy of the Iconoclasts: The use and veneration of Holy Ikons was restord. On this day we continue to sing the troparion

of the Holy Image of Christ: "We reverence Thy sacred Image O Christ..."

The Image of God Within Us

. A story is told that when Leonardo da Vinci painted “The Last Supper” he sought out men who could be living models for Our Lord and the apostles for his painting. Each model had to have a face that expressed da Vinci’s vision of the particular man he would represent. One day, de Vinci saw a young man who had features of love, tenderness, caring in innocence, compassion, and kindness. This man would be his model for Jesus.

However, years went by and the painting was still not complete. Da Vinci could not find the right face for Judas. He was looking for a man whose face was streaked with despair,

wickedness, greed, and sin. Ten years

after starting the picture, he found a

man in prison whose face had all the

qualities for which he had been

searching. This prisoner, then, would

be the model for Judas.

As da Vinci worked, he noticed the

prisoner growing more and more

uneasy. He asked the prisoner, “What

seems to trouble you so much?” The

man began sobbing and said, “Don’t

you remember, me? Ten years ago I

was your model for Jesus!” The once

innocent youth had turned his back

on Christ and had begun living a

sinful life. The face that had once

radiated love, now showed misery.

The expression of hope was replaced

by despair. The light of Christ within

him had grown dim.

On this first Sunday of the Great

Fast, let us ask ourselves, “What

do others see in our face?” Is

our face of kindness and love, or

of despair and misery?

St. John Paul saw an important ministry with altar servers: “Dear brother priests, I would ask

you, among other initiatives, to show special care for altar servers, who represent a kind

of “garden” of priestly vocations. The group of altar servers, under your guidance as part of the

parish community, can […] become a kind of pre-seminary.”

Visit some elderly people in a nursing home, or sick people in a hospital each

week. (orphans or prisons work too)

Create a family “swear jar” and put a dollar into it for each time you say a bad

word. Then give it to charity after.

Approach for confession.

Reach out to and forgive someone you are disconnected with, especially

family, coworkers and friends.

• Stop drinking pop, eating candy, fatty foods, and other such unhealthy treats.

Pray morning prayers and/or evening prayers with your children. Consider

reading a bible story to them at bedtime. • Read a spiritual book

. Come to church for weekday services.

Volunteer at your church

Donate to your favourite charities.

Think of other suggestions!
