THE JOY OF CANADA ICON
THE DESCENT OF THE
HOLY SPIRIT ORTHODOX MISSION
Ignorance
is the mother of violence, fear is its father. Combined, they work
together to undermine faith. Much of the worlds religion, including
much of Christ -ianity, has become based in fear and ignorance, and
this is one of the greatest promoters of atheism. But atheism, too, is
based in fear and ignorance. One who has a genuine faith in Christ no
longer sub- scribes to fear and ignorance, and no longer hates, wishes
to persecute or re- sorts to violence, either physical, emotion- al of
verbal. As the apostle so clearly tells us, "we have not been
placed in bondage to a spirit of fear," and our beloved father John the
Evangelists enjoins that "there is no fear in love; rather perfect love
drives out fear," and "whoever still has fear has not been made perfect
in love."

A general, one time appeal:
Dear friends of the Monastery:
Our monastery has been completely self-supporting for the 35 years of its
existence.
We now have a great need to
build a simple church building, since our present chapel, located on
the top level of the main corpus, is too small for our needs, and such
services as funerals, etc. are impossible because of access
limitations. We have contracted to purchase a metal building, designed
for Church use. We need help in raising the $12,000.00 remaining to pay
for the concrete foundation and the structure itself. We are seeking
120 volunteers who will try
to get ten other people to donate $100 each
to the cost of the new Church building here
at the monastery.
Will you volunteer and try
to raise this amount?
Glory to Jesus Christ!
+Archbishop Lazar
