St Nektarios of Aegina
“Miracles are not impossible from a logical standpoint,
and right reason does not deny them.
Natural laws do not have the claim
to be the only ones,
nor are they threatened with being overturned
by the appearance of other Laws -
Supernatural Laws -
that also are conducive to the development
and furtherance of Creation.
“Miracles are a Consequence
of our Creator’s Love for His creatures.”

St Nektarios of Aegina
Christians, have we understood the great responsibility
that we have taken on before God through Baptism?
Have we come to know
that we must conduct ourselves as Children of God,
that we must align our will with the Will of God,
that we must remain free from sin,
that we must Love God with all our hearts
and always patiently await Union with Him?
Have we thought about the fact that our heart should be so filled
with Love that it should overflow to our neighbour?
Do we understand that we must become Holy and Perfect,
Children of God and Heirs of the Kingdom of Heaven?
We must Struggle for this,
so that we may not be shown as being unworthy and rejected.
Let none of us lose our Boldness,
nor neglect our duties,
nor be afraid of the Difficulties of Spiritual Struggle.
For we have God as our Helper,
Who Strengthens us along the difficult Path of Virtue.

Therefore, do not be unwise, but

Gabriel proclaimed to Thee, O
Virgin: Hail! With that cry the Lord
of all became Incarnate in Thee, the
Holy Tabernacle, as foretold by the
Righteous David: Thou hast
revealed Thyself as more spacious
than the Heavens, in that Thou hast
borne Thy Creator. Glory to Him
Who abode in Thee! Glory to Him
Who came forth from Thee! Glory to
Him Who through Thy Birth-giving
has set us free!
Thou rose on us, O Saint, as a sun
brightly shining, in recent history,
through Thy Most Holy Lifestyle, O
Father Nektarios; and Thou
therefore have roused us all to
Praise and Glorify our Christ, the
Master of all things. By the Miracles
and Mighty Signs that He gave Thee,
He showed that Thou were Glorified.
✞ Glory to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit
Thy Precious Holy Skull pours out
Cures in abundance amazingly each
day, by Divine Activation. The
Perfume and Fragrance of the Holy
Spirit that it emits fills with Peace
and Joy all those who run with
profound devotion and longing to
Thy Holy Monastery.
Now and ever, and to the ages of
ages.
Amen
Pure and Holy Blood, Thou gave
Birth to the Master of all, Who did
not change from what He was; and
Ke kept Thee Ineffably Virgin, even
after Delivery. We Magnify all Thy
Magnificent Wonders, and we place
our Hope in Thine Intense
Intercessions, O Lady, that we be
Saved.
Father, Thy Way of Life was marked
by Purity, Thy Ways and Manners
were straightforward and upright.
And as a Spiritual Gift from Thee,
did the Lord receive these.

Thou rightly interpreted the Words of
God, and the Orthodox Doctrines
Thou taught as well, for Thou were a
genuine, devout and Godly Hierarch.
And as such Thou educated the
minds of the Orthodox in the Love of
God and the Way to Salvation. Then,
Inspired by God, Thou built a Holy

St Nektarios knew that Thou were
portrayed by the Jar that contained
the Manna, O Pure One, and by the
Lamp that was bright with the Light
of God. And he, as a True Worker of
Virtue, was worthily Illumined in his
soul and mind by Thy Radiance.
Therefore, he proclaimed it in
Orthodox manner, that Thou, O
Theotokos, art at the same time Pure
Virgin and Mother of our God. He
now enjoys Thy Son’s
Incomprehensible Divine Light, O All
Immaculate Lady, and with the
Angels, he Glorifies Thine Ineffable
Glory.
SHEEPFOLD
At that time, our Lord said to the
Judeans who went to Him:
“Truly, truly, I say to you: he who
does not enter the Door to the
Sheepfold, but climbs up some
other way, is a Thief and a Robber.
“He who enters by the Door is the
Shepherd of the Sheep.
“To him the Doorkeeper opens, and
the Sheep hear His Voice.
“And He Calls His own Sheep by name
and leads them out.
“And when He brings out His own
Sheep, He goes before them.
“And the Sheep follow Him, for they
know His Voice.
“Yet they will by no means follow a
Stranger, but will flee from him, for
they do not know the voice of
Strangers.”
Although Jesus used this illustration,
they did not understand the things
that He spoke to them.

TO GOD - PSALM 148
Let everything that has breath praise
the Lord. Praise the Lord from the
Heavens; praise Him in the Highest.
To Thee praise is due, O God.
Praise Him, all His Angels; praise Him,
all His Powers. To Thee praise is
due, O God.
TONE 1
Praise Him for His Mighty Acts!
Praise Him according to the
abundance of His Magnificence!
With songs of praise, let us gather as
one, and celebrate the Bright
Comemmoration of the God-Bearing
Bishop, Nektarios, whom Christ
lately Glorified for his Illustrious
Life. For he was Wondrously granted
the Grace to Heal and to care for all
Faithful.
Praise Him with the sound of the
trumpet! Praise Him with the harp
and lyre.
The Sacred Casket of Thy Holy Relics,
O Father Nektarios, has been
perceived as being another Pool of
Siloam. By the Grace of the Spirit, it
ends all manner of disease, granting
Health and Deliverance to all who
approach with Ardent.
Him with timbrel and dance!
Praise Him with strings and flute!
Who can extol as is worthy Thy
Sovereign Might and Rule, O Life-
Bestowing Saviour? Thou hast
recently granted Nektarios, the truly
Inspired, who devoutly worships
Thee, as an Unshaken Foundation of
True Belief, and a Pillar of Thy Holy
Church.
Praise Him with resounding cymbals!
Praise Him with triumphant
cymbals! Let everything that has
breath praise the Lord!
Fragrance of Thy Holy Relics, O
Nektarios, truly exceeds that of the
field, as it is written. The senses of
the Pious delights. Hence Aegina
Beatifies Thee, O Thrice-Blessed
Hierarch, for She beholds Divine
