At the age of 81, Archbishop Chrysostomos II of Cyprus reposed in the Lord on Monday morning (7/11).

The Archbishop of Cyprus fell asleep in the Lord yesterday at 06.40 in the morning in his apartment in the Archdiocese, where he had been hospitalized for the last few weeks, battling cancer.

After the death of the Archbishop, the Metropolitan of Paphos Georgios takes over as guardian of the throne, until the election and enthronement of a new Archbishop.

Biography
Chrysostomos II (aka Herodotus Demetriou, born in Paphos on April 10, 1941) was a businessman and clergyman of the Orthodox Church and Archbishop of Nea Justiniani and All Cyprus – Primate of the Church of Cyprus. The Archbishop of Cyprus is the First among the Archbishops of Autocephalous Churches.

He was born in 1941 in the village of Tala in Paphos. Immediately after primary education, he became a cadet monk in the Holy Monastery of Agios Neophytos and then attended the High School of Paphos. He graduated from high school in 1963 and was ordained a deacon on November 3 of the same year.

Archiepiscopal election
After the long, irreversible illness of Archbishop Chrysostomos I, an Enlarged Synod was convened under Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew in Switzerland in May 2006, which declared the archdiocesan throne of Cyprus a widowhood.

Thus, the procedures for the election of a new Archbishop began, which were completed on November 5 of the same year with the election of Chrysostomos II. His enthronement took place on November 12 and, as reported by the media, he is the only Archbishop of Cyprus who performed the funeral of an Archbishop of Cyprus.

Work
Upon assuming his duties as Archbishop, he set goals for the better functioning of the Church of Cyprus. During his tenure, the Charter of the Church of Cyprus was updated and the Theological School of the Church of Cyprus was created.

Charter of the Church of Cyprus
Chrysostom II promoted the change of the outdated previous Charter of the Church, which was in force since 1914 and has since been revised twice. The new charter mainly changed the electoral system, upgrading the power of the faithful.

But the changes in the electoral procedure were not limited, but changed the borders of the metropolises (favored the occupied metropolis of Kyrenia), created a five-member synodal court, where the accused could be represented by a lawyer, and finally changed the procedures for the issuance of ecclesiastical divorce.

He also promoted the expansion of the Holy Synod with the reconstitution after 800 years of old bishops (Constantia, Tamasos, Trimythous, Karpasia, Ledra, Chytron, Amathous, Neapolis) that had been abolished during the Frankish rule by the Latins in 1222.

Thus, the Church of Cyprus, as an Autocephalous, succeeded in having a full Synod (with at least 13 members) which means that it can now convene a Great and Supreme Synod without the need for the participation of other Bishops from other Churches.

He also proposed and succeeded, following consultations with the Cypriot government and the Ministry of Finance, the creation of a Unified Payroll Body for the Clergy. In this way he achieved the independent payroll of the clergy and ensured the decent living of old and provincial clergy without burdening the state.

Theological school
The Archbishop succeeded in establishing the Theological School of the Church of Cyprus, a project which his predecessor, Archbishop Makarios III, had envisioned but failed to implement due to the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974. The school was founded as a Private School of Higher Education but according to its regulation, it was founded and operates as a non-profit charitable educational organization.

The Ecumenical Patriarch, Pope of Alexandria, Patriarch of Antioch, Patriarch of Romania, Archbishop of Albania and Metropolitan of Kyiv have expressed their condolences together with other hierarchs and religious organizations.

After the Trisagion service for the late Archbishop, His All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew made known his intention to travel to Cyprus for his funeral service.

His Beatitude have been the Father of the Orthodox Christians in Cyprus for 16 years, this includes hundreds of Filipino Orthodox Christian families living in the blessed country.

Eternal be His Memory!

Matins Gospel: (Luke 24:13-35)

At that time, [Peter rose and ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths by themselves; and he went home wondering at what had happened. That very day] two of them were going to a village named Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem, and talking with each other about all these things that had happened. While they were talking and discussing together, Jesus Himself drew near and went with them. But their eyes were kept from recognizing Him. And He said to them, "What is this conversation which you are holding with each other as you walk?" and they stood still, looking sad. Then one of them, named Cleopas, answered Him, "Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?" And He said to them, "What things?" And they said to him, "Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people, and how our chief priests and rulers delivered Him up to be condemned to death, and crucified Him. But we had hoped that He was the one to redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since this happened. Moreover, some women of our company amazed us. They were at the tomb early in the morning and did not find His body; and they came back saying that they had even seen a vision of angels, who said that He was alive. Some of those who were with us went to the tomb, and found it just as the women had said; but Him they did not see." And He said to them, "O foolish men, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! Was not it necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into this glory?" And beginning with Moses and all the prophets, He interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning Himself. So they drew near to the village to which they were going. He appeared to be going further, but they constrained Him, saying, "Stay with us, for it is toward evening and the day is now far spent." So He went in to stay with them. When He was at table with them, He took the bread and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to them. And their eyes were opened and they recognized Him; and He vanished out of their sight. They said to each other, "Did not our hearts burn within us while He talked to us on the road, while He opened to us the scriptures?" And they rose that same hour and returned to Jerusalem; and they found the eleven gathered together and those who were with them, who said, "The Lord has risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!" Then they told what had happened on the road and how He was known to them in the breaking of the bread.

Epistle Reading: (St. Paul's Second Letter to the Corinthians 6:1-10)

Brethren, working together with him, we entreat you not to accept the grace of God in vain. For he says, "At the acceptable time I have listened to you, and helped you on the day of salvation." Behold, now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation. We put no obstacle in any one's way, so that no fault may be found with our ministry, but as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: through great endurance, in afflictions, hardships, calamities, beatings, imprisonments, tumults, labors, watching, hunger; by purity, knowledge, forbearance, kindness, the Holy Spirit, genuine love, truthful speech, and the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and for the left; in honor and dishonor, in ill repute and good repute. We are treated as impostors, and yet are true; as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold we live; as punished, and yet not killed; as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing everything.

Gospel Reading: (Luke 6:31-36)

The Lord said, "As you wish that men would do to you, do so to them. If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive as much again. But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for he is kind to the ungrateful and the selfish. Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful."

(𝑴𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑫𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒆 𝑳𝒊𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒈𝒚)

On the first day of the week at early dawn, the women went to the tomb, taking spices, which they had prepared. And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel; and as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, "Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen. Remember how He told you, while He was still in Galilee, that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise." And they remembered His words and returning from the tomb they told all this to the eleven and to all the rest. Now it was Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James and the other women with them who told this to the Apostles; but these words seemed to them an idle tale, and they did not believe them. But Peter rose and ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths by themselves; and he went home wondering at what had happened.
Epistle Reading: (St. Paul's Second Letter to the Corinthians 4:6-15)
Brethren, it is the God who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, to show that the transcendent power belongs to God and not to us. We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. For while we live we are always being given up to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh. So death is at work in us, but life in you. Since we have the same spirit of faith as he had who wrote, "I believed, and so I spoke," we too believe, and so we speak, knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and bring us with you into his presence. For it is all for your sake, so that as grace extends to more and more people it may increase thanksgiving, to the glory of God.
Gospel Reading: (Luke 5:1-11)
At that time, as Jesus was standing by the lake of Gennesaret, he saw two boats by the lake; but the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets. Getting into one of the boats, which was Simon's, he asked him to put out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the people from the boat. And when he had ceased speaking, he said to Simon, "Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch." And Simon answered, "Master, we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets." And when they had done this, they enclosed a great shoal of fish; and as their nets were breaking, they beckoned to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink. But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, "Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord." For he was astonished, and all who were with him, at the catch of fish which they had taken; and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, "Do not be afraid; henceforth you will be catching men." And when they had brought their boats to land, they left everything and followed him.

Filipos 2:5-11.

Mga kapatid, taglayin ninyo ang pag-iisip na tulad ng kay Cristo Jesus; kahit siya'y nasa kalikasan ng Diyos, ay hindi niya itinuring na isang bagay na dapat panghawakan ang pagiging kapantay ng Diyos, sa halip ay itinuring niyang walang halaga ang sarili, kinuha ang kalikasan ng alipin, at naging katulad ng mga tao.

At nang natagpuan sa kaanyuan ng tao, ibinaba niya ang kanyang sarili, at naging masunurin hanggang sa kamatayan, maging kamatayan sa krus.
Kaya naman siya'y lubusang itinaas ng Diyos, at ginawaran ng pangalang higit na mataas kaysa lahat ng pangalan; upang sa pangalan ni Jesus ang bawat tuhod ay lumuhod, ang mga nasa langit, nasa lupa, at nasa ilalim ng lupa, at ipahayag ng bawat bibig na si Jesu-Cristo ay Panginoon, sa ikaluluwalhati ng Diyos Ama.

𝐄𝐁𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐘𝐎
Lukas 10:38-42, 11:27-28.

Noong panahong yaon, pumasok si Jesus sa isang nayon. Isang babae roon, na ang pangala'y Marta, ang malugod na tumanggap kay Jesus sa kanyang bahay. Mayroon siyang kapatid na babae na ang pangalan ay Maria, na naupo sa paanan ng Panginoon at nakinig sa mga sinasabi ni Jesus. Ngunit nag-aalala si Marta sa dami ng gawain kaya't lumapit siya kay Jesus at nagsabi, “Panginoon, wala bang anuman sa inyo na pinababayaan ako ng aking kapatid na maglingkod mag-isa? Sabihin ninyo sa kanya na tumulong sa akin.” Ngunit sinabi sa kanya ng Panginoon, “Marta, Marta, nag-aalala ka at nababagabag sa maraming bagay. ngunit isang bagay lamang ang kailangan. Pinili ni Maria ang mabuting bahagi at ito'y hindi kukunin sa kanya.”
Habang sinasabi ni Jesus ang mga ito, isang babae mula sa karamihan ang pasigaw na nagsabi sa kanya, “Pinagpala ang sinapupunang nagdala sa iyo at ang mga dibdib na iyong sinusuhan.” Subalit sinabi niya, “Higit na pinagpala ang mga nakikinig at sumusunod sa salita ng Diyos.”

Sa Banal na kautusan ng Diyos, ang mga maka-Diyos na Apostol sa lahat ng lupalop ay inihatid sa himpapawid.

At sa pagdating sa iyong pinakadalisay na katawan, ang simula ng Buhay, sila'y higit nagbigay pugay at paggalang.

Ang makapangyarihang hukbo ng kalangitan ay dumating kasama ng kanilang Panginoon.

Sa kamanghaan, inihatid nila ang iyong katawang walang bahid, na syang nagsilang sa Diyos. Sa kalangitan sa pagprusisyon, kanilang buong lakas na iniawit sa mga di nakikitang hukbo ng mga anghel,

"Masdan ang Reyna ng Tanan, ang Ina ng Diyos ay narito na!"

"Buksan ang tarangkahan at magbigay ng dakilang pagtanggap sa Ina ng Liwanag magpakailanman."

"Sapagkat ang kaligtasan ng sangkatauhan ay dumating sa kanyang
sinapupunan. Hindi namin makatanglaw sa kanya o diling makapagbigay ng sapat na parangal para sa kanya."

"Sapagkat ang kanyang dangal ay higit sa tanang pangunawa."

Gayunpaman O Dalisay na Theotokos, na ngayo'y nabubuhay kasama ng Haring nagkakaloob-buhay na syang iyong Anak, kailanpama'y ipanalangin kami, na kami Kanyang ipagsanggalang, iyong mga anak at kami'y iligtas mula sa mga kaaway, dahil kami'y nasa lilim ng iyong kalinga.

at magpasawalang-hanggan kami'y magbibigay pugay o pinagpala sa lahat.

Sa salaysay ng Ebanghelyo si Hesus ay palagiang nagiisa pag nagdarasal. Sa simula ng kanyang paglalakbay patungong Herusalem, bago ang kanyang pagpapakasakit at pagpako sa Krus, Siya ay umakyat sa bundok Tabor at isinama niya sila Pedro, Juan, at Santiago upang manalangin. At ang tatlong alagad na ito ay nasaksihan ang nakakagilalas na paghahayag. Ipinakita ng Panginoon sa kanila ang kanyang kaluwalhatian sa abot ng kanilang kakayahan na unawain ang pangyayayri. Nakita nila si Hesus na nangniningning at nagliliwanag higit pa sa liwanag ng araw sa langit.

Sa gulat ni Pedro nakiusap siya sa Panginoon na manatili sila sa bundok, ngunit hindi ito pinahintulutan ng Panginoon, sapagkat sinabi Niya na sila ay baba sa bundok at babalik ulit sa mundo.

Bakit hindi pinayagan ng Panginoon na manatili sila sa bundok at hayaan ang kanyang mga alagad na habangbuhay na tamasahin ang kanyang kaluwalhatian? Sapagkat hindi handa ang kanyang mga alagad na maunawaan ang paghahayag na ipinakita at ang karanasan ng bagong buhay kay Kristo.

Hindi nahihiwalay ang pagpapakita ng kaluwalhatian ni Hesus at ang Kanyang pagpapakasakit. Sa kanyang Pagbabagong-Anyo sa bundok, nakipagusap si Hesus kay Elias at kay Moyses patungkol sa Kanyang pagpapakasakit at sinabihan Niya ang mga alagad na huwag ipagkalat ang kanilang naranasan bago ang Kanyang Muling-Pagkabuhay.

Dapat nating maunawaan ang karanasan ng mga alagad sa pamamagitan ng pagpapakasakit ni Hesus. Ito ay payak lamang. Ang Kaluwalhatian ni Hesus ay ang pagpapakumbaba, pagsunod, pag-aalay at pagmamahal. Sa madaling salita, ang kaluwalhatian ni Hesus ay ang pagaalay ang sarili.

Ito ang hinihingi ni Hesus sa kanyang mga alagad. "Gagawin ko kayong taga-bahagi ng aking dakilang kaluwalhatian ngunit ipapadala ko kayo sa mundo. Upang maglingkod sa mga tao. Upang magsilbi para sa kaligtasan. At mararanasan ninyo ang pasakit at pagdurusa. Mararanasan niyo ang maraming pagdurusa dahil sa aking pangalan. Ngunit dahil sa inyong pagaalay, sa pagpapakumbaba, pagsunod, pagmamahal at pag-aalay ng sarili, kayo ay magiging taga-bahagi ng aking Liwanag at ibabahagi ang aking Liwanag sa buong sangkatauhan at sansinukob."

Ang Iglesia ay inuugnay ang Kapistahan ng Pagbabagong-Anyo sa Krus ng ating Panginoon.

Tayo ay nahuhumaling na basahin ang mga paghahayag at pagpapakita ng kaluwalhatian ng Diyos. Madami tayong pinaguusapan tungkol sa panalangin, katahimikan at mga theolohiya. Namamangha tayo pag mayroon tayong naririnig na kuwento ng mga monghe o mga santo na nagpapakita ng mga kagilagilalas na bagay. Ngunit hindi man lang natin naunawaan na ang mga bagay na ito ay nagpapakita din ng pagkamartir bilang isang Kristiyano.

Lahat ng ating tinitingalang mga santo ay nagpapakasakit sa pagsunod sa utos ng Diyos. Ang mga kamangha-manghang bagay na kanilang ipinapamalas ay hindi pawang regalo mula sa Diyos. Ito ay ang kanilang pagpapakasakit, kanilang panalangin, kanilang pagpapakumbaba at paninilbihan para sa iba.

Mahilig tayong gumawa ng hindi makatotohanang imahe ng mga santo. Nakalimutan natin na sila ay mga tao din tulad natin. Ang isa sa mga pinakadakilang theologo ng Simbahan, si San Gregorio, ay nagbibigay ng kanyang sikat na theolohiya tungkol sa Trinidad sa Konstantinopla at sa parehong paraan, ng may kapayakan at pusong madasalin ay dumadaing sa Diyos dahil sa kanyang karamdaman. Hindi na natin kailangang magbigay ng madaming halimbawa. Ang dakilang Apostol na si San Pablo na sa gabay ng Espiritu Santo ay naging dakilang mamahayag ng Ebanghelyo at saksi sa mga kamangha-manghang bagay, ngunit siya ay naghahanap buhay sa pagtatahi at pagbebenta ng tolda.

Ano ang aral sa atin?

Huwag nating maliitin ang malilit at pang araw-araw na gawain. Walang naligtas dahil nakapagaral siya ng theolohiya sa loob ng mahabang panahon o dahil mahilig makipagusap sa mga buhay at gawain ng mga santo. Ang mga nagpapakasakit at nagtitiis sa mga pagsubok ay ang mga naliligtas. Ang mga dumadalaw sa mga may sakit. Ang mga tumutulong sa nangangailangan. Ang mga nabubuhay ng may pasasalamat at papuri sa harap ng mga insulto at pangungutya ng sanlibutan. Ang mga yumuko sa kalooban ng Diyos ng may pagpapakumbaba. Ang mga nakaakyat sa tuktok ng kanilang bundok Tabor sa pamamagitan ng pasakit sa krus sa buhay Kristiyano ay ang mga tunay na Kristiyano at hindi kristiyano sa kathang-isip lamang.

«Επί του όρους μετεμορφώθης, καί ως εχώρουν οι Μαθηταί σου τήν δόξαν σου, Χριστέ ο Θεός εθεάσαντο, ίνα όταν σε ίδωσι σταυρούμενον, τό μέν πάθος νοήσωσιν εκούσιον, τώ δέ κόσμω κηρύξωσιν, ότι σύ υπάρχει αληθώς, τού Πατρός τό απαύγασμα.»

"Ikaw ay nagbagong-anyo sa bundok at ang iyong mga alagad ay natamasa ang iyong kaluwalhatian o Kristong Diyos. Upang sa kanilang pagtanaw sa iyong pagkapako ay maunawaan nila ang iyong pagpakasakit. At kanilang ipahayag sa daigdig na tunay ngang ikaw ang liwanag ng Ama!"
