Jesus told the people, Love your enemies!

Let the little children come to me, and do not forbid them, for such is the Kingdom of Heaven. Mark 10:4

Can we really love our enemies?

Cops and robbers. Cowboys and Indians. Spacemen and aliens. Youve probably played all those games. But in real life, do we have enemies? If we listen to todays Gospel lesson, we hear how its easy to love our friends. Its easy to love people who love us. Its easy to help people who help us. And its easy to do nice things for people who do nice things for us! But can we do that for our enemies? Our Lord loves His enemies! Can we try to love them? Today we hear Christ tell us, Love your enemies! So lets listen to Him! Can you make a secret list of your enemiessomebody who you might not like (or might not like you)? Another kid at school? Somebody in your neighborhood? On your soccer team? What can you do nice for him or her? How can you be like Christ? Just remember, He had a lot more people after Him. But He loved them even at the end!

ST. DIONYSIOS
Did you know you can walk where the saints once walked?
You can do this all over the worldin Greece, in Russia, in Egypt,...even here in the United States. One very special saint lived at the same time as Saint Paul did, about 2,000 years ago! His name was Saint Dionysios. At first, he didnt believe in God. He believed in many St. Dionysios the Areopogite of the Greek gods. But once, he heard Saint Paul in a court called the Areopagus in Athens, Greece. St. Paul was giving a big, wonderful speech, and Dionysios listened. After that, he decided to believe in Jesus Christ!
St. Dionysios believed in God so strongly that he even became a bishop. If you go to Athens one day, you can visit the Areopagus. That was the very spot where St. Dionysios listened to St. Paul almost two thousand years ago!
We celebrate the nameday of St. Dionysios on Thursday, October 3rd.
You can visit the Areopagus in Athens, Greece!

Can you find the solea?

Can you find the solea in your church? Thats the part in front of the icons. You usually have to walk up steps to get there.
