“DO YOU BELIEVE IN ANGELS?”
By Fr. Manuel J. Burdusi
On November 8th, we commemorate
the Archangels Michael and Gabriel and
all the bodiless and heavenly orders - the
angels. For Orthodox Christians, angels
are not merely faithful decorations for
Christmas trees, but real heavenly beings
created by God. Angels do exist and they
have a function in God’s plan of salvation.
So how do I know there are angels when
they can’t be seen? For the same reason
there are satellite waves that carry our
voices, pictures and music through the air.
How can we speak with someone on a
cell phone and hear someone thousands of
miles away when there is no wire connection? It’s an invisible connection, yet it
does exist. So it is with the angels. They
do exist even if they can’t be seen. Just
because I cannot see them does not mean
that they do not exist. Others have seen
them and the Bible, which is God’s word
to us, has vouched for their existence.
Jesus believed in angels. When they came
to arrest Jesus in the garden of
Gethsemane, He said that He could pray
to His Father in heaven and He would
send 12 legions of angels to His aid. The
angels belong to Jesus, because He created them in the beginning before man. In
his Epistle to the Hebrews, St. Paul says
the angels are “ministering spirits sent
forth to serve for the sake of those who
are to obtain salvation.” (Heb. 1:14)
There are over 300 references to angels
in the Bible. The existence of angels tells
us that God is constantly intervening in
the world to guide, comfort, strengthen
and protect us. The world is always open
to God’s loving, caring intervention. Angels therefore are not only messengers,
but also protectors.
We also believe in guardian angels. In
the prayers of the baptismal service, we
ask God to assign a special guardian angel
to the newly baptized child to protect him
throughout the journey of life. Think
about your own life and ask yourself how
many times an angel has helped you, protected you or even healed you? I can think
of many times in my life. Remember that
when our prayers ascend to heaven, God
sends the angels and they descend to help us.
God loves us so much that He has assigned each of us an angel for our life’s journey. Have we come to know our guardian
angel or do we forget that he is there. Let us
make friends with the angel that is beside us
at all times, for it is he that will carry us to
God’s presence when we die. Each time we
pray we should remind ourselves that an
angel of the Lord is with us and thank God
for keeping him near us. Let us also imitate
our guardian angel and go out of our way to
help people around us as we go through life.
I conclude with a petition that we say at
every Divine Liturgy, “For an angel of
peace, a faithful guide, a guardian of our
souls and bodies, let us ask of the Lord.”
May you have an angelic November filled
with a heart of gratitude and thanks to God.
– Fr. Manuel

November/¡Ô¤Ì‚ÚÈÔ˜—2005
GIVING THANKS
“Thank you”, “efharisto”, - one of the
very first phrases that as youngsters we have
all been taught by our parents and reinforced by our teachers and caring adults who
have helped to mold our character.
We have been taught to thank God daily
for our blessings; for all that we are and all
that we possess have been bestowed through
His Grace. Not only does God want each of
us to communicate with Him individually
through prayer in the privacy of our homes,
but He wants us to praise and glorify Him
and to thank Him collectively as we celebrate the liturgy, the Eucharist, together in
the church edifice.
We have been taught to thank persons
who have shown us acts of kindness, for
their thoughtfulness, as well as material gifts.
When we receive gifts in response to formal
invitations to celebratory occasions, we acknowledge them properly with formal cards
of thanks. Knowing this to be proper etiquette greeting card companies conve-
niently group their wares along side one another in their display cases.
Why then are expressions of thanks becoming rarer in today’s society? Are we
taking kindnesses for granted? It’s as
though the words “thank you” are headed
toward extinction. Will we be seeing them
on the endangered list?
It costs us nothing to express our appreciation to one another: to family members,
close friends, mere acquaintances, the mail
carrier, the clerk at the mall, persons you
encounter whom you don’t know and will
probably never meet whether offering you
service by phone or giving you the right-ofway on the highway, etc., etc., etc.
A pleasant smile and a simple “thanks”
go a long way in helping the recipient of
such a gesture enjoy a brighter day. Furthermore, this behavior is contagious. Repaying a favor by extending a favor to someone
else is a meaningful way to express gratitude.

It is pleasing to God to see us, His creations, be gracious toward each other. As
Jesus Christ our Savior taught us, let us treat
our neighbor as we would like to be treated.
Let us strive to treat our neighbor as we
would treat Jesus Himself, for He dwells in
each of us. To paraphrase Mother Teresa:
One should feel uplifted for having met and
been with you.
As our national holiday of Thanksgiving
approaches may it serve as a reminder to us
that just as our forefathers constantly gave
thanks to God for their freedoms in the new
nation; so, too, must we praise and thank
God for the blessings He has bestowed on
our beloved America. May he grant us the
guidance, wisdom, strength, and courage to
stay the course.

welcomes your input. We need your involvement and ideas to make this year’s
parade a spectacular one! Join us at St.
Nicholas Church on Wednesday, November

Knowing that you have enjoyed the celebration and would like to support the parade
financially, you can accomplish this and fulfill a Christmas decoration at the same time.
We are taking orders for fresh cut Colorado
Blue Spruce Christmas trees and Christmas
sprays/swags of fresh greens and holly to
raise funds for the parade. The number of
trees is limited cost $40 (Bigger trees may
cost more). The price of the sprays/swags
for use at home or cemetery is $15. A $10
deposit will reserve your order.Please fill
out an order form available in the church office or place an order by calling 410-8174440. All orders will be available on November 27th.
ARMED FORCES SERVICEMEN
AND WOMEN
We are asking the families of our St.
Nicholas armed forces servicemen and
women to help us honor them. An informative display will be created in our atrium
showcase for all, especially our children, to
admire and honor. Please call the Church
office 410-633-5020 for more details.
GREEKTOWN CDC
Are you interested in learning more
about our religion? Do you have questions
about the Divine Liturgy… about our Orthodox traditions? If so, join the Orthodox
Studies sessions to learn more about topics
that interest you.
For most of us, our Sunday School days are
fond memories and as adults attaining more
knowledge about our faith will serve to
bring us closer to God. We’ll be looking for
you on November 9, 2005 at 7:00 p.m. sharp
in the Church Library.
The Greektown CDC was proud to be a
sponsor of a Fall Community Clean Up on
Saturday, October 22, 2005. Many residents
came out to pitch in and make Greektown a
cleaner place to live.
The Greektown CDC continues to hire offduty uniform police on foot patrol in our
community. They supplement the efforts of
the Southeastern Police District. If you see
a crime, call 911.
Community Clean Ups and dumpsters have
helped to keep our community clean. The
next dates for dumpsters in Greektown are
November 26 and December 17, 2005. We
encourage all our neighbors to pitch in and
keep their community clean. Please put
trash in trashcans and sweep your sidewalks
and curbs. Call 311 to report neighbors who
don’t.
Believe in your community!
