Thursday night – the Service of the Twelve Gospels

Last night at the service hearing the full story of Christ’s suffering and crucifixion, seeing the cross brought brought out to the centre of the church something quietly opened for me.

For a long time, I struggled with the Passion of Christ.
Why doesn’t He defend Himself?
Why remain silent in the face of injustice?

But last night, I began to see it differently.

Christ is not passive.
He is living what He taught.

The Beatitudes from the Gospel of Matthew are not just beautiful words — they are revealed in Him:

• “Blessed are the poor in spirit” → He humbles Himself, even to the Cross
• “Blessed are the meek” → He does not resist His accusers
• “Blessed are those persecuted for righteousness” → He suffers, though innocent

In that moment, it became clear:
the Beatitudes are not ideals to admire…
they are Christ Himself.

And yet, I couldn’t help but feel a quiet frustration too.

So much of this depth can be missed.
When the service is heard in Greek, and without a prayer book to follow, these connections can pass by unnoticed.

But they are there… gently woven into the service.

Perhaps Holy Week is inviting us not just to listen,
but to see…
not just to hear the words,
but to recognise Christ within them.

Even in silence. Even in suffering. Even on the Cross.

Kali Anastasi to all who are walking this Holy Week journey.

I thought I share this , as in some parts of the world Easter will be celebrated on Sunday. I thought I share how the Hreek Orthodox prepare for Easter .

Greek Orthodox Easter, or Pascha, is the most important religious feast of the year, with customs and traditions that have been part of Christianity for two thousand years. Full story: https://tinyurl.com/yc4ytmk5

🌱 Easter is Not Over
Many have already celebrated Easter.
The joy, the gatherings, the “He is risen.”
And yet… for some of us, the journey is still unfolding.

We have only just entered Palm Sunday.

We are still walking toward the Cross.
Still sitting in the tension.
Still learning to be present.

It is a quiet reminder that faith does not always move at the same pace for everyone.

In much of the Western world, Easter has already passed.

But in the Orthodox journey, Easter has not yet come.
We are still preparing.
Still being invited inward.
Still being asked to slow down.
We are entering Holy Week.

There is something deeply meaningful in this.

While the world moves on quickly—
from celebration to the next thing—
we are reminded that resurrection is not rushed.

It is prepared for.
Waited for.
Lived through.

Perhaps this is something we can all reflect on, no matter where we are in the journey.
• Have we moved too quickly past the Cross?
• Have we allowed space for stillness… or rushed toward celebration?
• Are we living Easter… or just remembering it?

🌿 Easter is not only a date.
It is a passage.

And maybe…
for all of us…
it is not over yet.

🌱 Bible Verse

“Be still, and know that I am God.” — Psalm 46:10

🌿 Reflection

Where are you right now—
in the celebration…
or still on the journey?

Easter Reflection: Leadership, Consequences, and Faith

In Jesus’ time, leaders often made choices to please the few or the powerful, not what was right for the people. Their decisions led to injustice, suffering, and ultimately, the Crucifixion. Yet, through God’s plan, what seemed like failure became a turning point for humanity.

Easter reminds us that faith, trust, and courage matter — even when the right choice is hard. True leadership, like Christ’s, is not about taking the moral high ground for show, but about making difficult decisions for the good of all, not just the few.

In our everyday lives, the same principle applies: choices have consequences. Thinking beyond short-term gain and considering the broader impact can guide us toward actions that are truly good, just, and life-giving.

This Easter, let us reflect on what it means to act rightly, with faith, responsibility, and care for humanity as a whole.

🌿 Easter, Passover, and the Flow of Time

When Easter and Passover arrive close together, it’s a gentle reminder that faith isn’t just history—it’s alive and present. Passover celebrates freedom as a divine gift, and Easter continues that journey through Christ, showing us that love and forgiveness guide our freedom.

In a world where mistrust seems to grow, how can we live the unconditional love Christ taught? And if Easter were celebrated on a single date, what would truly guide that choice?

Archetype: The Harmoniser (Jeliel) ✨
The Harmoniser carries a quiet strength…bringing peace where there is tension,and clarity where there is confusion.

This archetype teaches that harmony does not come from controlling others,
but from being deeply centred within yourself.

When you are present…
you respond instead of react.
You listen instead of assume.
You create peace, rather than chase it.
📖 “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.” — Matthew 5:9

Jeliel gently guides us to:
✨ honour our true self
✨ stay grounded in the present moment
✨ trust the wisdom within

True harmony begins inside…
and from there, it flows naturally into every relationship.

✨ Be centred.
✨ Be present.
✨ Bring peace.

Guardian Angel 2 — ✨
Main attribute:
‘One who cultivates self-love and wisdom to inspire others’

Sacred Teaching: Live in the present moment.

Live in the present moment what does it mean?

To be present is to be centred… aware… fully here.
In that space, everything becomes clear and vivid. We are no longer scattered or distracted — we are grounded in what is happening right now. There is no rushing, no overthinking, no wandering mind. Just quiet focus.

And in that stillness, something beautiful happens…
We begin to respond to life with clarity. Our decisions become wiser. Our actions feel aligned.

When we are not present, we feel the opposite.
Disconnected. Unsettled. Pulled in many directions at once. And from that space, we often lose our sense of direction.

📖 “Be still, and know that I am God.” — Psalm 46:10

🌿 Jeliel’s guidance
Jeliel gently reminds us to return to ourselves. Ignore the noice around us and to be present..
To honour our uniqueness.
To cultivate self-love.

This angel encourages us to look within…
to trust our intuition…
and to remember that the truth we seek is already inside us.

We are not here to live someone else’s truth.
We are here to discover and live our own.

When we stay present, listen to our intuitive self, and trust what is within…
we begin to naturally create what our heart truly desires.

✨ Be present.
✨ Be centred.
✨ Be you.

Letting go… and reaching out.

Two quiet movements of the heart that often belong together.

Under the gentle energy of —the angel of new beginnings—you are reminded that transformation is not only about starting over… but also about softening, releasing, and allowing love to flow outward.

🌿 Reflection
Letting go does not mean closing your heart.
It means releasing what weighs it down—old pain, old roles, old expectations.

And in that space… something new can emerge.

Sometimes, the very act of beginning again is to reach out—
a kind word, a small gesture, a moment of presence for someone who may be struggling.
You don’t need to have everything together to help someone else.
Often, it is through your own healing that you recognise another’s need.

🕊️ There is a quiet mystery here:
When you let go, your hands are no longer full…
and they become free to give.

✝️ “Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfil the law of Christ.” (Galatians 6:2)

Pause gently…
What is one thing you can release today…
and who might be touched by a simple act of kindness from you? ✨

“What the caterpillar calls the end… the rest of the world calls a butterfly.”

A quiet reminder that endings are not always what they seem.

The energy of guardian Angel —the angel of new beginnings—encourages you to see transformation differently.

Sometimes life asks you to let go…
of a role, a season, a belief, or even a version of yourself.
It can feel like loss.
It can feel like an ending.

But something unseen is taking place.

🦋 Symbolic Reflection: The Butterfly
The caterpillar does not become a butterfly by holding on.
It surrenders to a process it cannot fully understand.

In the same way, your “ending” may be the very place where God is reshaping you… quietly, gently, and with purpose.

You may not recognise who you are becoming yet—
but that doesn’t mean transformation isn’t already unfolding.

✝️ “If anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: the old has gone, the new is here!” (2 Corinthians 5:17)

Pause softly…
What feels like an ending in your life right now…
and could it be the beginning of something new? ✨

22/03/2026

Starting again is not always easy… especially when you are surrounded by people who still live in the past.

You may feel pulled back into old stories, old labels, or old versions of yourself that no longer reflect who you are becoming.

But a new beginning is, first and foremost, an inner decision.

The energy of —the angel of new beginnings—reminds you: the spark within you does not need permission to grow.

🌿 Gentle Reflection
Not everyone will move forward at the same time as you.
Some hold onto the past because it feels safe, familiar, or unresolved.

You don’t need to argue with them.
You don’t need to prove your change.

You simply need to live it.

Create small boundaries where you can.
Choose your responses with calm.
Return to the present moment, again and again.

Over time, your peace will speak louder than any explanation.

✝️ “Forget the former things… See, I am doing a new thing!” (Isaiah 43:18–19)

Pause gently…
Can you allow others their journey, while still honouring your own new beginning? ✨
