St Gennadios of Constantinople
We must adorn ourselves with Truth.
We must try to speak Truth in all things.
We must never support any lie
no matter what the circumstances!
When we speak the Truth, which angers others,
we must not become upset
but take comfort in the Words of our Lord Jesus Christ
Who told us: Blessed are those who are persecuted for the
sake of Truth, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven!

St Nektarios of Pentapolis & Aegina
As Orthodox Christians Faithful Disciples of Christ
we must be courteous to all Creation.
Our words and deeds should breathe
with the Grace of the Holy Spirit,
which abides in our soul,
so that in this way we might Glorify the Name of God.
Those who regulate all their speech,
also regulate all their actions.
Those who keep watch over the words they are about say
also keeps watch over the deeds they intend to do,
and they never go out of the bounds
of good and benevolent conduct.
The Graceful speech of a Faithful Christian
is characterized by delicateness and politeness.
This fact, born of Love,
produces Peace and Joy.
On the other hand,
boorishness gives birth to hatred, enmity, affliction,
competitiveness, disorder and wars.

And taking the Testimonies, he put
them into the Ark.
he inserted the poles under the
Ark, and he took the Ark into the
Tabernacle, hung up the Veil of the
Covering, and partitioned off the
Ark of the Testimony, as the Lord
commanded Moses...
And he put the Table in the
Tabernacle of Testimony on the
North Side, without the Veil of the
Tabernacle.
And he put on it the Showbread before
the Lord, as the Lord commanded
Moses.
And he put the Lampstand in the
Tabernacle of Testimony, on the
South Side of the Tabernacle.
And he placed its Lamps before the
Lord, as the Lord commanded
Moses.
he put the Golden Altar in the
Tabernacle of Testimony, in front of
the Veil, and burnt incense on it, as
the Lord commanded Moses.
And he put the Altar of Burnt Offerings
before the doors of the Tabernacle.
And he set up the court all around the
Tabernacle and the Altar.
And Moses completed all the Work.
And the Cloud covered the Tabernacle
of Testimony, and the Glory of the
Lord filled the Tabernacle.
And Moses was unable to enter the
Tabernacle of Testimony for the
Cloud overshadowed It, and the
Glory of the Lord filled the

When the Cloud Ascended from the

the Cloud was above the Tabernacle
