Divine Liturgy Hymnal, p. 78:  THE DISMISSAL:
May He Who is risen from the dead, Christ...
To heed Jesus’ message concerning earthly riches is to live it out in practical action that affirms unconditional, sacrificial love, relationship and community. This is perhaps the reason why our age almost unanimously admires revolutionaries like Mother Theresa, Mahatma Gandhi and Albert Schweitzer. They demonstrate that “it is not how a man ranks on the achievement scale of the divine commandments or in the acquisition of wealth that is the essential question, but the intensity of his commitment to the work of preparing for the Kingdom of God [Mk 10:17-31](H.C.KEE, et al., 1973).  To overcome poverty, Christ assumed poverty, and called His disciples to practice the same ascesis.  For “what is not assumed, cannot be healed,” wrote St Athanasius.  This work can best be accomplished in the Church’s “sacrificial self-transcendence and struggle to
attain communion. It provides a basis for social justice that is genuine and not merely rationalistic; it liberates work from slavery to need, transforming it into a personal relationship and it brings out each human being’s creative distinctiveness” (C.YANNARAS, 1984). “Our greatest and only resource is the miracle of human creativity in a relation of openness to the divine,” writes George Gilder (1981), who concludes with the following poem, ascribed to Reinhold Niebuhr (1892-1971): “Nothing worth doing is completed / in one lifetime. / Therefore we must be saved by hope. / Nothing true or beautiful makes / complete sense / in any context of history. / Therefore we must be saved by faith. / Nothing we do, no matter how virtuous, / can be accomplished alone. / Therefore, we are saved by love.”
