HYMNS OF THE DAY:

(1) RESURRECTIONAL APOLYTIKION. MODE 4. (DURING ENTRANCE)

When the women Disciples of the Lord had learned from the Angel the

joyful message of the Resurrection and rejected the ancestral decision,

they cried aloud to the Apostles triumphantly: Death has been despoiled,

Christ God has risen, granting His great mercy to the world.

Τὸ φαιδρὸν τῆς Ἀναστάσεως κήρυγμα, ἐκ τοῦ Ἀγγέλου μαθοῦσαι αἱ τοῦ

Κυρίου Μαθήτριαι, καὶ τὴν προγονικὴν ἀπόφασιν ἀποῤῥίψασαι, τοῖς

Ἀποστόλοις καυχώμεναι ἔλεγον· Ἐσκύλευται ὁ θάνατος, ἠγέρθη

Χριστὸς ὁ Θεός, δωρούμενος τῷ κόσμῳ τὸ μέγα ἔλεος.

(2) RESURRECTIONAL APOLYTIKION. MODE 4. (AFTER SMALL ENTRANCE)

When the women Disciples of the Lord had learned from the Angel the

joyful message of the Resurrection and rejected the ancestral decision,

they cried aloud to the Apostles triumphantly: Death has been despoiled,

Christ God has risen, granting His great mercy to the world.

Τὸ φαιδρὸν τῆς Ἀναστάσεως κήρυγμα, ἐκ τοῦ Ἀγγέλου μαθοῦσαι αἱ τοῦ

Κυρίου Μαθήτριαι, καὶ τὴν προγονικὴν ἀπόφασιν ἀποῤῥίψασαι, τοῖς

Ἀποστόλοις καυχώμεναι ἔλεγον· Ἐσκύλευται ὁ θάνατος, ἠγέρθη

Χριστὸς ὁ Θεός, δωρούμενος τῷ κόσμῳ τὸ μέγα ἔλεος.

(3) APOLYTIKION FOR ST. ANTHONY THE GREAT. MODE 4.

Emulating the ways of Elijah the zealot, and following the straight paths

of the Baptist, O Father Anthony, you made the wilderness a city, and

did support the world by your prayers. Wherefore intercede with Christ

our God, that our souls be saved.

Τὸν ζηλωτὴν Ἠλίαν τοῖς τρόποις μιμούμενος, τῷ Βαπτιστῇ εὐθείαις ταῖς

τρίβοις ἑπόμενος, Πάτερ Ἀντώνιε, τῆς ἐρήμου γέγονας οἰκιστής, καί τήν

οἰκουμένην ἐστήριξας εὐχαῖς σου· διὸ πρέσβευε Χριστῷ τῷ Θεῷ

σωθῆναι τὰς ψυχὰς ἡμῶν.

(4) SEASONAL KONTAKION. MODE 4.

The Savior's most pure and immaculate temple, the very precious bridal

chamber and Virgin, who is the sacred treasure of the glory of God, on

this day is introduced into the House of the Lord, and with herself she

brings the grace in the divine Spirit. She is extolled by the Angels of

God. A heavenly tabernacle is she.

Ὁ καθαρώτατος ναὸς τοῦ Σωτῆρος, ἡ πολυτίμητος παστὰς καὶ

Παρθένος, τὸ ἱερὸν θησαύρισμα τῆς δόξης τοῦ Θεοῦ, σήμερον

εἰσάγεται, ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ Κυρίου, τὴν χάριν συνεισάγουσα, τὴν ἐν Πνεύματι

Θείῳ· ἣν ἀνυμνοῦσιν Ἄγγελοι Θεοῦ· Αὕτη ὑπάρχει σκηνὴ ἐπουράνιος.

SCRIPTURE READINGS OF THE DAY:

Orthros Gospel Reading

Tenth Orthros Gospel

The Gospel According to John 21:1-14

At that time, being raised from the dead, Jesus revealed himself to the disciples by

the Sea of Tiberias; and he revealed himself in this way. Simon Peter, Thomas called

the Twin, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his

disciples were together. Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing." They said

to him, "We will go with you." They went out and got into the boat; but that night

they caught nothing. Just as day was breaking, Jesus stood on the beach; but the

disciples did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to them, "Children, have you any

fish?" They answered him, "No." He said to them, "Cast the net on the right side of

the boat, and you will find some." So they cast it, and now they were not able to

haul it in, for the quantity of fish. The disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It

is the Lord!" When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his clothes,

for he was stripped for work, and sprang into the sea. But the other disciples came

in the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from the land, but

about a hundred yards off. When they got out on land, they saw a charcoal fire there,

with fish lying on it, and bread. Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish that you

have just caught." So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore, full of

large fish, a hundred and fifty-three of them; and although there were so many, the

net was not torn. Jesus said to them, "Come and have breakfast." Now none of the

disciples dared ask him, "Who are you?" They knew it was the Lord. Jesus came

and took the bread and gave it to them, and so with the fish. This was now the third

time that Jesus was revealed to the disciples after he was raised from the dead.

Epistle Reading

Prokeimenon. O Lord, how manifold are your works. You have made all things in

wisdom. Verse: Bless the Lord, O my soul.

The reading is from St. Paul's Letter to the Galatians 2:16-20

Brethren, knowing that a man is not justified by works of the law but through faith

in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by

faith in Christ, and not by works of the law, because by works of the law shall no

one be justified. But if, in our endeavor to be justified in Christ, we ourselves were

found to be sinners, is Christ then an agent of sin? Certainly not! But if I build up again those things which I tore down, then I prove myself a transgressor. For I

through the law died to the law, that I might live to God. I have been crucified with

Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me; and the life I now live

in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for

me.

Gospel Reading

8th Sunday of Luke

The Gospel According to Luke 10:25-37

At that time, a lawyer stood up to put Jesus to the test, saying, "Teacher, what shall

I do to inherit eternal life?" He said to him, "What is written in the law? How do

you read?" And he answered, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart,

and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your

neighbor as yourself." And he said to him, "You have answered right; do this, and

you will live." But he, desiring to justify himself, said to Jesus, "And who is my

neighbor?" Jesus replied, "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and

he fell among robbers, who stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him

half dead. Now by chance a priest was going down that road; and when he saw him

he passed by on the other side. So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and

saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to

where he was; and when he saw him, he had compassion, and went to him and bound

up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine; then he set him on his own beast and

brought him to an inn, and took care of him. And the next day he took out two

denarii and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, 'Take care of him; and whatever

more you spend, I will repay you when I come back.' Which of these three, do you

think, proved neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?" He said, "The one

who showed mercy on him." And Jesus said to him, "Go and do likewise."

John the Merciful, Patriarch of Alexandria (Nov. 12th)

Saint John was born in 555 on the island of Cyprus in the city of Amathus; his

father, Epiphanius, was a ruler of Cyprus. The Saint was consecrated

Archbishop of Alexandria in 608. A man of exemplary uprightness, in his zeal

for Orthodoxy he strove mightily to fight the many heresies among the

Christians in Egypt; but above all, he was famous for his singular generosity,

humility, and sympathy towards all, especially the poor. His mercy was so

great that the report of it reached the Persian invaders of Jerusalem, who

desired to see him because of it. Saint John reposed in 619, at the age of sixty-

four.
