Hymns Hymn

Τὸ φαιδρὸν τῆς Ἀναστάσεως κήρυγμα, ἐκ τοῦ Ἀγγέλου μαθοῦσαι αἱ τοῦ Κυρίου Μαθήτριαι, καὶ τὴν προγονικὴν

ἀπόφασιν ἀπορρίψασαι, τοῖς Ἀποστόλοις καυχώμεναι ἔλεγον· Ἐσκύλευται ὁ θάνατος, ἠγέρθη Χριστὸς ὁ Θεός,

δωρούμενος τῷ κόσμῳ τὸ μέγα ἔλεος.

To fedron tis Anastaseos kirigma, ek tu angelu mathuse e tu Kiriu mathitrie, ke tin progonikin apofasin aporrip-

sase, tis Apostolis kafhomena elegon Eskilefte o thantos, igerthi Christos o Theos, thorumenos to kosmo to mega

eleos.

When the tidings of the resurrection from the glorious angel was proclaimed unto the women disciples and our

ancestral sentence also had been abolished to the Apostles with boasting did they proclaim that death is van-

quished ever more and Christ our God has risen from the dead and granted to the world His great mercy.

Hymn for St . John Cl imacus

Ταῖς τῶν δακρύων σου ῥοαῖς, τῆς ἐρήμου τὸ ἄγονον ἐγεώργησας, καὶ τοῖς ἐκ βάθους στεναγμοῖς, εἰς ἑκατὸν τοὺς

πόνους ἐκαρποφόρησας, καὶ γέγονας φωστὴρ τῇ οἰκουμένῃ, λάμπων τοῖς θαύμασιν, Ἰωάννη Πατὴρ ἡμῶν ὅσιε,

πρέσβευε Χριστῷ τῷ Θεῷ, σωθῆναι τὰς ψυχὰς ἠμῶν.

With the streams of thy tears, thou didst cultivate the barrenness of the desert; and by thy sighings from the

depths, thou didst bear fruit a hundredfold in labors; and thou became a luminary shining with miracles upon the

world, O John our righteous Father. Intercede with Christ God that our souls be saved

Hymn for the Transf igurat ion of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Chris t

Μετεμορφώθης εν τώ όρει Χριστέ ο Θεός, δείξας τοίς Μαθηταίς σου τήν δόξαν σου, καθώς ήδυναντο, Λάμψον καί

ημίν τοίς αμαρτωλοίς, τό φώς σου τό αϊδιον, πρεσβείαις τής Θεοτόκου, φωτοδότα δόξα σοι.

Metemorfothis en to ori, Christe o Theos, dixas tis mathites Sou tin doxan Sou, kathos idynando Lampson ke imin

tis amartolis to fos Sou to aidion, presvies tis Theotokou Fotodota doxa Si.

When O Christ our God Thou wast Transfigured on the mountain Thou didst reveal Thy glory to Thy disciples in

proportion as they could bear it. Let Thine everlasting light also enlighten us sinners. Through the intercessions of

the Theotokos, O Thou Bestower of light, glory to Thee

Megalynarion

Ἐπὶ σοὶ χαίρει, Κεχαριτωμένη, πᾶσα ἡ κτίσις, ἀγγέλων τὸ σύστημα, καὶ ἀνθρώπων τὸ γένος, ἡγιασμένε ναέ, καὶ

Παράδεισε λογικέ, παρθενικὸν καύχημα· ἐξ ἧς Θεὸς ἐσαρκώθη, καὶ παιδίον γέγονεν, ὁ πρὸ αἰώνων ὑπάρχων Θεὸς

ἡμῶν· τὴν γὰρ σὴν μήτραν θρόνον ἐποίησε, καὶ τὴν σὴν γαστέρα, πλατυτέραν οὐρανῶν ἀπειργάσατο. Ἐπὶ σοὶ χαίρει,

Κεχαριτωμένη, πᾶσα ἡ κτίσις· δόξα σοι.

All of creation rejoices in you, O full of grace; the assembly of angels and the human race. You are a sanctified

temple and a spiritual paradise , the glory from whom God was incarnate and become a child our God existing

before all ages. He made your womb a throne, and your body more spacious than the heavens. All of creation re-

joices in you, O full of grace. Glory to you.

Epistle - St. Paul's Letter to the Hebrews 6:13-20 Prokeimenon. Mode 4.

Psalm 103.24,1

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 He-

brews 6:13-20

B RETHREN, when God made a promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater by whom to swear, he swore to himself, saying,

"Surely I will bless you and multiply you." And

thus Abraham, having patiently endured, obtained

the promise. Men indeed swear by a greater than

themselves, and in all their disputes an oath is fi-

nal for confirmation. So when God desired to

show more convincingly to the heirs of the prom-

ise the unchangeable character of his purpose, he

interposed with an oath, so that through two un-

changeable things, in which it is impossible that

God should prove false, we who have fled for ref-

uge might have strong encouragement to seize the

hope set before us. We have this as a sure and

steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters in-

to the inner shrine behind the curtain, where Jesus

has gone as a forerunner on our behalf, having

become a high priest for ever after the order of

Melchizedek

Προκείμενον. Ήχος δ'.

ΨΑΛΜΟΙ 103.24,1

Ὡς ἐμεγαλύνθη τὰ ἔργα σου Κύριε, πάντα ἐν

σοφίᾳ ἐποίησας.

Στίχ. Εὐλόγει ἡ ψυχή μου τὸν Κύριον.

Πρὸς Ἑβραίους 6:13-20 τὸ ἀνάγνωσμα

Ἀ δελφοί, τῷ Ἀβραὰμ ἐπαγγειλάμενος ὁ θεός, ἐπεὶ κατʼ οὐδενὸς εἶχεν μείζονος ὀμόσαι, ὤμοσεν καθʼ ἑαυτοῦ, λέγων, Ἦ μὴν εὐλογῶν

εὐλογήσω σε, καὶ πληθύνων πληθυνῶ σε. Καὶ

οὕτως μακροθυμήσας ἐπέτυχεν τῆς ἐπαγγελίας.

Ἄνθρωποι μὲν γὰρ κατὰ τοῦ μείζονος ὀμνύουσιν,

καὶ πάσης αὐτοῖς ἀντιλογίας πέρας εἰς βεβαίωσιν

ὁ ὅρκος. Ἐν ᾧ περισσότερον βουλόμενος ὁ θεὸς

ἐπιδεῖξαι τοῖς κληρονόμοις τῆς ἐπαγγελίας τὸ

ἀμετάθετον τῆς βουλῆς αὐτοῦ, ἐμεσίτευσεν ὅρκῳ,

ἵνα διὰ δύο πραγμάτων ἀμεταθέτων, ἐν οἷς

ἀδύνατον ψεύσασθαι θεόν, ἰσχυρὰν παράκλησιν

ἔχωμεν οἱ καταφυγόντες κρατῆσαι τῆς

προκειμένης ἐλπίδος· ἣν ὡς ἄγκυραν ἔχομεν τῆς

ψυχῆς ἀσφαλῆ τε καὶ βεβαίαν, καὶ εἰσερχομένην

εἰς τὸ ἐσώτερον τοῦ καταπετάσματος· ὅπου

πρόδρομος ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν εἰσῆλθεν Ἰησοῦς, κατὰ τὴν

τάξιν Μελχισεδὲκ ἀρχιερεὺς γενόμενος εἰς τὸν

αἰῶνα.

Next week’s Epistle reader Nina Kenyon

We will be passing a second tray today for

Hellenic College Holy Cross

Th e G o s p e l Ac c o r d i n g t o Ma r k 9 : 1 7 - 3 1 A t that time, a man came to Jesus kneeling and saying: "Teacher, I brought my son to you, for he has a dumb spirit; and wherever it seizes him it

dashes him down; and he foams and grinds his teeth

and becomes rigid; and I asked your disciples to

cast it out, and they were not able." And he an-

swered them, "O faithless generation, how long am I

to be with you? How long am I to bear with you?

Bring him to me." And they brought the boy to him;

and when the spirit saw him, immediately it con-

vulsed the boy, and he fell on the ground and rolled

about, foaming at the mouth. And Jesus asked his

father, "How long has he had this?" And he said,

"From childhood. And it has often cast him into the

fire and into the water, to destroy him; but if you

can do anything, have pity on us and help us." And

Jesus said to him, "If you can! All things are possi-

ble to him who believes." Immediately the father of

the child cried out and said, "I believe; help my un-

belief!" And when Jesus saw that a crowd came run-

ning together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying

to it, "You dumb and deaf spirit, I command you,

come out of him, and never enter him again." And

after crying out and convulsing him terribly, it came

out, and the boy was like a corpse; so that most of

them said, "He is dead." But Jesus took him by the

hand and lifted him up, and he arose. And when he

had entered the house, his disciples asked him pri-

vately, "Why could we not cast it out?" And he said

to them, "This kind cannot be driven out by any-

thing but prayer and fasting." They went on from

there and passed through Galilee. And he would not

have any one know it; for he was teaching his disci-

ples, saying to them, "The Son of man will be deliv-

ered into the hands of men, and they will kill him;

and when he is killed, after three days he will rise."

Τ ῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ, ἄνθρωπός τις προσῆλθε τῷ Ἰησοῦ λέγων, διδάσκαλε, ἤνεγκα τὸν υἱόν μου πρός σε, ἔχοντα πνεῦμα ἄλαλον. καὶ ὅπου ἂν αὐτὸν

καταλάβῃ, ῥήσσει αὐτόν, καὶ ἀφρίζει καὶ τρίζει τοὺς

ὀδόντας αὐτοῦ, καὶ ξηραίνεται· καὶ εἶπον τοῖς

μαθηταῖς σου ἵνα αὐτὸ ἐκβάλωσι, καὶ οὐκ

ἴσχυσαν. ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς αὐτῷ λέγει· ὦ γενεὰ

ἄπιστος, ἕως πότε πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἔσομαι; ἕως πότε

ἀνέξομαι ὑμῶν; φέρετε αὐτὸν πρός με. καὶ ἤνεγκαν

αὐτὸν πρὸς αὐτόν. καὶ ἰδὼν αὐτὸν εὐθέως τὸ πνεῦμα

ἐσπάραξεν αὐτόν, καὶ πεσὼν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ἐκυλίετο

ἀφρίζων. καὶ ἐπηρώτησε τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ · πόσος

χρόνος ἐστὶν ὡς τοῦτο γέγονεν αὐτῷ; ὁ δὲ εἶπε ·

παιδιόθεν. καὶ πολλάκις αὐτὸν καὶ εἰς πῦρ ἔβαλε καὶ

εἰς ὕδατα, ἵνα ἀπολέσῃ αὐτόν· ἀλλ᾿ εἴ τι δύνασαι,

βοήθησον ἡμῖν σπλαγχνισθεὶς ἐφ᾿ ἡμᾶς. ὁ δὲ

᾿Ιησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῷ τὸ εἰ δύνασαι πιστεῦσαι, πάντα

δυνατὰ τῷ πιστεύοντι. καὶ εὐθέως κράξας ὁ πατὴρ

τοῦ παιδίου μετὰ δακρύων ἔλεγε· πιστεύω, κύριε·

βοήθει μου τῇ ἀπιστίᾳ. ἰδὼν δὲ ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς ὅτι

ἐπισυντρέχει ὄχλος, ἐπετίμησε τῷ πνεύματι τῷ

ἀκαθάρτῳ λέγων αὐτῷ· τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἄλαλον καὶ

κωφόν, ἐγώ σοι ἐπιτάσσω, ἔξελθε ἐξ αὐτοῦ καὶ

μηκέτι εἰσέλθῃς εἰς αὐτόν. καὶ κράξαν καὶ πολλὰ

σπαράξαν αὐτὸν ἐξῆλθε, καὶ ἐγένετο ὡσεὶ νεκρός,

ὥστε πολλοὺς λέγειν ὅτι ἀπέθανεν. ὁ δὲ ᾿Ιησοῦς

κρατήσας αὐτὸν τῆς χειρὸς ἤγειρεν αὐτόν, καὶ

ἀνέστη. Καὶ εἰσελθόντα αὐτὸν εἰς οἶκον οἱ μαθηταὶ

αὐτοῦ ἐπηρώτων αὐτὸν κατ᾿ ἰδίαν, ὅτι ἡμεῖς οὐκ

ἠδυνήθημεν ἐκβαλεῖν αὐτό. καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· τοῦτο

τὸ γένος ἐν οὐδενὶ δύναται ἐξελθεῖν εἰ μὴ ἐν

προσευχῇ καὶ νηστείᾳ. Καὶ ἐκεῖθεν ἐξελθόντες

παρεπορεύοντο διὰ τῆς Γαλιλαίας, καὶ οὐκ ἤθελεν

ἵνα τις γνῷ· ἐδίδασκε γὰρ τοὺς μαθητὰς αὐτοῦ καὶ

ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς ὅτι ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου παραδίδοται

εἰς χεῖρας ἀνθρώπων, καὶ ἀποκτενοῦσιν αὐτόν, καὶ

ἀποκτανθεὶς τῇ τρίτῃ ἡμέρᾳ ἀναστήσεται
