RESURRECTIONAL APOLYTIKION IN TONE THREE Let the heavens rejoice and the earth be glad, for the Lord hath done a mighty act with His own arm. He hath trampled down death by death, and become the first-born from the dead. He hath delivered us from the depths of Hades, granting the world

the Great Mercy.

. APOLYTIKION OF ST. GEORGE As deliverer of captives and defender of the poor, healer of the infirm, champion of kings,

victorious Great Martyr George, intercede with Christ our God, for our soul’s salvation.

KONTAKION FOR SUNDAY OF LAST JUDGMENT IN TONE ONE (CHANT) (CHORAL) When Thou comest, O God, to earth with glory, and all creatures tremble before Thee, and the river of fire floweth before the

Altar, and the books are opened and sins revealed, deliver me then from that unquenchable fire, and make me worthy to stand at Thy right hand, O righteous Judge.

Welcome Visitors!

We are genuinely pleased to have you with us today. We must remind you that while the Orthodox Church prays for the unity of all the churches, we do not practice “open communion.” Only Orthodox Christians who have prepared themselves with fasting and regular confession should approach the chalice. For questions, please contact Fr. Joshua Makoul. Blessings, thank you!

Please silence your cell phones when entering the church. Thank you.

TODAY’S EPISTLE

(For Sunday of the Last Judgment)

The Lord is my strength and my praise. The Lord chastising hath chastised me, but He hath not

delivered me over to death.

The Reading from the First Epistle of

St. Paul to the Corinthians. (8:8-9:2)

Brethren, food will not commend us to God. We are no worse off if

we do not eat, and no better off if we do. Only take care, lest this

liberty of yours somehow become a stumbling block to the weak. For

if any one sees you—a man of knowledge—at table in an idol’s

temple, might he not be encouraged, if his conscience is weak, to eat

food offered to idols? And so by your knowledge this weak man is

destroyed, the brother for whom Christ died. Thus, sinning against

your brethren and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin

against Christ. Therefore, if food is a cause of my brother’s falling, I

will never eat meat, lest I cause my brother to fall. Am I not free? Am

I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are not you my

workmanship in the Lord? If to others I am not an apostle, at least I

am to you; for you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.

TODAY’S GOSPEL

(For Sunday of the Last Judgment)

The Reading from the Holy Gospel according to

St. Matthew. (25:31-46)

The Lord said, “When the Son of man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him,

then He will sit on His glorious throne. Before Him will be gathered all the nations, and

He will separate them one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats,

and He will place the sheep at His right hand, but the goats at the left. Then the King will

say to those at His right hand, ‘Come, O blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom

prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave Me

food, I was thirsty and you gave Me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed Me, I was

naked and you clothed Me, I was sick and you visited Me, I was in prison and you came

to Me.’ Then the righteous will answer Him, ‘Lord, when did we see Thee hungry and

feed Thee, or thirsty and give Thee drink? And when did we see Thee a stranger and

welcome Thee, or naked and clothe Thee? And when did we see Thee sick or in prison

and visit Thee?’ And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one

of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’ Then He will say to those at his left

hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his

angels; for I was hungry and you gave Me no food, I was thirsty and you gave Me no

drink, I was a stranger and you did not welcome Me, naked and you did not clothe Me,

sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’ Then they also will answer, ‘Lord, when did

we see Thee hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not

minister to Thee?’ Then He will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it not to one

of the least of these, you did it not to Me.’ And they will go away into eternal punishment,

but the righteous into eternal life.”
