WORSHIP
Tenth GospelTone - First
We are so very glad you have joined us today and we pray you will be inspired
and encouraged by your time with us
The Orthodox worship service is an ancient and timeless expression of how
people have loved served and worshipped God for many centuries but it may be a bit of
a different experience for you Please feel free to use a service book or not and simply
allow the words of the service to wash over you
The central act of our worship culminates in people receiving communion
This is a very special time for us all and we have some specific beliefs about our com-
munion together This is why we never impose this service on those who are not pre-
pared or are not baptized Orthodox This service may raise questions in your mind
Please feel free to ask Fr Barnabas or Fr Paul anything you wish after the service
At the end of the service EVERYONE is invited to come forward and receive a
portion of the ldquoblessed breadrdquo from Fr Barnabas No one should leave church
ldquohungryrdquo
Know you are welcome and we are glad you are here
May God bless you and your family

Second Letter to Timothy 310-15
The Reading is from St Paulrsquos First Letter
to the Corinthians 49-16
BRETHREN God has exhibited us apostles as last of all like men sen-
tenced to death because we have become a spectacle to the world to
angels and to men We are fools for Christs sake but you are wise in
Christ We are weak but you are strong You are held in honor but
we in disrepute To the present hour we hunger and thirst we are ill-
clad and buffeted and homeless and we labor working with our own
hands When reviled we bless when persecuted we endure when
slandered we try to conciliate we have become and are now as the
refuse of the world the off-scouring of all things I do not write this to
make you ashamed but to admonish you as my beloved children For
though you have countless guides in Christ you do not have many fa-
thers For I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel I
urge you then be imitators of me

Gospel Reading
The Reading is from Matthew 1714-23
At that time a man came up to Him and kneeling before Him said Lord have
mercy on my son for he is an epileptic and he suffers terribly for often he falls
into the fire and often into the water And I brought him to Your disciples and
they could not heal him And Jesus answered O faithless and perverse gener-
ation how long am I to be with you How long am I to bear with you Bring him
here to me And Jesus rebuked him and the demon came out of him and the
boy was cured instantly Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said
Why could we not cast it out He said to them Because of your little faith
For truly I say to you if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed you will say
to this mountain Move hence to yonder place and it will move and nothing
will be impossible to you But this kind never comes out except by prayer and
fasting As they were gathering in Galilee Jesus said to them The Son of man
is to be delivered into the hands of men and they will kill Him and He will be
raised on the third day

TODAY WE REMEMBER
Tenth Sunday of Matthew Resurrectional Apolytikion in the First Tone The stone had been se-cured with a seal by the Judeans and a guard of soldiers was watching Your immaculate body You rose on the third day O Lord and Savior granting life unto the world For this reason were the powers of heaven crying out to You O Life-giver Glory to Your resurrection O Christ glo-ry to Your eternal rule glory to Your dispensation only One who loves mankind Seasonal Kontakion in the Grave Tone You were transfigured upon the mount O Christ our God and Your disciples in so far as they could bear beheld Your glory Thus when they see You crucified they may under-stand Your voluntary passion and proclaim to the world that You are truly the effulgence of the Father Resurrectional Kontakion in the First Tone As God Thou didst arise from the tomb in glory and Thou didst raise the world together with Thy-self And mortal nature praised Thee as God and death was obliterated And Adam danceth for joy O Master and Eve now freed from her fetters rejoiceth as she crieth out Thou O Christ dost grant resurrection unto all
We Also Remember The Holy Martyrs Photius amp Anicetus of Nicomedia
Soldier-martyrs of Crete

Epistle Reading
The Reading is from St Pauls
Second Letter to Timothy 310-15
The Reading is from St Paulrsquos First Letter
to the Corinthians 49-16
BRETHREN God has exhibited us apostles as last of all like men sen-
tenced to death because we have become a spectacle to the world to
angels and to men We are fools for Christs sake but you are wise in
Christ We are weak but you are strong You are held in honor but
we in disrepute To the present hour we hunger and thirst we are ill-
clad and buffeted and homeless and we labor working with our own
hands When reviled we bless when persecuted we endure when
slandered we try to conciliate we have become and are now as the
refuse of the world the off-scouring of all things I do not write this to
make you ashamed but to admonish you as my beloved children For
though you have countless guides in Christ you do not have many fa-
thers For I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel I
urge you then be imitators of me

Gospel Reading
The Reading is from Matthew 1714-23
At that time a man came up to Him and kneeling before Him said Lord have
mercy on my son for he is an epileptic and he suffers terribly for often he falls
into the fire and often into the water And I brought him to Your disciples and
they could not heal him And Jesus answered O faithless and perverse gener-
ation how long am I to be with you How long am I to bear with you Bring him
here to me And Jesus rebuked him and the demon came out of him and the
boy was cured instantly Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said
Why could we not cast it out He said to them Because of your little faith
For truly I say to you if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed you will say
to this mountain Move hence to yonder place and it will move and nothing
will be impossible to you But this kind never comes out except by prayer and
fasting As they were gathering in Galilee Jesus said to them The Son of man
is to be delivered into the hands of men and they will kill Him and He will be
raised on the third day

Epistle Reading
The Reading is from St Pauls
Second Letter to Timothy 310-15
The Reading is from St Paulrsquos First Letter
to the Corinthians 49-16
BRETHREN God has exhibited us apostles as last of all like men sen-
tenced to death because we have become a spectacle to the world to
angels and to men We are fools for Christs sake but you are wise in
Christ We are weak but you are strong You are held in honor but
we in disrepute To the present hour we hunger and thirst we are ill-
clad and buffeted and homeless and we labor working with our own
hands When reviled we bless when persecuted we endure when
slandered we try to conciliate we have become and are now as the
refuse of the world the off-scouring of all things I do not write this to
make you ashamed but to admonish you as my beloved children For
though you have countless guides in Christ you do not have many fa-
thers For I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel I
urge you then be imitators of me

Gospel Reading
The Reading is from Matthew 1714-23
At that time a man came up to Him and kneeling before Him said Lord have
mercy on my son for he is an epileptic and he suffers terribly for often he falls
into the fire and often into the water And I brought him to Your disciples and
they could not heal him And Jesus answered O faithless and perverse gener-
ation how long am I to be with you How long am I to bear with you Bring him
here to me And Jesus rebuked him and the demon came out of him and the
boy was cured instantly Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said
Why could we not cast it out He said to them Because of your little faith
For truly I say to you if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed you will say
to this mountain Move hence to yonder place and it will move and nothing
will be impossible to you But this kind never comes out except by prayer and
fasting As they were gathering in Galilee Jesus said to them The Son of man
is to be delivered into the hands of men and they will kill Him and He will be
raised on the third day
Α Ω
Τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ ἐλθόντων αὐτῶν πρὸς τὸν ὄχλον προσῆλθεν αὐτῷ
ἄνθρωπος γονυπετῶν αὐτὸν καὶ λέγων Κύριε ἐλέησόν μου τὸν υἱόν
ὅτι σεληνιάζεται καὶ κακῶς πάσχει πολλάκις γὰρ πίπτει εἰς τὸ πῦρ
καὶ πολλάκις εἰς τὸ ὕδωρ καὶ προσήνεγκα αὐτὸν τοῖς μαθηταῖς σου
καὶ οὐκ ἠδυνήθησαν αὐτὸν θεραπεῦσαι ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς
εἶπεν ὦ γενεὰ ἄπιστος καὶ διεστραμμένη ἕως πότε ἔσομαι μεθ᾿ ὑμῶν
ἕως πότε ἀνέξομαι ὑμῶν φέρετέ μοι αὐτὸν ὧδε καὶ ἐπετίμησεν αὐτῷ
ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἀπ᾿ αὐτοῦ τὸ δαιμόνιον καὶ ἐθεραπεύθη ὁ παῖς
ἀπὸ τῆς ὥρας ἐκείνης Τότε προσελθόντες οἱ μαθηταὶ τῷ ᾿Ιησοῦ κατ᾿
ἰδίαν εἶπον διατί ἡμεῖς οὐκ ἠδυνήθημεν ἐκβαλεῖν αὐτό ὁ δὲ ᾿Ιησοῦς
εἶπεν αὐτοῖς διὰ τὴν ἀπιστίαν ὑμῶν ἀμὴν γὰρ λέγω ὑμῖν ἐὰν ἔχητε
πίστιν ὡς κόκκον σινάπεως ἐρεῖτε τῷ ὄρει τούτῳ μετάβηθι ἐντεῦθεν
ἐκεῖ καὶ μεταβήσεται καὶ οὐδὲν ἀδυνατήσει ὑμῖν τοῦτο δὲ τὸ γένος
οὐκ ἐκπορεύεται εἰ μὴ ἐν προσευχῇ καὶ νηστείᾳ ᾿Αναστρεφομένων δὲ
αὐτῶν εἰς τὴν Γαλιλαίαν εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς μέλλει ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ
ἀνθρώπου παραδίδοσθαι εἰς χεῖρας ἀνθρώπων καὶ ἀποκτενοῦσιν
αὐτόν καὶ τῇ τρίτῃ ἡμέρᾳ ἐγερθήσεται καὶ ἐλυπήθησαν σφόδρα
