  • Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom

    Apolytikion for St. Raphael in the Fourth Tone

    Because of the finding of your holy relics, wise

    one, * the Island of Lesvos has been filled fully

    with the grace, * which God richly gave to you. *

    You, O devout martyr Raphael, paradoxically *

    appeared to many people, and you grant cures

    and healings. * And therefore we the faithful re-

    joice in all your miracles.

    Apolytikion for St. Raphael in the First Tone

    To the offspring of Ithaca, the pride and joy of

    Lesvos, * monastic martyrs’ glory, let us offer to

    Raphael our songs of praise; * for lately he

    appeared, and pours out cures and healings to us

    all. * Inexplicably he appears to believers, both in

    dreams and awake, who cry: * Glory to Christ

    who gave you His might. * Glory to Him who gave

    you miracles. * Glory to Him who through you

    fulfills our prayerful requests.

    Apolytikion in honor of Sts. Raphael, Nicholas &

    Irene

    Having contended on Lesvos for the sake of

    Christ God, you have sanctified the island since

    the discovery of your sacred relics, O blessed

    ones; wherefore we honor you, O Godbearing

    Raphael, together with Nicholas and virgin Irene,

    as our divine protectors and intercessors with the

    Lord.

    Singers and Chanters: Richard Bethune, Tabitha Bethune,

    Anthony Birozes, David Boyd and Lynne Lucher

    Resurrectional Apolytikion in the First Tone

    The stone had been secured 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. * And therefore the powers of

    heaven cried to You, O Giver-of-Life: * Glory to Your

    resurrection, O Christ; * glory to Your kingdom; * glory to

    Your dispensation, only One who loves mankind.

    Apolytikion for the Apostles in the Third Tone

    O holy Apostles, make intercession to our merciful God,

    that He grant our souls forgiveness of offenses.

    Seasonal Kontakion in the Plagal of the Fourth Tone

    Both Joachim and Anna from their sterility's stigma, and

    Adam and Eve from their mortality's ruin have been set free,

    O immaculate Maid, by your holy nativity. For this do your

    people hold celebration, redeemed from the guilt of

    transgression as they cry to you, "The barren one bears the

    Theotokos, the nourisher of our Life."

    .

    Tenth Sunday of Matthew

    On this day we also commemorate:

    Return of the Body of Bartholomew the Glorious Apostle;

    Titus the Apostle of the 70;

    John the Cappadocian, Epiphanius and Menas, Patriarchs of

    Constantinople

  • EPISTLE READING

    Prokeimenon. Mode 1.

    Psalm 32.22,1

    Let your mercy, O Lord, be upon us.

    Verse: Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous.

    The reading is from St. Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians 4:9-16

    Brethren, God has exhibited us apostles as last of all, like men sentenced to death;

    because we have become a spectacle to the world, to angels and to men. We are fools for

    Christ's 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 fathers. For I became your

    father in Christ Jesus through the gospel. I urge you, then, be imitators of me.

    Προκείμενον. Ήχος α'.

    ΨΑΛΜΟΙ 32.22,1

    Γένοιτο, Κύριε, τὸ ἔλεός σου ἐφ' ἡμᾶς.

    Στίχ. Ἀγαλλιᾶσθε δίκαιοι ἐν Κυρίῳ

    Πρὸς Κορινθίους α' 4:9-16 τὸ ἀνάγνωσμα

    Ἀδελφοί, ὁ θεὸς ἡμᾶς τοὺς ἀποστόλους ἐσχάτους ἀπέδειξεν ὡς ἐπιθανατίους· ὅτι

    θέατρον ἐγενήθημεν τῷ κόσμῳ, καὶ ἀγγέλοις, καὶ ἀνθρώποις. Ἡμεῖς μωροὶ διὰ Χριστόν,

    ὑμεῖς δὲ φρόνιμοι ἐν Χριστῷ· ἡμεῖς ἀσθενεῖς, ὑμεῖς δὲ ἰσχυροί· ὑμεῖς ἔνδοξοι, ἡμεῖς δὲ

    ἄτιμοι. Ἄχρι τῆς ἄρτι ὥρας καὶ πεινῶμεν, καὶ διψῶμεν, καὶ γυμνητεύομεν, καὶ

    κολαφιζόμεθα, καὶ ἀστατοῦμεν, καὶ κοπιῶμεν ἐργαζόμενοι ταῖς ἰδίαις χερσίν·

    λοιδορούμενοι εὐλογοῦμεν· διωκόμενοι ἀνεχόμεθα· βλασφημούμενοι παρακαλοῦμεν· ὡς

    περικαθάρματα τοῦ κόσμου ἐγενήθημεν, πάντων περίψημα ἕως ἄρτι. Οὐκ ἐντρέπων ὑμᾶς

    γράφω ταῦτα, ἀλλʼ ὡς τέκνα μου ἀγαπητὰ νουθετῶ. Ἐὰν γὰρ μυρίους παιδαγωγοὺς ἔχητε

    ἐν Χριστῷ, ἀλλʼ οὐ πολλοὺς πατέρας· ἐν γὰρ Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ διὰ τοῦ εὐαγγελίου ἐγὼ

    ὑμᾶς ἐγέννησα. Παρακαλῶ οὖν ὑμᾶς, μιμηταί μου γίνεσθε.

  • THE GOSPEL READING

    The Gospel According to Matthew 17:14-23

    At that time, a man came up to Jesus 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 generation, 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."

    .

    Ἐκ τοῦ Κατὰ Ματθαῖον 17:14-23 Εὐαγγελίου τὸ Ἀνάγνωσμα

    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..

  • PRAYERS BEFORE HOLY COMMUNION

    I believe and confess, Lord, that You are truly the Christ,

    the Son of the living God, Who came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the

    first. I also believe that this is truly Your pure Body and that this is truly Your precious

    Blood. Therefore, I pray to You, have mercy upon me, and forgive my transgressions,

    voluntary and involuntary, in word and deed, in knowledge or in ignorance. And make

    me worthy, without condemnation, to partake of Your pure Mysteries for the remission of

    sins and for eternal life. Amen.

    How shall I, who am unworthy, enter into the splendor of Your saints? If I should dare to

    enter into the bridal chamber, my vesture will condemn me, since it is not a wedding

    garment; and being bound up, I shall be cast out by the angels. Cleanse, O Lord, the filth

    of my soul, and save me, as You are the one Who loves mankind. In Your love, Lord,

    cleanse my soul, and save me.

    Master Who loves mankind, Lord Jesus Christ, my God, let not these Holy Gifts be to my

    judgment because I am unworthy, but rather for the purification and sanctification of both

    soul and body and the pledge of the life and Kingdom to come. It is good for me to cleave

    unto God and to place in Him the hope of my salvation.

    O Son of God, receive me today as a partaker of Your mystical supper. For I will not

    speak of the mystery to Your enemies, nor will I give You a kiss, as did Judas. But like

    the thief, I confess to You: Remember me, Lord, in Your Kingdom.

    ORTHODOX YOUNG ADULT CONFERENCE in Atlanta: Christ teaches us

    to live a life devoted to others, but our modern culture insists on the importance of self-

    care and celebrates hedonism. How do we live in the world but not of the world? When

    faced with the messy reality of relationships, mental health, career choices, church

    involvement, growth and happiness, how do we apply the paradoxical truths at the heart

    of our Orthodox faith? At this year's conference we'll dig into the mystery of faithfulness

    as we build deeper relationships with Christ, his Church and other Orthodox Christian

    young professionals.

    Are you between the ages of 21-39? Are you looking for opportunities to develop

    deeper connections with Christ, his Church and other Orthodox Christian young

    professionals? On October 4 – 6 the CONNECT conference will be held in Atlanta at

    the Renaissance Atlanta Waverly near SunTrust Park, home of the Atlanta Braves. As in

    previous years, they will have a discounted block of rooms. Once you register you'll get a

    link to secure a discounted room in the Connect 2019 block! Finally, you can share the

    referral code RC0001 to any young adults who wish to register. It will give them $30 off

    the regular registration, but will expire at the end of the month.
