Mode 4 Today mark s the crow ning of our salvation and the revelation of the mystery before all ages. For the Son of God becomes the son of the Virgin, and Gabriel proclaims the grace. Wherefore, we also cry out with him, "Hail, O full of grace, the Lord is with you. Kontakion Mode 2. O Protection of Christians unshamable, mediation with the Creator immovable, we sinners beg you, do not despise the voices of our prayers, but anticipate, since you are good, and swiftly come unto our aid as we cry out to you with faith: Hurry to intercession, and hasten to supplication, O Theotokos who defend now and ever those who honor you.

3 Ἀπόστολος Β Κορ. ς Corinithians 6:1-10 Epistle Ἀδελφοί, συνεργοῦντες παρακαλοῦμεν, μὴ εἰς κενὸν τὴν χάριν τοῦ Θεοῦ δέξασθαι ὑμᾶς. Λέγει γάρ Καιρῷ δεκτῷ ἐπήκουσά σου καὶ ἐν ἡμέρᾳ σωτηρίας ἐβοήθησά σοι ἰδοὺ νῦν καιρὸς εὐπρόσδεκτος ἰδοὺ νῦν ἡμέρα σωτηρίας. Μηδεμίαν ἐν μηδενὶ διδόντες προσκοπήν, ἵνα μὴ μωμηθῇ ἡ διακονία, ἀλλ' ἐν παντὶ συνιστῶντες ἑαυτοὺς ὡς Θεοῦ διάκονοι, ἐν ὑπομονῇ πολλῇ, ἐν θλίψεσιν, ἐν ἀνάγκαις, ἐν στενοχωρίαις, ἐν πληγαῖς, ἐν φυλακαῖς, ἐν ἀκαταστασίαις, ἐν κόποις, ἐν ἀγρυπνίαις, ἐν νηστείαις, ἐν ἁγνότητι, ἐν γνώσει, ἐν μακροθυμίᾳ, ἐν χρηστότητι, ἐν Πνεύματι ἁγίῳ, ἐν ἀγάπῃ ἀνυποκρίτῳ, ἐν λόγῳ ἀληθείας, ἐν δυνάμει Θεοῦ διὰ τῶν ὅπλων τῆς δικαιοσύνης τῶν δεξιῶν καὶ ἀριστερῶν, διὰ δόξης καὶ ἀτιμίας, διὰ δυσφημίας καὶ εὐφημίας ὡς πλάνοι καὶ ἀληθεῖς, ὡς ἀγνοούμενοι καὶ ἐπιγινωσκόμενοι, ὡς ἀποθνῄσκοντες καὶ ἰδοὺ ζῶμεν, ὡς παιδευόμενοι καὶ μὴ θανατούμενοι, ὡς λυπούμενοι ἀεὶ δὲ χαίροντες, ὡς πτωχοὶ πολλοὺς δὲ πλουτίζοντες, ὡς μηδὲν ἔχοντες καὶ πάντα κατέχοντες. Brethren, working together with him, then, we entreat you not to accept the grace of God in vain. For he says, "At the acceptable time I have listened to you, and helped you on the day of salvation." Behold, now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation. We put no obstacle in any one's way, so that no fault may be found with our ministry, but as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: through great endurance, in afflictions, hardships, calamities, beatings, imprisonments, tumults, labors, watching, hunger; by purity, knowledge, forbearance, kindness, the Holy Spirit, genuine love, truthful speech, and the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and for the left; in honor and dishonor, in ill repute and good repute. We are treated as impostors, and yet are true; as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold we live; as punished, and yet not killed; as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing everything. Εὐαγγέλιον Λουκ. ζ Luke 7:11-16 Gospel Τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ, ἐπορεύετο ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἰς πόλιν καλουμένην Ναΐν καὶ συνεπορεύοντο αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ ἱκανοὶ καὶ ὄχλος πολύς. ὡς δὲ ἤγγισε τῇ πύλῃ τῆς πόλεως, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐξεκομίζετο τεθνηκὼς υἱὸς μονογενὴς τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ αὕτη ἦν χήρα, καὶ ὄχλος τῆς πόλεως ἱκανὸς ἦν σὺν αὐτῇ. καὶ ἰδὼν αὐτὴν ὁ Κύριος ἐσπλαγχνίσθη ἐπ' αὐτῇ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ Μὴ κλαῖε καὶ προσελθὼν ἥψατο τῆς σοροῦ, οἱ δὲ βαστάζοντες ἔστησαν, καὶ εἶπε Νεανίσκε, σοὶ λέγω, ἐγέρθητι. καὶ ἀνεκάθισεν ὁ νεκρὸς καὶ ἤρξατο λαλεῖν, καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὸν τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ. ἔλαβε δὲ At that time, Jesus went to a city called Nain, and his disciples and a great crowd went with him. As he drew near to the gate of the city, behold, a man who had died was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and a large crowd from the city was with her. And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her and said to her, "Do not weep." And he came and touched the bier, and the bearers stood still. And he said, "Young man, I say to you, arise." And the dead man sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother. Continued on next page

4 φόβος πάντας, καὶ ἐδόξαζον τὸν Θεὸν, λέγοντες ὅτι Προφήτης μέγας ἠγήγερται ἐν ἡμῖν, καὶ ὅτι ἐπεσκέψατο ὁ Θεὸς τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ. Fear seized them all; and they glorified God, saying, "A great prophet has arisen among us!" and "God has visited his people!" Venerable Andronicus of Egypt with his Wife 9 October Saint Andronicus and his wife Athanasia of Egypt lived in Antioch in the fifth century. St Andronicus was a craftsman who divided his earnings into three portions. One part he gave to the Church, the second to the poor, and the third he used for his family. When the Lord took the son and daughter of Andronicus and Athanasia, the pious couple decided to devote themselves fully to the service of God, helping the poor and the sick. Soon the saintly spouses set out for Alexandria, where Andronicus entered a skete monastery, and Athanasia entered the women s Tabennisiota monastery. After twelve years of ascetic life St Andronicus went to Jerusalem to pray at the holy places. He met a co-pilgrim, St Athanasia, who, foreseeing the difficulties of the journey, had donned men s attire. They did not recognize each other, since long ascetic effort had altered their appearance. When they returned from Jerusalem, both monks settled into a single cell and for many years lived the ascetic life in silence. St Athanasia wrote a note to be read after her death, revealing her secret.. St Andronicus died soon after St Athanasia. Apolytikion. Tone Pl 1. Ye adorned your divinely-wrought robe of chastity with the sublime varied colours of sacred virtues in God, when with one accord ye strove in the ascetic life. Wherefore, your silence on the earth was received equally with the thrice-holy hymn in heaven; O wise Andronicus, pray God, with Athanasia, that we all be saved. Οἱ Ὅσιοι Ἀνδρόνικος καὶ Ἀθανασία ἡ συμβία του 9 Οκτωβρίου Ὑπῆρξαν κατὰ τὸ ἔτος 594 καὶ ἦταν σύζυγοι ἐνάρετοι, ποὺ κατάγονταν ἀπὸ τὴν Ἀντιόχεια τῆς Συρίας. Ἦταν εὔποροι καὶ ζοῦσαν σύμφωνα μὲ τὸ θέ ημα τοῦ Θεοῦ. Ὁ Ἀνδρόνικος ἔκανε τὸ ἐπάγγελμα τοῦ ἀργυραμοιβοῦ στὴν Ἀντιόχεια καὶ ἀπόκτησε ἀπὸ τὸν γάμο αὐτὸ δύο παιδιά, ποὺ ὅμως πέθαναν. Αὐτὸ κατέθ ιβε τοὺς δύο γονεῖς καὶ γιὰ νὰ βροῦν παρηγοριὰ κατέφυγαν γιὰ προσκύνημα στοὺς Ἁγίους Τόπους. Ἀπὸ ἐκεῖ πῆγαν στὴν Αἴγυπτο, ὅπου μὲ κοινὴ ἀπόφαση ἔγιναν μοναχοὶ καὶ μπῆκαν σὲ μοναστῆρι. Ὁ μὲν Ἀνδρόνικος πῆγε στὴ Μονὴ τοῦ ἀββᾶ Δανιή, ἡ δὲ γυναῖκά του Ἀθανασία στὴν γυναικεία Μονὴ τῶν Ταβεννησιωτῶν. Ἐκεῖ, ἀφοῦ ἀσκητικὰ πέρασαν τὸ ὑπό οιπο τῆς ζωῆς τους, ἀπεβίωσαν εἰρηνικά. Ἀπολυτίκιον. Ἦχος πλ. α. Σωφροσύνης τὴν χλαῖναν τὴν θεοΰφαντον, κατεποικί ατε χρόαις τῶν ἱερῶν ἀρετῶν, ὁμοφρόνως ἐν σπουδῇ ἄμφω ἀσκήσαντες ὅθεν ὑμῶν τὴν σιωπήν, ἡ τρισάγιος ᾠδή, ἐδέξατο ἐν ὑψίστοις, Ἀνδρόνικε σὺν τῇ θείᾳ, Ἀθανασίᾳ τῇ θεόφρονι.

He touched, it says, the bier and said, Young man, I say unto thee, arise. How was not a word enough for raising him who was lying there? What is more powerful than the Word of God? Why then did he not work the miracle by only a word but also touched the bier? It was, my beloved, that you might learn that the holy body of Christ is productive for the salvation of man. The flesh of the almighty Word is the body of life and was clothed with his might. The flesh of Christ has the power of giving life and annihilates the influence of death and corruption because it is the flesh of the Word, who gives life to all. St. Cyril of Alexandria
