2 ΚΑΘΕΔΡΙΚΟΣ ΝΑΟΣ ΝΕΑΣ ΑΓΓΛΙΑΣ ΕΥΑΓΓΕΛΙΣΜΟΣ ΤΗΣ ΘΕΟΤΟΚΟΥ ANNUNCIATION GREEK ORTHODOX CATHEDRAL OF NEW ENGLAND Rev. Fr. Demetrios E. Tonias, Ph.D., Cathedral Dean κη Αὐγούστου,βις Ι ΜΑΤΘΑΙΟΥ 10th Sunday of Matthew 28 August 2016 Ἀπολυτίκια Ἦχος α Τοῦ λίθου σφραγισθέντος ὑπὸ τῶν Ἰουδαίων, καὶ στρατιωτῶν φυλασσόντων τὸ ἄχραντόν σου Σῶμα, ἀνέστης τριήμερος Σωτήρ, δωρούμενος τῷ κόσμῳ τὴν ζωήν διὰ τοῦτο αἱ Δυνάμεις τῶν οὐρανῶν ἐβόων σοι ζωοδότα. Δόξα τῇ Ἀναστάσει σου Χριστέ, δόξα τῇ βασιλείᾳ σου, δόξα τῇ οἰκονομίᾳ σου, μόνε φιλάνθρωπε. Ἦχος δ Σήμερον τῆς σωτηρίας ἡμῶν τὸ κεφάλαιον, καὶ τοῦ ἀπ αἰῶνος μυστηρίου ἡ φανέρωσις ὁ Υἷός του Θεοῦ, υἱὸς τῆς Παρθένου γίνεται, καὶ Γαβριὴλ τὴν χάριν εὐαγγελίζεται. Διὸ καὶ ἡμεῖς σὺν αὐτῷ, τῇ Θεοτόκῳ βοήσωμεν Χαῖρε Κεχαριτωμένη, ὁ Κύριος μετά σοῦ. Κοντάκιον Ἦχος δʹ. Ἰωακεὶμ καὶ Ἄννα ὀνειδισμοῦ ἀτεκνίας, καὶ Ἀδὰμ καὶ Εὔα, ἐκ τῆς φθορᾶς τοῦ θανάτου, ἠλευθερώθησαν, Ἄχραντε, ἐν τῇ ἁγίᾳ γεννήσει σου αὐτὴν ἑορτάζει καὶ ὁ λαός σου, ἐνοχῆς τῶν πταισμάτων, λυτρωθεὶς ἐν τῷ κράζειν σοι Ἡ στεῖρα τίκτει τὴν Θεοτόκον, καὶ τροφὸν τῆς ζωῆς ἡμῶν. Dismissal Hymns Mode 1 When the stone had been sealed by the Jews, and the soldiers were guarding Your immaculate body, You rose on the third day, O Savior, granting to the world life; and when the powers of heaven, cried out to You O Giver of Life. Glory to Your resurrection O Christ, glory to your Kingdom, glory to Your dispensation, O lover of mankind. 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 4. 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." Whenever the Lord speaks of future disaster, he always teaches its connection with the happiness of redemption, so that when disasters come they do not terrify the believer. St. Jerome

3 Ἀπόστολος Α Κορ. δ Corinithians 4:9-16 Epistle 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, δυσφημούμενοι παρακαλοῦμεν ὡς περικαθάρματα τοῦ κόσμου ἐγενήθημεν, πάντων περίψημα, ἕως ἄρτι. Οὐκ ἐντρέπων ὑμᾶς γράφω ταῦτα, ἀλλ' ὡς τέκνα μου ἀγαπητὰ νουθετῶ. ἐὰν γὰρ μυρίους παιδαγωγοὺς ἔχητε ἐν Χριστῷ, ἀλλ' οὐ πολλοὺς πατέρας ἐν γὰρ Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ διὰ τοῦ Εὐαγγελίου ἐγὼ ὑμᾶς ἐγέννησα. Παρακαλῶ οὖν ὑμᾶς, μιμηταί μου γίνεσθε. Τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ, ἄνθρωπός τις προσῆλθεν τῷ Ἰησοῦ, 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 Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν Ὦ γενεὰ ἄπιστος καὶ διεστραμμένη! ἕως πότε ἔσομαι μεθ' ὑμῶν; ἕως πότε ἀνέξομαι ὑμῶν; φέρετέ μοι αὐτὸν ὧδε. καὶ ἐπετίμησεν αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς, καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἀπ' αὐτοῦ τὸ δαιμόνιον καὶ ἐθεραπεύθη ὁ παῖς ἀπὸ τῆς ὥρας ἐκείνης. Τότε προσελθόντες οἱ μαθηταὶ τῷ Ἰησοῦ κατ' ἰδίαν εἶπον Διατί ἡμεῖς οὐκ ἠδυνήθημεν ἐκβαλεῖν αὐτό; ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Διὰ τὴν ἀπιστίαν ὑμῶν. ἀμὴν 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. Εὐαγγέλιον Ματθ. ιζ Matthew 17:14-23 Gospel 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 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 Continued on next page

4 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. Ἀναστρεφομένων δὲ αὐτῶν εἰς τὴν Γαλιλαίαν εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς Μέλλει ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου παραδίδοσθαι εἰς χεῖρας ἀνθρώπων καὶ ἀποκτενοῦσιν αὐτόν, καὶ τῇ τρίτῃ ἡμέρᾳ ἐγερθήσεται. 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." Ὁ Ὅσιος Μωϋσῆς ὁ Αἰθίοπας Ὁ Ὅσιος Μωυσῆς ἔζησε στὴν Αἴγυπτο καὶ στὴν ἀρχὴ ἦταν ληστής. Ἀ ὰ τὸ φῶς τῆς γνώσης καὶ τῆς μετανοίας δὲν ἄργησε νὰ φωτίσει τὸν δρόμο του. Ἡ μεγά η ἐπιείκεια ποὺ ἔδειξε πρὸς αὐτὸν κάποιος χριστιανός, ἐνῶ αὐτὸς τὸν εἶχε β άψει, ἐπέφερε στὸν Μωυσῆ ψυχικὴ ἀνακαίνιση. Πίστεψε, ἔγινε χριστιανὸς καὶ κατόπιν μοναχός. Ἀγωνίστηκε σκληρὰ μέσα στὴν ἔρημο καὶ ἀπέκτησε μεγά η πνευματικὴ σύνεση καὶ ἀρετή. Ἡ φήμη του ἔφερνε στὸ ἐρημητήριό του πο οὺς χριστιανούς, ποὺ ἄκουγαν μὲ δέος τὴ διδασκαλία του κατὰ τῆς ὑπερηφάνειας καὶ τῆς κατάκρισης. «Εἶμαι», ἔ εγε, «ὁ χειρότερος τῶν ἁμαρτωλῶν. Τὰ περασμένα μας ἁμαρτήματα πρέπει νὰ τὰ ἔχουμε πάντα μπροστά μας καὶ νὰ λυπούμαστε γι αὐτά. Αὐτὸ εἶναι ἡ καλύτερη μέθοδος γιὰ νὰ φυλάξουμε τὸν ἑαυτό μας, μὲ τὴν βοήθεια τοῦ Θεοῦ, ἀσφαλή. Ἂν νομίσουμε ὅτι εἴμαστε πνευματικὰ ὄρθιοι, τότε ἀκριβῶς εἶναι ὁ μεγά ος κίνδυνος μήπως πέσουμε. Γιὰ νὰ μὴ φοβόμαστε τὸν Θεό, ὀφεί ουμε νὰ φοβόμαστε πολὺ τὸν ἑαυτό μας, δηλαδὴ τὶς ἀδυναμίες καὶ τὰ πάθη μας». 28 Αυγούστου Μὲ τέτοια ἁγία ζωή, ὁ Μωϋσῆς ἔφθασε στὸ 75ο ἔτος τῆς ἡ ικίας του. Ὥσπου ξαφνικά, εἰδωλολάτρες ληστὲς εἰσέβαλαν στὸ σπή αιό του καὶ τὸν σκότωσαν μὲ μαχαίρια. (Σύμφωνα ὅμως μὲ τὴν Συναξαριακὴ πηγὴ τοῦ Ἅγιου Νικόδημου, ὁ Ἅγιος Μωϋσῆς ἀπεβίωσε εἰρηνικά). Ἀπολυτίκιο. Ἦχος πλ. α. Τῶν παθῶν καταλείψας Πάτερ τὴν Αἴγυπτον, τῶν ἀρετῶν ἐν τῷ ὄρει ἀνῆ θες πίστει θερμῇ, τὸν Σταυρὸν τὸν τοῦ Χριστοῦ ἄρας ἐπ ὤμων σου καὶ δοξασθεὶς περιφανῶς, τύπος ὤφθης Μοναστῶν, Μωσῆ Πατέρων ἀκρότης μεθ ὧν ἀπαύστως δυσώπει, ἐ εηθῆναι τὰς ψυχὰς ἡμῶν. Κοντάκιον. Ἦχος δ. Αἰθιόπων πρόσωπα, ἀπορραπίσας, νοητῶν ἀνέ αμψας, καθάπερ ἥ ιος φαιδρός, φωταγωγῶν τὰς ψυχὰς ἡμῶν, τῶν σὲ τιμώντων, Μωσῆ παμμακάριστε. Μεγαλυνάριον. Ἔργοις διαλάμψας ἀσκητικοῖς, ἐχθρῶν νοουμένων, ἀπημαύρωσας τὴν ἰσχύν, καὶ τῆς ἄνω δόξης ἐδείχθης κληρονόμος, συνὼν τοῖς Ἀσωμάτοις, Μωσῆ μακάριε.

Zedros Ms. Mary Zetes Mr. Peter J. Zetes Mr. & Mrs. Vasileios Zikopoulos St. Moses the Ethiopian Saint Moses, who is also called Moses the Ethiopian, was a slave, but because of his evil life, his master cast him out, and he became a ruthless thief, dissolute in all his ways. Later, however, coming to repentance, he converted, and took up the monastic life under Saint Isidore of Scete. He gave himself over to prayer and the mortification of the carnal mind with such diligence that he later became a priest of exemplary virtue. He was revered by all for his lofty ascetical life and for his great humility. Once the Fathers in Scete asked Moses to come to an assembly to judge the fault of a certain brother, but 28 August he refused. When they insisted, he took a basket which had a hole in it, filled it with sand, and carried it on his shoulders. When the Fathers saw him coming they asked him what the basket might mean. He answered, "My sins run out behind me, and I do not see them, and I am come this day to judge failings which are not mine." When a barbarian tribe was coming to Scete, Moses, conscious that he himself had slain other men when he was a thief, awaited them and was willingly slain by them with six other monks, at the end of the fourth century. He was a contemporary of Saint Arsenius the Great (see May 8).
