St. Sophia s Greek Orthodox Church Syracuse, New York July 5, 2015 The 5 th Sunday of Matthew Resurrectional Apolytikion in Fourth Tone Having learned the joyful proclamation of the Resurrection from the Angel, and having cast off the ancestral condemnation, the women disciples of the Lord spake to the Apostles exultantly: Death is despoiled and Christ God is risen, granting great mercy to the world. Τὸ θαηδξὸν τῆσ Ἀναςτάςεωσ κήρυγμα, ἐκ τοῦ Ἀγγέλου μαθοῦςαι αἱ ηνῦ Κπξίου Μαθήτριαι, καὶ ηὴν προγονικὴν ἀπόφαςιν ἀπορρίψαςαι, τοῖσ Ἀποςτόλοισ καυχώμεναι ἔλεγον Ἐςκύλευται ὁ ζάνατοσ, ἠγέρθη Χριςτὸσ ὁ Θεόσ, δωρούμενοσ τῷ θόςμῳ ηὸ κέγα ἔλεοσ. Apolytikion for Athanasius of Athos in the Third Mode The Angels' ranks were awed by thy life in the flesh, how, though corporeal, and clad with earthly clay, thou didst set forth with courage to invisible wars and wrestlings and didst boldly smite the hordes of the demons with mortal wounds. Wherefore, Christ rewarded thee with abundant gifts in return. Entreat Him that our souls find salvation, O most renowned Father Athanasius. Τήλ ελ ζαξθί δσήλ, ζνύ θαηεπιάγεζαλ, Αγγέισλ ηάγκαηα, πώο κεηά ζώκαηνο, πξόο ανξάηνπο ζπκπινθάο, ερώξεζαο παλεύθεκε, θαί θαηεηξαπκάηηζαο, ηώλ δαηκόλσλ, ηάο θάιαγγαο, όζελ Αζαλάζηε, ν Χξηζηόο ζέ εκείςαην, πινπζίαηο δσξεαίο, Δηό Πάηεξ, πξέζβεπε Χξηζηώ ηώ Θεώ, ζσζήλαη ηάο ςπράο εκώλ. Apolytikion for the Church Like a most fruitful olive tree you did blossom forth in the folds of the Lord, Sophia, martyr most pious! And to Christ you did bring sweetest fruit: the tender sprouts of your womb, through divine martyrdom, Agape, along with Hope and Faith. The God-minded with whom do you pray to God for all of us. Seasonal Kontakion in the Second Mode O Protection of Christians that cannot be put to shame, mediation unto the creator most constant: O despise not the voices of those who have sinned; but be quick, O good one, to come unto our aid, who in faith cry unto thee: Hasten to intercession and speed thou to make supplication, O thou who dost ever protect, O Theotokos, them that honor thee. Πξνζηαζία ηῶλ Χξηζηηαλῶλ ἀθαηαίζρπληε, κεζηηεία πξὸο ηὸλ Πνηεηὴλ ἀκεηάζεηε. Μὴ παξίδῃο ἁκαξησιῶλ δεήζεσλ θσλάο, ἀιιὰ πξόθζαζνλ, ὡο ἀγαζή, εἰο ηὴλ βνήζεηαλ ἡκῶλ, ηῶλ πηζηῶο θξαπγαδόλησλ ζνη Τάρπλνλ εἰο πξεζβείαλ, θαὶ ζπεῦζνλ εἰο ἱθεζίαλ, ἡ πξνζηαηεύνπζα ἀεί, Θενηόθε, ηῶλ ηηκώλησλ ζε.
Epistle Reading The Reading is from St. Paul's Letter to the Galatians 5:22-26; 6:1-2 Brethren, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. Let us have no self-conceit, no provoking of one another, no envy of one another. Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Look to yourself, lest you too be tempted. Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. Πρὸς Γαλάτας 5:22-26, 6:1-2 Ἀδειθνί, ὁ θαξπὸο ηνῦ πλεύκαηόο ἐζηηλ ἀγάπε, ραξά, εἰξήλε, καθξνζπκία, ρξεζηόηεο, ἀγαζσζύλε, πίζηηο, πξᾳόηεο, ἐγθξάηεηα θαηὰ ηῶλ ηνηνύησλ νὐθ ἔζηηλ λόκνο. Οἱ δὲ ηνῦ Χξηζηνῦ, ηὴλ ζάξθα ἐζηαύξσζαλ ζὺλ ηνῖο παζήκαζηλ θαὶ ηαῖο ἐπηζπκίαηο. Εἰ δῶκελ πλεύκαηη, πλεύκαηη θαὶ ζηνηρῶκελ. Μὴ γηλώκεζα θελόδνμνη, ἀιιήινπο πξνθαινύκελνη, ἀιιήινηο θζνλνῦληεο. Ἀδειθνί, ἐὰλ θαὶ πξνιεθζῇ ἄλζξσπνο ἔλ ηηλη παξαπηώκαηη, ὑκεῖο νἱ πλεπκαηηθνὶ θαηαξηίδεηε ηὸλ ηνηνῦηνλ ἐλ πλεύκαηη πξᾳόηεηνο, ζθνπῶλ ζεαπηόλ κὴ θαὶ ζὺ πεηξαζζῇο. Ἀιιήισλ ηὰ βάξε βαζηάδεηε, θαὶ νὕησο ἀλαπιεξώζαηε ηὸλ λόκνλ ηνῦ Χξηζηνῦ.
Gospel Reading The Reading is from Matthew 8:28-34; 9:1 At that time, when Jesus came to the other side, to the country of the Gergesenes, two demoniacs met him, coming out of the tombs, so fierce that no one would pass that way. And behold, they cried out, "What have you to do with us, O Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?" Now a herd of many swine was feeding at some distance from them. And the demons begged him, "If you cast us out, send us away into the herd of swine." And he said to them, "Go." So they came out and went into the swine; and behold, the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea, and perished in the waters. The herdsmen fled, and going into the city they told everything, and what had happened to the demoniacs. And behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus; and when they saw him, they begged him to leave their neighborhood. And getting into a boat he crossed over and came to his own city. Καηὰ Μαηζαῖον 8.28-34, 9.1 Τῷ θαηξῷ ἐκείνῳ, ἐλθόντοσ τῷ Ἰηςοῦ εἰσ τὸ πέραν εἰσ τὴν ρώραν τῶν Γεργεςηνῶν ὑπήντηςαν αὐτῷ δύο δαηκνληδόμενοι ἐκ τῶν κλεκείων ἐξερχόμενοι, ραιεπνὶ ιίαν, ὥςτε κὴ ἰςχύειν ηηλὰ παξειζεῖν διὰ ηῆσ ὁδοῦ ἐκείνησ.καὶ ἰδοὺ ἔκραξαν ιέγοντεσ τί ἡμῖν καὶ ζνί, Ιηςοῦ πἱὲ ηνῦ Θενῦ; ἦλθεσ ὧδε πρὸ θαηξνῦ βαζαλίςαι ἡμᾶσ;ἦν δὲ καθξὰν ἀπ αὐτῶν ἀγέλη ρνίρων πολλῶν βοςκομένη.οἱ δὲ δαίμονεσ παξεθάλουν αὐτὸν ιέγοντεσ εἰ ἐκβάλλεισ ἡμᾶσ, ἐπίτρεψον ἡμῖν ἀπελθεῖν εἰσ τὴν ἀγέλην τῶν χοίρων.καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖσ ὑπάγετε. νἱ δὲ ἐξελθόντεσ ἀπῆλθον εἰσ τὴν ἀγέλην τῶν χοίρων θαὶ ἰδοὺ ὥρμηςε πᾶςα ἡ ἀγέλη τῶν ρνίρων κατὰ ηνῦ θξεκλνῦ εἰσ τὴν ζάλαςςαν καὶ ἀπέθανον ἐν τοῖσ ὕδαςιν.οἱ δὲ βόςκοντεσ ἔφυγον, καὶ ἀπελθόντεσ εἰσ ηὴν πόλιν ἀπήγγειλαν πάντα καὶ ηὰ ηῶν δαιμονιζομένων.καὶ ἰδοὺ πᾶςα ἡ πόλισ ἐξῆλθεν εἰσ ςυνάντηςιν τῷ Ιηςοῦ, καὶ ἰδόντεσ αὐτὸν παρεκάλεςαν ὅπωσ κεηαβῇ ἀπὸ ηῶν ὁρίων αὐτῶν. Καὶ ἐμβὰσ εἰσ πινῖον διεπέραςε καὶ ἦλθεν εἰσ τὴν ἰδίαν πόλιν.
