ΚΥΡΙΑΚΗ 14 ΜΑΙΟΥ 2017 Κυριακή της Σαμαρείτιδος Το νερό της ζωής Είναι καταμεσήμερο και λίγο έξω από την πόλη της Σαμάρειας Συχάρ, στο πηγάδι του Ιακώβ, ο Κύριος κάθεται να ξεκουραστεί. Ο τόπος έρημος, μα κάποια Σαμαρείτισσα πλησιάζει με τη στάμνα της για να πάρει νερό. Καθώς την βλέπει ο Κύριος, της λέει: «Δως μου να πιω». Η γυναίκα απορεί: «Πώς εσύ τολμάς και ζητάς νερά από μένα, μια Σαμαρείτισσα;» Και ο Χριστός της αποκρίνεται: «Εάν γνώριζες τη δωρεά του Αγίου Πνεύματος και ποιος σου ζητά νερό, εσύ θα του ζητούσες και θα σου έδινε νερό που δεν στερεύει ποτέ». Η γυναίκα δεν κατάλαβε και ρωτά: «Κύριε, ούτε στάμνα έχεις και το πηγάδι είναι βαθύ από πού λοιπόν έχεις το αστείρευτο νερό;» Και ο Χριστός της απαντά: «Καθένας που πίνει από το νερό αυτό του πηγαδιού, θα διψάσει πάλι. Εκείνος όμως που θα πιει από το νερό που θα του δώσω εγώ, δεν θα διψάσει ποτέ, αλλά θα αναβλύζει από την ψυχή του αστείρευτο νερό για να του χαρίζει ζωή αιώνια». Κύριε, δως μου το νερό αυτό, παρακαλεί έκπληκτη η γυναίκα, για να μη διψώ ποτέ. Ο Κύριος τότε της λέει: «Πήγαινε και φέρε εδώ και τον άνδρα σου». «Δεν έχω άνδρα», απαντά εκείνη. Κι ο παντογνώστης Κύριος της αποκαλύπτει όλη της τη ζωή: «Αλήθεια είπες. Πέντε άνδρες έχεις πάρει κι αυτός που τώρα έχεις δεν είναι άνδρας σου». Η γυναίκα σαστίζει: «Κύριε, καταλαβαίνω ότι είσαι προφήτης. Πες μου, πού πρέπει να προσκυνούμε τον Θεό, στο βουνό μας Γαριζείν ή στα Ιεροσόλυμα;» Και ο Κύριος απαντά: «Σε λίγο καιρό ούτε μόνο στο Γαριζείν ούτε μόνο στα Ιεροσόλυμα θα λατρεύετε τον Θεό. Ο Θεός είναι πνεύμα, κι όσοι Τον λατρεύουν, πρέπει να Τον προσκυνούν με αφοσίωση και επίγνωση». Λέει σ αυτόν η γυναίκα: «Γνωρίζω ότι έρχεται ο Μεσσίας. Όταν έλθει εκείνος, θα μας τα διδάξει όλα». -Εγώ είμαι ο Μεσσίας! απαντά ο Κύριος. Η γυναίκα τότε ενθουσιασμένη άφησε τη στάμνα της εκεί, έφυγε στην πόλη και άρχισε να φωνάζει: «Ελάτε να δείτε έναν άνθρωπο που μου είπε όλα όσα έκανα. Μήπως είναι αυτός ο Χριστός;» Και οι Σαμαρείτες άρχισαν να έρχονται προς το πηγάδι, να δουν τον Κύριο σαν τα διψασμένα ελάφια προς την πηγή. Ποιο όμως είναι «τό ὕδωρ τό ζῶν» για το οποίο μίλησε ο Κύριος στη Σαμαρείτιδα; Είναι η Χάρις του Θεού. Ο Κύριος πήρε αφορμή από το φυσικό νερό του πηγαδιού και τη φυσική δίψα κάθε ανθρώπου για να διδάξει το μυστήριο της Χάριτος του Αγίου Πνεύματος. Η ζέστη του μεσημεριού, ο έρημος τόπος, το πηγάδι, η στάμνα, το νερό, η δίψα, όλα συντέλεσαν ως εικόνες για να περιγράψει ο Κύριος το μυστήριο της θείας Χάριτος, χωρίς την οποία ο άνθρωπος δεν μπορεί να ζήσει.
Και ονομάζει ο Κύριος τη χάρη του Αγίου Πνεύματος «ὕδωρ ζῶν», διότι η Χάρις του Θεού καθαρίζει την ψυχή του ανθρώπου από κάθε μολυσμό, την ξεκουράζει και τη δροσίζει από το λίβα της αμαρτίας. Και τη ζωογονεί, ικανοποιεί όλους τους ανώτερους πόθους της, τη γεμίζει με όλες τις δωρεές του Αγίου Πνεύματος, της μεταγγίζει ζωή αιώνιο. Και το νερό αυτό της ζωής μάς το παρέχει ο Κύριος όχι στο πηγάδι του Ιακώβ αλλά στην αγία του Εκκλησία. Εκεί με τα ιερά Μυστήρια μας μεταγγίζει ζωή, μας παρέχει άφεση, λύτρωση, χορτασμό, σωτηρία. Μας αναγεννά σε νέα ζωή, όπως συνέβη και με τη Σαμαρείτιδα, η οποία έγινε στο εξής α- φοσιωμένη μαθήτρια του Κυρίου, ισαπόστολος, αγία, η αγία Φωτεινή. Και έτρεξε στα πέρατα της γης για να μεταδώσει το μυστήριο που έζησε, το μυστήριο της θείας Χάριτος. Οι ψυχές περιμένουν Μόλις επέστρεψαν οι μαθητές στο πηγάδι, παρακάλεσαν τον Κύριο να φάει κάτι. Αυτός όμως τους είπε: «Δική μου τροφή είναι να κάνω το θέλημα του Πατρός μου, να εργάζομαι τη σωτηρία των ανθρώπων. Σηκώστε τα μάτια σας και κοιτάξτε τα πλήθη των Σαμαρειτών που έρχονται. Όλοι αυτοί είναι πνευματικά χωράφια έτοιμα για θερισμό. Οι προφήτες πριν από εμένα κι εγώ κατόπιν έσπειρα σ αυτά και θα θερίσετε εσείς. Όπως και στο μέλλον, θα σπείρετε εσείς και θα θερίσουν οι διάδοχοί σας». Όταν οι Σαμαρείτες έφθασαν στο πηγάδι, άκουγαν με πόθο τα λόγια του Μεσσία και Τον παρακαλούσαν να μείνει για πάντα μαζί τους. Και ο Κύριος έμεινε στην πόλη τους δυο μέρες και τους δίδαξε μεγάλες αλήθειες. Και πίστεψαν σ Αυτόν πολλοί και ομολογούσαν ότι αυτός είναι ο Μεσσίας, ο Χριστός. Οι Σαμαρείτες ήταν ένα πνευματικό χωράφι έτοιμο για θερισμό. Πλήθος ψυχών που ποθούσαν να ακούσουν το κήρυγμα του Χριστού και να σωθούν. Γι αυτό παρακάλεσαν τον Κύριο να μείνει στην πόλη τους. Δεν είχαν δει πολλά θαύματα. Ένα τους συγκλόνισε, η μεταστροφή της συμπατριώτισσάς τους. Και ο Κύριος με το λόγο του και με τη χάρη του τους βοήθησε να πιστέψουν και να μετανοήσουν. Αλλά οι Σαμαρείτες εκείνοι αποτελούσαν μία προτύπωση, μια εικόνα όλης της ανθρωπότητας. Μιας ανθρωπότητας που χωρίς συχνά να το συνειδητοποιεί, διψά να ακούσει το μήνυμα της λυτρώσεως, να ξεδιψάσει από το ύδωρ της ζωής. Πόσοι άνθρωποι και σήμερα βρίσκονται στην άγνοια, στην πλάνη, στο σκοτάδι! Και ζητούν λίγη χαρά, λίγη ανάπαυση. Ζητούν κάπου να πιαστούν, κάπου να βρουν λίγη ελπίδα, λίγο φως. Κι έχουμε χρέος όλοι μας να κάνουμε το έργο της Σαμαρείτιδος. Να μιλήσουμε σ αυτούς με το λόγο μας και με το παράδειγμά μας για την εμπειρία της εν Χριστῷ ζωής. Οι ψυχές πολλές και περιμένουν. Είναι έτοιμες για θερισμό. Κάποιος πρέπει να τρέξει κοντά τους. Resurrectional Apolytikion 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. Resurrectional Apolytikion Fourth Tone Τὸ φαιδρὸν τῆς Ἀναστάσεως κήρυγμα, ἐκ τοῦ Ἀγγέλου μαθοῦσαι αἱ τοῦ Κυρίου Μαθήτριαι, καὶ τὴν προγονικὴν ἀπόφασιν ἀπορρίψασαι, τοῖς Ἀποστόλοις καυχώμεναι ἔλεγον Ἐσκύλευται ὁ θάνατος, ἠγέρθη Χριστὸς ὁ Θεός, δωρούμενος τῷ κόσμῳ τὸ μέγα ἔλεος. Seasonal Kontakion Plagal of the Fourth Tone Though You went down into the tomb, You destroyed Hades' power, and You rose the victor, Christ God, saying to the myrrh-bearing women, "Hail!" and granting peace to Your disciples, You who raise up the fallen. Seasonal Kontakion Plagal of the Fourth Tone Εἰ καὶ ἐν τάφῳ κατῆλθες ἀθάνατε, ἀλλὰ τοῦ ᾍδου καθεῖλες τὴν δύναμιν, καὶ ἀνέστης ὡς νικητής, Χριστὲ ὁ Θεός, γυναιξὶ Μυροφόροις φθεγξάμενος. Χαίρετε, καὶ τοῖς σοῖς Ἀποστόλοις εἰρήνην δωρούμενος ὁ τοῖς πεσοῦσι παρέχων ἀνάστασιν.
Acts of the Apostles 11:19-30 Prokeimenon. Mode 4. Psalm 103.24,1 O Lord, how manifold are your works. You have made all things in wisdom. Verse: Bless the Lord, O my soul. IN THOSE DAYS, those apostles who were scattered because of the persecution that arose over Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to none except Jews. But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who on coming to Antioch spoke to the Greeks also, preaching the Lord Jesus. And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number that believed turned to the Lord. News of this came to the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch. When he came and saw the grace of God, he was glad; and he exhorted them all to remain faithful to the Lord with steadfast purpose; for he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a large company was added to the Lord. So Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul; and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they met with the church, and taught a large company of people; and in Antioch the disciples were for the first time called Christians. Now in these days prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch. And one of them named Agabos stood up and foretold by the Spirit that there would be a great famine over all the world; and this took place in the days of Claudius. And the disciples determined, every one according to his ability, to send relief to the brethren who lived in Judea, and they did so, sending it to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul. Πράξεις Ἀποστόλων 11:19-30 Προκείμενον. Ήχος δ'. ΨΑΛΜΟΙ 103.24,1 Ὡς ἐμεγαλύνθη τὰ ἔργα σου Κύριε, πάντα ἐν σοφίᾳ ἐποίησας. Στίχ. Εὐλόγει ἡ ψυχή μου τὸν Κύριον. Ἐν ταῖς ἡμεραῖς ἐκείναις, διασπαρέντες οἱ Ἀπόστολοι ἀπὸ τῆς θλίψεως τῆς γενομένης ἐπὶ Στεφάνῳ διῆλθον ἕως Φοινίκης καὶ Κύπρου καὶ Ἀντιοχείας, μηδενὶ λαλοῦντες τὸν λόγον εἰ μὴ μόνον Ἰουδαίοις. Ἦσαν δέ τινες ἐξ αὐτῶν ἄνδρες Κύπριοι καὶ Κυρηναῖοι, οἵτινες εἰσελθόντες εἰς Ἀντιόχειαν, ἐλάλουν πρὸς τοὺς Ἑλληνιστάς, εὐαγγελιζόμενοι τὸν κύριον Ἰησοῦν. Καὶ ἦν χεὶρ κυρίου μετʼ αὐτῶν πολύς τε ἀριθμὸς πιστεύσας ἐπέστρεψεν ἐπὶ τὸν κύριον. Ἠκούσθη δὲ ὁ λόγος εἰς τὰ ὦτα τῆς ἐκκλησίας τῆς ἐν Ἱεροσολύμοις περὶ αὐτῶν καὶ ἐξαπέστειλαν Βαρνάβαν διελθεῖν ἕως Ἀντιοχείας ὃς παραγενόμενος καὶ ἰδὼν τὴν χάριν τοῦ θεοῦ ἐχάρη, καὶ παρεκάλει πάντας τῇ προθέσει τῆς καρδίας προσμένειν τῷ κυρίῳ ὅτι ἦν ἀνὴρ ἀγαθὸς καὶ πλήρης πνεύματος ἁγίου καὶ πίστεως καὶ προσετέθη ὄχλος ἱκανὸς τῷ κυρίῳ. Ἐξῆλθεν δὲ εἰς Ταρσὸν ὁ Βαρνάβας ἀναζητῆσαι Σαῦλον, καὶ εὑρὼν ἤγαγεν αὐτὸν εἰς Ἀντιόχειαν. Ἐγένετο δὲ αὐτοὺς ἐνιαυτὸν ὅλον συναχθῆναι τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ καὶ διδάξαι ὄχλον ἱκανόν, χρηματίσαι τε πρώτον ἐν Ἀντιοχείᾳ τοὺς μαθητὰς Χριστιανούς. Ἐν ταύταις δὲ ταῖς ἡμέραις κατῆλθον ἀπὸ Ἱεροσολύμων προφῆται εἰς Ἀντιόχειαν. Ἀναστὰς δὲ εἷς ἐξ αὐτῶν ὀνόματι Ἄγαβος, ἐσήμανεν διὰ τοῦ πνεύματος λιμὸν μέγαν μέλλειν ἔσεσθαι ἐφʼ ὅλην τὴν οἰκουμένην ὅστις καὶ ἐγένετο ἐπὶ Κλαυδίου Καίσαρος. Τῶν δὲ μαθητῶν καθὼς εὐπορεῖτό τις, ὥρισαν ἕκαστος αὐτῶν εἰς διακονίαν πέμψαι τοῖς κατοικοῦσιν ἐν τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ ἀδελφοῖς ὃ καὶ ἐποίησαν, ἀποστείλαντες πρὸς τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους διὰ χειρὸς Βαρνάβα καὶ Παύλου.
Sunday of the Samaritan Woman The Gospel According to John 4:5-42 At that time, Jesus came to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near the field that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. Jacob's well was there, and so Jesus, wearied as he was with his journey, sat down beside the well. It was about the sixth hour. There came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give me a drink." For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food. The Samaritan woman said to him, "How is it that you, a Jew, ask a drink of me, a woman of Samaria?" For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans. Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, 'Give me a drink,' you would have asked him and he would have given you living water." The woman said to him, "Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep; where do you get that living water? Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, and his sons, and his cattle?" Jesus said to her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst; the water that I shall give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life." The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw." Jesus said to her, "Go, call your husband, and come here." The woman answered him, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her, "You are right in saying, 'I have no husband'; for you have had five husbands, and he whom you now have is not your husband; this you said truly." The woman said to him, "Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet. Our fathers worshiped on this mountain; and you say that Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship." Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews. But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for such the Father seeks to worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth." The woman said to him, "I know that the Messiah is coming (he who is called Christ); when he comes, he will show us all things." Jesus said to her, "I who speak to you am he." Just then his disciples came. They marveled that he was talking with a woman, but none said, "What do you wish?" or, "Why are you talking with her?" So the woman left her water jar, and went away into the city and said to the people, "Come, see a man who told me all that I ever did. Can this be the Christ?" They went out of the city and were coming to him. Meanwhile the disciples besought him, saying "Rabbi, eat." But he said to them, "I have food to eat of which you do not know." So the disciples said to one another, "Has anyone brought him food?" Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of him who sent me, and to accomplish his work. Do you not say, 'There are yet four months, then comes the harvest'? I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see how the fields are already white for harvest. He who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, so that sower and reaper may rejoice together. For here the saying holds true, 'One sows and another reaps.' I sent you to reap that for which you did not labor; others have labored, and you have entered into their labor." Many Samaritans from that city believed in him because of the woman's testimony. "He told me all that I ever did." So when the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to stay with them; and he stayed there two days. And many more believed because of his word. They said to the woman, "It is no longer because of your words that we believe, for we have heard ourselves, and we know that this is indeed Christ the Savior of the world."
