Kindly make checks payable to Holy Trinity Cathedral and write "Funeral Donation" on the memo line. FAMILY GRAS IS HERE! The 2nd Annual Family Gras will take place in the gymnasium today, Sunday, January 29, after church services. All youth were asked to bring pre-made Mardi Gras floats that will serve as table centerpieces. These will be judged, and participants will receive certificates and a small token of appreciation. A New Orleans style potluck buffet will be served. Parishioners of all ages are invited to this fun community gathering. GOYA VOLLEYBALL Although Holy Trinity youth soccer will not begin until March, GOYA volleyball began on Friday, January 27, with an indoor practice session. The volleyball gatherings, scheduled in the gymnasium on Friday evenings at 6:00 pm, are a fun, no-pressure opportunity to learn to play the game, as well as to get to know each other better. It is for players of all levels - from beginners to intermediate. Coach Kalli Grass and GOYA Advisor Donna Venturatos encourage GOYANS to give it a try or just come hang out, if you really do not wish to play! They also hope to engage GOYA parents in preparing a light meal of fasting foods following some of the Friday night practices. The informal gatherings promise to be fun for all! Everyone is asked to support the GOYA Bake Sale next Sunday, February 5. Lots of goodies for you to enjoy or share! GOYA Sunday, February 5 at noon!

Message from Father George ENCOURAGED TO LIVE A HOLY LIFE In today s Epistle reading, II Corinthians 6:16-18, 7:1, the Holy Apostle Paul teaches the Corinthian Christians. In the Orthodox Study Bible this section is subtitled A Plea for Holiness. The problem that existed in Corinth was not too different than what we face in our current society in this country. The people of ancient Corinth were bombarded by false religions and teachings that were contrary to a life in Christ. And, so, Saint Paul was constantly preaching and teaching the message of repentance changing from old and sinful ways and recognizing that as Christians there was a new higher calling that needed to be recognized, if they were to continue to consider themselves Christian. The new higher calling is a new way of life that is influenced by the life and teaching of our Lord Jesus Christ. An interesting parallel is discussed in the following text: Through Paul's personal ministry and his letters, a foundation in Christ had been laid for a much beloved, if wayward, church. Because it was a culture obsessed with wine, women, sports, entertainment, song, and moneymaking, Corinth is one of the most accessible bridges between the Roman world of the first century and our day. We do well to refrain from being critical of Corinth lest we feel self-satisfied and in need of nothing. We should ponder the practical lessons of Corinth, for in it we see a distant mirror of our own troubled days. (Herald Magazine Jan/Feb 2002) Saint Paul would encourage us to be less motivated and distracted by the life of our society just as he encouraged the ancient Corinthians. He would also encourage us to recognize that God is within us, and it is imperative that our lives reflect this understanding. He writes in the final line from the Epistle reading: let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body and spirit, and make holiness perfect in the fear of God. When we recognize that truly God is in us, then we need to make ourselves an honorable vessel of our great God. It is not me who is great. But, it is God Who is great, and He is in me. So, as we prepare for the beginning of Great Lent in just a few weeks, may we focus on the teaching of Saint Paul to cleanse and change ourselves through the Sacrament of Confession and through repentance. As we pursue this process, we will be responding to the Plea for Holiness.

Resurrection Apolytikion Grave Tone You abolished death by Your Cross; You opened Paradise to the thief; You transformed the myrrh-bearers' lamentation, and bid Your Apostles to preach that You are risen, O Christ God, granting great mercy to the world. Apolytikion for the Hieromartyr Tone 4 As a sharer of the ways and a successor to the throne of the Apostles, O inspired of God, you found discipline to be a means of ascent to divine vision. Wherefore, having rightly divided the word of truth, you also contested for the Faith even unto blood, O Hieromartyr Ignatius. Intercede with Christ our God that our souls be saved. Apolytikion of the Holy Trinity Plagal Tone 4 Blessed are You, O Christ our God, who made fishermen all-wise, sending upon them the Holy Spirit and, through them, netting the world. O Loving One, glory to You. Kontakion Tone 1 Your birth sanctified a Virgin's womb and properly blessed the hands of Symeon. Having now come and saved us O Christ our God, give peace to Your commonwealth in troubled times and strengthen those in authority, whom You love, as only the loving One.

ΑΠΟΣΤΟΛΟΣ Β Κορινθίους ς' 16-18, ζ 1 Κύριος ἰσχὺν τῷ λαῷ αὐτοῦ δώσει. Στίχ. Ἐνέγκατε τῷ Κυρίῳ υἱοὶ Θεοῦ, ἐνέγκατε τῷ Κυρίῳ δόξαν καὶ τιμήν. Ἀδελφοί, ὑμεῖς ἐστε ναὸς Θεοῦ ζῶντος, καθὼς ἶπεν ὁ Θεὸς «ὅτι ἐνοικήσω ἐν αὐτοῖς καὶ ἐμπεριπατήσω, καὶ ἔσομαι αὐτῶν Θεός, καὶ αὐτοὶ σονταί μοι λαός. Διὸ ἐξέλθατε ἐκ μέσου αὐτῶν καὶ ἀφορίσθητε, λέγει Κύριος, καὶ ἀκαθάρτου μὴ ἅπτεσθε, κἀγὼ εἰσδέξομαι ὑμᾶς, καὶ ἔσομαι ὑμῖν εἰς πατέρα, καὶ ὑμεῖς ἔσεσθέ μοι εἰς υἱοὺς καὶ θυγατέρας, λέγει Κύριος παντοκράτωρ». Ταύτας οὖν ἔχοντες τὰς ἐπαγγελίας, ἀγαπητοί, καθαρίσωμεν ἑαυτοὺς ἀπὸ παντὸς μολυσμοῦ σαρκὸς καὶ πνεύματος, ἐπιτελοῦντες ἁγιωσύνην ἐν φόβῳ Θεοῦ. TΟ ΕΥΑΓΓΕΛΙΟΝ Ματθαίον ιε 21-28 Τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ ἀνεχώρησεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἰς τὰ μέρη Τύρου καὶ Σιδῶνος. καὶ ἰδοὺ γυνὴ Χαναναία ἀπὸ τῶν ὁρίων ἐκείνων ἐξελθοῦσα ἐκραύγασεν αὐτῷ λέγουσα Ἐλέησόν με, Κύριε, υἱὲ Δαυῒδ ἡ θυγάτηρ μου κακῶς δαιμονί-ζεται. ὁ δὲ οὐκ ἀπεκρίθη αὐτῇ λόγον. καὶ προσελθόντες οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ ἠρώτουν αὐτὸν λέγον-τες Ἀπόλυσον αὐτήν, ὅτι κράζει ὄπισθεν ἡμῶν. ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν Οὐκ ἀπεστάλην εἰ μὴ εἰς τὰ πρόβατα τὰ ἀπολωλότα οἴκου Ἰσραήλ. ἡ δὲ ἐλθοῦσα προσε-κύνησεν αὐτῷ λέγουσα Κύριε, βοήθει μοι. ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν Οὐκ ἔστι καλὸν λαβεῖν τὸν ἄρτον τῶν τέκνων καὶ βαλεῖν τοῖς κυναρίοις. ἡ δὲ εἶπε Ναί, Κύριε, καὶ γὰρ τὰ κυνάρια ἐσθίει ἀπὸ τῶν ψιχίων τῶν πιπτόντων ἀπὸ τῆς τραπέζης τῶν κυρίων αὐτῶν. Τότε ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῇ Ὦ γύναι, μεγάλη σου ἡ πίστις! γενηθήτω σοι ὡς θέλεις. καὶ ἰάθη ἡ θυγάτηρ αὐτῆς ἀπὸ τῆς ὥρας ἐκείνης. THE EPISTLE 2 Corinthians 6:16-18, 7:1 The Lord will give strength to the people. Bring to the Lord, o sons of God, bring to the Lord honor and glory. BRETHREN, you are the temple of the living God; as God said, "I will live in them and move among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Therefore come out from them, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and touch nothing unclean; then I will welcome you, and I will be a father to you, and you shall be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty." Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body and spirit, and make holiness perfect in the fear of God. THE GOSPEL Matthew 15:21-28 At that time, Jesus went to the district of Tyre and Sidon. And behold, a Canaanite woman from that region came out and cried, "Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David; my daughter is severely possessed by a demon." But he did not answer her word. And his disciples came and begged him, saying, "Send her away, for she is crying after us." He answered, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." But she came and knelt before him, saying, "Lord, help me." And he answered, "It is not fair to take the children s bread and throw it to the dogs." She said, "Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master s table." Then Jesus answered her, "O woman, great is your faith! Be it done for you as you desire." And her daughter was healed instantly.
