Ἀπόστολος Γαλ. ς 11-18 Galatians 6:11-18 Epistle Ἀδελφοί, ἴδετε πηλίκοις ὑμῖν γράμμασιν ἔγραψα τῇ ἐμῇ χειρί. Ὅσοι θέλουσιν εὐπροσωπῆσαι ἐν σαρκί, οὗτοι ἀναγκάζουσιν ὑμᾶς περιτέμνεσθαι, μόνον ἵνα μὴ τῷ σταυρῷ τοῦ Χριστοῦ διώκωνται οὐδὲ γὰρ οἱ περιτεμνόμενοι αὐτοὶ νόμον φυλάσσουσιν, ἀλλὰ θέλουσιν ὑμᾶς περιτέμνεσθαι ἵνα ἐν τῇ ὑμετέρᾳ σαρκὶ καυχήσωνται. Ἐμοὶ δὲ μὴ γένοιτο καυχᾶσθαι εἰ μὴ ἐν τῷ σταυρῷ τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, δι' οὗ ἐμοὶ κόσμος ἐσταύρωται κἀγὼ τῷ κόσμῳ. Ἐν γὰρ Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ οὔτε περιτομή τι ἰσχύει οὔτε ἀκροβυστία, ἀλλὰ καινὴ κτίσις. Καὶ ὅσοι τῷ κανόνι τούτῳ στοιχήσουσιν, εἰρήνη ἐπ' αὐτοὺς καὶ ἔλεος, καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰσραὴλ τοῦ Θεοῦ. Τοῦ λοιποῦ κόπους μοι μηδεὶς παρεχέτω ἐγὼ γὰρ τὰ στίγματα τοῦ Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ ἐν τῷ σώματί μου βαστάζω. Η χάρις τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ μετὰ τοῦ πνεύματος ὑμῶν, ἀδελφοί ἀμήν. Brethren, see with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand. It is those who want to make a good showing in the flesh that would compel you to be circumcised, and only in order that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. For even those who receive circumcision do not themselves keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may glory in your flesh. But far be it from me to glory except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. For neither circumcision counts for anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. Peace and mercy be upon all who walk by this rule, upon the Israel of God. Henceforth let no man trouble me; for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren. Amen. Εὐαγγέλιον Ἰω. γ 13-17 John 3:13-17 Gospel Εἶπεν ὁ Κύριος καὶ οὐδεὶς ἀναβέβηκεν εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν εἰ μὴ ὁ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καταβάς, ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ὁ ὤν ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ. καὶ καθὼς Μωϋσῆς ὕψωσε τὸν ὄφιν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, οὕτως ὑψωθῆναι δεῖ τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου, ἵνα πᾶς ὁ πιστεύων εἰς αὐτὸν μὴ ἀπόληται ἀλλ' ἔχῃ ζωὴν αἰώνιον. Οὕτω γὰρ ἠγάπησεν ὁ Θεὸς τὸν κόσμον, ὥστε τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ τὸν μονογενῆ ἔδωκεν, ἵνα πᾶς ὁ πιστεύων εἰς αὐτὸν μὴ ἀπόληται ἀλλ' ἔχῃ ζωὴν αἰώνιον. οὐ γὰρ ἀπέστειλεν ὁ Θεὸς τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν κόσμον ἵνα κρίνῃ τὸν κόσμον, ἀλλ' ἵνα σωθῇ ὁ κόσμος δι' αὐτοῦ. The Lord said, "No one has ascended into heaven but he who descended from heaven, the Son of man. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him may have eternal life. For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God sent the Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him."

Saints Menodora, Nymphodora, and Metrodora 10 September The Holy Virgins Menodora, Nymphodora, and Metrodora (305-311), were sisters from Bithynia (Asia Minor). Distinguished for their special piety, they wanted to preserve their virginity and avoid worldly associations. They chose a solitary place for themselves in the wilderness and spent their lives in deeds of fasting and prayer. Reports of the holy life of the virgins soon spread, since healings of the sick began to occur through their prayers. The Bithynia region was governed at that time by a man named Frontonus, who ordered that the sisters be arrested and brought before him. At first he tried to persuade them to renounce Christ, promising great honors and rewards. But the holy sisters steadfastly confessed their faith before him, rejecting all his suggestions. They told him that they did not value the temporal things of this world, and that they were prepared to die for their Heavenly Bridegroom, for death would be their gateway to eternal life. Flying into a rage, the governor took out his wrath on Saint Menodora, the eldest sister. She was stripped of her clothes and beaten by four men, while a herald urged her to offer sacrifice to the gods. The saint bravely endured the torments and cried out, Sacrifice? Can t you see that I am offering myself as a sacrifice to my God? Then they renewed their torments with even greater severity. Then the martyr cried out, Lord Jesus Christ, joy of my heart, my hope, receive my soul in peace. With these words she gave up her soul to God, and went to her Heavenly Bridegroom. Four days later, they brought the two younger sisters Metrodora and Nymphodora to the court. They showed them the battered body of their older sister to frighten them. The virgins wept over her, but remained steadfast. Then Saint Metrodora was tortured. She died, crying out to her beloved Lord Jesus Christ with her last breath. Then they turned to the third sister, Nymphodora. Before her lay the bruised bodies of her sisters. Frontonus hoped that this sight would intimidate the young virgin. Pretending that he was charmed by her youth and beauty, he urged her to worship the pagan gods, promising great rewards and honors. Saint Nymphodora scoffed at his words, and shared the fate of her older sisters. She was tortured and beaten to death with iron rods. The bodies of the holy martyrs were to be burned in a fire, but a heavy rain extinguished the blazing fire, and lightning struck down Frontonus and his servant. Christians took up the bodies of the holy sisters and reverently buried them at the so-called Warm Springs at Pythias (Bithynia). Part of the relics of the holy martyrs are preserved on Mt. Athos in the Protection cathedral of the Saint Panteleimon Russian monastery, and the hand of Saint Metrodora is on the Holy Mountain in the monastery of the Pantocrator.

Right-Believing Pulcheria, Byzantine Empress 10 September The Holy Right-Believing Empress Pulcheria, daughter of the Byzantine emperor Arcadius (395-408), was coregent and adviser of her brother Theodosius the Younger (408-450). She received a broad and wellrounded education, and distinguished herself by her wisdom and piety, firmly adhering to Orthodox teaching. Through her efforts the church of the Most Holy Theotokos was built at Blachernae, and also other churches and monasteries. Through the intrigues of enemies and of Eudokia, the wife of the emperor Theodosius the Younger, Saint Pulcheria was removed from power. She withdrew into seclusion, and lived a pious life. Without her benificent influence, conditions in the capital deteriorated. She returned after a while, following the urgent request of her brother. Then the unrest provoked by emerging heresies was quelled. After the death of Theodosius the Younger, Marcian (450-457) was chosen emperor. Saint Pulcheria again wanted to withdraw into her seclusion, but both the emperor and officials entreated her not to refuse the throne, but to marry the emperor Marcian. For the common good she consented to become Marcian s wife if she were allowed to preserve her virginity within the marriage. They were married, but lived in purity as brother and sister. Through the efforts of Saint Pulcheria, the Third Ecumenical Council was held at Ephesus in 431 to address the heresy of Nestorius; and also the Fourth Ecumenical Council which was convened at Chalcedon in the year 451, to deal with the heresies of Dioscorus and Eutychius. Saint Pulcheria built the church of the Mother of God at Blachernae at Constantinople, and also found the relics of the Forty Martyrs of Sebaste (March 9). Throughout her life Saint Pulcheria defended the Orthodox Faith against various heresies. After giving away her wealth to the poor and to the Church, she died peacefully at the age of fifty-four in the year 453.

Οἱ Ἁγίες Μηνοδώρα, Μητροδώρα, Νυμφοδώρα 10 Σεπτεµβρίου Ἦταν ἀδελφὲς καὶ κατάγονταν ἀπὸ τὴ Βιθυνία. Ἡ λάμψη τῆς παρθενίας καὶ ἡ ὡραιότητα τῶν ψυχῶν καὶ τῶν σωμάτων τους, ἔκαναν τὶς τρεῖς ἀδελφὲς νὰ εἶναι καύχημα τῶν χριστιανῶν. Οἱ φροντίδες καὶ οἱ συνήθειες τοῦ κόσμου δὲν τὶς ἀπασχολοῦσαν. Ἡ μόνη τους φροντίδα ἦταν «μετὰ αἰδοῦς καὶ σωφροσύνης κοσμεὶν ἑαυτάς, ἢ ἐν πλέγμασιν ἢ χρυσῷ ἢ μαργαρίταις ἢ ἰματισμῷ πολυτελεῖ». Δηλαδὴ φρόντιζαν νὰ στολίζουν τὸν ἑαυτό τους μὲ συστολὴ καὶ σωφροσύνη καὶ ὄχι μὲ φιλάρεσκα πλεξίματα τῶν μα ιῶν τους ἢ μὲ χρυσὰ ἢ μαργαριτένια κοσμήματα ἢ μὲ ροῦχα πολυτελή. Γιὰ τὴν ἀγάπη λοιπὸν τοῦ Χριστοῦ, ἄφησαν τὴν πατρίδα της καὶ πῆγαν νὰ κατοικήσουν σὲ ἕναν λόφο, κοντὰ στὰ Πύθια θερμὰ λουτρά. Ἐκεῖ ἀσκήτευαν καὶ κα ιεργοῦσαν ἀκόμα περισσότερο τὴν σωφροσύνη τους. Γι αὐτὸ ἀξιώθηκαν ἀπὸ τὸ Θεὸ νὰ θεραπεύουν ἀσθένειες, καὶ ἔτρεχε κοντὰ τους πλῆθος κόσμου. Ὅταν τὸ ἔμαθε αὐτὸ ὁ ἔπαρχος Φρόντων, ἔστειλε καὶ συνέ αβε τὶς τρεῖς ἀδελφές. Β έποντας τὴν φρόνηση καὶ τὴν σύνεση, ἀ ὰ καὶ τὴν ἀφοβία μὲ τὴν ὁποία τὸν ἀντιμετώπισαν, διέταξε καὶ τὶς βασάνισαν μὲ τὰ πιὸ φρικτὰ βασανιστήρια. Ὑπέμειναν μὲ ἀνδρεῖα τὰ μαρτύρια καὶ ἔτσι ἔνδοξα παρέδωσαν τις ψυχὲς τους στὸ νυμφίο τους Χριστὸ. Ὁ ἔπαρχος θέ ησε νὰ κάψει τὰ σώματά τους, ἀ ὰ οἱ φλόγες ἔκαψαν τὸν ἴδιο καὶ ἔπειτα καταρρακτώδης βροχὴ ἔσβησε τὴν φωτιά. Τὰ σώματα τῶν τριῶν παρθένων τάφηκαν μὲ σεβασμὸ ἀπὸ τοὺς χριστιανούς. Ἀπολυτίκιο. Ἦχος α. Τοὺς τρεῖς μεγίστους φωστῆρας. Τᾶς τρεῖς ἐνδόξους Παρθένους καὶ Ἀθ ηφόρους θεόφρονας, τὰς συνδεδεμένας ἐνθέως, ἀδελφικῇ οἰκειότητι, τὰς κα ιρόους πηγὰς τῆς εὐσέβειας, τὰς ἀναβ υζούσας, μαρτυρικῶν ἀγώνων χάριν ἀέναον, τὴν θείαν Μηνοδώραν, καὶ τὴν Μητροδώραν τὴν ἔνδοξον, σὺν τῇ κλυτῇ Νυμφοδώρᾳ, τῇ ἐν πᾶσι καρτερόφρονι, πάντες οἱ τρυφῶντες τῶν ἄθ ων αὐτῶν, συνδραμόντες ὕμνοις τιμήσωμεν αὐταὶ γὰρ τῇ Τριάδι, ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν ἀεὶ πρεσβεύουσι. Κοντάκιον Ἦχος δ. Ὁ ὑψωθεῖς ἐν τῷ Σταυρῷ. Ὑπὲρ Τριάδος καρτερῶς ἐναθ οῦσαι, τὸν πολυμήχανον ἐχθρὸν ἐτροπώσασθε, ἀδελφικῶς τῷ πνεύματι συνδούμεναι ὅθεν εἰσῳκίσθητε, σὺν ταῖς πέντε παρθένοις, εἰς τὸν ἐπουράνιον, Ἀθ ηφόροι νυμφῶνα, καὶ σὺν Ἀγγέ οις τῷ Παμβασιλεῖ, ἐν εὐφροσύνῃ, ἀπαύστως παρίστασθε. Μεγαλυνάριον. Χαίροις Μηνοδώρα θεοειδής χαίροις Μητροδώρα, ἀπερίτρεπτε ἐν ποιναῖς χαίροις Νυμφοδώρα, ἡ τοῦ Σωτῆρος νύμφη, Τριάδος τῆς ἁγίας, κόραι ἰσάριθμαι.
