Tonias, Ph.D., Cathedral Dean ιβ Νοεμβρίου,βιζ Η ΛΟΥΚΑ 8th Sunday of Luke 12 November 2017 Ἀπολυτίκια Ἦχος πλ. β Ἀγγελικαὶ υνάμεις ἐπὶ τὸ μνῆμά σου, καὶ οἱ φυλάσσοντες ἀπενεκρώθησαν καὶ ἵστατο Μαρία ἐν τῷ τάφῳ ζητοῦσα τὸ ἄχραντόν σου σῶμα. Ἐσκύλευσας τὸν Ἅδην, μὴ πειρασθεὶς ὑπ αὐτοῦ ὑπήντησας τῇ Παρθένῳ, δωρούμενος τὴν ζωήν. Ὁ ἀναστὰς ἐκ τῶν νεκρῶν, Κύριε δόξα σοι. Ἦχος πλ. δ Ἐν τῇ ὑπομονῇ σου ἐκτήσω τὸν μισθόν σου Πάτερ, Ὅσιε, ταῖς προσευχαῖς ἀδιαλείπτως ἐγκαρτερήσας, τοὺς πτωχοὺς ἀγαπήσας, καὶ τούτοις ἐπαρκέσας Ἀλλὰ πρέσβευε Χριστῷ τῷ Θεῷ, Ἰωάννη Ἐλεῆμον μακάριε, σωθῆναι τὰς ψυχὰς ἡμῶν. 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 Ὁ καθαρώτατος ναὸς τοῦ Σωτῆρος, ἡ πολυτίμητος παστὰς καὶ Παρθένος, τὸ ἱερὸν θησαύρισμα τῆς δόξης τοῦ Θεοῦ, σήμερον εἰσάγεται, ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ Κυρίου, τὴν χάριν συνεισάγουσα, τὴν ἐν Πνευματι Θείῳ ἣν ἀνυμνοῦσιν Ἄγγελοι Θεοῦ Αὕτη ὑπάρχει σκηνὴ ἐπουράνιος. Dismissal Hymns Mode pl. 2 Angelic powers were above Thy tomb and they that guarded Thee became as dead. * And Mary stood by the grave seeking Your Immaculate Body. * You destroyed Hades yet remained untouched by it. * Thou didst meet the Virgin and did grant us life. * Thou who did rise from the dead, * Lord glory to You. Mode pl. 4 By your patience you obtained your reward, O devout Father. You persevered in your prayers without ceasing; and the poor you loved and satisfied. We entreat you, blessed John the Merciful, intercede with Christ our God, for the salvation of our souls. 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 The Savior's most pure and immaculate temple, the very precious bridal chamber and Virgin, who is the sacred treasure of the glory of God, on this day is introduced into the House of the Lord, and with herself she brings the grace in the divine Spirit. She is extolled by the Angels of God. A heavenly tabernacle is she.

Ἀπόστολος Β Κορ. θ 6-11 2 Corinthians 9:6-11 Epistle Ἀδελφοί, ὁ σπείρων φειδομένως, φειδομένως καὶ Brethren, the point is this: he who sows sparingly θερίσει, καὶ ὁ σπείρων ἐπ' εὐλογίαις ἐπ' will also reap sparingly, and he who sows εὐλογίαις καὶ θερίσει. Ἕκαστος καθὼς προαιρεῖται τῇ καρδίᾳ, μὴ ἐκ λύπης ἢ ἐξ ἀνάγκης ἱλαρὸν γὰρ δότην ἀγαπᾷ ὁ Θεός. Δυνατὸς δὲ ὁ Θεὸς πᾶσαν χάριν περισσεῦσαι εἰς ὑμᾶς, ἵνα ἐν παντὶ πάντοτε πᾶσαν αὐτάρκειαν ἔχοντες περισσεύητε εἰς πᾶν ἔργον ἀγαθόν, καθὼς γέγραπται 'Εσκόρπισεν, ἔδωκε τοῖς πένησιν, ἡ δικαιοσύνη αὐτοῦ μένει εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα. Ὁ δὲ ἐπιχορηγῶν σπέρμα τῷ σπείροντι καὶ ἄρτον εἰς βρῶσιν χορηγήσαι καὶ πληθύναι τὸν σπόρον ὑμῶν καὶ αὐξήσει τὰ γενήματα τῆς δικαιοσύνης ὑμῶν ἐν παντὶ πλουτιζόμενοι εἰς πᾶσαν ἁπλότητα, ἥτις κατεργάζεται δι' ἡμῶν εὐχαριστίαν τῷ Θεῷ. bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must do as he has made up his mind, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to provide you with every blessing in abundance, so that you may always have enough of everything and may provide in abundance for every good work. As it is written, "He scatters abroad, he gives to the poor; his righteousness endures for ever." He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your resources and increase the harvest of your righteousness. You will be enriched in every way for great generosity, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God. Εὐαγγέλιον Λουκ. ιʹ 25-37 Luke 10:25-37 Gospel Τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ, νομικός τις προσῆλθε τῷ Ἰησοῦ πειράζων αὐτὸν καὶ λέγων Διδάσκαλε, τί ποιήσας ζωὴν αἰώνιον κληρονομήσω; ὁ δὲ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτόν Ἐν τῷ νόμῳ τί γέγραπται; πῶς ἀναγινώσκεις; ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν Ἀγαπήσεις Κύριον τὸν Θεόν σου ἐξ ὅλης τῆς καρδίας σου καὶ ἐξ ὅλης τῆς ψυχῆς σου καὶ ἐξ ὅλης τῆς ἰσχύος σου καὶ ἐξ ὅλης τῆς διανοίας σου, καὶ τὸν πλησίον σου ὡς σεαυτόν εἶπε δὲ αὐτῷ Ὀρθῶς ἀπεκρίθης τοῦτο ποίει καὶ ζήσῃ. ὁ δὲ θέλων δικαιοῦν ἑαυτὸν εἶπε πρὸς τὸν Ἰησοῦν Καὶ τίς ἐστί μου πλησίον; ὑπολαβὼν δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν Ἄνθρωπός τις κατέβαινεν ἀπὸ Ἱερουσαλὴμ εἰς Ἰεριχὼ, καὶ λῃσταῖς περιέπεσεν οἳ καὶ ἐκδύσαντες αὐτὸν καὶ πληγὰς ἐπιθέντες ἀπῆλθον ἀφέντες ἡμιθανῆ τυγχάνοντα. κατὰ συγκυρίαν δὲ ἱερεύς τις κατέβαινεν ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ ἐκείνῃ, καὶ ἰδὼν αὐτὸν ἀντιπαρῆλθεν. ὁμοίως δὲ καὶ Λευῒτης γενόμενος At that time, a lawyer stood up to put Jesus to the test, saying, "Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" He said to him, "What is written in the law? How do you read?" And he answered, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself." And he said to him, "You have answered right; do this, and you will live." But he, desiring to justify himself, said to Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?" Jesus replied, "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead. Now by chance a priest was going down that road; and when he saw him he passed by on the other side. So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place Continued on next page

κατὰ τὸν τόπον, ἐλθὼν καὶ ἰδὼν ἀντιπαρῆλθε. Σαμαρείτης δέ τις ὁδεύων ἦλθε κατ' αὐτὸν, καὶ ἰδὼν αὐτὸν ἐσπλαγχνίσθη, καὶ προσελθὼν κατέδησε τὰ τραύματα αὐτοῦ ἐπιχέων ἔλαιον καὶ οἶνον, ἐπιβιβάσας δὲ αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὸ ἴδιον κτῆνος ἤγαγεν αὐτὸν εἰς πανδοχεῖον καὶ ἐπεμελήθη αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν αὔριον ἐξελθὼν, ἐκβαλὼν δύο δηνάρια ἔδωκε τῷ πανδοχεῖ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ἐπιμελήθητι αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὅ, τι ἂν προσδαπανήσῃς, ἐγὼ ἐν τῷ ἐπανέρχεσθαί με ἀποδώσω σοι. τίς οὖν τούτων τῶν τριῶν πλησίον δοκεῖ σοι γεγονέναι τοῦ ἐμπεσόντος εἰς τοὺς λῃστάς; ὁ δὲ εἶπεν Ὁ ποιήσας τὸ ἔλεος μετ' αὐτοῦ. εἶπεν οὖν αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς Πορεύου καὶ σὺ ποίει ὁμοίως. and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was; and when he saw him, he had compassion, and went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine; then he set him on his own beast and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. And the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, 'Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I come back.' Which of these three, do you think, proved neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?" He said, "The one who showed mercy on him." And Jesus said to him, "Go and do likewise." St. John the Merciful, Patriarch of Alexandria Saint John the Merciful, Patriarch of Alexandria, was born on Cyprus in the seventh century into the family of the illustrious dignitary Epiphanius. At the wish of his parents he entered into marriage and had children. When the wife and the children of the saint died, he became a devout monk. He was zealous in fasting and prayer, and had great love for those around him. His spiritual exploits won him honor among men, and even the emperor revered him. When the Patriarchal throne of Alexandria fell vacant, the emperor Heraclius and all the clergy begged Saint John to occupy the Patriarchal throne. The saint worthily assumed his archpastoral service, concerning himself with the moral and dogmatic welfare of his flock. As patriarch he denounced every soul-destroying heresy, and drove out from Alexandria the 12 November Monophysite Phyllonos of Antioch. He considered his chief task to be charitable and to give help all those in need. At the beginning of his patriarchal service he ordered his stewards to compile a list of all the poor and downtrodden in Alexandria, which turned out to be over seven thousand men. The saint ordered that all of these unfortunates be provided for each day out of the church s treasury. Twice during the week, on Wednesdays and Fridays, he emerged from the doors of the patriarchal cathedral, and sitting on the church portico, he received everyone in need. He settled quarrels, helped the wronged, and distributed alms. Three times a week he visited the sick-houses, and rendered assistance to the suffering. It was during this period that the emperor Heraclius led a tremendous army against the Persian emperor Chosroes II. The Persians ravaged and burned Jerusalem, taking a multi Continued on next page

tude of captives. The holy Patriarch John gave a large portion of the church treasury for their ransom. The saint never refused suppliants. One day, when the saint was visiting the sick, he met a beggar and commanded that he be given six silver coins. The beggar changed his clothes, ran on ahead of the Patriarch, and again asked for alms. Saint John gave him six more silver coins. When, however, the beggar sought charity a third time, and the servants began to chase the fellow away, the Patriarch ordered that he be given twelve pieces of silver, saying, Perhaps he is Christ putting me to the test. Twice the saint gave money to a merchant that had suffered shipwreck, and a third time gave him a ship belonging to the Patriarchate and filled with grain, with which the merchant had a successful journey and repaid his obligations. Saint John the Merciful was known for his gentle attitude towards people. Once, the saint was compelled to excommunicate two clergymen for a certain time because of some offense. One of them repented, but the other fellow became angry with the Patriarch and fell into greater sins. The saint wanted to summon him and calm him with kind words, but it slipped his mind. When he was celebrating the Divine Liturgy, the saint was suddenly reminded by the words of the Gospel: If you bring your gift to the altar and remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift before the altar... first, be reconciled with your brother, and then come and offer your gift (Mt. 5:23-24). The saint came out of the altar, called the offending clergyman to him, and falling down on his knees before him in front of all the people he asked forgiveness. The cleric, filled with remorse, repented of his sin, corrected himself, and afterwards was found worthy to be ordained to the priesthood. There was a time when a certain citizen insulted George, the Patriarch s nephew. George asked the saint to avenge the wrong. The saint promised to deal with the offender so that all of Alexandria would marvel at what he had done. This calmed George, and Saint John began to instruct him, speaking of the necessity for meekness and humility. Then he summoned the man who insulted George. When Saint John learned that the man lived in a house owned by the church, he declared that he would excuse him from paying rent for an entire year. Alexandria indeed was amazed by such a revenge, and George learned from his uncle how to forgive offenses and to bear insults for God s sake. Saint John, a strict ascetic and man of prayer, was always mindful of his soul, and of death. He ordered a coffin for himself, but told the craftsmen not to finish it. Instead, he would have them come each feastday and ask if it was time to finish the work. Saint John was persuaded to accompany the governor Nicetas on a visit to the emperor in Constantinople. While on his way to visit the earthly king, he dreamed of a resplendent man who said to him, The King of Kings summons you. He sailed to his native island of Cyprus, and died at Amanthos, the saint peacefully fell asleep in the Lord (616-620).

Ὁ Ἅγιος Ἰωάννης ὁ Ἐλεήμονας 12 Νοεµβρίου Ο Άγιος Ιωάννης ο Ε εήμων γεννήθηκε στην Αμαθούντα της Κύπρου (η Αμαθούς, ήταν η σημερινή Παλαιά Λεμεσός). Ήταν γιος του άρχοντα Επιφανίου και της Ευκοσμίας και έζησε στα χρόνια του Βασιλιά Ηρακλείου (615 μ.χ.). Όταν μεγά ωσε, νυμφεύθηκε και απέκτησε παιδιά, τα οποία ανέτρεψαν με τη σύζυγό του σαν αληθινοί χριστιανοί γονείς. Γρήγορα, όμως, η γυναίκα του και τα παιδιά του πέθαναν. Ο Ιωάννης είχε μεγά η περιουσία και του έγιναν πο ές προτάσεις να κάνει καινούργια οικογένεια. Όμως τις απέρριψε ό ες, απαντώντας: «Νομίζω, προς ό ους είμαι οφειλέτης. Και δεν το νομίζω μόνο. Είμαι. Διότι οι χριστιανοί έχουμε α ηλεγγύη. Δεν το λέει ο Παύ ος; Εἴμεθα μέ η ἀ ή ων. Αφού, λοιπόν έχω τη δυνατότητα να δώσω στους αδελφούς μου, άρα είμαι και υποχρεωμένος να δώσω. Να γιατί εργάζομαι και δε θα πάψω να το κάνω. Η περιουσία μου δεν μπορεί να είναι ανώτερη απ' αυτά τα χρέη μου». Για τη λαμπρότητα της ζωής του, ο Ιωάννης έγινε αρχιεπίσκοπος Α εξανδρείας. Διέπρεψε σαν πνευματική λυχνία στην πατριαρχεία πο ά χρόνια και έκανε πο ά θαύματα. Επειδή δε μοίραζε πλουσιοπάροχα στους φτωχούς την ελεημοσύνη ονομάστηκε Ε εήμων. Είχε καταστεί τόσο σεβάσμιος, ώστε και αυτοί οι ειδωλολάτρες τον σέβονταν. Τελικά, ειρηνικά παρέδωσε την μακάρια ψυχή του στο Θεό το 620 μ.χ. Και είναι μακάρια η ψυχή του, διότι ο Κύριος λέει: «Μακάριοι οἱ ἐ εήμονες, ὅτι αὐτοὶ ἐ εηθήσονται» ( Ευαγγέ ιο Ματθαίου, ε' 7). Μακάριοι, δηλαδή, είναι οι ευσπλαχνικοί στη δυστυχία του πλησίον, διότι αυτοί θα ελεηθούν από το Θεό. Ἀπολυτίκιον. Ἦχος πλ. δ. Ἐν τῇ ὑπομονῇ σου ἐκτήσω τὸν μισθόν σου Πάτερ, Ὅσιε, ταῖς προσευχαῖς ἀδιαλείπτως ἐγκαρτερήσας, τοὺς πτωχοὺς ἀγαπήσας, καὶ τούτοις ἐπαρκέσας Ἀ ὰ πρέσβευε Χριστῷ τῷ Θεῷ, Ἰωάννη Ἐ εῆμον μακάριε, σωθῆναι τὰς ψυχὰς ἡμῶν. Κοντάκιον. Ἦχος β. Τὰ ἄνω ζητῶν. Τὸν πλοῦτον τὸν σόν, ἐσκόρπισας τοῖς πένησι, καὶ τῶν οὐρανῶν, τὸν πλοῦτον νῦν ἀπεί ηφας, Ἰωάννη πάνσοφε διὰ τοῦτο πάντες σε γεραίρομεν, ἐκτελοῦντες τήν μνήμην σου, τῆς ἐ εημοσύνης ὦ ἐπώνυμε. Κάθισμα. Ἦχος πλ. δ. Ἐ εήμονα γνώμην ἀναλαβών, εὐσυμπάθητος ὤφθης προσεπαρκῶν, πτωχοῖς ἐνδεέσι τε, Ἰωάννη θεόπνευστε, διὰ τοῦτο κλῆσιν, τῇ πράξει κατά ηλον, παρὰ πάντας μάκαρ, Ἁγίους ἐπλούτησας ὅθεν ὁ δοτὴρ σε, τοῦ ἐ έους μεγά ως, θεόφρον ἠ έησε, καὶ φαιδρῶς κατελάμπρυνεν, Ἱεράρχα πανό βιε, πρέσβευε Χριστῷ τῷ Θεῷ, τῶν πταισμάτων ἄφεσιν δωρήσασθαι, τοῖς ἑορτάζουσι πόθῳ, τὴν Ἁγίαν μνήμην σου. Ὁ Οἶκος Ἴδιον κά ος ἐνθεὶς τῇ ψυχῇ σου, τὴν γνησίαν ἀγάπην, καὶ τὴν ὡραίαν συμπάθειαν, κόρην ὡραίως κεκοσμημένην, τὴν ἐ εημοσύνην, κλάδοις ἐ αίας ἐν τῇ νυκτὶ ἀψευδῶς, Ἰωάννη ἑώρακας, ἱ αρῶς σοι φθεγγομένην. Ἐὰν κτήσῃ με φί ην καὶ σύνοικον, ἄξω σε ἐνώπιον τοῦ Βασιλέως Χριστοῦ, καὶ πεισθείς, τοῦ σκοποῦ οὐ διήμαρτες, τῆς ἐ εημοσύνης ὦ ἐπώνυμε. Μεγαλυνάριον Ἐ εημοσύνης ὁ ποταμός, ὁ τῆς εὐσπλαγχνίας, διανέμων ἐπιρροάς, καὶ καταπιαίνων, ἀπόρων τὰς καρδίας, ὁ μέγας Ἰωάννης, ὑμνολογείσθω μοι.
