ΚΑΘΕΔΡΙΚΟΣ ΝΑΟΣ ΝΕΑΣ ΑΓΓΛΙΑΣ ΕΥΑΓΓΕΛΙΣΜΟΣ ΤΗΣ ΘΕΟΤΟΚΟΥ ANNUNCIATION GREEK ORTHODOX CATHEDRAL OF NEW ENGLAND Rev. Fr. Demetrios E. Tonias, Ph.D., Cathedral Dean ιθ Νοεμβρίου,βιζ Θ ΛΟΥΚΑ 9th Sunday of Luke 19 November 2017 Ἀπολυτίκια Ἦχος βαρύς Κατέλυσας τῷ Σταυρῷ σου τὸν θάνατον ἠνέῳξας τῷ Λῃστῇ τὸν Παράδεισον τῶν Μυροφόρων τὸν θρῆνον μετέβαλες καὶ τοῖς σοῖς Ἀποστόλοις κηρύττειν ἐπέταξας ὅτι ἀνέστης Χριστὲ ὁ Θεός, παρέχων τῷ κόσμῳ τὸ μέγα ἔλεος. 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 Grave You did abolish death by Your Cross. You opened to the thief paradise. You did transform the myrrhbearers lamentation. And to Your Apostles You did bid to preach. That You are risen O Christ our God, granting to the world great mercy. 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. Jesus does not leave us without instruction. Having found a good opportunity, he makes a profitable and saving speech. Protesting against them, he declares, Take heed, and keep yourselves from all greed. He showed us that covetousness is a pitfall of the devil and hateful to God. The wise Paul even calls it idolatry, perhaps as being suitable for only those who do not know God or as being equal in the balance with the defilement of those people who choose to serve sticks and stones. It is a snare of evil spirits, by which they drag down a person s soul to the nets of hell. St. Cyril of Alexandria

Ἀπόστολος Ἐφεσ. β 14-22 Ephesians 2:14-22 Epistle Ἀδελφοί, Χριστός ἐστιν ἡ εἰρήνη ἡμῶν, ὁ ποιήσας τὰ ἀμφότερα ἓν καὶ τὸ μεσότοιχον τοῦ φραγμοῦ λύσας τὴν ἔχθραν, ἐν τῇ σαρκὶ αὐτοῦ, τὸν νόμον τῶν ἐντολῶν ἐν δόγμασιν καταργήσας, ἵνα τοὺς δύο κτίσῃ ἐν αὑτῷ εἰς ἕνα καινὸν ἄνθρωπον ποιῶν εἰρήνην, καὶ ἀποκαταλλάξῃ τοὺς ἀμφοτέρους ἐν ἑνὶ σώματι τῷ Θεῷ διὰ τοῦ σταυροῦ, ἀποκτείνας τὴν ἔχθραν ἐν αὐτῷ. Καὶ ἐλθὼν εὐηγγελίσατο εἰρήνην ὑμῖν τοῖς μακρὰν καὶ εἰρήνην τοῖς ἐγγύς ὅτι δι' αὐτοῦ ἔχομεν τὴν προσαγωγὴν οἱ ἀμφότεροι ἐν ἑνὶ Πνεύματι πρὸς τὸν Πατέρα. Ἄρα οὖν οὐκέτι ἐστὲ ξένοι καὶ πάροικοι, ἀλλὰ ἐστὲ συμπολῖται τῶν ἁγίων καὶ οἰκεῖοι τοῦ Θεοῦ, ἐποικοδομηθέντες ἐπὶ τῷ θεμελίῳ τῶν ἀποστόλων καὶ προφητῶν, ὄντος ἀκρογωνιαίου αὐτοῦ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, ἐν ᾧ πᾶσα οἰκοδομὴ συναρμολογουμένη αὔξει εἰς ναὸν ἅγιον ἐν Κυρίῳ, ἐν ᾧ καὶ ὑμεῖς συνοικοδομεῖσθε εἰς κατοικητήριον τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐν Πνεύματι. Brethren, Christ is our peace, who has made us both one, and has broken down the dividing wall of hostility, by abolishing in his flesh the law of commandments and ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace, and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby bringing the hostility to an end. And he came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near; for through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father. So then you are no longer strangers and sojourners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole structure is joined together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord; in whom you also are built into it for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit. Εὐαγγέλιον Λουκ. ιβʹ 16-21 Luke 12:16-21 Gospel Εἶπεν ὁ Κύριος τὴν παραβολὴν ταύτην Ἀνθρώπου τινὸς πλουσίου εὐφόρησεν ἡ χώρα καὶ διελογίζετο ἐν ἑαυτῷ λέγων τί ποιήσω, ὅτι οὐκ ἔχω ποῦ συνάξω τοὺς καρπούς μου; καὶ εἶπε τοῦτο ποιήσω καθελῶ μου τὰς ἀποθήκας καὶ μείζονας οἰκοδομήσω, καὶ συνάξω ἐκεῖ πάντα τὰ γεννήματά μου καὶ τὰ ἀγαθά μου, καὶ ἐρῶ τῇ ψυχῇ μου ψυχή, ἔχεις πολλὰ ἀγαθὰ κείμενα εἰς ἔτη πολλά ἀναπαύου, φάγε, πίε, εὐφραίνου. εἶπε δὲ αὐτῷ ὁ Θεός ἄφρον, ταύτῃ τῇ νυκτὶ τὴν ψυχήν σου ἀπαιτοῦσιν ἀπὸ σοῦ ἃ δὲ ἡτοίμασας τίνι ἔσται; οὕτως ὁ θησαυρίζων ἑαυτῷ καὶ μὴ εἰς Θεὸν πλουτῶν. Ταῦτα λέγων ἐφώνει. Ὁ ἔχων ὦτα ἀκούειν, ἀκουέτω. The Lord said this parable: "The land of a rich man brought forth plentifully; and he thought to himself, 'What shall I do, for I have nowhere to store my crops?' And he said, 'I will do this: I will pull down my barns, and build larger ones; and there I will store all my grain and my goods. And I will say to my soul, 'Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; take your ease, eat, drink, be merry.' But God said to him, 'Fool! This night your soul is required of you; and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?' So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God." As he said these things, he cried out: "He who has ears to hear, let him hear."

Prophet Obadiah (Abdia) 19 November The Holy Prophet Obadiah [or Abdia] is the fourth of the Twelve Minor Prophets, and he lived during the ninth century B.C. He was from the village of Betharam, near Sichem, and he served as steward of the impious Israelite King Ahab. In those days the whole of Israel had turned away from the true God and had begun to offer sacrifice to Baal, but Obadiah faithfully served the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in secret. When Ahab s wife, the impious and dissolute Jezebel, hunted down all the prophets of the Lord (because of her quarrel with the Prophet Elias), Obadiah gave them shelter and food (3/1 Kgs 18:3 ff). Ahab s successor King Okhoziah [Ahaziah] sent three detachments of soldiers to arrest the holy Prophet Elias (July 20). One of these detachments was headed by Saint Obadiah. Through the prayer of Saint Elias, two of the detachments were consumed by heavenly fire, but Saint Obadiah and his detachment were spared by the Lord 4/2 Kgs 1). From that moment Saint Obadiah resigned from military service and became a follower of the Prophet Elias. Afterwards, he himself received the gift of prophecy. The God-inspired work of Saint Obadiah is the fourth of the Books of the Twelve Minor Prophets in the Bible, and contains predictions about the New Testament Church. The holy Prophet Obadiah was buried in Samaria

Ὁ Προφήτης Ἀβδίας ἢ Ὀβδιοὺ ἢ Ἀβδιού 19 Νοεµβρίου Τὸ ὄνομά του σημαίνει «δοῦ ος Κυρίου». Ἔζησε στὸ δεύτερο μισό του 6ου αἰώνα π.χ., (κατ ἄ η ἐκδοχὴ τὸ 800 π.χ.), καὶ εἶναι ἕνας ἀπὸ τοὺς δώδεκα μικροὺς λεγόμενους προφῆτες. Καταγόταν ἀπὸ τὴν Συχὲμ (ἐκ τοῦ ἀγροῦ Βηθοχαρὰμ ἢ Βαθαχαράμ), καὶ μὲ τὴν σύντομη προφητεία του αὐστηρὰ παρατηρεῖ μὲ ἰσχυρὲς ποιητικὲς ἐκφράσεις τὴν ὑπερηφάνεια καὶ τὴν πτώση τοῦ Ἰσραή. Νὰ τί λέει χαρακτηριστικὰ γιὰ τὴν ὑπερηφάνεια: «Ὑπερηφανία τῆς καρδίας σου ἐπῆρέ σε κατασκηνοῦντα ἐν ταῖς ὀπαῖς τῶν πετρῶν, ὑψῶν κατοικίαν αὐτοῦ, λέγων ἐν καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ, τὶς κατάξει μὲ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν; ἐὰν μετεωρισθῆς ὡς ἀετὸς καὶ ἐὰν ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν ἄστρων θῆς νοσσιᾶν σου, ἐκεῖθεν κατάξω σε, λέγει Κύριος» Δηλαδή: Ἡ ὑπερηφάνεια τῆς καρδιᾶς σου σὲ ἔκανε νὰ φρονεῖς πολὺ ὑψηλὰ γιὰ τὸν ἑαυτό σου, ὅτι τάχα κατοικεῖς σὲ φαράγγια καὶ σπηλιὲς τῶν ὀρέων καὶ γενικὰ ἀπόρθητες περιοχές. Ἔχεις κτίσει τὴν κατοικία σου σὲ πολὺ ὕψος, πιστεύεις ὅτι εἶσαι ἰσχυρὸς καὶ ἀνίκητος καὶ λὲς ἀπὸ μέσα σου: Ποιὸς θὰ μπορέσει νὰ μὲ κατεβάσει στὴ γῆ; Καὶ ἂν ἀκόμα πετάξεις σὲ μεγά α ὕψη σὰν τὸν ἀετό, καὶ ἂν στήσεις τὴν φωλιά σου ψηλὰ ἀνάμεσα στ ἀστέρια, ἀπὸ ἐκεῖ θὰ σὲ καταρρίψω καὶ θὰ σὲ κατεβάσω, λέγει ὁ Κύριος. Ἂς προσέξουμε, λοιπόν, τὰ λόγια τοῦ προφήτη καὶ ἂς κα ιεργοῦμε τὸ θεμέ ιο τῶν ἀρετῶν, ποὺ εἶναι ἡ ταπείνωση. Νὰ ἀναφέρουμε ἐπίσης, ὅτι ὁ Ὀβδιοὺ ἦταν μαθητὴς τοῦ προφήτου Ἠ ιοῦ, ἐπὶ τῆς βασιλείας Ὀχοζία, ὁ ὁποῖος ἔστειλε τὸν Ὀβδιοὺ στὸν Ἠ ία γιὰ νὰ τὸν πείσει νὰ κατέβει ἀπὸ τὸ βουνὸ πρὸς τὸν βασιλιά. Μετὰ τὴν μετάβαση τοῦ Ἠ ία στὸν Ὀχοζία, ὁ Ὀβδιού, παραιτήθηκε ἀπὸ τὴν θέση τοῦ πεντηκοντάρχου, ἀκολούθησε τὸν προφήτη Ἠ ία καὶ τὸν ὑπηρετοῦσε. Ὅταν πέθανε ἐτάφη στὸν τάφο τῶν πατέρων του. Ἀπολυτίκιον. Ἦχος δ. Ὁ ὑψωθεῖς ἐν τῷ Σταυρῷ. Ὥσπερ θεράπων φερωνύμως τοῦ Λόγου, τοῦ ὑπὲρ ἔννοιαν φωτὸς ἠξιώθης, καὶ προφητείας ἔ αμψιν ἐδέξω σοφὲ δόξαν γὰρ τὴν ἄϋ ον, καθαρῶς ἐποπτεύων, ὄργανον θεόπνευστον, Ἀβδιοὺ ἀνεδείχθης, προμελῳδοῦν ἐν κόσμῳ μυστικῶς, τῶν ἐσομένων, Προφῆτα τὴν ἔκβασιν. Κοντάκιον. Ἦχος πλ. δ. Ὡς ἀπαρχὰς τῆς φύσεως. Ὡς ἀπαρχὴν εὐπρόσδεκτον, προσαγαγὼν τὸν βίον σου, τῷ ἐν Τριάδι Θεῷ παναοίδιμε, θεαρχικῆς ἐ άμψεως, ἀπηνέγκω τὸ κά ος, καὶ με όντων ἐκφάντωρ θεοειδέστατος, Ἀβδιοὺ ἀνεδείχθης, κραυγάζων Ἀ ηλούϊα. Μεγαλυνάριον. Χάριν προφητείας οἷα πηγήν, Ἀβδιοὺ Προφῆτα, δεδεγμένος ἐν τῇ ψυχῇ, ὄμβροις οὐρανίοις, προφητικῶς ἐπάρδεις, ἡμῶν τὰς διανοίας, τῶν εὐφημούντων σε. We have heard a report from the Lord, that is, the Lord of the world powers will do nothing if he has not first revealed his mystery to his servants, the prophets. And a messenger has been sent among the nations. A mystical meaning is probable here, and these words may be referred to Emmanuel, the angel of the testament, sent from heaven, who announced peace to the nations, and therefore was said to be the expectation of the nations. St. Ephrem the Syrian
