ΚΑΘΕΔΡΙΚΟΣ ΝΑΟΣ ΝΕΑΣ ΑΓΓΛΙΑΣ ΕΥΑΓΓΕΛΙΣΜΟΣ ΤΗΣ ΘΕΟΤΟΚΟΥ ANNUNCIATION GREEK ORTHODOX CATHEDRAL OF NEW ENGLAND Rev. Fr. Demetrios E. Tonias, Ph.D., Cathedral Dean γ Δεκεμβρίου,βιζ ΙΔ ΛΟΥΚΑ 14th Sunday of Luke 3 December 2017 Ἀπολυτίκια Ἦχος α Τοῦ λίθου σφραγισθέντος ὑπὸ τῶν Ἰουδαίων, καὶ στρατιωτῶν φυλασσόντων τὸ ἄχραντόν σου Σῶμα, ἀνέστης τριήμερος Σωτήρ, δωρούμενος τῷ κόσμῳ τὴν ζωήν διὰ τοῦτο αἱ Δυνάμεις τῶν οὐρανῶν ἐβόων σοι ζωοδότα. Δόξα τῇ Ἀναστάσει σου Χριστέ, δόξα τῇ βασιλείᾳ σου, δόξα τῇ οἰκονομίᾳ σου, μόνε φιλάνθρωπε. 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 γʹ Ἡ Παρθένος σήμερον, τὸν προαιώνιον Λόγον, ἐν Σπηλαίῳ ἔρχεται, ἀποτεκεῖν ἀπορρήτως. Χόρευε ἡ οἰκουμένη ἀκουτισθεῖσα, δόξασον μετὰ Ἀγγέλων καὶ τῶν Ποιμένων, βουληθέντα ἐποφθῆναι, Παιδίον νέον, τὸν πρὸ αἰώνων Θεόν. Dismissal Hymns Mode 1 When the stone had been sealed by the Jews, and the soldiers were guarding Your immaculate body, You rose on the third day, O Savior, granting to the world life; and when the powers of heaven, cried out to You O Giver of Life. Glory to Your resurrection O Christ, glory to your Kingdom, glory to Your dispensation, O lover of mankind. 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 3 The Virgin today, for the eternal Logos, to a cave she comes forth, to ineffably give birth. Rejoice and dance, O Universe, to this Ye hearken; being glorified, by the angels and the shepherds. Who willed to be beheld as, a young child who before the ages is God. While he was asking who it was, they said to him, Jesus, the Nazarene. He knew that they were not saying that to him with love. He left what pertained to enemies and grasped hold of what pertained to friends. Son of David, have mercy on me. They were trying to prevent him, fearing that his eyes may be opened, and the Pharisees might recognize him and be irritated. St. Ephrem the Syrian

Ἀπόστολος Ἐφεσ. ε 8-19 Ephesians 5:8-19 Epistle Ἀδελφοί, ὡς τέκνα φωτὸς περιπατεῖτε [ὁ γὰρ καρπὸς τοῦ φωτὸς ἐν πάσῃ ἀγαθωσύνῃ καὶ δικαιοσύνῃ καὶ ἀληθείᾳ] δοκιμάζοντες τί ἐστιν εὐάρεστον τῷ Κυρίῳ καὶ μὴ συγκοινωνεῖτε τοῖς ἔργοις τοῖς ἀκάρποις τοῦ σκότους, μᾶλλον δὲ καὶ ἐλέγχετε, τὰ γὰρ κρυφῇ γινόμενα ὑπ' αὐτῶν αἰσχρόν ἐστιν καὶ λέγειν τὰ δὲ πάντα ἐλεγχόμενα ὑπὸ τοῦ φωτὸς φανεροῦται πᾶν γὰρ τὸ φανερούμενον φῶς ἐστι. Διὸ λέγει Εγειρε, ὁ καθεύδων, καὶ ἀνάστα ἐκ τῶν νεκρῶν, καὶ ἐπιφαύσει σοι ὁ Χριστός. Βλέπετε οὖν ἀκριβῶς πῶς περιπατεῖτε, μὴ ὡς ἄσοφοι ἀλλ' ὡς σοφοί, ἐξαγοραζόμενοι τὸν καιρόν, ὅτι αἱ ἡμέραι πονηραί εἰσι. Διὰ τοῦτο μὴ γίνεσθε ἄφρονες, ἀλλὰ συνιέντες τί τὸ θέλημα τοῦ Κυρίου. Καὶ μὴ μεθύσκεσθε οἴνῳ, ἐν ᾧ ἐστιν ἀσωτία, ἀλλὰ πληροῦσθε ἐν Πνεύματι, λαλοῦντες ἑαυτοῖς ψαλμοῖς καὶ ὕμνοις καὶ ᾠδαῖς πνευματικαῖς, ᾄδοντες καὶ ψάλλοντες τῇ καρδίᾳ ὑμῶν τῷ Κυρίῳ. Brethren, walk as children of light (for the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true), and try to learn what is pleasing to the Lord. Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. For it is a shame even to speak of the things that they do in secret; but when anything is exposed by the light it becomes visible, for anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it is said, "Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give you light." Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise, making the most of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery; but be filled with the Spirit, addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with all your heart. Εὐαγγέλιον Λουκ. ιη 35-43 Luke 18:35-43 Gospel Τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ, ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἐγγίζειν τὸν Ἰησοῦν εἰς Ἰεριχὼ τυφλός τις ἐκάθητο παρὰ τὴν ὁδὸν προσαιτῶν. ἀκούσας δὲ ὄχλου διαπορευομένου ἐπυνθάνετο τί εἴη ταῦτα. ἀπήγγειλαν δὲ αὐτῷ ὅτι Ἰησοῦς ὁ Ναζωραῖος παρέρχεται. καὶ ἐβόησε λέγων Ἰησοῦ, υἱὲ Δαυῒδ, ἐλέησόν με. καὶ οἱ προάγοντες ἐπετίμων αὐτῷ ἵνα σιωπήσῃ αὐτὸς δὲ πολλῷ μᾶλλον ἔκραζεν Υἱὲ Δαυῒδ, ἐλέησόν με. σταθεὶς δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐκέλευσεν αὐτὸν ἀχθῆναι πρὸς αὐτόν. ἐγγίσαντος δὲ αὐτοῦ ἐπηρώτησεν αὐτόν λέγων Τί σοι θέλεις ποιήσω; ὁ δὲ εἶπε Κύριε, ἵνα ἀναβλέψω. καὶ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ἀνάβλεψον ἡ πίστις σου σέσωκέ σε. καὶ παραχρῆμα ἀνέβλεψε, καὶ ἠκολούθει αὐτῷ δοξάζων τὸν Θεόν καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἰδὼν ἔδωκεν αἶνον τῷ Θεῷ. At that time, as Jesus drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging; and hearing a multitude going by, he inquired what this meant. They told him, "Jesus of Nazareth is passing by." And he cried, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!" And those who were in front rebuked him, telling him to be silent; but he cried out all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me!" And Jesus stopped, and commanded him to be brought to him; and when he came near, he asked him, "What do you want me to do for you?" He said, "Lord, let me receive my sight." And Jesus said to him, "Receive your sight; your faith has made you well." And immediately he received his sight and followed him, glorifying God; and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.

Hieromartyr Theodore of Alexandria 3 December The Hieromartyr Theodore, Bishop of Alexandria, was born in Egypt in the city of Alexandria. This city was famous for its many martyrs and confessors: from the holy Evangelist Mark, Protomartyr of Alexandria (April 25), to Saint Athanasius the Great ( January 18 and May 2), a pillar and confessor of Orthodoxy. Regrettably, historical records do not give us precise details of Saint Theodore s life and deeds, but the Church of Christ has preserved the name of the hieromartyr in its diptychs for all time. A fiery preacher, powerful of word and church activity, Bishop Theodore evoked an angry hatred in the boisterous pagans of Alexandria, who did not like his preaching. During one of his sermons they surrounded and seized the saint. They beat him and jeered at him, but he did not offer resistance. They placed a crown of thorns on his head, and led him through the streets of the city. Then they led him to the seacoast and threw him from a cliff into the sea, but the wind and the waves carried him back to dry land. The astonished pagans brought Saint Theodore to the prefect of the city, who commanded that he be subjected to harsh tortures. Not a word did the torturers hear from the tortured confessor, except his prayer to the Lord. Then the holy martyr was handed over to Roman soldiers and executed in the manner of the Apostle Paul, he was beheaded with a sword Ὁ Ἅγιος Θεόδωρος Ἦταν Αρχιεπίσκοπος Ἀ εξανδρείας κατά τα ἔτη 607 609. Τὰ θερμά του κηρύγματα, ἡ ζωντανή του πίστη, ἡ ἀκούραστη φιλανθρωπία του πρὸς τοὺς φτωχούς, τοὺς ἀσθενεῖς καὶ τοὺς ἐγκαταλελειμμένους, τραβοῦσαν σὰν δίχτυα μεγά ο πλῆθος εἰδωλολατρῶν καὶ τοὺς ἔφερναν στοὺς κό πους τῆς χριστιανικῆς Ἐκκλησίας. Γι αὐτὸ κινήθηκαν μὲ θανάσιμο μίσος ἐναντίον του οἱ ἱερεῖς τῆς εἰδωλολατρίας, μαζὶ μὲ τοὺς ἄρχοντές τους. Καὶ κάποια μέρα, ὑποκίνησαν πλῆθος εἰδωλολατρῶν, μεταξὺ δὲ αὐτῶν μέθυσους καὶ ἐγκληματίες, καὶ ἐπετέθηκαν κατὰ τοῦ ἀρχιεπισκόπου Θεοδώρου, τὴν στιγμὴ ποὺ ἐπέστρεφε ἀπὸ συνοικία, ποὺ εἶχε πάει μὲ δύο ἱερεῖς γιὰ νὰ παρηγορήσει ψυχὲς καὶ νὰ μοιράσει 3 Δεκεµβρίου ἐ εημοσύνη. Ἀφοῦ λοιπὸν τὸν ἔπιασαν, τὸν ἔδειραν, τὸν ἔφτυσαν, τοῦ φόρεσαν ἀκάνθινο στεφάνι στὸ κεφά ι καὶ τὸν τριγυρνοῦσαν στοὺς δρόμους καὶ τὶς πλατεῖες. Ὅταν τὸ πληροφορήθηκαν οἱ ἀρχές, ἔστειλαν στρατιωτικὸ ἀπόσπασμα καὶ τὸν ὁδήγησαν στὸν κριτή. Αὐθημερόν, μετὰ τὴν τυπικὴ διαδικασία, ἐπειδὴ ὁ Θεόδωρος ἔμενε ἀμετακίνητος στὴν ὁμολογία τοῦ Χριστοῦ, καταδικάστηκε σὲ θάνατο. Καὶ βεβαίωσε τὴν πίστη καὶ τὴν ἀγάπη του, ἀφοῦ ὑπέστη καρτερικὰ καὶ γενναία, ὄχι μόνο τὰ προηγούμενα μαρτύρια, ἀ ὰ καὶ τὸ μαρτύριο τοῦ ἀποκεφαλισμοῦ. Τὸ δὲ τίμιο λείψανό του, τάφηκε στὴ δική του πό η τὴν Ἀ εξάνδρεια.
