Ἠχος δ Τῶν οὐρανίων στρατιῶν Ἀρχιστράτηγε, δυσωποῦμέν σε ἀεὶ ἡμεῖς οἱ ἀνάξιοι, ἵνα ταῖς σαῖς δεήσεσι τειχίσῃς ἡμᾶς, σκέπη τῶν πτερύγων, τῆς ἀΰλου σου δόξης, φρουρῶν ἡμᾶς προσπίπτοντας, ἐκτενῶς καὶ βοῶντας Ἐκ τῶν κινδύνων λύτρωσαι ἡμᾶς, ὡς ταξιάρχης τῶν ἄνω Δυνάμεων.

Αὐτὴν ἑορτάζει καὶ ὁ λαός σου, ἐνοχῆς τῶν πταισμάτων, λυτρωθεὶς ἐν τῷ κράζειν σοι ἡ στεῖρα τίκτει τὴν Θεοτόκον, καὶ τροφὸν τῆς ζωῆς ἡμῶν. Dismissal Hymns Mode pl. 1 The Co-Eternal Logos with Father and Spirit, * who from the Virgin was born for the salvation of us, * let us sing a hymn of praise and worship. * For He suffered in the flesh, * being raised upon the Cross and death He endured; * and raising the dead, * in the glory of His Resurrection. Mode 4 Chief Commander of the heavenly armies, we the unworthy ones entreat you in earnest, that you might with your supplications fortify us, guarding us who run to you and beneath the protection of the pinions of your immaterial glory, and who with fervor shout: Deliver us, from every danger, as Captain of the hosts on high. 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 In your holy birth, Immaculate One, Joachim and Anna were rid of the shame of childlessness; Adam and Eve of the corruption of death. And so your people, free of the guilt of their sins, celebrate crying: The barren one gives birth to the Theotokos, who nourishes our life.
Ἀπόστολος Β Κορ. α 21-24, β 1-4 2 Corinthians 1:21-24, 2:1-4 Epistle Ἀδελφοί, ὁ βεβαιῶν ἡμᾶς σὺν ὑμῖν εἰς Χριστόν, καὶ χρίσας ἡμᾶς, θεός, ὁ καὶ σφραγισάμενος ἡμᾶς, καὶ δοὺς τὸν ἀρραβῶνα τοῦ πνεύματος ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ἡμῶν. Ἐγὼ δὲ μάρτυρα τὸν θεὸν ἐπικαλοῦμαι ἐπὶ τὴν ἐμὴν ψυχήν, ὅτι φειδόμενος ὑμῶν οὐκέτι ἦλθον εἰς Κόρινθον. Οὐχ ὅτι κυριεύομεν ὑμῶν τῆς πίστεως, ἀλλὰ συνεργοί ἐσμεν τῆς χαρᾶς ὑμῶν τῇ γὰρ πίστει ἑστήκατε. Ἔκρινα δὲ ἐμαυτῷ τοῦτο, τὸ μὴ πάλιν ἐν λύπῃ πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἐλθεῖν. Εἰ γὰρ ἐγὼ λυπῶ ὑμᾶς, καὶ τίς ἐστιν ὁ εὐφραίνων με, εἰ μὴ ὁ λυπούμενος ἐξ ἐμοῦ; Καὶ ἔγραψα ὑμῖν τοῦτο αὐτό, ἵνα μὴ ἐλθὼν λύπην ἔχω ἀφ ὧν ἔδει με χαίρειν, πεποιθὼς ἐπὶ πάντας ὑμᾶς, ὅτι ἡ ἐμὴ χαρὰ πάντων ὑμῶν ἐστίν. Ἐκ γὰρ πολλῆς θλίψεως καὶ συνοχῆς καρδίας ἔγραψα ὑμῖν διὰ πολλῶν δακρύων, οὐχ ἵνα λυπηθῆτε, ἀλλὰ τὴν ἀγάπην ἵνα γνῶτε ἣν ἔχω περισσοτέρως εἰς ὑμᾶς. Εὐαγγέλιον Ματθ. κβ 2-14 Matthew 22:2-14 Gospel Εἶπεν ὁ Κύριος τὴν παραβολὴν ταύτην Ὡμοιώθη ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν ἀνθρώπῳ βασιλεῖ, ὅστις ἐποίησε γάμους τῷ υἱῷ αὐτοῦ. Καὶ ἀπέστειλε τοὺς δούλους αὐτοῦ καλέσαι τοὺς κεκλημένους εἰς τοὺς γάμους, καὶ οὐκ ἤθελον ἐλθεῖν. Πάλιν ἀπέστειλεν ἄλλους δούλους λέγων Εἴπατε τοῖς κεκλημένοις ἰδοὺ τὸ ἄριστόν μου ἡτοίμασα, οἱ ταῦροί μου καὶ τὰ σιτιστὰ τεθυμένα, καὶ πάντα ἕτοιμα δεῦτε εἰς τοὺς γάμους. οἱ δὲ ἀμελήσαντες ἀπῆλθον, ὃς μὲν εἰς τὸν ἴδιον ἀγρόν, ὃς δὲ εἰς τὴν ἐμπορίαν αὐτοῦ οἱ δὲ λοιποὶ κρατήσαντες τοὺς δούλους αὐτοῦ ὕβρισαν καὶ ἀπέκτειναν. Ἀκούσας δὲ ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐκεῖνος ὠργίσθη, καὶ πέμψας τὰ στρατεύματα αὐτοῦ ἀπώλεσε τοὺς φονεῖς ἐκείνους καὶ τὴν πόλιν αὐτῶν ἐνέπρησε. Τότε λέγει τοῖς δούλοις αὐτοῦ Ο μὲν γάμος ἕτοιμός ἐστιν, οἱ δὲ κεκλημένοι οὐκ ἦσαν ἄξιοι πορεύεσθε οὖν ἐπὶ τὰς διεξόδους τῶν ὁδῶν, καὶ ὅσους ἐὰν εὕρητε καλέσατε εἰς τοὺς γάμους. Καὶ ἐξελθόντες οἱ BRETHREN, it is God who establishes us with you in Christ, and has commissioned us; he has put his seal upon us and given us his Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee. But I call God to witness against me - it was to spare you that I refrained from coming to Corinth. Not that we lord it over your faith; we work with you for your joy, for you stand firm in your faith. For I made up my mind not to make you another painful visit. For if I cause you pain, who is there to make me glad but the one whom I have pained? And I wrote as I did, so that when I came I might not suffer pain from those who should have made me rejoice, for I felt sure of all of you, that my joy would be the joy of you all. For I wrote you out of much affliction and anguish of heart and with many tears, not to cause you pain but to let you know the abundant love that I have for you. The Lord said this parable, "The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who gave a marriage feast for his son, and sent his servants to call those who were invited to the marriage feast; but they would not come. Again he sent other servants, saying, 'Tell those who are invited, Behold, I have made ready my dinner, my oxen and my fat calves are killed, and everything is ready; come to the marriage feast.' But they made light of it and went off, one to his farm, another to his business, while the rest seized his servants, treated them shamefully, and killed them. The king was angry, and he sent his troops and destroyed those murderers and burned their city. Then he said to his servants, 'The wedding is ready, but those invited w e r e n o t w o r t h y. G o t h e r e f o r e t o t h e thoroughfares, and invite to the marriage feast as many as you find.' And those servants went out into Continued on next page
δοῦλοι ἐκεῖνοι εἰς τὰς ὁδοὺς συνήγαγον πάντας ὅσους εὗρον, πονηρούς τε καὶ ἀγαθούς καὶ ἐπλήσθη ὁ γάμος ἀνακειμένων. Εἰσελθὼν δὲ ὁ βασιλεὺς θεάσασθαι τοὺς ἀνακειμένους εἶδεν ἐκεῖ ἄνθρωπον οὐκ ἐνδεδυμένον ἔνδυμα γάμου, καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ Ἐταῖρε, πῶς εἰσῆλθες ὧδε μὴ ἔχων ἔνδυμα γάμου; Ο δὲ ἐφιμώθη. Τότε εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τοῖς διακόνοις Δήσαντες αὐτοῦ πόδας καὶ χεῖρας ἄρατε αὐτὸν καὶ ἐκβάλετε εἰς τὸ σκότος τὸ ἐξώτερον ἐκεῖ ἔσται ὁ κλαυθμὸς καὶ ὁ βρυγμὸς τῶν ὀδόντων. Πολλοὶ γάρ εἰσι κλητοὶ, ὀλίγοι δὲ ἐκλεκτοί. the streets and gathered all whom they found, both bad and good; so the wedding hall was filled with guests. But when the king came in to look at the guests, he saw there a man who had no wedding garment; and he said to him, 'Friend, how did you get in here without a wedding garment?' And he was speechless. Then the king said to the attendants, 'Bind him hand and foot, and cast him into the outer darkness; there men will weep and gnash their teeth.' For many are called, but few are chosen." The garment that is required is in the heart, not on the body, for if it had been put on externally, it could not have been concealed even from the servants. But what is the wedding garment that must be put on? We learn it from these words, May your priests be clothed with righteousness. It is of that garment of righteousness that the apostle speaks when he says, Because when we are clothed, we are not found naked. In this way the unprepared man was discovered by the Lord of the feast, interrogated, bound and thrown out, one from among the many. St. Augustine

Miracle of the Archangel Michael at Colossae The Miracle of the Holy Chief Commander Archangel Michael at Colossae. In Phrygia, not far from the city of Hieropolis, in a place called Cheretopos, there was a church named for the Archangel Michael, built over a miraculous spring. This church was built by a certain inhabitant of the city of Laodicia in gratitude to God for healing his mute daughter. The holy Chief Commander Michael appeared to this man in a dream and revealed to him that his daughter would receive the gift of speech after drinking from the water of the spring. The girl actually did receive healing and began to speak. After this miracle, the father and his daughter and all their family were baptized. In fervent gratitude, the father built the church in honor of the holy Chief Commander Michael. Not only did Christians begin to come to the spring for healing, but also pagans. In so doing, many of the pagans turned from their idols and were converted to the faith in Christ. At this church of the holy Chief Commander Michael, a certain pious man by the name of Archippus Θαῦμα Ἀρχαγγέλου Μιχαὴλ στὶς Χωναὶς Σὲ κάποιο μέρος τῆς Φρυγίας χτίσθηκε ἕνας ναὸς στὸ ὄνομα τοῦ Ἀρχαγγέ ου Μιχαή, ἀπὸ ἕναν χριστιανὸ ποὺ εἶχε γιατρευτεῖ ἡ κόρη του ἀπὸ τὸν Ἀρχάγγελο. Στὸ ναὸ ζοῦσε ἕνας εὐσεβὴς ἀσκητὴς ὁ Ἄρχιππος, ἐναντίον τοῦ ὁποίου στράφηκαν οἱ εἰδωλολάτρες, οἱ ὁποῖοι ἤθελαν νὰ ἐκδικηθοῦν γιὰ τὰ θαύματα ποὺ γίνονταν. Ὅρμησαν τότε νὰ καταστρέψουν τὸ ναὸ καὶ νὰ δολοφονήσουν τὸν Ἄρχιππο. Ἐπενέβη ὅμως ὁ Ἀρχάγγελος, ὁ ὁποῖος ἐξουδετέρωσε τοὺς εἰδωλολάτρες. Αὐτοὶ ὅμως δὲ σταμάτησαν θέ ησαν νὰ ἐκτρέψουν ἕνα ποταμὸ νὰ πνίξουν τὸν Ἄρχιππο, καὶ νὰ καταστρέψουν τὸ ναό. Τότε ὁ Ἀρχάγγελος μὲ τὸ σημεῖο τοῦ σταυροῦ σταματᾷ τὰ νερὰ καὶ προστάζει νὰ χωνευθοῦν, κατὰ παράδοξο τρόπο ἕως καὶ σήμερα στὸ σημεῖο ἐκεῖνο τὰ νερὰ χωνεύονται καὶ γι αὐτὸ τὸ μέρος ὀνομάστηκε Χώναις. 6 September served for sixty years as church custodian. By his preaching and by the example of his saintly life he brought many pagans to faith in Christ. With the general malice of that time towards Christians, and especially against Archippus, the pagans thought to destroy the church in order to prevent people from coming to that holy place of healing, and at the same time kill Archippus. Toward this end they made a confluence of the Lykokaperos and Kufos Rivers and directed its combined flow against the church. St Archippus prayed fervently to the Chief Commander Michael to ward off the danger. Through his prayer the Archangel Michael appeared at the temple, and with a blow of his staff, opened a wide fissure in a rock and commanded the rushing torrents of water to flow into it. The temple remained unharmed. Seeing such an awesome miracle, the pagans fled in terror. Archippus and the Christians gathered in church glorified God and gave thanks to the holy Archangel Michael for the help. The place where the rivers plunged into the fissure received the name Chonae, which means plunging. 6 Σεπτεµβρίου Ἀπολυτίκιον. Ἦχος πλ. α. Ὡς νεφέ η ὡράθης ἐπισκιάζουσα, Μιχαὴ Ταξιάρχα τῷ σῷ ἁγίῳ ναῷ, ὑετίζων δαψιλῶς ὕδωρ ἀθάνατον ὅθεν ὡς ἄ ην κιβωτόν, διεφύ αξας αὐτόν, καὶ ῥείθρων τῶν ποταμίων, τὸν ῥοῦν ἠκόντισας πόρρω, πρὸς εὐφροσύνην τῶν ψυχῶν ἡμῶν. Κοντάκιον. Ἦχος β. Τοὺς ἀσφαλεῖς. Ὁ τῇ Τριάδι παρεστὼς ὁ όφωτος, μετὰ πασῶν τῶν οὐρανίων τάξεων, καὶ τὸ ἔνθεον μελῴδημα, σὺν αὐταῖς ἀναφωνῶν Μιχαή, καὶ τὴ γῆν θείᾳ νεύσει διερχόμενος, καὶ τέρασι μεγίστοις θαυμαζόμενος, μὴ παύσῃ πρεσβεύων, ὑπὲρ πάντων ἡμῶν. Μεγαλυνάριον. Κρήνην ἰαμάτων ἀνε ιπῆ, τὸν σὸν θεῖον οἶκον, ἀναδείξας ἐν Κολοσσαῖς, ψυχῶν σωτηρίαν, καὶ τῶν σωμάτων ῥῶσιν, ἐν τούτῳ ἀπεργάζῃ, Μιχαὴ ἔνδοξε.
