CPR CLASS FOR ALL PARISH COUNCIL MEMBERS All current Parish Council members, as well as newly elected/appointed members, are asked to attend a CPR class, specifically scheduled for the Parish Council, on Saturday, February 7, 2015, at 10:00 am at the Hellenic Cultural Center. Please mark your calendars. HELP NEEDED IN MONITORING UPSTAIRS Greek School and Sunday School staff members and especially parents are asked to assist in monitoring the upstairs classrooms and bathrooms during all class sessions and gatherings. The Cathedral staff asks that you turn off ALL lights before exiting the Hellenic Cultural Center, including the Upstairs Commons Area. Also, you are asked to monitor the upstairs bathrooms since a problem of wasting paper products has prevailed for several weeks, particularly in the girls bathroom. Your assistance in curtailing the wastefulness of janitorial supplies and unnecessary utility usage will be greatly appreciated. PTA VASILOPITA FUNDRAISER Under the supervision of Evangelia Bilalis, Holy Trinity Cathedral PTA volunteers baked loaves of the traditional St. Basil's sweet bread, which will be sold today, December 14, and next Sunday, December 21, in the Coffee Room. Each loaf is $10; all loaves are one size. Please see Stephanie Malachias and Sandy Stavrakakis to purchase your New Year's bread. Special thanks are extended to Evangelia and her assistants for working on this project. The Holy Hieromartyr Eleftherios, Bishop of Illyricum St. Eleftherios had Rome as his homeland. Orphaned of his father from childhood, he was taken by his mother Anthia to Anicetus, the Bishop of Rome (some call him Anencletus or Anacletus), by whom he was instructed in the divine Scriptures. Though still very young in years, he was made Bishop of Illyricum by reason of his surpassing virtue and of his teachings, which converted many unbelievers to Christ. However, during a most harsh persecution that was raised against the Christians under Hadrian (reigned 117-138), the Saint was arrested by the tyrants. Enduring many torments for Christ, he was finally put to death by two soldiers about the year 126. As for his Christ-loving mother Anthia, she was also beheaded while embracing the remains of her son and kissing them with maternal affection. Message from Father George Preparing for Regular Communion by Participating in Confession The other day in Bible Study the topic of Confession came up, and I was reminded of a comment that I heard from a former parishioner in Denver. I was speaking in an informal group at a coffee hour when I suggested that they consider participating in the Sacrament of Penance Holy Confession. One of the parishioners turned to me and said, Father, isn t Confession just for the Roman Catholics? I was saddened but not surprised. Often in training our youth in the Faith, we present opportunities at retreats or summer camps for them to participate in Confession. But, between youth and young adults, when is it decided that the teaching of this beautiful healing ministry of the Church should become optional? The Sacraments of Baptism, Chrismation (or Confirmation), Holy Communion, Holy Unction, and Holy Confession are not optional but obligatory for an Orthodox Christian. The Sacraments that are optional are Matrimony and Ordination. Confession should be considered akin to our annual physical examination by our physician. The physical exam can address a physical ailment before it becomes worse, and so it is also with Confession. But, rather than the examination of our bodies, it is an examination of our souls or spirit. It allows us to unload any spiritual baggage that may be troubling and keeping us from progressing in our spiritual growth in Christ. As we continue this Advent (Nativity) Fast for another week and a half, plan to schedule your confession to truly prepare your spiritual body for the great feast day of our Lord s Nativity Christmas. EPIPHANY APPLICATIONS DUE THIS WEEK All Dover Bear and Cross Retriever candidate forms must be submitted to the Cathedral office this Friday, December 19, 2014, in order to participate in the 2015 Epiphany Celebration.

Resurrectional Apolytikion Tone 2 When You descended unto death, O Lord Who Yourself are immortal Life, then did You mortify Hades by the lightning flash of Your Divinity. Also when You raised the dead from the netherworld, all the Powers of the heavens were crying out: O Giver of life, Christ our God, glory be to You. Apolytikion of the Forefathers Tone 2 By faith did You justify the Forefathers, when through them You did betroth Yourself aforetime to the Church from among the nations. The Saints boast in glory that from their seed there is a glorious fruit, even she that bare You seedlessly. By their prayers, O Christ God, save our souls. Apolytikion of the Holy Trinity Plagal Tone 4 Blessed are You, O Christ our God, who made fishermen all-wise, sending upon them the Holy Spirit and, through them, netting the world. O Loving One, glory to You. Kontakion Tone 3 On this day the Virgin cometh to the cave to give birth to God the Word ineffably, Who was before all the ages. Dance for joy, O earth, on hearing the gladsome tidings; with the Angels and the shepherds now glorify Him Who is willing to be gazed on as a young Child Who before the ages is God.
ΑΠΟΣΤΟΛΟΣ Κολοσσαεῖς γ 4-11 Εὐλογητὸς εἶ, Κύριε, ὁ Θεὸς τῶν Πατέρων ἡμῶν. Στίχ. Ὅτι δίκαιος εἶ ἐπὶ πᾶσιν, οἷς ἐποίησας ἡμῖν. Ἀδελφοί, ὅταν ὁ Χριστὸς φανερωθῇ, ἡ ζωὴ ἡμῶν, τότε καὶ ὑμεῖς σὺν αὐτῷ φανερωθήσεσθε ἐν δόξῃ. Νεκρώσατε οὖν τὰ μέλη ὑμῶν τὰ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, πορνείαν, ἀκαθαρσίαν, πάθος, ἐπιθυμίαν κακήν, καὶ τὴν πλεονεξίαν, ἥτις ἐστὶν εἰδωλολατρεία, διʼ ἃ ἔρχεται ἡ ὀργὴ τοῦ θεοῦ ἐπὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς τῆς ἀπειθείας Ἐν οἷς καὶ ὑμεῖς περιεπατήσατέ ποτε, ὅτε ἐζῆτε ἐν αὐτοῖς. Νυνὶ δὲ ἀπόθεσθε καὶ ὑμεῖς τὰ πάντα, ὀργήν, θυμόν, κακίαν, βλασφημίαν, αἰσχρολογίαν ἐκ τοῦ στόματος ὑμῶν μὴ ψεύδεσθε εἰς ἀλλήλους, ἀπεκδυσάμενοι τὸν παλαιὸν ἄνθρωπον σὺν ταῖς πράξεσιν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐνδυσάμενοι τὸν νέον, τὸν ἀνακαινούμενον εἰς ἐπίγνωσιν κατʼ εἰκόνα τοῦ κτίσαντος αὐτόν ὅπου οὐκ ἔνι Ἕλλην καὶ Ἰουδαῖος, περιτομὴ καὶ ἀκροβυστία, βάρβαρος, Σκύθης, δοῦλος, ἐλεύθερος ἀλλὰ τὰ πάντα καὶ ἐν πᾶσιν Χριστός. THE EPISTLE Colossians 3:4-11 Blessed are you, O Lord, the God of our fathers. For you are just in all you have done. BRETHREN, when Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: fornication, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. On account of these the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience. In these you once walked, when you lived in them. But now put them all away; anger, wrath, malice, slander, and foul talk from your mouth. Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old nature with its practices and have put on the new nature, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator. Here there cannot be Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free man, but Christ is all, and in all. ΕΥΑΓΓΕΛΙΟΝ Λουκᾶν ιδ 16-24 Εἶπεν ὁ Κύριος τήν παραβολὴν ταύτην Ἄνθρωπός τις ἐποίησε δεῖπνον μέγα καὶ ἐκάλεσε πολλούς καὶ ἀπέστειλε τὸν δοῦλον αὐτοῦ τῇ ὥρᾳ τοῦ δείπνου εἰπεῖν τοῖς κεκλημένοις ἔρχεσθε, ὅτι ἤδη ἕτοιμά ἐστι πάντα. καὶ ἤρξαντο ἀπὸ μιᾶς παραιτεῖσθαι πάντες. ὁ πρῶτος εἶπεν αὐτῷ ἀγρὸν ἠγόρασα, καὶ ἔχω ἀνάγκην ἐξελθεῖν καὶ ἰδεῖν αὐτόν ἐρωτῶ σε, ἔχε με παρῃτημένον. καὶ ἕτερος εἶπε ζεύγη βοῶν ἠγόρασα πέντε, καὶ πορεύομαι δοκιμάσαι αὐτά ἐρωτῶ σε, ἔχε με παρῃτημένον. καὶ ἕτερος εἶπε γυναῖκα ἔγημα, καὶ διὰ τοῦτο οὐ δύναμαι ἐλθεῖν. καὶ παραγενόμενος ὁ δοῦλος ἐκεῖνος ἀπήγγειλε τῷ κυρίῳ αὐτοῦ ταῦτα. τότε ὀργισθεὶς ὁ οἰκοδεσπότης εἶπε τῷ δούλῳ αὐτοῦ ἔξελθε ταχέως εἰς τὰς πλατείας καὶ ῥύμας τῆς πόλεως, καὶ τοὺς πτωχοὺς καὶ ἀναπήρους καὶ χωλοὺς καὶ τυφλοὺς εἰσάγαγε ὧδε. καὶ εἶπεν ὁ δοῦλος κύριε, γέγονεν ὡς ἐπέταξας, καὶ ἔτι τόπος ἐστί. καὶ εἶπεν ὁ κύριος πρὸς τὸν δοῦλον ἔξελθε εἰς τὰς ὁδοὺς καὶ φραγμοὺς καὶ ἀνάγκασον εἰσελθεῖν, ἵνα γεμισθῇ ὁ οἶκος μου. λέγω γὰρ ὑμῖν ὅτι οὐδεὶς τῶν ἀνδρῶν ἐκείνων τῶν κεκλημένων γεύσεταί μου τοῦ δείπνου. Πολλοί γὰρ εἰσιν κλητοί, ὀλίγοι δέ ἐκλεκτοί. THE GOSPEL Luke 14:16-24 The Lord said this parable: "A man once gave a great banquet, and invited many; and at the time of the banquet he sent his servant to say to those who had been invited, 'Come; for all is now ready.' But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said to him, 'I have bought a field, and I go out and see it; I pray you, have me excused.' And another said, 'I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I must go to examine them; I pray you, have me excused.' And another said, 'I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.' So the servant came and reported this to his master. Then the householder in anger said to his servant, 'Go out quickly to the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in the poor and maimed and blind and lame.' And the servant said, 'Sir, what you commanded has been done, and there is still room.' And the master said to the servant, 'Go out to the highways and hedges, and compel people to come in, that my house may be filled. For I tell you, none of those men who were invited shall taste my banquet. For many are called, but few are chosen.'"
