Διὰ τοῦτο αἱ Δυνάμεις τῶν οὐρανῶν ἐβόων σοι Ζωοδότα· Δόξα τῇ ἀναστάσει σου Χριστέ, δόξα τῇ Βασιλείᾳ σου, δόξα τῇ οἰκονομίᾳ σου, μόνε Φιλάνθρωπε. The stone had been secured with a seal by the Judeans, and a guard of soldiers was watching Your immaculate body. You rose on the third day, O Lord and Savior, granting life unto the world. And therefore the powers of heaven cried to You, O Giverof-Life: Glory to Your resurrection, O Christ; glory to Your kingdom; glory to Your dispensation, only One who loves mankind. Apolytikion of St. Nicholas Απολυτίκιον τοῦ Αγίου Νικολάου Κανόνα πίστεως και εικόνα πραότητος, εγκρατείας διδάσκαλον, ανέδειξέ σε τη ποίμνη σου, η των πραγμάτων αλήθεια δια τούτο εκτήσω τη ταπεινώσει τα υψηλά, τη πτωχεία τα πλούσια, Πάτερ Ιεράρχα Νικόλαε, πρέσβευε Χριστώ τω Θεώ, σωθήναι τας ψυχάς ημών. As rule of the faith and picture of gentleness, and teacher of temperance you were exhibited to your flock, by the truth of the evidence, Thus you acquired the lofty through humility, the abundant through poverty. O Father and Hierarch Nicholas, intercede with Christ our God, that our souls may be saved. Κοντάκιον της Ημέρας Kontakion of the Day O Protection of Christians unshamable, mediation with the Creator immovable, we sinners beg you, do not despise the voices of our prayers, but anticipate, since you are good, and swiftly come unto our aid as we cry out to you with faith: Hurry to intercession, and hasten to supplication, O Theotokos who defend now and ever those who honor you. Προστασία τῶν Χριστιανῶν ἀκαταίσχυντε, μεσιτεία πρὸς τὸν Ποιητὴν ἀμετάθετε. Μὴ παρίδῃς ἁμαρτωλῶν δεήσεων φωνάς, ἀλλὰ πρόφθασον, ὡς ἀγαθή, εἰς τὴν βοήθειαν ἡμῶν, τῶν πιστῶς κραυγαζόντων σοι· Τάχυνον εἰς πρεσβείαν, καὶ σπεῦσον εἰς ἱκεσίαν, ἡ προστατεύουσα ἀεί, Θεοτόκε, τῶν τιμώντων σε. 4 Ο ΑΠΟΣΤΟΛΟΣ ΤΟ ΕΥΑΓΓΕΛΙΟΝ Πρὸς ῾Ρωμαίους 2:10-16 St. Paul's Letter to the Romans 2:10-16 δοξα δε και τιμη και ειρηνη εις παντα τον εργαζομενον το αγαθον, Ιουδαιον τε πρωτον και Ελληνα· 11επειδη δεν ειναι προσωποληψια παρα τω Θεω. 12Διοτι οσοι ημαρτησαν χωρις νομου, θελουσι και απολεσθη χωρις νομου· και οσοι ημαρτησαν υπο νομον, θελουσι κριθη δια νομου. 13Διοτι δεν ειναι δικαιοι παρα τω Θεω οι ακροαται του νομου, αλλ' οι εκτελεσται του νομου θελουσι δικαιωθη. 14Επειδη οταν οι εθνικοι οι μη εχοντες νομον πραττωσιν εκ φυσεως τα του νομου, ουτοι νομον μη εχοντες ειναι νομος εις εαυτους, 15 οιτινες δεικνυουσι το εργον του νομου γεγραμμενον εν ταις καρδιαις αυτων, εχοντες συμμαρτυρουσαν την συνειδησιν αυτων και τους λογισμους κατηγορουντας η και απολογουμενους μεταξυ αλληλων, 16εν τη ημερα οτε θελει κρινει ο Θεος τα κρυπτα των ανθρωπων δια του Ιησου Χριστου κατα το ευαγγελιον μου. Brethren, glory and honor and peace for every one who does good, the Jew first and also the Greek. For God shows no partiality. All who have sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law. For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified. When Gentiles who have not the law do by nature what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. They show that what the law requires is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness and their conflicting thoughts accuse or perhaps excuse them on that day when, according to my gospel, God judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus.

THE GOSPEL Matthew 4:18-23 At that time, as Jesus walked by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. And he said to them, "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." Immediately they left their nets and followed him. And going on from there he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets, and he called them. Immediately they left their boat and their father, and followed him. And he went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every infirmity among the people. 5 PRAYER LIST If you would like us to remember you or your loved one in our prayers, please contact the office.

His wife, Elisabeth was sister to St. Anna, the mother of the holy Mother of God. In the reign of King Herod, the child-slayer, Zacharias was serving one day in his turn in the Temple in Jerusalem. An angel of God appeared to him in the altar, and Zacharias was afraid. But the angel said to him: Fear not, Zacharias," and informed him that his wife Elisabeth would bear a son in answer to their prayers, for Zacharias and Elisabeth were both old. When Zacharias doubted the words of the heavenly messenger, the angel told him: "I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God," And Zacharias was made dumb from that moment, and did not speak until his son was born and he had written on a tablet: "His name is John." Then his mouth was opened, and he glorified God. Later, when the Lord Christ was born and Herod began killing the children in Bethlehem, he sent men to find Zacharias's son and kill him, for he had heard of all that had happened to Zacharias and how John was born. Seeing the soldiers, Elisabeth took John in her arms -he was eighteen months old at that time -- and fled from the house with him to a rocky and desert region. When she saw where the soldiers had driven them, she cried out to the mountain "O mountain of God, receive a mother with her child!" and the rock opened and hid the mother and child inside itself. Herod, furious that John had not been killed, ordered that Zacharias be cut down before the altar. Zacharias's blood spilled over the marble and became as hard as stone, remaining thus as a witness to Herod's wickedness. At the place where Elisabeth hid with John, a cave opened and a spring flowed forth, and a fruit-bearing palm grew up by God's power. Forty days after Zacharias's death, blessed Elisabeth Nativity of the Forerunner John the Baptist-June 24 He that was greater than all who are born of women, the Prophet who received God's testimony that he surpassed all the Prophets, was born of the aged and barren Elizabeth (Luke 1: 7) and filled all his kinsmen, and those that lived round about, with gladness and wonder. But even more wondrous was that which followed on the eighth day when he was circumcised, that is, the day on which a male child receives his name. Those present called him Zacharias, the name of his father. But the mother said, "Not so, but he shall be called John." Since the child's father was unable to speak, he was asked, by means of a sign, to indicate the child's name. He then asked for a tablet and wrote, "His name is John." And immediately Zacharias' mouth was opened, his tongue was loosed from its silence of nine months, and filled with the Holy Spirit, he blessed the God of Israel, Who had fulfilled the promises made to their fathers, and had visited them that were sitting in darkness and the shadow of death, and had sent to them the light of salvation. Zacharias prophesied concerning the child also, saying that he would be a Prophet of the Most High and Forerunner of Jesus Christ. And the child John, who was filled with grace, grew and waxed strong in the Spirit; and he was in the wilderness until the day of his showing to Israel (Luke 1:57-80). His name is a variation of the Hebrew "Johanan," which means "Yah is gracious." 7 ΤΟ ΓΕΝΕΘΛΙΟ ΤΟΥ ΤΙΜΙΟΥ ΠΡΟΔΡΟΜΟΥ-24 Ιουνίου Ο ΑΓΙΟΣ ΣΑΜΨΩΝ ό Ξενοδόχος- 27 Ιουνίου Έτσι προφήτευσε ό προφήτης Ησαΐας για τον Πρόδρομο του Κυρίου, Ιωάννη: "Φωνή βοώντος εν τη ερήμω, ετοιμάσατε την όδόν Κυρίου, ευθείας ποιείτε τας τρίβους αυτού"1. Δηλαδή, φωνή ανθρώπου, πού φωνάζει στην έρημο και λέει: "Ετοιμάστε το δρόμο, απ' όπου θα έλθει ό Κύριος σε σας. Κάνετε ίσιους και ομαλούς τους δρόμους, από τους οποίους θα περάσει". Ξεριζώστε, δηλαδή, από τις ψυχές σας τα αγκάθια των αμαρτωλών παθών και ρίξτε μακριά τα λιθάρια του εγωισμού και της πώρωσης και καθαρίστε με μετάνοια το εσωτερικό σας, για να δεχθεί τον Κύριο. Ή φωνή αυτή, πού ήταν ό Ιωάννης, γεννήθηκε με θαυμαστό τρόπο. Ό Πατέρας του Ζαχαρίας ήταν Ιερέας. Την ώρα του θυμιάματος μέσα στο θυσιαστήριο, είδε άγγελο Κυρίου, πού του ανήγγειλε, ότι θα αποκτούσε γιο και θα ονομαζόταν Ιωάννης. Ό Ζαχαρίας σκίρτησε από χαρά, αλλά δυσπίστησε. Ή γυναίκα του ήταν στείρα και γριά, πώς θα γινόταν αυτό πού άκουγε; Τότε ό άγγελος του είπε ότι για να τιμωρηθεί ή δυσπιστία του, μέχρι να πραγματοποιηθεί ή βουλή του Θεού, αυτός θα έμενε κωφάλαλος. Πράγματι, ή Ελισάβετ συνέλαβε, και μετά εννιά μήνες έκανε γιο. Μετά οκτώ ήμερες, στην περιτομή του παιδιού, οι συγγενείς θέλησαν να του δώσουν το όνομα του πατέρα του, Ζαχαρία. Όμως, ό Ζαχαρίας, έγραψε επάνω σε πινακίδιο το όνομα Ιωάννης. Αμέσως δε, λύθηκε ή γλώσσα του, και ή χαρά για όλους ήταν μεγάλη2. 1.'Ησαΐα, μ'3 . 2. Ευαγγέλιο Λουκά, α' 5-8. Γεννήθηκε στη Ρώμη από γονείς πλουσίους και ευσεβείς. Ευφυής καθώς ήταν, σπούδασε φιλολογία, φιλοσοφία και ιατρική. Άλλα ό Σαμψών, εκτός από ευφυΐα, είχε και πνεύμα Θεού. Γι' αυτό μεταχειρίσθηκε την ιατρική όχι σαν επικερδές επάγγελμα, αλλά για ευεργετικούς και φιλανθρωπικούς σκοπούς. 'Οδηγός στη ζωή για το Σαμψών, ήταν ή εντολή του Κυρίου: "Γίνεσθε ούν οίκτίρμονες, καθώς και ό πατήρ υμών οίκτίρμων εστί"1. Να γίνεστε, δηλαδή, ευσπλαχνικοί στον πλησίον και συμπονετικοί στις δυστυχίες και στις ανάγκες του, καθώς και ό ουράνιος Πατέρας σας είναι ευσπλαχνικός σε όλους σας. Έτσι και ό Σαμψών, ήταν προστάτης γιατρός των φτωχών. Έμπαινε σε κάθε σπίτι πού είχε ανάγκη και έδινε στους δυστυχισμένους ασθενείς του ιατρική βοήθεια, αλλά και παρηγοριά. Έναν ολόκληρο όροφο του σπιτιού του είχε μετατρέψει σε νοσοκομείο και περιέθαλπε πάσχοντες αστέγους. Όταν πέθαναν οι γονείς του, με τον 'ίδιο τρόπο ό Σαμψών συνέχισε τη ζωή του στην Κωνσταντινούπολη. Ή φήμη του προσείλκυσε την εύνοια και αυτού του αυτοκράτορα Ιουστινιανού (541 μ.Χ.). Άλλα και ό Πατριάρχης Μηνάς, βλέποντας το έργο και την αρετή του Σαμψών, τον χειροτόνησε Ιερέα. Με όση περιουσία του απέμεινε, έκτισε μεγάλο νοσοκομείο, πού αναδείχθηκε σε φημισμένο φιλανθρωπικό 'ίδρυμα. Εκεί ό Σαμψών, σε βαθειά γεράματα, γαλήνια απεβίωσε. 1.
