Τοῦ λίθου σφραγισθέντος ὑπὸ τῶν Ἰουδαίων,
καὶ στρατιωτῶν φυλασσόντων τὸ ἄχραντόν

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.

O Protection of Christians unshamable,

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.

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.

SAINTS AND FEASTS
St. Elizabeth,
Mother of the Forerunner-June 24
The Holy Prophet Zacharias, father of St. John the Forerunner, was the son of Barachias, of the tribe of Aaron,
a high priest in descent from Abia, and held the eighth
degree of service in the Temple in Jerusalem.
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."

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.

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.
