7 Δεκεμβρίου, 2014 Ι’ Λουκᾶ 10th Sunday of Luke December 7, 2014 Το Συναξάριον Tοῦ ὁσίου Πατρὸς ἡμῶν Ἀμβροσίου, Ἐπισκόπου Μεδιολάνων The Synaxarion Our devout Father St. Ambrose Bishop of Milan Ὰπολυτίκια Ὰναστάσιμον 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. Resurrec onal Apoly kion 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, gran ng life unto the world. * And therefore the powers of heaven cried to You, O Giver‐of‐Life: * Glory to Your resurrec on, O Christ; * glory to Your kingdom; * glory to Your dispensa on, only One who loves mankind. Του Ναοῦ Τῶν οὐρανίων στρατιῶν Ἀρχιστράτηγοι, δυσωποῦμεν ὑμᾶς ἡμεῖς οἱ ἀνάξιοι, ἵνα ταῖς ὑμῶν δεήσεσι, τειχίσητε ἡμᾶς, σκέπῃ τῶν πτερύγων, τῆς ἀΰλου ὑμῶν δόξης, φρουροῦντες ἡμᾶς προσπίπτοντας, ἐκτενῶς καὶ βοῶντας· Ἐκ τῶν κινδύνων λυτρώσασθε ἡμᾶς, ὡς Ταξιάρχαι τῶν ἄνω Δυνάμεων. Hymn of our Church O Chief Commanders of the heavenly armies, * we the unworthy ones entreat you in earnest, * that you might with your supplica ons for fy us, * guarding us who run to you and beneath the protec on * of the pinions of your immaterial glory, * and who with fervor shout: Deliver us, * from every danger, as Captains of the hosts on high. Κοντάκιον Η 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. Kontakion On this day the Virgin Maid * goes to the gro o to give birth * to the pre‐eternal Word * in an ineﬀable manner. * Dance for joy, all the inhabited earth, on hearing. * Glorify along with Angels and with the shepherds * Him who willed that He appear as * a newborn Child, * the pre‐eternal God.

Epistle — Ephesians 5:8‐19 δελφοί, 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. rethren, 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 unfrui ul 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 me, 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. Εὺαγγέλιον — κατὰ Λουκᾶν 13:10‐17 Gospel — Luke 13:20‐17 Τ
ῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ, ἦν διδάσκων ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐν μιᾷ τῶν συναγωγῶν ἐν τοῖς σάββασι. καὶ ἰδοὺ γυνὴ ἦν πνεῦμα ἔχουσα ἀσθενείας ἔτη δέκα καὶ ὀκτώ, καὶ ἦν συγκύπτουσα καὶ μὴ δυναμένη ἀνακύψαι εἰς τὸ παντελές. ἰδὼν δὲ αὐτὴν ὁ Ἰησοῦς προσεφώνησε καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ· Γύναι, ἀπολέλυσαι τῆς ἀσθενείας σου· καὶ ἐπέθηκεν αὐτῇ τὰς χεῖρας· καὶ παραχρῆμα ἀνωρθώθη καὶ ἐδόξαζε τὸν Θεόν. ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ ἀρχισυνάγωγος, ἀγανακτῶν ὅτι τῷ σαββάτῳ ἐθεράπευσεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς, ἔλεγε τῷ ὄχλῳ· Ἓξ ἡμέραι εἰσὶν ἐν αἷς δεῖ ἐργάζεσθαι· ἐν ταύταις οὖν ἐρχόμενοι θεραπεύεσθε, καὶ μὴ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τοῦ σαββάτου. ἀπεκρίθη οὖν αὐτῷ ὁ Κύριος καὶ εἶπεν· Ὑποκριτά· ἕκαστος ὑμῶν τῷ σαββάτῳ οὐ λύει τὸν βοῦν αὐτοῦ ἢ τὸν ὄνον ἀπὸ τῆς φάτνης καὶ ἀπαγαγὼν ποτίζει; ταύτην δὲ, θυγατέρα Ἀβραὰμ οὖσαν, ἣν ἔδησεν ὁ σατανᾶς ἰδοὺ δέκα καὶ ὀκτὼ ἔτη, οὐκ ἔδει λυθῆναι ἀπὸ τοῦ δεσμοῦ τούτου τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τοῦ σαββάτου; καὶ ταῦτα λέγοντος αὐτοῦ κατῃσχύνοντο πάντες οἱ ἀντικείμενοι αὐτῷ, καὶ πᾶς ὁ ὄχλος ἔχαιρεν ἐπὶ πᾶσι τοῖς ἐνδόξοις τοῖς γινομένοις ὑπ' αὐτοῦ. A
t that me, Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath. And there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity for eighteen years; she was bent over and could not fully straighten herself. And when Jesus saw her, he called her and said to her, "Woman, you are freed from your infirmity." And he laid his hands upon her, and immediately she was made straight, and she praised God. But the ruler of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had healed on the sabbath, said to the people, "There are six days on which work ought to be done; come on those days and be healed, and not on the sabbath day." Then the Lord answered him, "You hypocrites! Does not each of you on the sabbath un e his ox or his donkey from the manger, and lead it away to water it? And ought not this woman, a daughter of Abraham whom Satan bound for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?" As he said this, all his adversaries were put to shame; and all the people rejoiced at all the glorious things that were done by him. St. Spyridon the
Wonderworker
December 12 Spyridon, the Godbearing Father of the
Church, the great
defender of Corfu and
the boast of all the
Orthodox, had Cyprus as
his homeland. He was simple in manner and
humble of heart, and was a shepherd of
sheep. When he was joined to a wife, he begat
of her a daughter whom they named Irene.
After his wife's departure from this life, he
was appointed Bishop of Trimythus, and thus
he became also a shepherd of rational sheep.
When the First Ecumenical Council was
assembled in Nicaea, he also was present, and
by means of his most simple words stopped
the mouths of the Arians who were wise in
their own conceit. By the divine grace which
dwelt in him, he wrought such great wonders
that he received the surname
'Wonderworker." So it is that, having tended
his flock piously and in a manner pleasing to
God, he reposed in the Lord about the year
350, leaving to his country his sacred relics as
a consolation and source of healing for the
faithful.
About the middle of the seventh century,
because of the incursions made by the
barbarians at that time, his sacred relics were
taken to Constantinople, where they
remained, being honoured by the emperors
themselves. But before the fall of
Constantinople, which took place on May 29,
1453, a certain priest named George
Kalokhairetes, the parish priest of the church
where the Saint's sacred relics, as well as
those of Saint Theodora the Empress, were
kept, took them away on account of the
impending peril. Travelling by way of Serbia,
he came as far as Arta in Epirus, a region in
Western Greece opposite to the isle of Corfu.
From there, while the misfortunes of the
Christian people were increasing with every
day, he passed over to Corfu about the year
1460. The relics of Saint Theodora were given
to the people of Corfu; but those of Saint
Spyridon remain to this day, according to the
rights of inheritance, the most precious
treasure of the priest's own descendants, and
they continue to be a staff for the faithful in
Orthodoxy, and a supernatural wonder for
those that behold him; for even after the
passage of 1,500 years, they have remained
incorrupt, and even the flexibility of his flesh
has been preserved. Truly wondrous is God
in His Saints! (Ps. 67:3 5)
Apolytikion of Spyridon the Wonderworker
in the First Tone
O Father, God-bearer, Spyridon, you were
proven a champion and Wonder Worker of
the First Ecumenical Council. You spoke to
the girl in the grave and turned the serpent to
gold. And, when chanting your prayers, most
sacred One, angels ministered with you.
Glory to Him who glorified you; glory to Him
who crowned you; glory to Him who,
through you, works healing for all.
Kontakion of Spyridon the Wonderworker
in the Second Tone
Wounded by your love for Christ, O holy
One, your mind given wings by the radiance
of the Spirit, you put the practice of theory
into deeds, becoming a sacred altar, O Chosen
by God, and praying for the divine
illumination of all.

Each ornament represents a special life,
For whom we will make Christmas day bright.
An age, a name and wish are provided,

the rich man is not one who has much, but one who
gives much. For what he gives away remains his
forever.
The Gifts of the Magi icon presents the Wise Men offering gifts of gold,
frankincense and myrrh to the Christ Child. These wealthy scholars and priests
of the East endured numerous dangers, and traveled great distances to offer
their treasures to Christ, the newborn king. What a beautiful and meaningful
example of stewardship they set for all future generations, helping us to
understand the blessing of properly using and sharing God’s gifts.
