Deliver me from the rich man’s lack of love and from his selfishness, O Christ my God, who through Thy Cross hast cleansed us from our sins.

Τῶν Ἀποστόλων δυὰς ἱερωτάτη, ἕνα τῆς Τριάδος σε, ἐπισταμένη Χριστέ, νῦν παρὰ σοῦ ἀποστέλλεται, ἀγάγαι πῶλον, ὑποζυγίου υἱὸν ὡς γέγραπται, ἐφ΄ ᾧ ταπεινούμενος, καθίσεις εὔσπλαγχνε, τὴν ἐν ὑψίστοις θελήματι, καθέδραν πᾶσι, τοῖς σὲ ποθοῦσιν ἑτοιμαζόμενος, καὶ τοὺς ἀλόγοις ὑποκύψαντας, φρενοβλαβῶς Λόγε πάθεσι λογισμούς ἀπεργάσω. Ὡσαννά σοι ἀνακράζοντας.	Two of the holy apostles, knowing that Thou, O Christ, art one of the Trinity, now are sent by Thee to bring the colt of an ass in fulfillment of the prophecy. And humbling Thyself, O compassionate Lord, Thou shalt sit upon it, who dost make ready by Thy will a seat in the highest for all that love Thee. And those who in their folly have submitted to unreasoning passions, Thou hast made, O Word, to cry aloud to Thee: Hosanna! [KW]
Ἦχος δʹ. Ὁ ἐξ ὑψίστου κληθείς.	Mode 4. (NM) When you were called.

Ἐὰν ἀνομίας παρατηρήσῃς, Κύριε Κύριε, τίς ὑποστήσεται; ὅτι παρὰ σοὶ ὁ ἱλασμός ἐστιν.	If You, O Lord, should mark transgression, O Lord, who would stand? For there is forgiveness with You. [SAAS]
Καθυποδέχου Σιὼν τὸν Βασιλέα, ἰδού σοι πρᾳότατος, ἤδη ἐφίσταται, ἐξαναστῆσαι τὸν Λάζαρον, καὶ καταλῦσαι, τὸ τοῦ θανάτου πικρὸν βασίλειον. Πληθὺς θεοσύλλεκτε, τῶν ἱερῶν Μοναστῶν, μετὰ Μιγάδων ἀθροίσθητε, καθυπαντῆσαι, μετὰ Βαΐων Χριστῷ κραυγάζοντες· Εὐλογημένος ὁ ἐρχόμενος, σῶσαι γένος βροτῶν διὰ πάθους Σταυροῦ, καὶ ἀπάθειαν πᾶσι, παρασχεῖν διʹ ἀγαθότητα.	Receive thy King, O Zion. For see, He comes to thee now in meekness, to raise up Lazarus and to destroy the bitter kingdom of death. Summoned by God, let all the multitude of holy monks and lay people assemble, to welcome Christ with palms and cry: Blessed is He who comes to save mortal men through the Passion of the Cross, and to grant in His love freedom from the passions unto all.

Ἦχος πλ. δʹ. Ὁ ἐν Ἐδὲμ Παράδεισος.	Mode pl. 4. N/M (The paradise of Eden.)

Ἕνεκεν τοῦ ὀνόματός σου ὑπέμεινά σε, Κύριε, ὑπέμεινεν ἡ ψυχή μου εἰς τὸν λόγον σου. Ἤλπισεν ἡ ψυχή μου ἐπὶ τὸν Κύριον.	Because of Your law, O Lord, I waited for You; my soul waited for Your word. My soul hopes in the Lord. [SAAS]
Ὁ Σεραφὶμ τοῖς ἄνω φοβερός, Χριστὲ ἐποχούμενος, ὡς Θεός τε καὶ τῶν ὅλων ποιητής, αὐτὸς ἐν πώλῳ ἐπὶ γῆς, καθεσθῆναι ἐπείγεσαι, ὡς ὑπάρχων καθʹ ἡμᾶς ἀνθρωπικῶς, ἡ Βηθανία ἀγάλλεται, ὡς δεχομένη σε Σωτήρ, Ἱεροσόλυμα χαίρει δέ, ὡς προσδοκῶντά σε λαβεῖν, θάνατος τέθνηκε, προαισθόμενος τὸν Λάζαρον, φοιτᾶν ἐκ τῶν νεκρῶν, καὶ ἡμεῖς τοῖς Βαΐοις, προϋπαντὴν τελοῦντες ἐν χαρᾷ, ἀνυμνοῦμεν τὸ κράτος, τῆς ἀγαθότητός σου Κύριε.	O Christ, who art borne on high by the dread seraphim, as God and Creator of all, Thou dost make haste to ride on earth upon a colt, as a man like us. Bethany rejoices greatly to receive Thee, O Saviour, and Jerusalem is glad as it awaits expectantly to welcome Thee. Death has been slain, and as a foretaste of the coming Resurrection it sees Lazarus return from the dead. In joy we go to meet Thee with palms, praising the power of Thy love, O Lord. [KW]

Let us believers extol now in hymns of worthy praise * St. Mark the wise Disciple, the great patron of Egypt, * for he wrote down the Gospel inspired by God. * Let us piously say to him, * “As an Apostle, by prayers and teachings guide * one and all to truly tranquil life.” [SD]
Ὅτι παρὰ τῷ Κυρίῳ τὸ ἔλεος καὶ πολλὴ παρʼ αὐτῷ λύτρωσις, καὶ αὐτὸς λυτρώσεται τὸν Ἰσραὴλ ἐκ πασῶν τῶν ἀνομιῶν αὐτοῦ.	For with the Lord there is mercy, and with Him is abundant redemption; and He shall redeem Israel from all his transgressions. [SAAS]
Τῶν θεηγόρων λογίων, τὸν συγγραφέα πιστοί, καὶ τῆς Αἰγύπτου μέγαν, πολιοῦχον ἀξίως, ὑμνήσωμεν βοῶντες· Μᾶρκε σοφέ, διδαχαῖς καὶ πρεσβείαις σου, πρὸς τὸν ἀκύμονα βίον πάντας ἡμᾶς, ὡς Ἀπόστολος ὁδήγησον.

You were the travel companion of Chosen Vessel Paul. * You went through all the land of Macedonia with him. * And when you got to Rome you indeed became Peter’s sweetest interpreter. * Then you contested in Egypt worthy of God, * and reposed there, wise Evangelist Mark. [SD]
Ὅτι ἐκραταιώθη τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ ἐφʼ ἡμᾶς, καὶ ἡ ἀλήθεια τοῦ Κυρίου μένει εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.	For His mercy rules over us; and the truth of the Lord endures forever. [SAAS]
Τὰς κεκαυμένας καὶ χέρσους, ψυχὰς ἐλίπανας, ταῖς φαειναῖς νιφάσι, ταῖς τοῦ Εὐαγγελίου· διό σου θεῖε Μᾶρκε, φαιδρῶς σὺν ἡμῖν, Ἀλεξάνδρεια σήμερον, πανηγυρίζει τὴν μνήμην καὶ εὐφημεῖ, προσκυνοῦσά σου τὰ λείψανα.	O Mark, you drenched parched and dry souls with the persuasive words * of the all-holy Gospel, as with bright glowing showers. * And therefore Alexandria joins us today * in this festive observance of * your holy memory; and she rightly extols * your holy relics, which she venerates.

Come all, and with psalms and hymns let us extol Mark, that herald of the heavenly revelation, that oracle of the Gospel. He was like a river in the spiritual Garden of Eden, irrigating souls like fields with heavenly showers, and making them bear fruit for Christ God, who by the intercessions of this Evangelist grants to everyone forgiveness and the great mercy.

And earth * shook and also the stones split apart. * The tombs in turn also opened out of fear. * And all the heavenly Powers stood in awe. * When Your immaculate * Virgin Mother saw You, Jesus, she cried out * in lament and said, “Alas! * What is this spectacle?” [SD]

Γεν ΜϚʹ 1-7	Gn 46:1-7
Ἀπάρας Ἰσραήλ, αὐτὸς καὶ πάντα τὰ αὐτοῦ, ἦλθεν ἐπὶ τὸ φρέαρ τοῦ ὅρκου, καὶ ἔθυσε θυσίαν τῷ Θεῷ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ Ἰσραήλ. Εἶπε δὲ ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ ἐν ὁράματι τῆς νυκτός, εἰπών· Ἰακώβ, Ἰακώβ. Ὁ δὲ εἶπε· Τί ἐστιν; Ὁ δὲ λέγει αὐτῷ· Ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ Θεὸς τῶν πατέρων σου, μὴ φοβοῦ καταβῆναι εἰς Αἴγυπτον· εἰς γὰρ ἔθνος μέγα ποιήσω σε ἐκεῖ, καὶ ἐγὼ καταβήσομαι μετὰ σοῦ εἰς Αἴγυπτον, καὶ ἐγὼ ἀναβιβάσω σε εἰς τέλος, καὶ Ἰωσὴφ ἐπιβαλεῖ τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς σου. Ἀνέστη δὲ Ἰακὼβ ἀπὸ τοῦ φρέατος τοῦ ὅρκου, καὶ ἀνέλαβον οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ τὸν πατέρα αὐτῶν, καὶ τὴν ἀποσκευήν, καὶ τὰς γυναῖκας αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τὰς ἁμάξας, ἃς ἀπέστειλεν Ἰωσὴφ ἆραι αὐτόν. Καὶ ἀναλαβόντες τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτῶν καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν κτῆσιν, ἣν ἐκτήσαντο ἐν γῇ Χαναάν, εἰσῆλθον εἰς Αἴγυπτον, Ἰακώβ, καὶ πᾶν τὸ σπέρμα αὐτοῦ, οἱ υἱοί, καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ μετʹ αὐτοῦ, αἱ θυγατέρες αὐτοῦ, καὶ αἱ θυγατέρες τῶν θυγατέρων αὐτοῦ, καὶ πᾶν τὸ σπέρμα αὐτοῦ ἤγαγεν εἰς Αἴγυπτον.	Now Israel took his journey with all he had, and came to the Well of Oath, and offered a sacrifice to the God of his father Isaac. Then God spoke to Israel in a vision of the night, and said, “Jacob, Jacob!” So he said, “Here I am.” So God said to him, “I am the God of your fathers; do not fear to go down to Egypt, for I will make of you a great nation there. I will go down with you to Egypt, and I will also surely bring you up again, and Joseph will put his hand on your eyes.” Then Jacob arose from the Well of Oath, and the sons of Israel carried their father Jacob, their baggage, and their wives in the carts Pharaoh had sent to carry him. So they took their livestock and their goods which they had acquired in the land of Canaan and went to Egypt, Jacob and all his seed with him. His sons and his sons’ sons, his daughters and his sons’ daughters, and all his seed he brought with him to Egypt. [SAAS]

Πρμ ΚΓʹ, 15 - ΚΔʹ, 5	Pr 23:15-24:5
Υἱέ, ἐὰν σοφὴ γένηταί σου ἡ καρδία, εὐφρανεῖς καὶ τὴν ἐμὴν καρδίαν, καὶ ἐνδιατρίψει λόγοις τὰ σὰ χείλη πρὸς τὰ ἐμὰ χείλη, ἐὰν ὀρθὰ ὦσι. Μὴ ζηλούτω ἡ καρδία σου ἁμαρτωλούς, ἀλλὰ ἐν φόβῳ Κυρίου ἴσθι ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν· ἐὰν γὰρ τηρήσῃς αὐτά, ἔσται σοι ἔκγονα, ἡ δὲ ἐλπίς σου οὐκ ἀποστήσεται. Ἄκουε, υἱέ, καὶ σοφὸς γίνου, καὶ κατεύθυνε ἐννοίας σῆς καρδίας. Μὴ ἴσθι οἰνοπότης, μηδὲ ἐκτείνου συμβουλαῖς, κρεῶν τε ἀγορασμοῖς· πᾶς γὰρ μέθυσος καὶ πορνοκόπος πτωχεύσει, καὶ ἐνδύσεται διεῤῥηγμένα καὶ ῥακώδη πᾶς ὑπνώδης. Ἄκουε, υἱὲ πατρὸς τοῦ γεννήσαντός σε, καὶ μὴ καταφρόνει ὅτι γεγήρακέ σου ἡ μήτηρ. Ἀλήθειαν κτῆσαι καὶ μὴ ἀπώσῃ σοφίαν καὶ παιδείαν καὶ σύνεσιν. Καλῶς ἐκτρέφει πατὴρ δίκαιος, ἐπὶ δὲ υἱῷ σοφῷ εὐφραίνεται ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ. Εὐφραινέσθω ὁ πατὴρ καὶ ἡ μήτηρ ἐπὶ σοί, καὶ χαιρέτω ἡ τεκοῦσά σε. Δός μοι, υἱέ, σὴν καρδίαν· οἱ δὲ σοὶ ὀφθαλμοὶ ἐμᾶς ὁδοὺς τηρείτωσαν. Πίθος γὰρ τετριμμένος ἐστὶν ἀλλότριος οἶκος, καὶ φρέαρ στενὸν ἀλλότριον· οὗτος γὰρ συντόμως ἀπολεῖται, καὶ πᾶς παράνομος ἀναλωθήσεται. Τίνι οὐαί; τίνι θόρυβος; τίνι κρίσεις; τίνι ἀηδίαι καὶ λέσχαι; τίνι συντρίμματα διακενῆς; τίνος πελιδνοὶ οἱ ὀφθαλμοί; οὐ τῶν ἐγχρονιζόντων ἐν οἴνοις; οὐ τῶν ἰχνευόντων ποῦ πότοι γίνονται; μὴ μεθύσκεσθε οἴνῳ, ἀλλὰ ὁμιλεῖτε ἀνθρώποις δικαίοις, καὶ ὁμιλεῖτε ἐν περιπάτοις· ἐὰν γὰρ εἰς τὰς φιάλας καὶ τὰ ποτήρια δῷς τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς σου, ὕστερον περιπατήσεις γυμνότερος ὑπέρου· τὸ δὲ ἔσχατον, ὥσπερ ὑπὸ ὄφεως πεπληγὼς ἐκτείνεται, καὶ ὥσπερ ὑπὸ κεράστου διαχεῖται αὐτοῦ ὁ ἰός. Οἱ ὀφθαλμοί σου ὅταν ἴδωσιν ἀλλοτρίαν, τὸ στόμα σου τότε λαλήσει σκολιά, καὶ κατακείσῃ ὥσπερ ἐν καρδίᾳ θαλάσσης, καὶ ὥσπερ κυβερνήτης ἐν πολλῷ κλύδωνι. Ἐρεῖς δέ· Ἔτυπτόν με, καὶ οὐκ ἐπόνεσα, καὶ ἐνέπαιξάν μοι· ἐγὼ δὲ οὐκ ᾔδειν, πότε ὄρθρος ἔσται, ἵνα ἐλθὼν ζητήσω μεθʹ ὧν συνελεύσομαι. Υἱέ, μὴ ζηλώσῃς κακοὺς ἄνδρας, μηδὲ ἐπιθυμήσῃς εἶναι μέτʹ αὐτῶν· ψευδῆ γὰρ μελετᾷ ἡ καρδία αὐτῶν, καὶ πόνους τὰ χείλη αὐτῶν λαλεῖ. Μετὰ σοφίας οἰκοδομεῖται οἶκος, καὶ μετὰ συνέσεως ἀνορθοῦται. Μετὰ αἰσθήσεως, ἐμπίπλανται τὰ ταμιεῖα ἐκ παντὸς πλούτου τιμίου καὶ καλοῦ. Κρείσσων σοφὸς ἰσχυροῦ, καὶ ἀνὴρ φρόνησιν ἔχων γεωργίου μεγάλου.	My son, if your heart becomes wise, you will also gladden my heart; and your lips shall spend time with the words on my lips, if they be upright. Do not let your heart envy sinners, but be in fear of the Lord the whole day long. For if you keep these words, you shall have offspring, and your hope will not depart from you. Hear, my son, and become wise, and direct aright the thoughts of your heart. Do not be a wine-bibber, neither provide contributions of meats or goods at drinking parties. For every drunkard and fornicator shall become impoverished, and every sluggard shall clothe himself with tattered and ragged garments. Hear, my son, your father who begot you, and do not despise your mother because she has grown old. A righteous father rears his child well, and his soul rejoices in a wise son. Let your father and mother be glad in you, and let her who bore you rejoice. My son, give me your heart, and let your eyes observe my ways; for a house of prostitution is a pierced vessel and a strange and empty well; for he shall perish suddenly, and every lawless man shall be destroyed. Who has woe? Who has tumult? Who has condemnation? Who has unpleasantness and gossip? Who has afflictions with no purpose? Whose eyes are pale? Is it not those who linger long with wines? Is it not those who hunt for the whereabouts of drinking parties? Do not be drunk with wine, but keep company with righteous men, and keep company in public walks; for if you set your eyes to the bowls and cups, afterward you will walk about more naked than ground meat. And at last, he stretches himself out as one bitten by a serpent, and the venom spreads through him as one bitten by a horned serpent. When your eyes behold a strange woman, then your mouth will speak twisted things; and you will lie down as in the heart of the sea and as a pilot in a great storm; and you will say, “They beat me, but I did not suffer, and they mocked me, but I knew it not; when will it be morning, that I may go seek those with whom I may company?” My son, do not envy evil men, neither desire to be with them; for their heart ponders a lie, and their lips speak of sufferings. A house is built with wisdom, and it is built up with understanding. Storehouses are filled with perception from all honorable and good riches. It is better to be a wise man of strength and a man having discernment, than to be a man who has a large estate. [SAAS]

Ὧ ἀντίστητε στερεοὶ τῇ πίστει, εἰδότες τὰ αὐτὰ τῶν παθημάτων τῇ ἐν κόσμῳ ὑμῶν ἀδελφότητι ἐπιτελεῖσθαι. Ὁ δὲ Θεὸς πάσης χάριτος, ὁ καλέσας ὑμᾶς εἰς τὴν αἰώνιον αὐτοῦ δόξαν ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ ὀλίγον παθόντας, αὐτὸς καταρτίσει ὑμᾶς, στηρίξει, σθενώσει, θεμελιώσει· αὐτῷ ἡ δόξα καὶ τὸ κράτος εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων· ἀμήν. Διὰ Σιλουανοῦ ὑμῖν τοῦ πιστοῦ ἀδελφοῦ, ὡς λογίζομαι, διʼ ὀλίγων ἔγραψα, παρακαλῶν καὶ ἐπιμαρτυρῶν ταύτην εἶναι ἀληθῆ χάριν τοῦ Θεοῦ, εἰς ἣν ἑστήκατε. Ἀσπάζεται ὑμᾶς ἡ ἐν Βαβυλῶνι συνεκλεκτὴ καὶ Μᾶρκος ὁ υἱός μου. Ἀσπάσασθε ἀλλήλους ἐν φιλήματι ἀγάπης. Εἰρήνη ὑμῖν πᾶσι τοῖς ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ· ἀμήν.	Brethren, humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that in due time he may exalt you. Cast all your anxieties on him, for he cares about you. Be sober, be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking some one to devour. Resist him, first in your faith, knowing that the same experience of suffering is required of your brotherhood throughout the world. And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, establish and strengthen you. To him be the dominion for ever and ever. Amen. By Silvanos, a faithful brother as I regard him, I have written briefly to you, exhorting and declaring that this is the true grace of God; stand fast in it. She who is at Babylon, who is likewise chosen, sends you greetings; and so does my son Mark. Greet one another with the kiss of love. Peace to all of you that are in Christ. [RSV]

Λκ ιʹ 16-21	Lk. 10:16-21
Εἶπεν ὁ Κὐριος τοῖς ἑαυτοῦ Μαθηταῖς· Ὁ ἀκούων ὑμῶν ἐμοῦ ἀκούει, καὶ ὁ ἀθετῶν ὑμᾶς ἐμὲ ἀθετεῖ· ὁ δὲ ἐμὲ ἀθετῶν ἀθετεῖ τὸν ἀποστείλαντά με. Ὑπέστρεψαν δὲ οἱ ἑβδομήκοντα μετὰ χαρᾶς λέγοντες, Κύριε, καὶ τὰ δαιμόνια ὑποτάσσεται ἡμῖν ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί σου. Εἶπεν δὲ αὐτοῖς, Ἐθεώρουν τὸν Σατανᾶν ὡς ἀστραπὴν ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ πεσόντα. Ἰδοὺ δίδωμι ὑμῖν τὴν ἐξουσίαν τοῦ πατεῖν ἐπάνω ὄφεων καὶ σκορπίων, καὶ ἐπὶ πᾶσαν τὴν δύναμιν τοῦ ἐχθροῦ, καὶ οὐδὲν ὑμᾶς οὐ μὴ ἀδικήσῃ. Πλὴν ἐν τούτῳ μὴ χαίρετε ὅτι τὰ πνεύματα ὑμῖν ὑποτάσσεται· χαίρετε δὲ ὅτι τὰ ὀνόματα ὑμῶν ἐγράφη ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς. Ἐν αὐτῇ τῇ ὥρᾳ ἠγαλλιάσατο τῷ πνεύματι ὁ Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν· Ἐξομολογοῦμαί σοι, πάτερ, κύριε τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ τῆς γῆς, ὅτι ἀπέκρυψας ταῦτα ἀπὸ σοφῶν καὶ συνετῶν, καὶ ἀπεκάλυψας αὐτὰ νηπίοις· ναί, ὁ πατήρ, ὅτι οὕτως εὐδοκία ἐγένετο ἔμπροσθέν σου.	The Lord said to his disciples, “He who hears you hears me, and he who rejects you rejects me, and he who rejects me rejects him who sent me.” The seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!” And he said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing shall hurt you. Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you; but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.” In that same hour he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to babes; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will.” [RSV]
