Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. [RSV]

Ὡραῖος ἦν καὶ καλὸς εἰς βρῶσιν, ὁ ἐμὲ θανατώσας καρπός· Χριστός ἐστι τὸ ξύλον τῆς ζωῆς, ἐξ οὗ φαγὼν οὐ θνῄσκω, ἀλλὰ βοῶ σὺν τῷ λῃστῇ· Μνήσθητί μου Κύριε, ἐν τῇ Βασιλείᾳ σου.

The fruit that killed me of old was good for food and beautiful to contemplate. But Christ is the very tree of life, from which I eat and die not. And echoing the Robber’s words, I cry out, “Remember me in Your kingdom, O Lord.” [SD]

Μακάριοι οἱ δεδιωγμένοι ἕνεκεν δικαιοσύνης, ὅτι αὐτῶν ἐστιν ἡ Βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν.

Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. [RSV]

Τελέσαντες τὸν καλὸν ἀγῶνα, καὶ τὴν πίστιν τηρήσαντες, στεφάνους ἀφθαρσίας παρὰ Θεοῦ, ἐδέξασθε καὶ δόξης, καταξιοῦσθε τῆς αὐτοῦ, Μάρτυρες πανεύφημοι, τῶν Ἀγγέλων σύσκηνοι.

O holy Athletes, when you had finished * fighting the good fight and kept the faith, * from God you were awarded the crowns * of incorruption and granted * to be glorified with Him, * O all-lauded Martyr Saints, dwelling with the Angels on high. [SD]

Μακάριοι ἐστὲ ὅταν ὀνειδίσωσιν ὑμᾶς, καὶ διώξωσι, καὶ εἴπωσι πᾶν πονηρὸν ῥῆμα καθʼ ὑμῶν, ψευδόμενοι ἕνεκεν ἐμοῦ.

Blessed are you when men revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely [for my sake]. [RSV]

Ἱερουργῶν καὶ Ὁσίων δῆμοι, Προφητῶν καὶ σεπτῶν Γυναικῶν, κατάλογος τιμάσθω ὁ ἱερός, σκηναῖς τῶν πρωτοτόκων, νῦν κατοικοῦντες ἐν χαρᾷ, καὶ συναγελάζοντες, Ἀσωμάτων τάξεσι.

Let us now honor the sacred roster * of the saintly bishops, priests, and monks, * and prophets, holy women, and the rest * who reside in the dwellings * of the first-born now with joy, * socializing with the hosts * of the Incorporeals. [SD]

Χαίρετε καὶ ἀγαλλιᾶσθε, ὅτι ὁ μισθὸς ὑμῶν πολὺς ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς.

Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven. [RSV]

Κατάταξον ἐν σκηναῖς Δικαίων, ἐξ ἡμῶν οὓς μετέστησας, τὰ τούτων παραβλέψας Λόγε Θεοῦ, ἐν γνώσει καὶ ἀγνοίᾳ, πεπραγμένα ἐπὶ γῆς, ψυχικὰ ἐγκλήματα, διὰ μέγα ἔλεος.

Assign a place wherein dwell the Righteous * to those whom You translated from us, * and overlook the spiritual sins * that they may have committed * in ignorance or knowingly * while on earth, O Word of God, * in Your love and great mercy. [SD]

Δόξα.

Glory.

Ἱκέται σοι, ὦ Τριὰς ἁγία, οἱ θανέντες προσέρχονται, ῥυσθῆναι ἐξαιτοῦντες ἐκ φλογός, τῆς φοβερᾶς ἐκείνης, καὶ τυχεῖν τῶν ἀγαθῶν, δόξης τῆς ἁγίας σου, ἐν ἡμέρᾳ κρίσεως.

Those who have died supplicate You, praying * to You, the all-holy Trinity, * imploring that You save them from that flame * that is fearful and eternal, * and on Judgment Day that they * obtain the eternal goods * and Your holy glory, O God. [SD]

Καὶ νῦν. Θεοτοκίον.

Both now. Theotokion.

Ἐσκήνωσεν ἐν τῇ σῇ νηδύϊ, τοῦ Πατρὸς τὸ ἀπαύγασμα, καὶ τοὺς καθυπαχθέντας τοῦ ἐχθροῦ, κακίστῃ συμβουλίᾳ, καὶ ἐμπεσόντας εἰς φθοράν, Παναγία Ἄχραντε, πάλιν ἀνεκαίνισε.

All-holy Lady, the Father’s brightness * made His dwelling in your virgin womb, * for us who were subjected to the foe * and fell into corruption, * for we took the bad advice. * But, O all-immaculate, * your Son made us new again. [SD]

O Planter of creation, Lord, to You does the entire world bring as an offering the God-bearing martyr Saints, as being nature’s first fruits. At their earnest entreaties, keep Your Church in a state of profoundest peace, through the Theotokos, O Lord abundantly merciful. [SD]

The Epistle

Τῷ Σαββάτῳ τῆς Θʹ Ἑβδομάδος

Saturday of the 9th Week

Προκείμενον. Ἦχος πλ. βʹ. Ψαλμὸς 31.

Prokeimenon. Mode pl. 2. Psalm 31.

Εὐφράνθητε ἐπὶ Κύριον καὶ ἀγαλλιᾶσθε, δίκαιοι.

Be glad in the Lord and rejoice greatly. [SAAS]

Στίχ. Μακάριοι ὧν ἀφέθησαν αἱ ἀνομίαι καὶ ὧν ἐπεκαλύφθησαν αἱ ἁμαρτίαι.

Verse: Blessed are those whose transgressions are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. [SAAS]

Πρὸς Ρωμαίους Ἐπιστολῆς Παύλου τὸ ἀνάγνωσμα.

The reading is from Paul’s Letter to the Romans.

Ρωμ 14:6 – 9

Rom. 14:6 – 9

Ἀδελφοί, ὁ φρονῶν τὴν ἡμέραν Κυρίῳ φρονεῖ, καὶ ὁ μὴ φρονῶν τὴν ἡμέραν Κυρίῳ οὐ φρονεῖ. καὶ ὁ ἐσθίων Κυρίῳ ἐσθίει· εὐχαριστεῖ γὰρ τῷ Θεῷ· καὶ ὁ μὴ ἐσθίων Κυρίῳ οὐκ ἐσθίει, καὶ εὐχαριστεῖ τῷ Θεῷ. οὐδεὶς γὰρ ἡμῶν ἑαυτῷ ζῆ καὶ οὐδεὶς ἑαυτῷ ἀποθνήσκει· ἐάν τε γὰρ ζῶμεν, τῷ Κυρίῳ ζῶμεν, ἐάν τε ἀποθνήσκωμεν, τῷ Κυρίῳ ἀποθνήσκομεν. ἐάν τε οὖν ζῶμεν ἐάν τε ἀποθνήσκωμεν, τοῦ Κυρίου ἐσμέν. εἰς τοῦτο γὰρ Χριστὸς καὶ ἀπέθανε καὶ ἀνέστη καὶ ἔζησεν, ἵνα καὶ νεκρῶν καὶ ζώντων κυριεύσῃ.

Brethren, he who observes the day, observes it in honor of the Lord. He also who eats, eats in honor of the Lord, since he gives thanks to God; while he who abstains, abstains in honor of the Lord, and gives thanks to God. None of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself. If we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord; so then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s. For to this end Christ died and lived again, that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living. [RSV]

Τὸ Εὐαγγέλιον

The Gospel

Τῷ Σαββάτῳ τῆς Θʹ Ἑβδομάδος τοῦ Ματθαίου

Saturday of the 9th Week of Matthew

Ἐκ τοῦ κατὰ Ματθαῖον ἁγίου Εὐαγγελίου τὸ ἀνάγνωσμα.

The reading is from the holy Gospel according to Matthew.

Μτ 15:32 – 39

Mt. 15:32 – 39

Τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ προσκαλεσάμενος ὁ Ἰησοῦς τοὺς μαθητὰς αὐτοῦ εἶπε· σπλαγχνίζομαι ἐπὶ τὸν ὄχλον, ὅτι ἤδη ἡμέραι τρεῖς προσμένουσί μοι καὶ οὐκ ἔχουσι τί φάγωσι· καὶ ἀπολῦσαι αὐτοὺς νήστεις οὐ θέλω, μήποτε ἐκλυθῶσιν ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ. καὶ λέγουσιν αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ· πόθεν ἡμῖν ἐν ἐρημίᾳ ἄρτοι τοσοῦτοι ὥστε χορτάσαι ὄχλον τοσοῦτον; καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· πόσους ἄρτους ἔχετε; οἱ δὲ εἶπον· ἑπτά, καὶ ὀλίγα ἰχθύδια. καὶ ἐκέλευσε τοῖς ὄχλοις ἀναπεσεῖν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν. καὶ λαβὼν τοὺς ἑπτὰ ἄρτους καὶ τοὺς ἰχθύας, εὐχαριστήσας ἔκλασε καὶ ἔδωκε τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ, οἱ δὲ μαθηταὶ τοῖς ὄχλοις. καὶ ἔφαγον πάντες καὶ ἐχορτάσθησαν, καὶ ἦραν τὸ περισσεῦον τῶν κλασμάτων ἑπτὰ σπυρίδας πλήρεις· οἱ δὲ ἐσθίοντες ἦσαν τετρακισχίλιοι ἄνδρες χωρὶς γυναικῶν καὶ παιδίων. καὶ ἀπολύσας τοὺς ὄχλους ἀνέβη εἰς τὸ πλοῖον καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς τὰ ὅρια Μαγδαλά.

At that time, Jesus called his disciples to him and said, “I have compassion on the crowd, because they have been with me now three days, and have nothing to eat; and I am unwilling to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way.” And the disciples said to him, “Where are we to get bread enough in the desert to feed so great a crowd?” And Jesus said to them, “How many loaves have you?” They said, “Seven, and a few small fish.” And commanding the crowd to sit down on the ground, he took the seven loaves and the fish, and having given thanks he broke them and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. And they all ate and were satisfied; and they took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces left over. Those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children. And sending away the crowds, he got into the boat and went to the region of Magdala. [RSV]

   

   

Ὕμνος εἰς τὴν Θεοτόκον.

Hymn to the Theotokos.

Ἄξιόν ἐστιν ὡς ἀληθῶς μακαρίζειν σε τὴν Θεοτόκον, τὴν ἀειμακάριστον καὶ παναμώμητον καὶ μητέρα τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν. Τὴν τιμιωτέραν τῶν Χερουβεὶμ καὶ ἐνδοξοτέραν ἀσυγκρίτως τῶν Σεραφείμ, τὴν ἀδιαφθόρως Θεὸν Λόγον τεκοῦσαν, τὴν ὄντως Θεοτόκον, σὲ μεγαλύνομεν.

It is truly right to bless you, Theotokos, ever blessed, most pure, and Mother of our God. More honorable than the Cherubim, and beyond compare more glorious than the Seraphim, without corruption you gave birth to God the Logos. We magnify you, the true Theotokos.

   

   

Κοινωνικόν. Ψαλμοὶ 64, 101.

Communion Hymn. Psalms 64, 101.

Μακάριοι οὓς ἐξελέξω καὶ προσελάβου, Κύριε. Καὶ τὸ μνημόσυνον αὐτῶν εἰς γενεὰν καὶ γενεάν. Ἀλληλούϊα.

Blessed are they whom You have chosen and received, O Lord. Their memorial abides from generation to generation. Alleluia. [SAAS]

May Christ our true God, through the intercessions of His all-pure and all-immaculate holy Mother, the power of the precious and life-giving Cross, the protection of the honorable, bodiless powers of heaven, the supplications of the honorable, glorious prophet and forerunner John the Baptist, of the holy, glorious, and praiseworthy apostles, of the holy, glorious, and triumphant martyrs, of our righteous and God-bearing fathers, (local patron saint); of the holy and righteous ancestors of God Joachim and Anna, and of all the saints, have mercy on us and save us, as He is good, benevolent, and merciful God.
