TWENTIETH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST (Scriptural text below taken from United States Conference of Catholic Bishops) EPISTLE: GALATIANS 1:11-19 Now I want you to know, brothers, that the gospel preached by me is not of human origin. For I did not receive it from a human being, nor was I taught it, but it came through a revelation of Jesus Christ. For you heard of my former way of life in Judaism, how I persecuted the church of God beyond measure and tried to destroy it, and progressed in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries among my race, since I was even more a zealot for my ancestral traditions. But when [God], who from my mother s womb had set me apart and called me through his grace, was pleased to reveal his Son to me, so that I might proclaim him to the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult flesh and blood, nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; rather, I went into Arabia and then returned to Damascus. Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to confer with Cephas and remained with him for fifteen days. But I did not see any other of the apostles, only James the brother of the Lord. GOSPEL: LUKE 7:11-16 Soon afterward he journeyed to a city called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd accompanied him. As he drew near to the gate of the city, a man who had died was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. A large crowd from the city was with her. When the Lord saw her, he was moved with pity for her and said to her, Do not weep. He stepped forward and touched the coffin; at this the bearers halted, and he said, Young man, I tell you, arise! The dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him to his mother. Fear seized them all, and they glorified God, exclaiming, A great prophet has arisen in our midst, and God has visited his people.

Heartfelt thanks to our eparchial and parochial staff as well as our Jubilee Dinner Committee for laboring most prayerfully towards a memorable celebration of this milestone of our cathedral, our eparchy, and the Byzantine Catholic Church of America!

SAVE THE DATE A SPECIAL PRAYER FOR RESPECT LIFE MONTH: BYZANTINE COMPLINE FOR LIFE By decision of the United States Conference of Cathollic Bishops, which includes Eastern Catholic hierarchs as well as prelates of the Roman Rite, the theme of October is Respect Life Month. As such, everyone is welcome to pray with us the Byzantine Compline for Life at our cathedral on Tuesday, October 16 at 7 p.m. We salute our brethren who braved the deluge on Tuesday, October 2 to join us for our first time with this specialized version of the Night Prayer of our Byzantine rite.

GETTING READY FOR A NEW YEAR OF EASTERN CHRISTIAN FORMATION As the first teachers of Christian faith, of culture, and true manliness and femininity to their children, our parents need all the support they can get in the midst of a post-christian society. Our parish, therefore, announces to them and our youths the good news that a new year of Eastern Christian Formation awaits our beloved children and teenagers. Look out for registration forms in the back of the Cathedral and at our rectory so that our parents may register their children on time to begin their biweekly courses, starting on Sunday, October 14 at 11 a.m. in designated classrooms of Buildings 8141, 8131, and 8105 of our Rectory-Chancery complex. We ask our parents and children to complete their forms and return them to our rectory with a fee of only $25 for each family no later than October 12, 2018, close of business. Please be advised of the change of schedule of classes: October 14 and 21, November 4 and 18, December 2 and 16, 2018 and in 2019, January 13 and 20, February 3 and 17, March 3 and 17, April 7 and 14, May 5 and 19.

Mt 6:21 PRAYERS TO THE BLESSED MOTHER OF GOD according to THE BYZAN- TINE RITE TRADITION (taken from the Byzantine Leaflet Series pamphlet with the title listed above, available at the Web page of the Metropolitan Archeparcy of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) HAIL, VIRGIN MOTHER OF GOD Hail, Virgin Mother of God, full of grace, the Lord is with You. Blessed are You among women and blessed is the fruit of Your womb, for You have borne Christ, the Savior and Deliverer of our souls. IT IS TRULY PROPER TO GLORIFY YOU It is truly proper to glorify You, who have borne God, the Ever-Blessed and Immaculate, and the Mother of our God. More honorable than the Cherubim and beyond compare more glorious than the Seraphim, who, a Virgin, gave birth to God the Word; You, truly the Mother of God (Theotokos), we magnify. WE FLY TO YOUR PATRONAGE We fly to Your patronage, 0 Virgin Mother of God. Despise not our prayers in our needs, but deliver us from all dangers, since You alone are pure and blessed. O most glorious Ever-Virgin Mary, the Mother of Christ our God, accept our prayers and present them to Your Son and our God, that for the sake of You He enlighten and save our souls. We hope that this series of articles have provided you, dear reader, a background for the singing of the Marian Akathist before Liturgies in October.
