Convert us to You, for the enemy has deceived us and stripped us of your grace. Restore to us our initial vestment. Open to us the doors of your great mercy, that we may enter your heavenly Dwellings with the Elect and praise your glory forever. For You have sent your Only-begotten Son in forgiveness to the World. Through Him we render glory, thanksgiving and worship to You Eternal Father, with your Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ and your All-holy, Good and Life-giving Spirit, now and always and forever and ever. صالة األنديفونة: يا إله الرحمة وال أرفة يا من ال يشاء موت الخاطئ بل يريده أن يتوب ويحيا نسألك أن تنير علينا بوج ه ك عنا إليك نحن الذين خ د عهم العدو وعر اهم من نعمت ك وأن تعيد إلينا الحلة األولى وتفتح لنا أبوا ب رحم تك الواسعة وترج مع المختارين ونسب ح عز تك على الدوام. فندخل ديارك ألنك أرسلت ابنك الوحيد غف ارنا للعالم وبه نرفع إليك المجد والشكر والسجود أيها اآلب األزلي وإلى ابنك الوحيد يسوع المسيح وروحك القدوس الصالح والمحيي اآلن وكل أوان وإلى دهر الداهرين. Troparion of the Resurrection (6 th Tone): The angelic powers were around Your tomb, and the guards became as dead; and Mary stood at the tomb, seeking Your spotless body. Then You despoiled Hades without being tried by it and You met the Virgin, O Bestower of life. O Lord, who rose from the dead, glory to You! ومريم وقف ت عند القبر نشيد القيامة )باللحن السادس(: إن القوات المالئكية ظهر ت على قبر ك والح ار س صاروا كاألموات البتول واهبا الحياة. فيا من قام من بي ن األموات يا رب المجد الجحيم ولم تنل ك بأذى والقيت طالبة جسد ك الطاهر. فسلبت لك. Kondakion of the Prodigal Son (Tone 3): In my foolish wretchedness I ran away from your glory, and I squandered in wickedly the riches You have given me. And so now, like the Prodigal Son, I cry out to You: I have sinned in your sight, Merciful Father: receive me now that I repent and make me as one of your hired servants. Theme of the Year Love one another as I have loved you (John 13, 34) Supporting brothers & sisters in Christ: By taking care of the hurting people & deepen their relationship with Jesus, And bringing Christ s love to the inactive & unchurched people. To grow together in faith by seeing God working & touching the lives of others, And become a warmer & more loving community touched by Christ s love. Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep (Roman 12, 15) نشيد الختام )القنداق( )باللحن الثالث): لم ا نفرت من المجد األبوي أصرخ إليك كاالبن الشاطر:/ خطئت أمامك أيها األب الرؤوف./ فاقب ل ين بغباوة بذ رت في الشرور الثروة التي أع طيتنيها./ تائبا واجع لني كأحد أج ارئ ك لذلك Epistle (p. 326): Prokimenon (Tone 1) (Binder p.38) May your kindness, O Lord, be upon us, for we have hoped in You. Stikhon: Exult, you just, in the Lord; praise from the upright is fitting. Reading from the first Epistle of St. Paul to the Corinthians (6:12-20)

2 Brethren, all things are lawful for me, but not all things are fitting. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of anyone. Food is for the belly, and the belly for food, but God will destroy both the one and the other. Now, the body is not for immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. For God has raised up the Lord and will also raise us up by his power. Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them the members of a prostitute? By no means! Or do you not know that one who cleaves tot a prostitute becomes one body with her? For the two, it is said, shall be one flesh (Gn 2: 24). But he who cleaves to the Lord is one spirit with him. Flee immorality. Every sin a man commits is outside the body, but the immoral man sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your members are the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God and that you are not your own? For you have been bought at a great price. Glorify God therefore in your body and in your soul which both are God s. Alleluia: - O God, you granted me retribution and make peoples subject to me and saved me from my raging enemies. Stichon: - Therefore I will proclaim you, O Lord, among the nations, and I will sing praise to your name. الرسالة )ص 366(: المقدمة: لتكن يا رب رحمتك علينا بحسب اتكال نا عليك إبتهجوا أيها ال صد يقون بالرب بالمستقيمين ي ليق التسبيح فصل من رسالة القديس بولس الرسول األولى إلى أهل كورنثس )6: 20-12( يا إخوة. ك ل شيء يجوز لي ولكن ليس ك ل شيء ينفع. ك ل شيء يجوز لي ولكن ال يتسل ط عل ي شيء. إن األطعم ة وسيقيمنا أقام الرب. للجو ف والجو ف لألطعمة. وس يبيد هللا هذا وتلك. أما الجسد فليس للزنى بل للرب. والر ب للجسد وهللا قد أوما أعضاء ازنية حاشى. أعضاء المسي ح وأجعلها أعضاء المسيح أفآخذ نحن أيضا بقو ت ه. أما تعلمون أن أجساد كم هي قيل: يصي ارن كال هما جسدا واحدا. أما الذي يقترن بالرب م ن اقترن ب ازنية يصير معها جسدا واحدا ألن ه قد تعلمون أن م إلى الجسد. فيكون معه روحا واحدا. أهر بوا م ن الزنى. إن كل خطيئة يفعلها اإلنسا ن هي خارج الجسد. أما الزنى فإنه يج ر من هللا وأنكم لستم ألنف سكم. ألنكم ق د اشتريتم بثمن أوما تعلمون أن أجساد كم هي هيكل الروح القدس الذي فيكم الذي ن لتموه إذن في جس دكم ورو حكم اللذين هما هلل كريم فمجدوا هللا هللويا: - هللا هو المنتقم لي ومخض ع الشعوب تحتي م خال ص الملك والصانع رحمة إ لى مسي ح ه - المعظ Gospel ) Luke 15:11-32 (: The Prodigal Son The Lord told this parable: A man had two sons. And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the share of the property that falls to me. And he divided his possessions between them. And not many days later, the younger son gathered up all his wealth and traveled to a far country; and there he squandered his fortune in loose living. And after he had spent all, there came a severe famine over that country, and he began to suffer from it. And he went and joined one of the local landowners, who sent him to his fields to feed the pigs. And he longed to fill himself with the pods the pigs were eating, but no one offered to give them to him. But when he had come to his senses, he said, How many hired men in my father s house have bread in abundance, while I am perishing with hunger! I will get up and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you, I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me as one of your hired men. And he got up and went to his father. But while he was yet a long way off, his father saw him and was moved with compassion and ran and fell upon his neck and kissed him. And the son said to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you, I am no longer worthy to be called your son. But the Father said to his servants, Fetch quickly the best robe and put it on him, and give him a ring for his finger and sandals for his feet; and bring out the fattened calf and kill it, and let us eat and make merry; because this my son was dead, and has come to life again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to make merry. Now his elder son was in the field; and as he came close to the house, he heard music and dancing. And calling one of the servants he asked what this meant. And he said to him, Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has got him back safe. But he was angered and would not go in. His father, therefore, came out and began to beg him. But he answered and said to his father, Look, these many years I have been serving you, and have never disobeyed any of your orders; and yet, you have never given me a kid that I might make merry with my friends. But when this son of yours comes, who has devoured your wealth with prostitutes; you have killed for him the fattened calf! But he said to him, Son you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours; but we were bound to make merry and rejoice, for this your brother was dead, and has come to life; he was lost and is found. اإلنجيل )لوقا 11-15: 32(: االبن الشاطر قال الرب هذا المثل: إ نسان كان له ابنان. فقال أصغرهما ألبيه: يا أبت أعطني نصيبي من المال. فقسم بينهما أمواله. وبعد أيام غير كثيرة جمع االبن األصغر كل شيء له وسافر إ لى بلد بعيد. وبذر ماله هناك عائشا في الخالعة. فلم ا أنفق كل شيء له حدثت في ذلك البلد مجاعة شديدة. فأخذ في العوز. فذهب وانضوى إلى واحد من أهل ذلك البلد. فأرسله إلى حقول ه يرعى الخنازير وكان يشتهي أن يمأل بطنه من الخرنوب الذي كانت الخنازير تأكله ولم يعطه أحد. فرجع إلى نفسه وقال. كم ألبي من أج ارء يفضل عنهم الخبز وأنا أهلك جوعا. أقوم وأمضي إلى أبي وأقول له: يا أبت قد خطئت إ لى السماء وأمامك. ولس ت مستح قا بعد أن أدعى لك ابنا فاجعلني كأحد أج ارئك. فقام وجاء إ لى أبيه. وفيما هو بعيد رآه أبوه فتحر كت أحشاؤه. وأسرع وألقى بنفسه على عنقه وقب له. فقال له االبن: يا أبت قد خطئت إ لى السماء وأمامك ولست مستحقا أن أدعى لك ابنا. فقا ل األب لعبيده: هاتوا الحل ة األولى وألبسوه. واجعلوا خاتما في يده وحذاء في رجليه. وائتوا بالعجل المسم ن واذبحوه فنأكل ونفرح. ألن ابني هذا كان ميتا فعاش وكان ضاال فوجد. فطفقوا يفرحون. وكان ابنه األكبر في الحقل. فلما أتى وقرب من البيت س م ع أصوات الغناء والرقص. فدعا أحد الغلمان وسأله ما عسى أن يكون هذا. فقال له: قد قد م أخوك فذبح أبوك العجل المسم ن

3 ولم ألنه لق يه سالما. فغض ب ولم ير د أن يدخل. فخرج أبوه وطف ق يتضر ع إليه. فأجاب وقال ألبيه كم لي من السنين أخ دمك أتعد وصيتك قط. وأنت لم تعطني قط جديا ألفرح مع أصدقائي. ولما جاء اب نك هذا الذي أكل أموالك مع الزواني ذبحت له و لك. ولكن كان ينبغي أن نتنع م ونفرح. ألن هو لي ه العجل المسم ن. فقال له يا ابني أنت معي في كل حين وكل ما أخاك هذا كان ميتا فعاش وكان ضاال فوج د. Ecumenic Petitions: الطلبات الملحة: 1- ألجل جمي ع الذين يعودون إليك عن طري ق التوب ة وطل ب الغف ارن أيها الر ب إلهنا ط ه ر قلوبنا وج د دنا بروح ك القدوس. نطلب إليك يا رب فاستجب وارحم 1 - For those who return to you through repentance and ask for your forgiveness. O Lord our God, purify our hearts and renew us by your Holy Spirit. We pray to you, Lord, hear us and have mercy. على مثال األب الرحيم في مثل االبن الشاطر أيها الرب ارحمنا وت أرف بنا نحن الخطأة إقبلنا وض منا إلى ذ ارعيك اللطيفتين عندما نتوب إليك عائدين من بالد الخطيئة البعيدة. إليك نطلب يا رب فاستجب وارحم. 2- Oh God. like the Father of the Prodigal Son, have mercy and compassion on us sinners, welcome us back into your loving arms, as we return from the distant country of sin. We pray to you, Lord, hear us and have mercy. مسرع ا إلى هو أ ن ند ر ك قو ة صال حك. ألن االب ن الضال عندما تا ب عن خطيئ ت ه لجأ م أن هدفنا 3- أيها الرب إننا نعل نرفع إليك المث ل كيف م من هذا واحتفل بعود ت ه بفرح سماوي. إجع لنا نتعل س من الم ل ج الرحيم عانق ه وذب ح له الع أبيه. وأبوه المح ب البشر إليك نطلب يا رب فاستجب وارحم الشكر أيها األ ب 3- O Lord, we know our purpose is to understand the power of Your Goodness. For when the Prodigal Son abandoned his sin, he hastened to the refuge of His Father. That Good Man embraced him. He killed the fatted calf and celebrated with heavenly joy. Let us learn from this example to offer thanks to the Father Who loves all men. We pray to you, Lord, hear us and have mercy. -2 FROM ABOUNA S DESK Your Donations of Last Week: General Account: 1 st Liturgy 38 persons gave $ ~ 2 nd Liturgy 235 persons gave $2, Mail-in $ ~ Total: $2, (Loose Money included in the total $ ~ 25%) Candles $ ~ Coffee Hour $63.00 ~ Stole & Stipend $56.00 ~ Hall Donation $5, Parking Lot Donation (School) $26, ~ Unit #1 Donation $1, Space Occupied by a Container for Unit #1 $ ~ Grand Total: $37, Charity: $1, افتتاح مدخل الكاتدرائية Remodeling: Grand Opening of our Cathedral األحد 24 آذار/ مارس 5:30 مساء p.m. When: Sunday, March 24 at 5:30 عيد البشارة Theotokos.

Looking ahead, we are planning a community service and social activity for the near future we ll keep you abreast of developments. Also, a few SAYA members will be reading and praying this Lent with The Lenten Spring, an Orthodox spiritual classic (If you are in this age group and interested please see, , or call Fr Shaun.) SAYA is for young adults between the ages of 18 and 30. We realize folks in this age group are especially busy, what with working jobs that often have odd hours, shifting schedules, and school workloads that frequently defy the limits of space and time. Be that as it may, we promise not to tax your overly hectic life any more than it is already. In fact, let SAYA be a respite! Call, speak to, or Fr Shaun and we ll make sure you re included in our next event! Altar Servers: Servers are needed for the 9:00 a.m. liturgy.

Shaun if you are interested in this ministry to our parish community. Thank you!

Please contact St. Anne's rectory and we will pass your name to Fr. Beyrouti. The Triodion Time The ten weeks before Pascha are called Triodion, or Period of the Three Odes because during that time no more than three odes are sung at the Canon of Matins. It includes the Time Before Lent, or Prophonisimon, the Forty Days of Lent, and the Holy Great Week. The Time Before Lent: The two weeks before Lent are called Prophonisimon, or Herald of Lent. They prepare for the proper mood of penance and self-denial. They include the Week of the Pharisee & Publican and the Week of the Prodigal Son. Sunday of the Pharisee & Publican: The lesson of this week teaches us to avoid the pride of the Pharisee and imitate the humility of the Publican. The Fasting Discipline Fasting: Is refraining from any food and drink from midnight until Vespers (prayers at sunset). So, the person fasting eats only a single meal a day after Vespers or after the Liturgy of the Presanctified. Days of Fasting during Great Lent: Monday through Friday throughout Lent and Holy Week. No fasting on Saturdays and Sundays because Saturday is the Sabbath and Sunday is the Day of the Resurrection. Great and Holy Saturday is the only Saturday of the year on which one must keep a fast until we celebrate Great Vespers and Liturgy of St. Basil. Abstinence: Refrain from consuming all meat (including fish), dairy products, eggs, wine. Days of Abstinence: The whole of Great Lent, including Saturdays, Sundays and all of Holy Week. On Palm Sunday الشعانين) (أحد and the Feast of the Annunciation البشارة) :(عيد fish and wine are permitted. Fasting and abstinence exceptions: If you are sick, elderly, pregnant, or too young for the traditional fast, an exception can be made. However, in the spirit of the Fast, still join us as a form of fellowship. For those who fit in these categories, we encourage you to practice fasting and abstinence at least on the first day of the Great Fast (Mach 4, 2019), Wednesdays and Fridays of the Great Fast, and Holy Week (April 15 to 19, 2019).
