Deacon James Kallail Ms. Melissa Shippy, Program Director Website Address: Tone 1 Sunday, October 27, 2013 Eothinon 7 18 th Sunday after Pentecost Resurrectional Apolytikion in Tone 1 While the stone was sealed by the Jews, and the soldiers were guarding Thy most pure body, Thou didst arise on the third day, O Savior, granting life to the world. For which cause the heavenly powers cried aloud unto Thee, O giver of life. Glory to Thy Resurrection O Christ, glory to Thy kingdom, glory to Thy providence, O Thou Who alone art the lover of mankind. Apolytikion for Sts. Demetrios and Nestor in Tone 3 Verily, the inhabited world found thee a great help in tribulations and a vanquisher of nations, O victorious one. Wherefore, as thou didst demolish the arrogance of Lyaeus, and on the battlefield didst hearten Nestor, O Saint Demetrios, beseech Christ God to grant us the Great Mercy. Apolytikion of The Nativity of the Theotokos in Tone 4 Thy nativity, O Theotokos, has proclaimed joy to the whole universe; for from thee shone forth the Sun of justice, Christ our God, annulling the curse, and bestowing the blessing, abolishing death and granting us life everlasting. Kontakion of The Theotokos in Tone 2 O protection of Christians that cannot be put to shame, mediation unto the Creator most constant, O despise not the suppliant voices of those who have sinned; but be thou quick, O good one, to come unto our aid, who in faith cry unto thee: Hasten to intercession, and speed thou to make supplication, thou who dost ever protect, O Theotokos, them that honor thee.

2 THE READING FROM THE SECOND EPISTLE OF ST. PAUL TO THE CORINTHIANS (9:6-11) The Prokeimenon: Let Thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us. Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous. Brethren, he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must do as he has made up his mind, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to provide you with every blessing in abundance, so that you may always have enough of everything and may provide in abundance for every good work. As it is written, He scatters abroad, he gives to the poor; his righteousness endures forever. He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your resources and increase the harvest of your righteousness. You will be enriched in every way for great generosity, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God. The Alleluiarion: O God Who givest avengement unto me and hast subdued peoples under me. // It is he that magnifieth the salvation of His king and worketh mercy for His anointed, for David, and for his seed unto eternity. THE READING FROM THE HOLY GOSPEL A CCORDING TO St. Luke (8:41-56) At that time, there came to Jesus a man named Jairus, who was a ruler of the synagogue; and falling at Jesus feet, he besought Him to come to his house, for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. As Jesus went, the people pressed round Him. And a woman, who had had a flow of blood for twelve years, and had spent all her living upon physicians, and could not be healed by anyone, came up behind Him, and touched the fringe of His garment; and immediately her flow of blood ceased. And Jesus said, Who was it that touched Me? When all denied it, Peter said, Master, the multitudes surround Thee and press upon Thee! And Thou sayest, Who touched Me? But Jesus said, Someone touched Me; for I perceive that power has gone forth from Me. And when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling, and falling down before Him declared in the presence of all the people why she had touched Him, and how she had been immediately healed. And Jesus said to her, Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace. While Jesus was still speaking, a man from the ruler s house came and said, Your daughter is dead; do not trouble the Teacher

3 anymore. But Jesus on hearing this answered him, Do not fear; only believe, and she shall be well. And when Jesus came to the house, He permitted no one to enter with Him, except Peter and James and John, and the father and mother of the child. And all were weeping and bewailing her; but Jesus said, Do not weep; for she is not dead but sleeping. And they laughed at him, knowing that she was dead. But taking her by the hand Jesus called, saying, Child, arise. And her spirit returned, and she got up at once; and Jesus directed that something should be given her to eat. And her parents were amazed; but He charged them to tell no one what had happened.
