5 15 1 h Sunday After Pentecost Troparion: Angelic powers were upon Your tomb and the guards became like dead men; Mary stood before Your tomb seeking Your most pure body. You captured Hades without being over-come by it. You met the Virgin and granted life. 0 Lord, risen from the dead, glory be to You! Kontakion: Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: With His life-giving hand Christ our God, the Giver of life, raised all the dead from the murky abyss and bestowed resurrection upon humanity. He is for all the Savior, the resurrection and the life, and the God of all. Theotokion: Now and ever and forever: Amen. Undaunted patroness of Christians, 0 steadfast intermediary with the Creator, turn not away from the suppliant voices of sinners, but in your kindness come to help us who cry out to you in faith. Be quick to intercede, make haste to plead, for you are ever the patroness of those who honor you, 0 Mother of God. Prokimenon: Save Your people, 0 Lord, and bless Your inheritance. V. Unto You I will cry, 0 Lord my God, lest You turn from me in silence. Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! He who lives in the aid of the Most High, shall dwell under the protection of the God of heaven. V. He says to the Lord: You are my protector and my refuge, my God, in Whom 1 hope. Alleluia (3x) Communion Hymn: Praise the Lord from the heavens; praise Him in the highest. Alleluia!

The psalmist reminds us, Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Dear Lord, rebuild this house and guide the hands of the architects, the contractors, the laborers; May they perfect the imperfections, as they recreate and renew this church, our Heaven on earth, where we gather to lay aside all cares of life. Almighty Lord, we are also reminded that we too are temples, living temples of the Holy Spirit During this time of re-creation and renewal May our imperfections also be perfected. May the gifts of the Holy Spirit renew in each of us our faith and our love of God and each other. May we spiritually become the children of God we are called to be Christian faithful who are forgiving and caring, and welcoming. And may our patrons, Saints Peter and Paul, always inspire us through their courage and example to faithfully hear the Word of God and live it.
