A parish of the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America August 12, 2018 11 th Sunday after Pentecost & 11 th Sunday of Matthew FOR NON-ORTHODOX CHRISTIANS We welcome all people

However, it is an unfortunate consequence that there are divisions in Christianity, and therefore, we cannot extend to you a general invitation to receive the Eucharist (Holy Communion).

1 A parish of the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America August 12, th Sunday after Pentecost & 11 th Sunday of Matthew FOR NON-ORTHODOX CHRISTIANS We welcome all people across all religions to pray with us. However, it is an unfortunate consequence that there are divisions in Christianity, and therefore, we cannot extend to you a general invitation to receive the Eucharist (Holy Communion). Orthodox Christians believe that the Eucharist is an action of the celebrating community, signifying a oneness in faith, life, and worship. Reception of the Eucharist by Christians not fully united with the Orthodox Church would imply a oneness, which does not yet exist, and for which we must all pray. We invite you to receive the blessed and holy bread that is given out to all at the end of the service, and are thrilled that you have joined us this morning! Christ is in our midst! He is and ever shall be!

2 THE SYNAXARION On August 12 th in the Holy Orthodox Church we continue to celebrate the Transfiguration of Christ; and we commemorate the holy martyrs Photios and Anikytos of Nicomedia. Verses Fire burneth Anikytos and Photios together, Whom a house of light beareth as mighty and unconquered. On the twelfth fire killed Photios and Anikytos. Emperor Diocletian once came to Nicomedia with the evil intention to completely exterminate the Christians. But Anikytos, one of the high ranking officials of the city, boldly confessed before the emperor his faith in Christ the Lord, God incarnate in the flesh for our salvation. The emperor ordered his tongue to be severed but Anikytos, by the power of God, continued to speak. They then released a lion against him but the lion cuddled around him. At that moment the temple of Hercules collapsed. Photios, a kinsman of Anikytos, seeing the miracles and endurance of Anikytos, kissed him, declared himself a Christian and cried out to the emperor: O idolater, be ashamed, your gods are nothingness! Eventually, Photios and Anikytos went to their glorious deaths, and scores of men, women and children went with them. They all suffered about the year 305. Anikytos and Photios are invoked in the prayers in the Sacrament of Anointing with Oil (Holy Unction) and in the Blessing of Water. By the intercessions of Thy Saints, O Christ God, have mercy upon us. Amen. 2

3 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised, in the city of our God, in His holy mountain. Who settest fast the mountains by Thy strength, Who art girded about with power. Through the intercessions of the Theotokos, O Savior, save us. Who coverest Thyself with light as with a garment. The mountains shall rejoice at the presence of the Lord, for He cometh; yea, He is come to judge the earth. Through the intercessions of the Theotokos, O Savior, save us. Glory Both now Through the intercessions of the Theotokos, O Savior, save us. His foundations are in the holy mountains. The Lord loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob. Save us, O Son of God, Who wast transfigured on Mount Tabor, who sing to Thee. Alleluia. Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Save us, O Son of God, Who wast transfigured on Mount Tabor, who sing to Thee. Alleluia. Zion is our mother, a man shall say, and such a man was born in her; and the Most High Himself hath established her.

THE EPISTLE FOR THE 11 TH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST The Lord is my strength and my song. The Lord has chastened me severely. The Reading from the First Epistle of St. Paul to the Corinthians.

6 THE EPISTLE FOR THE 11 TH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST The Lord is my strength and my song. The Lord has chastened me severely. The Reading from the First Epistle of St. Paul to the Corinthians. (9:2-12) Brethren, you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord. This is my defense to those who would examine me. Do we not have the right to our food and drink? Do we not have the right to be accompanied by a wife, as the other apostles and the brothers of the Lord and Cephas? Or is it only Barnabas and I who have no right to refrain from working for a living? Who serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard without eating any of its fruit? Who tends a flock without getting some of the milk? Do I say this on human authority? Does not the law say the same? For it is written in the Law of Moses, You shall not muzzle an ox when it is treading out the grain. Is it for oxen that God is concerned? Does he not speak entirely for our sake? It was written for our sake, because the plowman should plow in hope and the thresher thresh in hope of a share in the crop. If we have sown spiritual good among you, is it too much if we reap your material benefits? If others share this rightful claim upon you, do not we still more? Nevertheless, we have not made use of this right, but we endure anything rather than put an obstacle in the way of the Gospel of Christ. قوتي وتسب ح تي الرب أدبا أد ب ني الرب فصل من رسالة القديس بولس الرسول األولى إلى أهل كورنثوس. )9:2-12( يا إخوة إن خات م ر سالتي هو أنت م في الر ب * هو اح ت جاجي عند الذين ي ف ح صون ني* أل ع ل نا وهذا سلطان سلطان ل نا أن نأك ل ون ش ر ب * أل ع ل نا ال ال الرسل وإخوة لنا أن ن ج ول بام أرة أ خ ت كسائ ر س ل طان لنا وصفا * أم أنا وب رنابا وح د نا ال الر ب أن ال ن ش ت غ ل * م ن ي ت ج ن د ق ط والنف ق ة على ن فس ه م ن ي غ ر س ك ر ما وال يأك ل م ن ث م ر ه أو م ن ي ر عى أت ك ل م ق طيعا وال يأك ل م ن ل ب ن الق طيع * أل ع ل ي ب ح س ب البشري ة أ م لي س الناموس أيضا يقول ب هذا هذا * فإ ن ه ك ت ب في ناموس موسى ال ت ك م ث و ار دار سا. ألعل هللا ت ه م ه الثي ارن * أ م قال ذل ك من أجل نا ال محالة ب ل إن ما ك ت ب من أجل نا. ألن ه ي ن ب غي ل ل حار ث أ ن ي ح ر ث على الر جاء ول لدار س على الر جاء أن ي كون شريكا في الر جاء* إن ك ن ا ن ح ن ق د ز ر ع نا ل ك م الروح ي ات أ ف ي كون ع ظيما أن ن ح صد م ن ك م الجسد ي ات * إن كان آخ رون أ ولى أف ل سنا نحن ي ش تر كون في السلطان عليك م ل ك ن ا ل م ن ست ع م ل ه ذا الس لطان ب ل ن ح ت م ل ك ل ن سب ب ت ع ويقا ما ل ب شار ة الم سيح* شيء ل ئ ال 6

7 THE GOSPEL FOR THE 11 TH SUNDAY OF MATTHEW The Reading from the Holy Gospel according to St. Matthew. (18:23-35) The Lord spoke this parable: The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who wished to settle accounts with his servants. When he began the reckoning, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents; and as he could not pay, his lord ordered him to be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and payment to be made. So the servant fell on his knees, imploring him, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay you everything. And out of pity for him the lord of that servant released him and forgave him the debt. But that same servant, as he went out, came upon one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii; and seizing him by the throat he said, Pay what you owe. So his fellow servant fell down and besought him, Have patience with me, and I will pay you. He refused and went and put him in prison until he should pay the debt. When his fellow servants saw what had taken place, they were greatly distressed, and they went and reported to their lord all that had taken place. Then his lord summoned him and said to him, You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you besought me; and should not you have had mercy on your fellow servant, as I had mercy on you? And in anger his lord delivered him to the jailers, until he should pay all his debt. So also My heavenly Father will do to every one of you, if you do not forgive your brother from your heart. اإلن جيل ي ف ص ل ش ريف م ن ب شار ة الق د يس م ت ى الب شير والت ل ميذ الط اه ر. )18:23-35( قال الر ب ه ذا الم ثل: ي ش ب ه ملكوت السماوات إنسانا م ل كا أ ارد أن ي حاس ب عبيد ه * ف ل م ا ب د أ بالمحاسبة أ حض ر إليه واح د عليه عش ر ة آالف وزنة * وإذ ل م يك ن ل ه ما ي وف ي أ م ر سي د ه أن ي باع هو وام أر ت ه وأوالد ه وك ل ما له وي وف ى عنه * ف خ ر ذل ك العب د ساجدا له قائ ال : ت م ه ل ع ل ي فأ وف يك كل و ت ر ك ل ه سي د ذل ك العب د وأط ل ق ه ما ل ك * ف ر ق ج د عب دا م ن الد ي ن* وبعد ما خ ر ج ذل ك العب د و فأم س ك ه وأخ ذ ي خ ن ق ه ر ف قائ ه مد يونا ل ه بمئ ة دينار أو ف ني ما لي علي ك. ف خ ر ذل ك العب د على قائ ال : قدم ي ه وط ل ب إلي ه قائ ال : ت م ه ل ع ل ي فأ وفيك ك ل و ط ر ح ه في السج ن حتى و م ض ى ما ل ك * ف أ ب ى ي وف ي الد ي ن* فل م ا أرى ر ف قاؤ ه ما كان ح ز ن وا ج د ا وجاء وا فأ ع ل م وا سي د ه م ب ك ل ما كان* حينئ ذ د عاه سي د ه وقال ل ه : أ ي ها الع ب د الشر ير! ك ل ما كان عليك ت ر ك ت ه ل ك ألن ك ط ل ب ت إل ي * أفم ا كان ي ن ب غي ل ك أن ت ر ح م أ ن ت أيضا رفيق ك ك ما ر ح م ت ك أنا * حتى ي وف ي و د ف ع ه إلى المعذ بين غ ض ب سي د ه و جميع ما له عليه * فه ك ذا أبي السماوي ي ص ن ع ب ك م إن ل م ت ت ر كوا م ن ق لوب ك م ك ل واح د ألخيه زال ت ه. 7
