6 ) الرسالة لألحد الذي بعد عيد الظهور اإللهي (عيد الغطاس Epistle for the Sunday after the Feast of Epiphany Let Thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us! Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous! The Reading is from Saint Paul s Letter to the Ephesians (4:7-13) Brethren, grace was given to each of us according to the measure of Christ s gift. Therefore, it is said, When he ascended on high he led a host of captives, and he gave gifts to men. (In saying He ascended, what does it mean but that he had also descended into the lower parts of the earth? He who descended is he who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.) And his gifts were that some should be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.! رحمتك علينا! ابتهجوا أيها الصديقون بالرب رب لتكن يا الرسول إلى )31-7:4( س س رسالة فصل م هل فس القديس بول اح د م نا أ يا اخوة ل ك ل و عط ي ت النعم ة على م ق ص ع د إلى موهبة دار المسيح* فلذل ك يقول ل ما طى الناس عطايا* فكووه ص عد هل هو إال إوه و زل أوال إلى أساف ل أع الع لى س بى س بيا و األرا* فذاك الذي وزل هو الذي ص عد أيضا فوق السماو شيء* وهو قد ات كلها ليمأل ك ل أعطى أن يكو ن ألجل * مين البعض البعض ر عاة ومعل البعض م بشر ين و أوبياء و البعض ر سال و نيان جس د المسيح* إلى أن ونت هي جميعنا إلى و وب اإليمان حدة تكميل القديسين ول ع مل الخدمة. قام ة م ل ء المسيح ومعر فة ابن هللا إلى إوسان كامل إلى مقدار

7 اإل نجيل لألحد الذي بعد عيد الظهور اإللهي )عيد الغطاس ) Gospel for the Sunday after the Feast of Epiphany The Reading is from the Holy Gospel according to Saint Matthew (4:12-17) At that time, when Jesus heard that John had been arrested, he withdrew into Galilee; and leaving Nazareth he went and dwelt in Capernaum by the sea, in the territory of Zebulon and Naphtali, that what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled: The land of Zebulon and the land of Naphtali, toward the sea, across the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles the people who sat in darkness have seen a great light, and for those who sat in the region and shadow of death light has dawned. From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. فصل شر ف م بشارة القديس مت ى اإلنجيلي البشير, التلميذ الطاهر )1-21:4:( أ س ل اوصر ف إلى الجليل * وت ر ك الناصرة في ذلك الزمان ل م ا س مع يسوع أن يوحنا قد قيل وجاء ف س ك ن في كف ر واحوم التي على شاطئ البحر في تخوم ز بولون ووفتالي * لي ت ما باشعياء النبي القائل : أرا ز ب ولون وأرا وفتالي طريو البحر ع ب ر األ رد ن جليل األم * الظلمة أبص ر وو ار عظيما والجالس ون في ب ق ع ة الموت وظ الله أش ر ق الشعب الجالس في ويقول: توب وا فقد اقتر ب ملكوت السماوات. ع ل ي ه و ور * ومنذئذ ابتدأ يسوع يكر ز After the Gospel, please turn to page 104 in the Red Service Book.

11 2018 HOME BLESSINGS Traditionally, at the feast of the Lord s Epiphany (Baptism) on January 6th, the Great Blessing of the waters takes place and then is used to sanctify the homes of all the faithful. In bringing the blessed water to the homes, and sprinkling it in each room, we rid our house of any evil influence, and rededicate it to God in a special way. As we were once renewed by the waters of our own baptism into Christ, so too our home, and our entire lives, are re-dedicated and renewed unto Christ our God each year at this time. - Please contact the Cathedral Office at to schedule the Home Blessing by Father Saba. - The following should be prepared for the Home Blessing: All members of family must be present. Bible Icon Lit Candle Burning Incense (Optional) Small Table (or dining room table) - The visit by Father Saba should be approximately 45 minutes. Several visits will be scheduled on a given day in order to reach and bless all families and homes this season. Once the Home Blessing Season is mostly over, Fr. Saba will continue the regular Pastoral Visits, during which Fr. Saba will spend ample time with each family.
