2 Divine Liturgy of St. John the Chrysostom Ἀπολυτίκιον Ἀναστάσιμον - Ήχος A - σ Τού λίθου σφραγισθέντος ύπό τών Ίουδαίων καί στρατιωτών φυλασσόντων τό άχραντον σου σώμα, άνέστης τριήμερος Σωτήρ, δωρούμενος τώ κόσμω τήν ζωήν. Διά τού το αί δυνάμεις τών ούρανών έβόων σοι, ζωοδότα. Δόξα τή άναστάσει σου Χριστέ, δόξα τή βασιλεία σου, δόξα τή οίκονομία σου, μόνε φιλάνθρωπε. Resurrectional Apolytikion - 1st Tone - p Although Your tomb was sealed with a stone, O Savior, and Your most pure body was guarded by the soldiers, You rose on the third day giving life to all the world. Therefore, O giver of life, the powers of heaven praise You: Glory to Your resurrection, O Christ. Glory to Your kingdom. Glory to Your saving wisdom, O only lover of man kind. Ἀπολυτίκιον τής Άγίας Αικατερίνης - Ήχος Πλ. Α Τήν πανεύφημον νύμφην Χριστού υμνήσωμεν * Αικατερίναν τήν θείαν καί πολιούχον Σινά * τήν βοήθειαν ημών καί αντίληψιν ότι εφίμωσε λαμπρώς * τούς κομψούς τών ασεβών * τού Πνεύματος τή δυνάμει καί ως Μάρτυς Κυρίου στεφθείσα * αιτείται πάσι τό μέγα έλεος. Apolytikion of St. Katherine - Plagal 1st Mode The all-blessed bride of Christ let us extol in song * Katerina the divine and protector of Sinai * our assistance and unfailing firm support; * for she did muzzle brilliantly * the ungodly clever men by the power of the Spirit. And now as a crowned Martyr * the great mercy she pleads for all of us. Κοντάκιον Ήχος β σ Προστασία τών Χριστιανών άκαταίσχυντε, μεσιτεία πρός τόν ποιητήν άμετάθετε, μή παρίδης άμαρτωλών δεήσεων φωνάς άλλά πρόφθαςον, ώς άγαθή, είς τήν βοήθειαν ήμων, τών πιστώς κραυγαζόντων σοι Τάχυνον είς πρεσβείαν καί σπεύσον είς ίκεσίαν, ή προστατεύουσα άεί, Θεοτόκε τών τιμώντων σε. 2

3 Kontakion - Second Tone A protection of Christians unshamable, * intercessor to our Holy Maker, unwavering, * reject not * the prayerful cries of those who are in sin. * Instead, come to us, for you are good; * your loving help bring unto us, * who are crying in faith to you: * Hasten to intercede * and speed now to supplicate, * as a protection for all time, * Theotokos, for those who honor you. The Reading is from St. Paul's Letter to the Romans 2:10-16 BRETHREN, glory and honor and peace for every one who does good, the Jew first and also the Greek. For God shows no partiality. All who have sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law. For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified. When Gentiles who have not the law do by nature what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. They show that what the law requires is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness and their conflicting thoughts accuse or perhaps excuse them on that day when, according to my gospel, God judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus. The Reading is from The Gospel of Matthew 4:18-23 At that time, as Jesus walked by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. And he said to them, "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." Immediately they left their nets and followed him. And going on from there he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets, and he called them. Immediately they left their boat and their father, and followed him. And he went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every infirmity among the people. 3
