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 19, th Sunday after Pentecost & 12 th Sunday of Matthew, After-Feast of the Dormition of the Theotokos 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 19 th in the Holy Orthodox Church we continue to celebrate the Dormition of the Most-Holy Theotokos; and we commemorate the holy Great Martyr Andrew the General, and the 2,593 perfected in martyrdom together with him. Verses A company poured out lakes of blood when slaughtered For Thy sake, Who hast poured forth the lakes of water. On the nineteenth they cut the radiant neck of Andrew. Andrew was a Syrian by birth and served in the Roman army in Syria. Andrew led the defense of the region against the menacing Persians. He told his soldiers before the battle that if they would call upon Christ the Lord, their enemies will scatter as dust. They did so enthusiastically, and the Persian army was utterly destroyed. When the victorious Andrew returned to Antioch some, who were envious, accused Andrew of being a Christian, which he openly confessed. After bitter tortures, the imperial deputy threw Andrew into prison and wrote to the emperor in Rome. Knowing Andrew s respect among the people and in the army, Maximian ordered the deputy to free Andrew and to seek another opportunity and reason (not his faith) to kill him. Through God s revelation, Andrew learned of the emperor s command and, taking with him his faithful soldiers, 2,593 in number, departed with them to Cilicia and there, all were baptized by Bishop Peter. Andrew with his detachment then withdrew further into the Armenian mountain Tavros. Here, in a ravine while they were at prayer, the Roman army caught up with them and all to the last one were beheaded. On this spot, where a stream of the martyr s blood flowed, a spring of healing water erupted which cured many from every disease. On this day, we also commemorate the Venerable Theophanes of Docheiariou monastery on Athos. By the intercessions of Thy Saints, O Christ God, have mercy upon us. Amen. 2

THE EPISTLE FOR THE 12 TH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST Sing praises to our God, sing praises. Clap your hands, all ye nations. The Reading from the First Epistle of St. Paul to the Corinthians. (15:1-11) Brethren, I would remind you in what terms I preached to you the Gospel, which you received, in which you stand, by which you are saved, if you hold it fast unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that He was buried, that He rose on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the Twelve. Then He appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. Then He appeared to James, then to all the Apostles. Last of all, as to one untimely born, He appeared also to me. For I am the least of the Apostles, unfit to رت ل وا إل له ن ا رت ل وا يا جميع األم م صف ق وا باأليادي فصل م ن رسالة القد يس بول س الرسول األولى إلى أه ل كورنثوس) 15:1-11 ( يا إخوة أ ع ر ف ك م باإلنجيل الذي ب ش ر ت ك م ب ه وق ب ل ت م وه وأنت م قائمون فيه * وب ه أيضا ت خ ل صون ب أ ي ك الم ب ش ر ت ك م ب ه إن ك ن ت م ت ذ ك ر ون إ ال أن ت ك ونوا ق د آم ن ت م باط ال * ف إ ن ي قد سل م ت إليك م أوال ما ت سل م ت ه أن المسيح مات م ن أج ل خطايانا على ما في الك ت ب * وأ ن ه ق ب ر وأ ن ه قد قام في اليوم لص ف ا ث م الثالث على ما في الك تب* وأ ن ه ت ارء ى اإلث ن ي ع ش ر * ث م ت ارء ى أل كث ر م ن خم س مئة ه م و ب ع ض أخ د ف ع ة واحد ة أكث ر ه م باق إ لى اآلن ق د ر ق د وا* ث م ت ارءى ل يعقوب ث م ل ج ميع الر سل * وآخ ر الك ل ت ارء ى ل ي أنا أيضا كأ ن ه ل ل س ق ط * ألن ي 5

6 be called an Apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God, which is with me. Whether then it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed. THE GOSPEL FOR THE 12 TH SUNDAY OF MATTHEW The Reading from the Holy Gospel according to St. Matthew. (19:16-26) At that time, a young man came up to Jesus, kneeling and saying, Good Teacher, what good deed must I do, to have eternal life? And He said to him, Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. If you would enter life, keep the commandments. He said to Him, Which? And Jesus said, You shall not kill, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not bear false witness, honor your father and mother, and you shall love your neighbor as yourself. The young man said to Him, All these I have observed; what do I still lack? Jesus said to him, If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me. When the young man heard this, he went away sorrowful; for he had great possessions. And Jesus said to his disciples, Truly, I say to you, it will be hard for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. When the disciples heard 6 ر س وال ل س ت أ ه ال ألن أ سم ى و الر س ل أنا أصغ ر ألن ي اض ط ه د ت كنيسة هللا* ولك ن بنعمة هللا أ نا ما أ نا. ون ع م ت ه الم ع طاة ل ي ل م ت ك ن باط ل ة ب ل ت ع ب ت أكث ر م ن جميع ه م. ولك ن ال أ نا ب ل نعمة هللا التي ف س واء ك ن ت أ نا أ م أ ولئ ك هكذا ن ك ر ز وهكذا معي* آم ن ت م. اإلن جيل ي ف ص ل ش ريف م ن ب شار ة الق د يس م ت ى الب شير والتل ميذ الطاه ر) 19:16-26 ( ج ثا ل ه في ذل ك الزمان د ن ا إلى يسوع شاب و قائ ال : أي ها ال م ع ل م الص ال ح ماذا أعمل م ن الصالح ل ت كون ل ي الحياة األبدي ة * ف ق ال ل ه : ل ماذا ت د ع ون ي و م ا صال ح إال واح د وه و هللا. ولك ن إ ن صال ح ا صايا* فقال ك ن ت ت ريد أن ت د خ ل الحياة فاحف ظ الو صايا قال يسوع : ال ت ق ت ل ال ت ز ن ل ه : أية و ت س ر ق ال ت ش ه د بالزور * أك ر م أ باك وأ م ك ال أ ح ب ب قريب ك ك ن ف س ك.* قال ل ه الشاب : ك ل هذا ي ن ق ص ن ي ب ع د * قال ق د ح ف ظ ت ه م ن ذ ص باي ف م اذا ل ه يسوع : إ ن ك ن ت ت ريد أن ت ك ون كام ال فاذ ه ب و ب ع ك ل شئ ل ك وأ ع ط ه ل ل م ساكين فيكون ل ك ك ن ز سم ع الشاب هذا في السماء. وت ع ال ات ب ع ن ي* ف ل ما الكالم م ض ى حزي نا ألن ه كان ذا مال كثير * فقال يسوع ل ت الميذ ه : الحق أقول ل ك م إ ن ه ي ع سر على الغ ن ي أن ي د خ ل ملكوت السماوات * وأ يضا أ ق ول ل ك م إن م رور الجم ل من ث ق ب اإلبرة ألسه ل م ن سم ع تالميذ ه د خ ول غ ن ي ملكوت السماوات* ف ل م ا
