2 Today s Gospel Mark 12:35-44 And as Jesus taught in the temple, he said, How can the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David? David himself, inspired by the Holy Spirit, declared, `The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, till I put your enemies under your feet.' David himself calls him Lord; so how is he his son? And the great throng heard him gladly. And in his teaching he said, Beware of the scribes, who like to go about in long robes, and to have salutations in the market places and the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at feasts, who devour widows' houses and for a pretense make long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation. And he sat down opposite the treasury, and watched the multitude putting money into the treasury. Many rich people put in large sums. And a poor widow came, and put in two copper coins, which make a penny. And he called his disciples to him, and said to them, Truly, I say to you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the treasury. For they all contributed out of their abundance; but she out of her poverty has put in everything she had, her whole living. Turn Back / Throw Back Sunday **Divine Liturgy by Candlelight** On Sunday, November 4 th, St. John will be having a Candlelight Divine Liturgy.

The Priest answers: Տացէ քեզ Տէր ըստ սրտի քում եւ զամենայն խորհուրդս քո ի բարիս նա կատարեսցէ: Datseh kez Der usd srdee koom yev zamenayn khorhoortus koh ee parees na gadarestseh. May the Lord grant you according to your own heart, and fulfill all your desires. (Psalm 20:4) When taking Mahs the GIVER says: Մաս եւ բաժին եղիցի քեզ ի Սուրբ Պատարագէս: Mahs yev pazheen yegheetsee kez ee Soorp Badarakes. May this be to you a share and portion of the Holy Sacrifice. The RECEIVER says: Բաժին իմ Աստուած յաւիտեան: Pahjeen eem Asdvadz haveedyan. My portion is God forever. The Kiss of Peace Kreesdos ee mech mer haydnetsav. The GIVER says: Christ is revealed amongst us. Orhnyal eh haydnootyoonun Kreesdosee. The RECEIVER says: Blessed is the revelation of Christ. Քրիստոս ի մէջ մեր յայտնեցաւ: / Օրհնեալ է յայտնութիւնն Քրիստոսի: The Psalm of Dismissal - Psalm 34 Օրհնեցից ըզտէր յամենայն ժամ, յամենայն ժամ, oրհնութիւն նորա ի բերան իմ: Orhnetseets uzder hamenayn zham, hamenayn zham orhnootyoon nora ee peran eem. I will bless the Lord at all times. His praise shall be at all times in my mouth.
