1 A parish of the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America August 5, 2018 Transfiguration of Christ 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 5 th in the Holy Orthodox Church, we commemorate the divine Transfiguration of our Lord, God and Savior Jesus Christ. Verses Tabor was glorified above earth s every region When it looked upon God s nature shining in glory. On the sixth Christ transformed His form as a man. This glorious event is recorded in the Gospels of Mark (9:2-13), Luke (9:28-36 in Orthros) and Matthew (17:1-9 in Liturgy). In the third year of His preaching, the Lord Jesus often spoke to His disciples of His approaching passion and His glorious Resurrection. So that His impending passion would not totally weaken His disciples, the All-wise Savior wanted to show them His divine glory before His passion on the Holy Cross. (This is why we sing the Katavasias of the Holy Cross on this day.) For that reason, He took Peter, James and John with Him and went out at night to Mount Tabor. The Lord took only three disciples on Tabor because the Lord did not want to leave the unworthy Judas alone at the foot of the mountain so that the betrayer would not, by that, justify his betrayal. Our Lord was transfigured on a mountain and not in a valley to teach us two virtues: love of labor and godly-thoughts. For, climbing to the heights required labor and height represents the heights of our thoughts, i.e., godly-thoughts. Moses and Elijah appeared in order to destroy the erroneous thought of the Jews that the Christ is one of the prophets; that is why He appears as a King above the prophets and that is why Moses and Elijah appear as His servants. Until then, our Lord manifested His divine power many times to the disciples but, on Mount Tabor, He manifested His divine nature. This vision of His Divinity and the hearing of the heavenly witness about Him as the Son of God would serve the disciples in the days of the Lord s passion, in strengthening of an unwavering faith in Him and His final victory. Unto Christ God be glory and dominion unto the ages. 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.

O Lord, how manifold are Thy works; in wisdom hast Thou made them all. Bless the Lord, O my soul. The Reading from the Second Epistle of St. Peter. Brethren, be the more zealous to confirm your call and election, for if you do this you will never fall; so there will be richly provided for you an entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Therefore, I intend always to remind you of these things, though you know them and are established in the truth that you have. I think it right, as long as I am in this body, to arouse you by way of reminder, since I know that the putting off of my body will be soon, as our Lord Jesus Christ showed me. And I will see to it that after my departure you may be able at any time to recall these things. For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. For when He received honor and glory from God the Father and the voice was borne to Him by THE EPISTLE (1:10-19) ب ح ك م ة ص ن ع ت. ما أ عظ م أ عمال ك يا ر ب ك ل ها بار كي يا ن ف سي للر ب أي ها الر ب إل هي ل ق د ع ظ م ت ج د ا. ف ص ل م ن ر سال ة الق د يس ب ط ر س الر سول الث ان ي ة الجام ع ة. د عو ت ك م وان ت خاب ك م ة اج ت ه د وا أن ت ج ع ل وا يا إخو ثاب ت ي ن. ف إن ك م إذا ف ع ل ت م ذ ل ك ال ت ز ل ون أب د ا وه ك ذا ت م ن ح ون ب سخاء أن ت د خ لوا م ل كوت ر ب نا وم خ ل ص نا ي سوع الم سيح األب د ي. ل ذ ل ك ال أ ه م ل ت ذ كير ك م دائ ما ب ه ذ ه األ مور وإن ك ن ت م عال م ين ب ها و ارس خ ين في الح ق الحاض ر. وأ ر ى م ن الح ق أن ي ما د م ت في الم سك ن أ ن ه ض ك م بالت ذ كير. فإن ي أ ع ل م أ ن خ ل ع ه ذا م سك ني ق ريب ك ما أ ع ل ن لي ر ب نا ي سوع الم سيح وسأ ج ت ه د أن ي كون ل ك م ب عد خ روجي ت ذ ك ر ه ذ ه م ص ن ع ة إذ األ مور ك ل حين ألن ا ل م ن ت ب ع خ ارفات أ ع ل م ناك م ق و ة ر ب نا ي سوع الم سيح وم جيئ ه ب ل ك ن ا م عاي ن ين ج الل ه ألن ه أ خ ذ م ن هللا اآلب الك ارم ة و ت ي قول : ص والم جد إذ جاء ه م ن الم جد الف خيم 5

6 the Majestic Glory, This is My beloved Son, with Whom I am well pleased, we heard this voice borne from heaven, for we were with Him on the holy mountain. And we have the prophetic word made surer. You will do well to pay attention to this as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. ه و اب ني الح بيب ال ذي ب ه سر ر ت وق د ه ذا سم ع نا ن حن ه ذا الص و ت آت ي ا م ن الس ماء حين ك ن ا م ع ه في الج ب ل الم ق د س. وع ن د نا أ ث ب ت م ن ذ ل ك أ ص غ ي ت م إل ي ه وه و ك الم األن ب ياء ال ذي ت ح س نون إذا ك أن ه م صباح ي ضيء في م كان م ظ ل م إلى أن ي ن ف ج ر الن هار وي ش ر ق ك و ك ب الص ب ح في ق لوب ك م. The Reading from the Holy Gospel according to St. Matthew. At that time, Jesus took with Him Peter and James and John his brother, and led them up a high mountain apart. And He was transfigured before them, and His face shone like the sun, and His garments became white as light. And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with Him. And Peter said to Jesus, Lord, it is well that we are here; if Thou wilt, I will make three booths here, one for Thee and one for Moses and one for Elijah. He was still speaking, when lo, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, This is My beloved Son, with Whom I am well pleased; hear Him. When the disciples heard this, they fell on their faces, and were filled with awe. But Jesus came and touched them, saying, Rise, and have no fear. And when they lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only. And as they were coming down the mountain, Jesus commanded them, Tell no one the vision, until the Son of man is risen from the dead. 6 THE GOSPEL (17:1-9) 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. في ذ ل ك الز مان أ خ ذ ي سوع ب ط ر س وي ع قوب ويوح ن ا أخاه ف أ ص ع د ه م إلى ج ب ل عال ع لى ان ف ارد جه ه كالش م س وصار ت وت ج ل ى ق د ام ه م وأضاء و ث ياب ه ب ي ضاء كالن ور. وإذا موسى وإيلي ا ت ارءيا ل ه م ي خاط بان ه ف أ جاب ب ط ر س وقال ل ي سوع : يا ر ب ح سن أن ن كون ه ه نا. وإن ش ئ ت ف ل ن ص ن ع ه ه نا ث الث م ظال واح د ة ل ك وواح د ة ل موسى وواحدة سحاب ة ن ي ر ة ق د ظ ل ل ت ه م ه و ي ت ك ل م إذا إليلي ا. وفيما ه و اب ني الح بيب و ت م ن الس حاب ة ي قول : ه ذا وص سم ع الت الميذ ال ذي ب ه سر ر ت ف ل ه اسمع وا. ف ل م ا ج ه ه م وخافوا ج د ا ف د نا ي سوع إل ي ه م سق ط وا ع لى أ و ول م سه م قائ ال : قوموا ال ت خاف وا. ف ر ف عوا أ ع ي ن ه م حد ه وفيما ه م ناز لون ا أ ح د ا إال ي سوع و ف ل م ي ر و أ وصاه م ي سوع قائ ال : ال ت ع ل م وا أ ح د ا م ن الج ب ل بالر ؤيا ح ت ى ي قوم اب ن الب ش ر م ن ب ي ن األم وات.
