Vasyl Tymishak, his wife Alla and their son Volodymyr. There will be no charge for the luncheon. SUNDAY BEFORE THE EXALTATION OF THE CROSS - Post Feast of Nativity of Mother of God TROPAR (Tone 7): By Your cross You destroyed death; You opened Paradise to the thief; You changed the lamentation of the myrrh-bearers to joy, and charged the apostles to proclaim that You are risen, O Christ our God, offering great mercy to the world. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. KONDAK OF THE NATIVITY (Tone 4): Through your holy birth, O Immaculate One, Joachim and Anne were freed from the reproach of childlessness, and Adam and Eve from the corruption of death. Delivered from the guilt of sin, your people celebrate this when they cry out to you: She who is barren gives birth to the Mother of God and the Sustainer of our life. Now and forever and ever. Amen. KONDAK (Tone 7): No longer shall the dominion of death be able to hold humanity, for Christ went down shattering and destroying its powers. Hades is bound. The prophets exult with one voice. The Saviour has come for those with faith, saying: Come forth, O faithful, to the resurrection! PROKIMEN (Tone 6): Save Your people, O Lord, and bless Your inheritance. Verse: Unto You I will cry, O Lord my God, lest You turn from me in silence. EPISTLE: A reading from the Letter of the Holy Apostle Paul to the Galatians 6:11-18 ALLELUIA VERSES: I have promoted the one chosen from My people and anointed him with My holy oil. My hand will be constantly with him, he will be able to rely on My arm. GOSPEL: St. John 3:13-17 INSTEAD OF It is truly right : O my soul extol the Virgin Mary, born of a barren womb. Mothers cannot be virgins, nor virgins be mothers; but in you, O Mother of God, both virginity and motherhood were present. Therefore, all the people of the earth unceasingly extol you. COMMUNION HYMN: I will take the chalice of salvation; and I will call upon the name of the Lord. Praise the Lord from the heavens, Praise Him in the highest. Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
