For more information, please see one of the ushers at the end of the service for a “Welcome Packet.” May God bless you and give you many healthy years in His service. Changes in the Liturgy Entrance Hymn O Come, let us worship and fall down before Christ. Save us, O Son of God, who art risen from the dead, who sing to Thee: Alleluia! Troparion of the Resurrection (Tone Six) When Mary stood at Thy grave looking for Thy sacred body, angelic powers shone above Thy revered tomb, and the soldiers who were to keep guard became as dead men. Thou led hades captive and wast not tempted thereby, Thou didst meet the virgin and didst give life to the world, O Thou who art risen from the dead, O Lord, glory to Thee. Troparion of St. Cyprian (Tone Four) By choosing the Apostles’ way of life, thou hast succeeded to their throne. Inspired by God, thou didst find the way to divine contemplation through the practice of virtue. After teaching the Word of Truth without error, thou didst defend the Faith to the very shedding of thy blood, O Hieromartyr Babylas. Entreat the Lord our God to save our souls. Troparion of the Dormition (Tone One) In thy birth giving O Theotokos, thou didst keep and preserve virginity; and in thy falling asleep thou hast not forsaken the world; for thou wast translated into life, being the Mother of Life. Wherefore by thine intercessions, deliver our souls from death. Kontakion of the Theotokos (Tone Two) O protection of Christians that cannot be put to shame, mediation unto the Creator most constant, O despise not the suppliant voices of those who have sinned; but be thou quick, O good one, to come unto our aid, who in faith cry unto thee: Hasten to intercession, and speed thou to make supplication, thou who dost ever protect, O Theotokos, them that honor thee. 2 Epistle for the Fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost O Lord, save thy people and bless thine inheritance! Unto thee have I cried, O Lord my God! The Reading is from Saint Paul’s Second Letter to the Corinthians (4:6-15). Brethren, it is the God who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," who has shown in our hearts the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, to show that the transcendent power belongs to God and not to us. We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. For while we live we are always being given up to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh. So death is at work in us, but life in you. Since we have the same spirit of faith as he had who wrote, "I believed, and so I spoke," we too believed, and so we speak, knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and bring us with you into his presence. For it is all for your sake, so that as grace extends to more and more people, it may increase thanksgiving, to the glory of God. Gospel for the Second Sunday of St. Luke The Reading from the Holy Gospel according to St. Luke. (6:31-36) The Lord said: “As you wish that men would do to you, do so to them. If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive as much again. But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He is kind to the ungrateful and the selfish. Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful.” 3 أحد اﻷشابين تعُّهد اﻷشاِبين وأَبنائهم الُّروِحِيين المعمدين بتثبيت المعمودية َ َ َ َّ RECONFIRMATION OF BAPTISMALَ ُ VOWS BY GODPARENTS AND GODCHILDَ Immediately before the Creed, the Priest invites the قبل ِق ارءِة دستوِارﻻيما ِن يطلب الكاهن من المصلين أن يتحولوا congregation to face west to reconfirm their َ َ َ ُ ُ َ :baptismal vows, saying ِ إلى الغرب لتجديد س ِر تثبيت المعمودية قائلين: ِِ PRIEST: Do you renounce Satan, and all الكاهن: أَتَ رُف ُض الشيطا َن وك َّل أَ عماله وجمي َع his angels, and all his works, and all his services, and all his pride?

  • Piety, Practices of Reading, and Inquisition. a Catalan Saint Cyprian Prayer from 1557 and Its Context1
    Acta Ethnographica Hungarica 64(2), 279–310 (2019) DOI: 10.1556/022.2019.64.2.2 Piety, Practices of Reading, and Inquisition. A Catalan Saint Cyprian Prayer from 1557 and Its Context1 Bernadett Smid Senior Lecturer, Eötvös Loránd University, Faculty of Humanities, Institute of Ethnography and Folklore, Department of Folklore, Hungary Abstract: The author of this article focuses on a defendant of an Inquisition trial (1641–1644) and its sources, namely a healing hermit and the Saint Cyprian prayer, published in Catalan in 1557 and used by the hermit as a verbal charm. Beyond the philological and folkloristic study of the prayer text, this paper presents the vulgarisation of reading skills and the realization of reading practice in a specific social context in the Principality of Catalonia. The author uses the most important and relevant theological literature of the period and the attestations of the trial as keys of reading. She pays special attention to the context of prayer and its actual social use. Her aim is to analyse the textual elements and gestures of the healing rite; hence, she investigates the probable readings of the healing specialist, which makes possible to reach a deeper understanding of the hermit’s role as a cultural mediator. Keywords: popular healing, charm, prayer of Saint Cyprian, reading practices, Catalan popular culture, 17th century, Inquisition, Solsona “Reading is always a practice embodied in gestures, spaces, and habits.” (Chartier 1992:51) INTRODUCTION Researchers of the history of reading have drawn attention to the fact that prints and chapbook publications found their way into the life of the “people” in many ways.

  • Foxe's Book of Martyrs
    FOXE'S BOOK OF MARTYRS CHAPTER I - History of Christian Martyrs to the First General Persecutions Under Nero Christ our Savior, in the Gospel of St. Matthew, hearing the confession of Simon Peter, who, first of all other, openly acknowledged Him to be the Son of God, and perceiving the secret hand of His Father therein, called him (alluding to his name) a rock, upon which rock He would build His Church so strong that the gates of hell should not prevail against it. In which words three things are to be noted: First, that Christ will have a Church in this world. Secondly, that the same Church should mightily be impugned, not only by the world, but also by the uttermost strength and powers of all hell. And, thirdly, that the same Church, notwithstanding the uttermost of the devil and all his malice, should continue. Which prophecy of Christ we see wonderfully to be verified, insomuch that the whole course of the Church to this day may seem nothing else but a verifying of the said prophecy. First, that Christ hath set up a Church, needeth no declaration. Secondly, what force of princes, kings, monarchs, governors, and rulers of this world, with their subjects, publicly and privately, with all their strength and cunning, have bent themselves against this Church! And, thirdly, how the said Church, all this notwithstanding, hath yet endured and holden its own! What storms and tempests it hath overpast, wondrous it is to behold: for the more evident declaration whereof, I have addressed this present history, to the end, first, that the wonderful works of God in His Church might appear to His glory; also that, the continuance and proceedings of the Church, from time to time, being set forth, more knowledge and experience may redound thereby, to the profit of the reader and edification of Christian faith.

  • Cyprian of Antioch Confession and Martyrdom Coptic
    Cyprian of Antioch Confession and Martyrdom Translation of the Coptic version Anthony Alcock The following is a relatively simple English version of the above-mentioned texts contained in a book that used to belong to the Monastery of Michael the Archangel at Phantoou near Hamouli in the Fayyum and has since found its way into the Pierpont Morgan Library (USA) with the designation M 609. The texts occupy fols. 53r to 100v. The text on each page is written in two columns of between 28 and 32 lines. There is a diagonal tear at the bottom of each page with the result that several lines in one of the columns can no longer be read, e.g. on page 4 the right-hand column is affected and page 5 the left, and I have indicated this gap simply by dots without specifying the number of the partially or wholly missing lines, usually between 3 and 5. The text is cited in W. E. Crum Coptic Dictionary as Mor 18, which means vol. 18 of the photograph edition.1 The texts have a colophon, which comes after the double title at the end of the two texts: it is faint, but there is a transcription of both in A. van Lantschoot Receuil des colophons des manuscrits chrétiens d'Égypte (1929) p. 50 and it can be found at the end after the two texts. It contains no information about the date of the texts, the scribe, the donor or the translator. Of the first text, the metanoia (Confession or Repentance)2, there is a Greek version (probably the original).

  • STROGANOV MINYEIAS OCTOBER Side a Row 1
    STROGANOV MINYEIAS OCTOBER Side A Row 1 October 1: Protection of the Mother of God [written Intercession of the Mother of God] - This feast commem- orates a vision of the Holy Fool Saint Andrew. The saint and his disciple Epiphanios were in a Constantino- ple Church when they saw a vision of the Mother of God coming through the Royal Doors in a procession with Angels, John the Baptist, and John the Evangelist. After praying for the souls of humanity the Mother of God laid her robe over the congregation of the church as a symbol of her protection over the faithful. On this feast the faithful commemorate the Mother of God as a protector and intercessor. October 1: Saint Ananias was an early disciple of Christ and is mentioned in Acts 9:10. He was com- manded by God to go to the house where Saul, later renamed Paul, was located and reverse his blind- ness. He was later martyred under orders of the prefect Lucian. October 1: Saint Romanos the Melodist was a 5th century Christian and Deacon at the Church of the Mother of God at Kyrou. He was a well respected as an ascetic but was often teased for his poor singing voice. Saint Romanos was disturbed by this and spent many hours in fervent prayer on the matter. It is said that he had a vision of the Mother of God who handed him a scroll and commanded that he swallow it. From that moment forward he became renowned not just for his beautiful singing but also as a composer of hymns.

  • Roman Martyrology by Month
    www.boston-catholic-journal.com Roman Martyrology by Month 1916 Edition January February March April May June July August September October November December The following is the complete text of the Roman Martyrology circa 1900 A.D. Many more Saints and Martyrs have since been entered into this calendar commemorating the heroic faith, the holy deeds, the exemplary lives, and in many cases the glorious deaths of these Milites Christi, or Soldiers of Christ, who gave 1 every fiber of their being to God for His glory, for the sanctification of His Holy Catholic Church, for the conversion of sinners both at home and in partibus infidelium 1, for the salvation of souls, and for the proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, even as He had last commanded His holy Apostles: “Euntes ergo docete omnes gentes: baptizantes eos in nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Docentes eos servare omnia quæcumque mandavi vobis.” “Going therefore, teach all nations: baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you.” (St. Matthew 28.19-20) While the Martyrology presented is complete, it nevertheless does not present us with great detail concerning the lives of those whose names are forever indited within it, still less the complete circumstances surrounding and leading up to their martyrdom. For greater detail of their lives, the sources now available on the Internet are extensive and we encourage you to explore them.2 As it stands, the Martyrology is eminently suited to a brief daily reflection that will inspire us to greater fervor, even to imitate these conspicuously holy men and women in whatever measure our own state in life affords us through the grace and providence of Almighty God.
