Resurrectional Apolytikion in the Fourth Mode

Having learned the joyful proclamation of the Resurrection from the Angel, and having cast off the ancestral condemnation, the women disciples of the Lord spake to the Apostles exultantly: Death is despoiled and Christ God is risen, granting great mercy to the world.

Τὸ φαιδρὸν τῆς Ἀναστάσεως κήρυγμα, ἐκ τοῦ Ἀγγέλου μαθοῦσαι αἱ τοῦ Κυρίου Μαθήτριαι, καὶ τὴν προγονικὴν ἀπόφασιν ἀπορρίψασαι, τοῖς Ἀποστόλοις καυχώμεναι ἔλεγον· Ἐσκύλευται ὁ θάνατος, ἠγέρθη Χριστὸς ὁ Θεός, δωρούμενος τῷ κόσμῳ τὸ μέγα ἔλεος.

Seasonal Kontakion in the Plagal Second Mode

O Master, Prudence, Guide of Wisdom, Instruction to the foolish and Defender of the poor, strengthen my heart and grant it discernment. Give me words, Word of the Father, for behold, I shall not keep my lips from crying out to You, "O Merciful One, have mercy on me who has fallen."

Τῆς σοφίας ὁδηγέ, φρονήσεως χορηγέ, τῶν ἀφρόνων παιδευτά, καὶ πτωχῶν ὑπερασπιστά, στήριξον, συνέτισον τὴν καρδίαν μου Δέσποτα. Σὺ δίδου μοι λόγον, ὁ τοῦ Πατρός Λόγος· ἰδοὺ γὰρ τὰ χείλη μου, οὐ μὴ κωλύσω ἐν τῷ κράζειν σοι· Ἐλεῆμον, ἐλέησόν με τὸν παραπεσόντα.

Fourth Orthros Gospel

The Reading is from Luke 24:1-12

On the first day of the week, at early dawn, the women went to the tomb, taking the spices which they had prepared. And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they went in they did not find the body. While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel; and as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, "Why do you seek the living among the dead? Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, that the Son of man must be delivered in to the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise." And they remembered his words, and returning from the tomb they told all this to the eleven and to all the rest. Now it was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna and Mary the mother of James and the other women with them who told this to the apostles; but these words seemed to them an idle tale, and they did not believe them.But Peter rose and ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths by themselves; and he went home wondering at what had happened.

Fourth Orthros Gospel

Κατὰ Λουκᾶν 24:1-12

Καὶ τὸ μὲν σάββατον ἡσύχασαν κατὰ τὴν ἐντολήν, Τῇ δὲ μιᾷ τῶν σαββάτων ὄρθρου βαθέος ἦλθον ἐπὶ τὸ μνῆμα φέρουσαι ἃ ἡτοίμασαν ἀρώματα, καί τινες σὺν αὐταῖς. εὗρον δὲ τὸν λίθον ἀποκεκυλισμένον ἀπὸ τοῦ μνημείου, καὶ εἰσελθοῦσαι οὐχ εὗρον τὸ σῶμα τοῦ Κυρίου ᾿Ιησοῦ. καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ διαπορεῖσθαι αὐτὰς περὶ τούτου καὶ ἰδοὺ ἄνδρες δύο ἐπέστησαν αὐταῖς ἐν ἐσθήσεσιν ἀστραπτούσαις. ἐμφόβων δὲ γενομένων αὐτῶν καὶ κλινουσῶν τὸ πρόσωπον εἰς τὴν γῆν εἶπον πρὸς αὐτάς· τί ζητεῖτε τὸν ζῶντα μετὰ τῶν νεκρῶν; οὐκ ἔστιν ὧδε, ἀλλ᾿ ἠγέρθη· μνήσθητε ὡς ἐλάλησεν ὑμῖν ἔτι ὢν ἐν τῇ Γαλιλαίᾳ, λέγων ὅτι δεῖ τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου παραδοθῆναι εἰς χεῖρας ἀνθρώπων ἁμαρτωλῶν καὶ σταυρωθῆναι, καὶ τῇ τρίτῃ ἡμέρᾳ ἀναστῆναι. καὶ ἐμνήσθησαν τῶν ῥημάτων αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὑποστρέψασαι ἀπὸ τοῦ μνημείου ἀπήγγειλαν ταῦτα πάντα τοῖς ἕνδεκα καὶ πᾶσι τοῖς λοιποῖς. ἦσαν δὲ ἡ Μαγδαληνὴ Μαρία καὶ ᾿Ιωάννα καὶ Μαρία ᾿Ιακώβου καὶ οἱ λοιπαὶ σὺν αὐταῖς, αἳ ἔλεγον πρὸς τοὺς ἀποστόλους ταῦτα. καὶ ἐφάνησαν ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν ὡσεὶ λῆρος τὰ ῥήματα αὐτῶν, καὶ ἠπίστουν αὐταῖς. ὁ δὲ Πέτρος ἀναστὰς ἔδραμεν ἐπὶ τὸ μνημεῖον, καὶ παρακύψας βλέπει τὰ ὀθόνια κείμενα μόνα, καὶ ἀπῆλθε πρὸς ἑαυτόν, θαυμάζων τὸ γεγονός.

Prokeimenon. Plagal Fourth Mode. Psalm 75.11,1.

Make your vows to the Lord our God and perform them.

Verse: God is known in Judah; his name is great in Israel.

The reading is from St. Paul's Letter to the Romans 13:11-14; 14:1-4.

Brethren, salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed; the night is far gone, the day is at hand. Let us then cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light; let us conduct ourselves becomingly as in the day, not in reveling and drunkenness, not in debauchery and licentiousness, not in quarreling and jealousy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.As for the man who is weak in faith, welcome him, but not for disputes over opinions. One believes he may eat anything, while the weak man eats only vegetables. Let not him who eats despise him who abstains, and let not him who abstains pass judgment on him who eats; for God has welcomed him. Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for God is able to make him stand.

Προκείμενον. Plagal Fourth Mode. ΨΑΛΜΟΙ 75.11,1.

Εὔξασθε καὶ ἀπόδοτε Κυρίῳ τῷ Θεῷ ἡμῶν.

Στίχ. Γνωστὸς ἐν τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ ὁ Θεός, ἐν τῷ Ἰσραὴλ μέγα τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ.

τὸ Ἀνάγνωσμα Πρὸς ῾Ρωμαίους 13:11-14, 14:1-4.

Ἀδελφοί, νῦν ἐγγύτερον ἡμῶν ἡ σωτηρία ἢ ὅτε ἐπιστεύσαμεν. Ἡ νὺξ προέκοψεν, ἡ δὲ ἡμέρα ἤγγικεν· ἀποθώμεθα οὖν τὰ ἔργα τοῦ σκότους, καί ἐνδυσώμεθα τὰ ὅπλα τοῦ φωτός. Ὡς ἐν ἡμέρᾳ, εὐσχημόνως περιπατήσωμεν, μὴ κώμοις καὶ μέθαις, μὴ κοίταις καὶ ἀσελγείαις, μὴ ἔριδι καὶ ζήλῳ. Ἀλλʼ ἐνδύσασθε τὸν κύριον Ἰησοῦν Χριστόν, καὶ τῆς σαρκὸς πρόνοιαν μὴ ποιεῖσθε, εἰς ἐπιθυμίας. Τὸν δὲ ἀσθενοῦντα τῇ πίστει προσλαμβάνεσθε, μὴ εἰς διακρίσεις διαλογισμῶν. Ὃς μὲν πιστεύει φαγεῖν πάντα, ὁ δὲ ἀσθενῶν λάχανα ἐσθίει. Ὁ ἐσθίων τὸν μὴ ἐσθίοντα μὴ ἐξουθενείτω, καὶ ὁ μὴ ἐσθίων τὸν ἐσθίοντα μὴ κρινέτω· ὁ θεὸς γὰρ αὐτὸν προσελάβετο. Σὺ τίς εἶ ὁ κρίνων ἀλλότριον οἰκέτην; Τῷ ἰδίῳ κυρίῳ στήκει ἢ πίπτει. Σταθήσεται δέ· δυνατὸς γάρ ἐστιν ὁ θεὸς στῆσαι αὐτόν.

Forgiveness Sunday

the Reading is from Matthew 6:14-21

The Lord said, "If you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father also will forgive you; but if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. "And when you fast, do not look dismal, like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces that their fasting may be seen by men. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, that your fasting may not be seen by men but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you."Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."

Forgiveness Sunday

Κατὰ Ματθαῖον 6:14-21

Εἶπεν ὁ Κύριος· ᾿Εὰν γὰρ ἀφῆτε τοῖς ἀνθρώποις τὰ παραπτώματα αὐτῶν, ἀφήσει καὶ ὑμῖν ὁ πατὴρ ὑμῶν ὁ οὐράνιος· ἐὰν δὲ μὴ ἀφῆτε τοῖς ἀνθρώποις τὰ παραπτώματα αὐτῶν, οὐδὲ ὁ πατὴρ ὑμῶν ἀφήσει τὰ παραπτώματα ὑμῶν. ῞Οταν δὲ νηστεύητε, μὴ γίνεσθε ὥσπερ οἱ ὑποκριταὶ σκυθρωποί· ἀφανίζουσι γὰρ τὰ πρόσωπα αὐτῶν ὅπως φανῶσι τοῖς ἀνθρώποις νηστεύοντες· ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ἀπέχουσι τὸν μισθὸν αὐτῶν. σὺ δὲ νηστεύων ἄλειψαί σου τὴν κεφαλὴν καὶ τὸ πρόσωπόν σου νίψαι,ὅπως μὴ φανῇς τοῖς ἀνθρώποις νηστεύων, ἀλλὰ τῷ πατρί σου τῷ ἐν τῷ κρυπτῷ, καὶ ὁ πατήρ σου ὁ βλέπων ἐν τῷ κρυπτῷ ἀποδώσει σοι ἐν τῷ φανερῷ. Μὴ θησαυρίζετε ὑμῖν θησαυροὺς ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, ὅπου σὴς καὶ βρῶσις ἀφανίζει, καὶ ὅπου κλέπται διορύσσουσι καὶ κλέπτουσι· θησαυρίζετε δὲ ὑμῖν θησαυροὺς ἐν οὐρανῷ, ὅπου οὔτε σὴς οὔτε βρῶσις ἀφανίζει, καὶ ὅπου κλέπται οὐ διορύσσουσιν οὐδὲ κλέπτουσιν· ὅπου γάρ ἐστιν ὁ θησαυρὸς ὑμῶν, ἐκεῖ ἔσται καὶ ἡ καρδία ὑμῶν.

Spiros Bessios -  9 Days Memorial

On Saturday, February 10, 17, 24, special services will be conducted and special prayers will be offered for all departed brothers and sisters in the Lord. “Kolyva” can be prepared and brought to Church together with the name of the deceased. To order Kolyva plates or to give names to the priest, please call the Church office. Please plan to attend the liturgies and give the names of your departed loved ones to Father Nicolas so that he may commemorate them during the Memorial Service. When these days appear, we know that we are approaching the Great Lent in preparation for Easter. The prayers for the dead benefit those who pray for the departed. They remind us that now is the time for moral development and improvement for faith, repentance, and love.

Please bring your slip with the names to church before the liturgy.

ΨΥΧΟΣΑΒΒΑΤΑ—Η Ορθόδοξος Εκκλησία μας, μας διδάσκει ότι υπάρχει στενός δεσμός μεταξύ των ζώντων και των κεκοιμημένων η τεθνεώτων. Ο δεσμός αυτός είναι ο δεσμός της προσευχής, και η Εκκλησία μας παροτρύνει να προσευχώμεθα τακτικά δια τας ψυχάς των κεκοιμημένων συγγενών και φύλων. Ως εκ τούτου, η Αγία μας Ορθόδοξος Εκκλησία έχει ορίσει ορισμένα Σάββατα του έτους ως Σάββατα των Ψύχων η ΨΥΧΟΣΑΒΒΑΤΑ! Ενθυμηθείτε τους προσφιλείς κεκοιμημένους της οικογενείας σας κατά τα ερχόμενα Ψυχοσάββατα.

Κόλυβα μπορείτε να παραγγείλετε στο γραφείο της Εκκλησίας. Παρακαλώ φέρτε τη λίστα με τα ονόματα των αγαπημένων σας πριν την έναρξη της Θείας Λειτουργίας.

"Fasting is a divine commandment (Gen 2:16-17). According to Basil the Great, fasting is as old as humanity itself; it was prescribed in paradise (On Fasting, 1, 3. PG 31, 168A). It is a great spiritual endeavor and the foremost expression of the Orthodox ascetic ideal. The Orthodox Church, in strict conformity with the apostolic precepts, the synodal canons, and the patristic tradition as a whole, has always proclaimed the great significance of fasting for our spiritual life and salvation. The annual liturgical cycle reflects the entire patristic teaching on fasting, the teaching on constant and unceasing watchfulness of the human person, and our participation in spiritual struggles. Accordingly, the Triodion praises fasting as grace that is full of light, as an invincible weapon, the beginning of spiritual struggles, the perfect path of virtues, the nourishment for the soul, the source of all wisdom, life imperishable, an imitation of the angelic life, the mother of all good things and virtues. (…) "As a spiritual endeavor, the true fast is inseparable from unceasing prayer and genuine repentance. Repentance without fasting is fruitless (Basil the Great, On Fasting 1, 3. PG 31, 168A), as fasting without merciful deeds is dead, especially nowadays when the unequal and unjust distribution of goods deprives entire nations of their daily bread. (…) "Abstinence from certain foods during the fast and temperance, not only with regard to what to eat but also how much to eat, constitutes a visible aspect of this spiritual endeavor. “In the literal sense, fasting is abstinence from food, but food makes us neither more nor less righteous. However, in the spiritual sense, it is clear that, as life comes from food for each of us and the lack of food is a symbol of death, so it is necessary that we fast from worldly things, in order that we might die to the world and after this, having partaken of the divine nourishment, live in God” (Clement of Alexandria, From the Prophetic Eclogae. PG 9, 704D-705A). Therefore, the true fast affects the entire life in Christ of the faithful and is crowned by their participation in divine worship, particularly in the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist."

Ἡ νηστεία εἶναι θεία ἐντολή (Γεν. β’, 16-17). Κατά τόν Μ. Βασίλειον, «συνηλικιῶτίς ἐστι τῆς ἀνθρωπότητος· νηστεία γάρ ἐν τῷ παραδείσῳ ἐνομοθετήθη» (Περί νηστείας, 1, 3. PG 31, 168A). Εἶναι μέγα πνευματικόν ἀγώνισμα καί ἡ κατ’ ἐξοχήν ἔκφρασις τοῦ ἀσκητικοῦ ἰδεώδους τῆς Ὀρθοδοξίας. Ἡ Ὀρθόδοξος Ἐκκλησία ἀπαρεγκλίτως στοιχοῦσα εἴς τε τά ἀποστολικά θεσπίσματα καί τούς συνοδικούς κανόνας καί εἰς τήν καθ’ ὅλου πατερικήν παράδοσιν, διεκήρυξε πάντοτε τήν ὑψίστην ἀξίαν τῆς νηστείας διά τόν πνευματικόν βίον τοῦ ἀνθρώπου καί τήν σωτηρίαν αὐτοῦ. Εἰς τόν κύκλον τῆς λατρείας τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ τοῦ Κυρίου προβάλλεται ἡ ὅλη περί τῆς νηστείας πατερική παράδοσις καί διδασκαλία διά τήν συνεχῆ καί ἀδιάπτωτον ἐγρήγορσιν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου καί τήν ἐπίδοσιν αὐτοῦ εἰς τούς πνευματικούς ἀγῶνας. Διό καί ὑμνεῖται εἰς τό Τριῴδιον ὡς χάρις πολύφωτος, ὡς ὅπλον ἀκαταμάχητον, ὡς πνευματικῶν ἀγώνων ἀρχή, ὡς καλλίστη τρίβος ἀρετῶν, ὡς τροφή ψυχῆς, ὡς πηγή φιλοσοφίας ἁπάσης, ὡς ἀφθάρτου διαγωγῆς καί ἰσαγγέλου πολιτείας τό μίμημα, ὡς μήτηρ τῶν ἀγαθῶν ἁπάντων καί πασῶν τῶν ἀρετῶν.

Ἡ ἀληθής νηστεία, ὡς πνευματικόν ἀγώνισμα, συνδέεται πρός τήν ἀδιάλειπτον προσευχήν καί τήν εἰλικρινῆ μετάνοιαν. «Μετάνοια χωρὶς νηστείας ἀργή» (Μ. Βασιλείου, Περί νηστείας 1, 3. PG 31, 168A), ὡς ἐπίσης καί νηστεία ἄνευ ἔργων εὐποιΐας εἶναι νεκρά, ἰδίᾳ δέ κατά τήν σύγχρονον ἐποχήν, καθ’ ἥν ἡ ἄνισος καί ἄδικος κατανομή τῶν ἀγαθῶν στερεῖ καί αὐτοῦ τοῦ ἐπιουσίου ἄρτου ὁλοκλήρους λαούς.

Ἡ κατά τήν νηστείαν ἀποχή ἔκ τινων καθωρισμένων τροφῶν καί ἡ κατ’ αὐτήν ὀλιγάρκεια, οὐ μόνον κατά τό εἶδος, ἀλλά καί κατά τήν ποσότητα τῶν μεταλαμβανομένων τροφῶν, ἀποτελοῦν τό αἰσθητόν στοιχεῖον τοῦ πνευματικοῦ ἀγωνίσματος. «Ἡ νηστεία ἀποχὴ τροφῆς ἐστι κατὰ τὸ σημαινόμενον. Τροφὴ δὲ οὐδὲν δικαιοτέρους ἡμᾶς ἢ ἀδικωτέρους ἀπεργάζεται· κατὰ δὲ τὸ μυστικὸν δηλοῖ ὅτι, ὥσπερ τοῖς καθ’ ἕνα ἐκ τροφῆς ἡ ζωή, ἡ δὲ ἀτροφία θανάτου σύμβολον, οὕτω καὶ ἡμᾶς τῶν κοσμικῶν νηστεύειν χρή, ἵνα τῷ κόσμῳ ἀποθάνωμεν, καὶ μετὰ τοῦτο, τροφῆς θείας μεταλαβόντες, Θεῷ ζήσωμεν» (Κλήμεντος Ἀλεξανδρέως, Ἐκ τῶν Προφητικῶν Ἐκλογαί. ΡG 9, 704D-705A). Oὕτως, ἡ ἀληθής νηστεία ἀναφέρεται εἰς τήν καθ’ ὅλου ἐν Χριστῷ ζωήν τῶν πιστῶν καί κορυφοῦται διά τῆς συμμετοχῆς αὐτῶν εἰς τήν θείαν λατρείαν καί ἰδίᾳ εἰς τό μυστήριον τῆς Θείας Εὐχαριστίας.

The gift of God's forgiveness is received through private prayer, corporate worship, the disciplines of prayer and fasting, penitential services and above all through the sacrament of Holy Confession. It is also part of our total spiritual preparation during the fast periods leading up to the great feasts of Easter. Fr. Nicolas is available to hear confessions. For appointment, please contact the Church Office.

The Sacrament of Confession in the Orthodox Church

Η εξομολόγηση ειναι ἕνα δῶρο τοῦ Θεοῦ ποὺ χαρίζεται σὲ ὅσους τὸ ζητοῦν μὲ τὴν προσευχὴ καὶ τὸ ἐπιδιώκουν μὲ τὴ γενναία καὶ τίμια βυθοσκόπηση τοῦ ἑαυτοῦ τους, με την νηστεία και την αυτοκριτική. Είναι μέρος της πνευματικής προετοιμασίας για την περίοδο της νηστείας που μας οδηγεί στην μεγάλη νηστεία του Πάσχα. Ο Πάτερ Νικόλαος είναι στη διάθεση σας για εξομολόγηση. Για ραντεβού παρακαλώ επικοινωνήστε με το γραφείο της Εκκλησίας.

"Come, O blessed of my father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was sick and you visited me." (Matt. 25:31-46).

When a member of our Parish is ill and has been hospitalized or may be recuperating at home, the immediate family of the ill person should contact Father Nicolas at  (212) 795-5870. It is beneficial to both the body and the soul when our priest prays for us when we are healthy or ill.

"Ελάτε, εσείς οι ευλογημένοι από τον Πατέρα μου, κληρονομήστε τη βασιλεία που έχει ετοιμαστεί για εσάς από τη θεμελίωση του κόσμου. Αρρώστησα και με φροντίσατε." (Ματθαίος 25: 31-46).

Όταν ένα μέλος της Ενορίας μας είναι άρρωστο και νοσηλέυεται ή αναρρώνει στο σπίτι, η οικογένεια του αρρώστου πρέπει να επικοινωνήσει με τον Πατέρα Νικόλα στο (212) 795-5870. Είναι ευεργετικό τόσο για το σώμα όσο και για την ψυχή όταν ο ιερέας προσεύχεται για μας όταν είμαστε υγιείς ή άρρωστοι.

At this point, we need to increase the number of books and find one or two volunteers to start setting it up. If you are interested, please come and talk to me or call the church office.

Είμαστε πολύ ενθουσιασμένοι που ανακοινώνω ότι η κοινότητά μας ξεκινά μια ενοριακστην αίθουσα συνεδριάσεων. Έχουμε ήδη μια μικρή συλλογή εξαιρετικών βιβλίων, ειδικά για τα παιδιά. Σε αυτό το σημείο, πρέπει να αυξήσουμε τον αριθμό των βιβλίων και να βρούμε έναν ή δύο εθελοντές για να αρχίσουμε να το δημιουργούμε. Εάν ενδιαφέρεστε, παρακαλώ επισκεφθείτε ή τηλεφωνήστε στο γραφείο της εκκλησίας.
