Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom

Apolytikion for St. Raphael in the Fourth Tone

Because of the finding of your holy relics, wise

one, * the Island of Lesvos has been filled fully

with the grace, * which God richly gave to you. *

You, O devout martyr Raphael, paradoxically *

appeared to many people, and you grant cures

and healings. * And therefore we the faithful re-

joice in all your miracles.

Apolytikion for St. Raphael in the First Tone

To the offspring of Ithaca, the pride and joy of

Lesvos, * monastic martyrs’ glory, let us offer to

Raphael our songs of praise; * for lately he

appeared, and pours out cures and healings to us

all. * Inexplicably he appears to believers, both in

dreams and awake, who cry: * Glory to Christ

who gave you His might. * Glory to Him who gave

you miracles. * Glory to Him who through you

fulfills our prayerful requests.

Apolytikion in honor of Sts. Raphael, Nicholas &

Irene

Having contended on Lesvos for the sake of

Christ God, you have sanctified the island since

the discovery of your sacred relics, O blessed

ones; wherefore we honor you, O Godbearing

Raphael, together with Nicholas and virgin Irene,

as our divine protectors and intercessors with the

Lord.

Resurrectional Apolytikion in the Plagal

of the Second Tone

When the angelic powers appeared at Your grave, the soldiers

guarding it feared and became as dead. And standing by the

sepulcher was Mary who was seeking Your immaculate body.

You devastated Hades, not afflicted by it. You went to meet

the virgin, and granted eternal life. You resurrected from the

dead. O Lord, glory to You.

Apolytikion of the Saint in the Plagal of the Fourth Tone

Beacon of Orthodox belief, the strong support of the Church

and her teacher inspired by God, you are the ornament of

monks, the unassailable champion of theologians, O Gregory

the Wonder-worker and the boast of Thessalonica, the

messenger of grace. Forever earnestly entreat for the salvation

of our souls.

Kontakion for the Departed in the

Plagal of the Fourth Tone

Remember, O Lord, as You are good, Your servants, and

forgive every sin they have committed in this life. For no one

is sinless except You, Who have power to grant rest to those

who have fallen asleep.

Seasonal Kontakion in the Plagal of the Fourth Tone

To you, the champion leader, we your flock dedicate a feast

of victory and of thanksgiving, as ones rescued out of

suff’rings, O Theotokos; but as you are one with might which

is invincible, from all dangers that can be deliver us, that we

may cry to you: “Rejoice, O Bride unwedded.”

Τῇ ὑπερμάχῳ στρατηγῷ τὰ νικητήρια, ὡς λυτρωθεῖσα τῶν δεινῶν

εὐχαριστήρια, ἀναγράφω σοι ἡ Πόλις σου Θεοτόκε. Ἀλλ' ὡς ἔχουσα τὸ

κράτος ἀπροσμάχητον, ἐκ παντοίων με κινδύνων ἐλευθέρωσον, ἵνα κράζω

σοι· Χαῖρε νύμφη ἀνύμφευτε.


On this day we also commemorate:

Manuel the New Martyr of Crete; &

Holy Apostle Aristobulos of the Seventy, Bishop of Britain

EPISTLE READING

Prokeimenon. Mode Plagal 2.

Psalm 27.9,1

O Lord, save your people and bless your inheritance.

Verse: To you, O Lord, I have cried, O my God.

The reading is from St. Paul's Letter to the Hebrews 1:10-14; 2:1-3

"IN THE BEGINNING, Thou, Lord, didst found the earth in the beginning, and the heavens are

the work of thy hands; they will perish, but thou remainest; they will all grow old like a

garment, like a mantle thou wilt roll them up, and they will be changed. But thou art the same,

and thy years will never end." But to what angel has he ever said, "Sit at my right hand, till I

make thy enemies a stool for thy feet?" Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to serve,

for the sake of those who are to obtain salvation?

Therefore we must pay closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it. For if

the message declared by angels was valid and every transgression or disobedience received a

just retribution, how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? It was declared at first

by the Lord, and it was attested to us by those who heard him.

ΨΑΛΜΟΙ 27.9,1

Σῶσον, Κύριε τὸν λαὸν σου καὶ εὐλόγησον τὴν κληρονομίαν σου.

Στίχ. Πρὸς σἐ, Κύριε, κεκράξομαι ὁ Θεός μου.

Πρὸς Ἑβραίους 1:10-14, 2:1-3 τὸ ἀνάγνωσμα

Κατʼ ἀρχάς, Κύριε, τὴν γῆν ἐθεμελίωσας, καὶ ἔργα τῶν χειρῶν σού εἰσιν οἱ οὐρανοί· αὐτοὶ

ἀπολοῦνται, σὺ δὲ διαμένεις· καὶ πάντες ὡς ἱμάτιον παλαιωθήσονται, καὶ ὡσεὶ περιβόλαιον

ἑλίξεις αὐτοὺς, καὶ ἀλλαγήσονται· σὺ δὲ ὁ αὐτὸς εἶ, καὶ τὰ ἔτη σου οὐκ ἐκλείψουσιν. Πρὸς τίνα

τῶν ποδῶν σου; Οὐχὶ πάντες εἰσὶν λειτουργικὰ πνεύματα, εἰς διακονίαν ἀποστελλόμενα διὰ

τοὺς μέλλοντας κληρονομεῖν σωτηρίαν; Διὰ τοῦτο δεῖ περισσοτέρως ἡμᾶς προσέχειν τοῖς

ἀκουσθεῖσιν, μήποτε παραρρυῶμεν. Εἰ γὰρ ὁ διʼ ἀγγέλων λαληθεὶς λόγος ἐγένετο βέβαιος, καὶ

πᾶσα παράβασις καὶ παρακοὴ ἔλαβεν ἔνδικον μισθαποδοσίαν, πῶς ἡμεῖς ἐκφευξόμεθα

τηλικαύτης ἀμελήσαντες σωτηρίας; Ἥτις, ἀρχὴν λαβοῦσα λαλεῖσθαι διὰ τοῦ κυρίου, ὑπὸ τῶν

ἀκουσάντων εἰς ἡμᾶς ἐβεβαιώθη.

THE GOSPEL READING

The Gospel According to Mark 2:1-12

At that time, Jesus entered Capernaum and it was reported that he was at home. And many were

gathered together, so that there was no longer room for them, not even about the door; and he

was preaching the word to them. And they came, bringing to him a paralytic carried by four

men. And when they could not get near him because of the crowd, they removed the roof above

him; and when they had made an opening, they let down the pallet on which the paralytic lay.

And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "My son, your sins are forgiven." Now

some of the scribes were sitting there, questioning in their hearts, "Why does this man speak

thus? It is a blasphemy! Who can forgive sins but God alone?" And immediately Jesus,

perceiving in his spirit that they thus questioned within themselves, said to them, "Why do you

question thus in your hearts? Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or

to say, 'Rise, take up your pallet and walk? But that you may know that the Son of man has

authority on earth to forgive sins"-he said to the paralytic-"I say to you, rise, take up your pallet

and go home." And he rose, and immediately took up the pallet and went out before them all; so

that they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, "We never saw anything like this!"

Ἐκ τοῦ Κατὰ Μᾶρκον 2:1-12 Εὐαγγελίου τὸ Ἀνάγνωσμα

Τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ, εἰσῆλθεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἰς εἰς Καπερναοὺμ δι᾿ ἡμερῶν καὶ ἠκούσθη ὅτι εἰς οἶκόν

ἐστι. καὶ εὐθέως συνήχθησαν πολλοί, ὥστε μηκέτι χωρεῖν μηδὲ τὰ πρὸς τὴν θύραν· καὶ ἐλάλει

αὐτοῖς τὸν λόγον. καὶ ἔρχονται πρὸς αὐτὸν παραλυτικὸν φέροντες, αἰρόμενον ὑπὸ

τεσσάρων· καὶ μὴ δυνάμενοι προσεγγίσαι αὐτῷ διὰ τὸν ὄχλον, ἀπεστέγασαν τὴν στέγην ὅπου

ἦν, καὶ ἐξορύξαντες χαλῶσι τὸν κράβαττον, ἐφ᾿ ᾧ ὁ παραλυτικὸς κατέκειτο. ἰδὼν δὲ ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς

τὴν πίστιν αὐτῶν λέγει τῷ παραλυτικῷ· τέκνον, ἀφέωνταί σοι αἱ ἁμαρτίαι σου. ἦσαν δέ τινες

τῶν γραμματέων ἐκεῖ καθήμενοι καὶ διαλογιζόμενοι ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις αὐτῶν· τί οὗτος οὕτω

λαλεῖ βλασφημίας; τίς δύναται ἀφιέναι ἁμαρτίας εἰ μὴ εἷς ὁ Θεός; καὶ εὐθέως ἐπιγνοὺς ὁ

᾿Ιησοῦς τῷ πνεύματι αὐτοῦ ὅτι οὕτως αὐτοὶ διαλογίζονται ἐν ἑαυτοῖς, εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· τί ταῦτα

διαλογίζεσθε ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ὑμῶν; τί ἐστιν εὐκοπώτερον, εἰπεῖν τῷ παραλυτικῷ, ἀφέωνταί

σου αἱ ἁμαρτίαι, ἢ εἰπεῖν, ἔγειρε καὶ ἆρον τὸν κράβαττόν σου καὶ περιπάτει; ἵνα δὲ εἰδῆτε ὅτι

ἐξουσίαν ἔχει ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἀφιέναι ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ἁμαρτίας - λέγει τῷ παραλυτικῷ· σοὶ

λέγω, ἔγειρε καὶ ἆρον τὸν κράβαττόν σου καὶ ὕπαγε εἰς τὸν οἶκόν σου. καὶ ἠγέρθη εὐθέως, καὶ

ἄρας τὸν κράβαττον ἐξῆλθεν ἐναντίον πάντων, ὥστε ἐξίστασθαι πάντας καὶ δοξάζειν τὸν Θεὸν

λέγοντας ὅτι οὐδέποτε οὕτως εἴδομεν.

PRAYERS BEFORE HOLY COMMUNION

I believe and confess, Lord, that You are truly the Christ, the Son of the living God, Who came

into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the first. I also believe that this is truly Your pure

Body and that this is truly Your precious Blood. Therefore, I pray to You, have mercy upon me,

and forgive my transgressions, voluntary and involuntary, in word and deed, in knowledge or in

ignorance. And make me worthy, without condemnation, to partake of Your pure Mysteries for

the remission of sins and for eternal life. Amen.

How shall I, who am unworthy, enter into the splendor of Your saints? If I should dare to enter

into the bridal chamber, my vesture will condemn me, since it is not a wedding garment; and

being bound up, I shall be cast out by the angels. Cleanse, O Lord, the filth of my soul, and save

me, as You are the one Who loves mankind. In Your love, Lord, cleanse my soul, and save me.

Master Who loves mankind, Lord Jesus Christ, my God, let not these Holy Gifts be to my

judgment because I am unworthy, but rather for the purification and sanctification of both soul

and body and the pledge of the life and Kingdom to come. It is good for me to cleave unto God

and to place in Him the hope of my salvation.

O Son of God, receive me today as a partaker of Your mystical supper. For I will not speak of

the mystery to Your enemies, nor will I give You a kiss, as did Judas. But like the thief, I

confess to You: Remember me, Lord, in Your Kingdom.
