Katelisas to Stavro Su ton thanaton, ineoxas to listi ton parathison, ton Miroforon ton thrinon metevales, ke tis sis Apos-

tolis kirittin epetaxas, oti anestis Christe o Theos, parehon to kosmo to mega eleos.

O Lord by Your sacred Cross You abolished death, and granted unto the thief blessed paradise. The Myrrh bearers

ceased lamenting and turned to joy. The apostles did preach the Good News at Your command, that You had risen from

the dead O Christ Our God, bestowing mercy upon the world evermore.

Metemorfothis en to ori, Christe o Theos, dixas tis mathites Sou tin doxan Sou, kathos idynando Lampson ke imin tis am-

artolis to fos Sou to aidion, presvies tis Theotokou Fotodota doxa Si.

When O Christ our God Thou wast Transfigured on the mountain Thou didst reveal Thy glory to Thy disciples in pro-

portion as they could bear it. Let Thine everlasting light also enlighten us sinners. Through the intercessions of the

Theotokos, O Thou Bestower of light, glory to Thee

On the mount Thou wast transfigured, and Thy disciples, as much as they could bear, beheld Thy glory, O Christ our

God; that when they should see Thee crucified, they would know Thy Passion to be willing, and would preach to the

world that Thou, in truth, art the Effulgence of the Father.

EEEpistlepistle -- St. Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians 1:10St. Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians 1:10 -- 1717 Prokeimenon. Mode 4

Psalm 18.4,1

Their voice has gone out into all the earth.

Verse: The heavens declare the glory of God.

The reading is from St. Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians

1:10-17

B rethren, I appeal to you by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree and that there be no dis-sensions among you, but that you be united in the same

mind and the same judgment. For it has been reported to me

by Chloe's people that there is quarreling among you, my

brethren. What I mean is that each one of you says, "I be-

long to Paul," or "I belong to Apollos," or "I belong to

Cephas," or "I belong to Christ." Is Christ divided? Was

Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of

Paul? I thank God that I baptized none of you except

Crispos and Gaius; lest any one should say that you were

baptized in my name. (I did baptize also the household of

Stephanas. Beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized

any one else.) For Christ did not send me to baptize but to

preach the gospel, and not with eloquent wisdom, lest the

cross of Christ be emptied of its power.

A t that time, Jesus saw a great throng; and he had com-passion on them, and healed their sick. When it was evening, the disciples came to him and said, "This is a lone-

ly place, and the day is now over; send the crowds away to

go into the villages and buy food for themselves." Jesus

said, "They need not go away; you give them something to

eat." They said to him, "We have only five loaves here and

two fish." And he said, "Bring them here to me." Then he

ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass; and taking the

five loaves and the two fish he looked up to heaven, and

blessed, and broke and gave the loaves to the crowds. And

they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up twelve

baskets full of the broken pieces left over. And those who

ate were about five thousand men, besides women and chil-

dren. Then he made the disciples get into the boat and go

before him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds.

prayer and confession. The Orthodox Church is not in sacramental com-

munion with any other church outside the Orthodox Christian Faith. If you

are not Orthodox, you are invited with everyone to receive the Antidoron
