During the Little Entrance, chant the Resurrectional Apolytikion. The Eisodikon (Entrance Hymn) is “O come, let us worship… save us, O Son of God, Who art risen from the dead…” After the Little Entrance, chant the apolytikia in the following order:
RESURRECTIONAL APOLYTIKION IN TONE ONE
While the stone was sealed by the Jews, and the soldiers were guarding Thy
most pure body, Thou didst arise on the third day, O Savior, granting life to the
world. For which cause the heavenly powers cried aloud unto Thee, O giver of
life. Glory to Thy Resurrection O Christ, glory to Thy kingdom, glory to Thy
providence, O Thou Who alone art the lover of mankind.
TROPARION OF ST. GEORGE IN TONE FOUR
As deliverer of captives and defender of the poor, healer of the infirm and
champion of kings, victorious Great-martyr George, intercede with Christ our
God that our souls may be saved.
KONTAKION FOR THE PRODIGAL SON IN TONE THREE
(**Special Melody: Today the Virgin**)
Foolishly I sprang away * from Thy great fatherly glory, * and dispersed in
wicked deeds * the riches that Thou didst give me. * With the Prodigal I
therefore * cry unto Thee now: * I have sinned against Thee, O compassionate
Father. * But receive me in repentance; * make me as one of * Thy hired
servants, O Lord.
THE EPISTLE
(For Sunday of the Prodigal Son)
Let Thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us. Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous.
The Reading from the First Epistle of St. Paul to the Corinthians. (6:12-20)
Brethren, all things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful. All
things are lawful for me, but I will not be enslaved by anything. Food is meant
for the stomach and the stomach for food; but God will destroy both one and
the other. The body is not meant for immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord
for the body. And God raised the Lord and will also raise us up by His power.
Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I therefore take
the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never! Do you
not know that he who joins himself to a prostitute becomes one body with her?
For, as it is written, “The two shall become one flesh.” But he who is united to
the Lord becomes one spirit with Him. Shun immorality. Every other sin which

Pardon our Mess...but the NEW
LOOK will Impress: We have a
variety of constructions going on to
update and upgrade our parish
facilities; these will continue over the
next several weeks. One project that
will require assistance from our
parishioners is the removal of pews
following Liturgy this upcoming
Sunday so that the carpet can be
replaced. Again, please be careful
around the facilities and pardon our
mess as we continue to improve and
upgrade!

a man commits is outside the body; but the immoral man sins against his
own body. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit
within you, which you have from God? You are not your own; you were
bought with a price. So glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which
are God’s.
THE GOSPEL
(For Sunday of the Prodigal Son)
The Reading from the Holy Gospel according to St. Luke. (15:11-32)
The Lord spoke this parable: “There was a man who had two sons;
and the younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the share of
property that falls to me.’ And he divided his living between them. Not many
days later, the younger son gathered all he had and took his journey into a far
country, and there he squandered his property in loose living. And when he
had spent everything, a great famine arose in that country, and he began to
be in want. So he went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that
country, who sent him into his fields to feed swine. And he would gladly
have fed on the pods that the swine ate; and no one gave him anything. But
when he came to himself he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants
have bread enough and to spare, but I perish here with hunger! I will arise
and go to my father, and I will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against
heaven and before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son; treat me
as one of your hired servants.”’ And he arose and came to his father. But
while he was yet at a distance, his father saw him and had compassion, and
ran and embraced him and kissed him. And the son said to him, ‘Father, I
have sinned against heaven and before you; I am no longer worthy to be
called your son.’ But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring quickly the best
robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet; and
bring the fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and make merry; for this my son
was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.’ And they began to
make merry. Now his elder son was in the field; and as he came and drew
near to the house, he heard music and dancing. And he called one of the
servants and asked what this meant. And he said to him, ‘Your brother has
come, and your father has killed the fatted calf, because he has received him
safe and sound.’ But he was angry and refused to go in. His father came out
and entreated him, but he answered his father, ‘Lo, these many years I have
served you, and I never disobeyed your command; yet you never gave me a
kid that I might make merry with my friends. But when this son of yours
came, who has devoured your living with harlots, you killed for him the
fatted calf!’ And he said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is
mine is yours. It was fitting to make merry and be glad, for this your brother
was dead, and is alive; he was lost, and is found.’”

Psalter Reading Group – Lent 2017
Participate in this daily Scriptural reading program during Great Lent. Each day (February 27-April 7) you will be assigned a small reading (only about 10-15 minutes) from the Book of Psalms. Throughout the Lenten season you will end up reading the entire Book of Psalms twice. As a group, the entire Book of Psalms is read each day (because participants are assigned different sections).
To sign up and participate, please email Fr. Paul. We need at least 20 participants for this program. May God bless you in your spir-itual endeavor this upcoming Lenten season!
