RESURRECTIONAL APOLYTIKION IN 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.

To thee, the Champion leader, I thy servant offer thanks of victory, O Theotokos, thou hast delivered me from terror, but as thou hast power invincible, O Theotokos, thou alone can set me free: from all forms of danger free me and deliver me, that I may cry unto thee: Rejoice, O Bride without bridegroom!

EPISTLEO Lord, save Thy people, and bless Thine inheritance, Unto Thee, O
Lord, will I cry, O my God!The Reading from Saint Paul's letter to Hebrews 4:14-5:6
Brethren, since we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast the confession. For we do not have a High Priest who is unable to sympathize with our infirmities, but One who has been in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace to help in time of need. For every high priest, being taken from among the people is appointed on behalf of the people in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins; who can have compassion on the ignorant and those who are erring, since he himself also is encompassed with infirmity. Because of this he is bound, as for the people so also for himself, to offer up for sins. And no one takes the honor upon himself, but as being called by God, as was Aaron. So Christ also did not glorify Himself to become a High Priest, but it was by the One saying to Him, “Thou art My Son, today I have Begotten Thee.” As He says also in another place, “Thou art a Priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek".

THE GOSPELThe Reading from the Holy Gospel according to St. Mark 8:34 /
9:1 The Lord said, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel's will save it. For what does it profit a man, to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul? For what can a man give in return for his soul? For whoever is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of man also be ashamed when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels." And Jesus said to them, "Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God come with power."

Sunday of the Holy Cross With the help of God, we have almost reached the middle of the course of the Fast, where our strength has been worn down through abstinence, and the full difficulty of the labour set before us becomes apparent. Therefore our holy Mother, the Church of Christ, now brings to our help the all-holy Cross, the joy of the world, the strength of the faithful, the staff of the just, and the hope of sinners, so that by venerating it reverently, we might receive strength and grace to complete the divine struggle of the Fast.
Holy BreadThe Holy bread is being offered today by Ghasoub Ayoub for the good health of his family.
The Spirits of the Righteous Made PerfectSophie Cattiny, George Nahass, Anton Homsey, Sr., Shamsa Saikaly, Mary Kassab,George Serventi, Jr., Shahood Tamney, Michael Eshak, John Zeitoun, Alba Zeitoun, Selma Belbol, John Tahmoosh.
