Forgiveness (Cheesefare) Sunday

Of the Church

As a pillar unshaken of Christ’s holy Church, and lamp ever-burning to all the

world you emerged, O wise Haralambos; in all the world you shined, with the

martyrdom you suffered, you dispelled the dark night, of the idols, O blessed;

whence, with courage do intercede, to Christ that we may be saved.

Κοντάκιον. Ἦχος πλ. βʹ.

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.

Kontakion. Mode pl. 2.

O guide to wisdom, provider of prudence, disciplinarian of fools, and defender

of the poor, fortify and discipline my heart, O Master; You, give me a word, O

Word of the Father. For behold, I will not hinder my lips from crying to You: O

merciful Lord, have mercy on me who have fallen.

Ἦχος γ’.

Εὐφραινέσθω τὰ οὐράνια, ἀγαλλιάσθω τὰ ἐπίγεια, ὅτι ἐποίησε κράτος, ἐν

βραχίονι αὐτοῦ, ὁ Κύριος· ἐπάτησε τῷ θανάτῳ τὸν θάνατον· πρωτότοκος

τῶν νεκρῶν ἐγένετο· ἐκ κοιλίας ᾅδου ἐρρύσατο ἡμᾶς, καὶ παρέσχε τῷ

κόσμῳ τὸ μέγα ἔλεος.

Mode 3

Let the heavens sing for joy, and let everything on earth be glad. * For with His

Arm the Lord has worked power. * He trampled death under foot by means of

death; * and He became the firstborn from the dead. * From the maw of Hades

He delivered us; * and He granted the world His great mercy.

Τοῦ Ναοῦ

Ως στῦλος ἀκλόνητος, τῆς Ἐκκλησίας Χριστοῦ, καὶ λύχνος ἀείφωτος, τῆς

οἰκουμένης σοφέ, ἐδείχθης Χαράλαμπες· ἔλαμψας ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ, διὰ τοῦ

μαρτυρίου. ἔλυσας καὶ εἰδώλων τὴν σκοτόμαιναν μάκαρ· διὸ ἐν παρρησία

Χριστῷ. Πρέσβευε σωθῆναι ἡμᾶς.

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

February 26, 2017 Forgiveness (Cheesefare) Sunday

The Gospel according to St. Matthew Chapter 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."

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.

Ἀ, 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.

Εἶπεν ὁ Κύριος· ᾿Εὰν γὰρ ἀφῆτε τοῖς ἀνθρώπ

οις 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.
