Troparion of the Resurrection (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 Saviour, 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.

قمت في اليوم الثالث أيها , وجسدك الطاهر حفظ من الجند , إن الحجر لما ختم من اليهودالمجد . ألجل ذلك قوات السماوات هتفوا إليك يا واهب الحياة. المخلص، مانحا العالم الحياة

الرسالة ألحد الفريسي والعشار

Epistle for Sunday of the Pharisee and Publican

Make vows to the Lord thy God, and perform them.

In Judah God is known; His Name is great in Israel.

The Reading is from the Second Epistle of Saint Paul to Timothy (3:10-15) Timothy my son, you have observed my teaching, my conduct,

my aim in life, my faith, my patience, my love, my steadfastness,

my persecutions, and my sufferings, and what befell me at An-

tioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra. What persecutions I endured; yet

from them all, the Lord rescued me. Indeed all who desire to live

a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, while evil men and

impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceivers and deceived.

But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have

firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it and how from childhood you

have been acquainted with the sacred writings which are able to instruct you for

salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.

.واسمه عظيم في إسرائيل ،هللا معروف في أرض يهوذا. صلوا وأوفوا الرب إلهنا نذوركم (15-3:10)تيموثاوس فصل من رسالة القديس بولس الرسول الثانية إلى

يا ولدي تيموثاوس إنك قد استقريت تعليمي وسيرتي وقصدي وإيماني وأناتي ومحبتي وأية اضطهادات . واضطهاداتي وآالمي وما أصابني في أنطاكية وأيقونية ولسترة * وصبري

وجميع الذين يريدون أن يعيشوا بالتقوى في المسيح * احتملت وقد أنقذني الرب من جميعهافاستمر * أما األشرار والمغوون من الناس فيزدادون شرا مضل ين ومضلين * يسوع يضطهدون

وأنك منذ الطفولية *أنت على ما تعلمته وأيقنت به عالما ممن تعلمت سة القادرة أن تصي رك حكيما للخالص باإليمان تعرف الكتب المقد

* بالمسيح يسوع

اإلنجيل ألحد الفريسي والعشارGospel for the Sunday of the Pharisee and Publican

The Reading is from the Holy Gospel according to Saint Luke (18:10-14)

The Lord spoke this parable: “Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a

Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with

himself, ‘God, I thank Thee that I am not like other men, extortionists, unjust,

adulterers, or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all

that I get.’ But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to

heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me a sinner!’ I tell you,

this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who

exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

)11-11:10( التلميذ الطاهر , فصل شريف من بشارة القديس لوقا اإلنجيلي البشير

ار , قال الرب هذا المثل فكان * إنسانان صعدا إلى الهيكل ليصل يا أحدهما فر يسي واآلخر عشالفريسي واقفا يصل ي في نفسه هكذا اللهم إن ي أشكرك ألن ي لست كسائر الناس الخطفة

ار ر كل ما هو * الظالمين الفاسقين وال مثل هذا العش تين وأعش فإني أصوم في األسبوع مرأما العشار فوقف عن بعد ولم يرد أن يرفع عينيه إلى السماء بل كان يقرع صدره قائال * لي

2018 HOME BLESSINGS

Traditionally, at the feast of the Lord’s Epiphany (Baptism)

on January 6th, the Great Blessing of the waters takes place

and then is used to sanctify the homes of all the faithful. In

bringing the blessed water to the homes, and sprinkling it in

each room, we rid our house of any evil influence, and re-

dedicate it to God in a special way.

As we were once renewed by the waters of our own bap-

tism into Christ, so too our home, and our entire lives, are re-dedicated

and renewed unto Christ our God each year at this time.

- Please contact the Cathedral Office at 305-444-6541 to

schedule the Home Blessing by Father Saba.

- The following should be prepared for the

Home Blessing:

All members of family must be present.

Bible

Icon

Lit Candle

Burning Incense (Optional)

Small Table (or dining room table)

- The visit by Father Saba should be

approximately 45 minutes.

Several visits will be scheduled on a given

day in order to reach and bless all families

and homes this season.

Once the Home Blessing Season is mostly over, Fr. Saba will

continue the regular Pastoral Visits, during which Fr. Saba

will spend ample time with each family.
