The Reading is from St Pauls Letter to the Galatians 111-19 BRETHREN I would have you know that the gospel which was preached by me is not mans gospel For I did not receive it from man nor was I taught it but it came through a revelation of Jesus Christ For you have heard of my former life in Judaism how I persecuted the church of God violently and tried to destroy it and I advanced in Juda-ism beyond many of my own age among my people so extremely zeal-ous was I for the traditions of my fathers But when he who had set me apart before I was born and had called me through his grace was pleased to reveal his Son to me in order that I might preach him among the Gentiles I did not confer with flesh and blood nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me but I went away into Arabia and again I returned to Damascus Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas and remained with him fifteen days But I saw none of the other apostles except James the Lords brother

The Reading is from The Gospel of Luke 826-39 At that time as Jesus arrived at the country of the Gadarenes there met him a man from the city who had demons for a long time he had worn no clothes and he lived not in a house but among the tombs When he saw Jesus he cried out and fell down before him and said with a loud voice What have you to do with me Jesus Son of the Most High God I beseech you do not torment me For he had com-

manded the unclean spirit to come out of the man (For many a time it had seized him he was kept under guard and bound with chains and fetters but he broke the bonds and was driven by the demon into the desert) Jesus then asked him What is your name And he said Legion for many demons had entered him And they begged him not to command them to depart into the abyss Now a large herd of swine was feeding there on the hillside and they begged him to let them en-ter these So he gave them leave Then the demons came out of the man and entered the swine and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned When the herdsmen saw what hap-pened they fled and told it in the city and in the country Then people went out to see what had happened and they came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone sitting at the feet of Jesus clothed and in his right mind and they were afraid And those who had seen it told them how he who had been possessed with de-mons was healed Then all the people of the surrounding country of the Gadarenes asked him to depart from them for they were seized with great fear so he got into the boat and returned The man from whom the demons had gone begged that he might be with him but he sent him away saying Return to your home and declare how much God has done for you And he went away proclaiming throughout the whole city how much Jesus had done for him Please pray for our Brevard County State of Florida amp America Spiritual Leaders Patriarch Bartholomew Archbishop Demetrios Metropolitan Alexios amp Fr Demetri Civil Leaders President Barack Obama US Congress amp Supreme Court Governor Rick Scott all our civil authorities and our armed forces Parish Leadership Parish Council Philoptochos Chanters Choir Sunday amp Greek School teachers amp students Youth amp Dance Group leaders and children Those who are sick awaiting surgery recovering from surgery in need of prayers andor shut in Alexandra Diamond Peter Katsoulas Mae Charos Carlo Sedney Theresa Sempepos Peter amp Dorothy Pappademetriou Nicholas Gus Drivas Bill amp Ellen Werner Olga Despina Kalimnios Ashley Nazieh amp Yvonne Yacoub Savannah amp Zander Kelly Vada Ganakos Mirsini Sirounis Katherine Don Penny Princeton Suzanne Orosz Faye Nicholas Gerry amp Chris Veton Mark Ayad Saad amp family JoAnne Macheras John Cominos Van Katehakis Lisa Waddell Michael Donohue Angela DeCosta Marlaine amp Jim Manus Ann Prieston Anna Kris Stamatis Anasta-sia Kyriaki Renee Olga Taran George amp Sue Kanazeh Joseph Jay amp John Paul Figa-ri Matina Gabriel amp Markos Pongpipat George Mirek Maria Mary Katsenes Lisa Alexandra Joyce Stavrakis Taylor Pappas Connie Ortolani Maria Brewster Maria Iakovos Efstratia Sarah Wells Jan amp Mary James Petersen Denis Frawley David amp
