Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom

Apolytikion for St. Raphael in the Fourth Tone

Because of the finding of your holy relics, wise

one, * the Island of Lesvos has been filled fully

with the grace, * which God richly gave to you. *

You, O devout martyr Raphael, paradoxically *

appeared to many people, and you grant cures

and healings. * And therefore we the faithful re-

joice in all your miracles.

Apolytikion for St. Raphael in the First Tone

To the offspring of Ithaca, the pride and joy of

Lesvos, * monastic martyrs’ glory, let us offer to

Raphael our songs of praise; * for lately he

appeared, and pours out cures and healings to us

all. * Inexplicably he appears to believers, both in

dreams and awake, who cry: * Glory to Christ

who gave you His might. * Glory to Him who gave

you miracles. * Glory to Him who through you

fulfills our prayerful requests.

Apolytikion in honor of Sts. Raphael, Nicholas &

Irene

Having contended on Lesvos for the sake of

Christ God, you have sanctified the island since

the discovery of your sacred relics, O blessed

ones; wherefore we honor you, O Godbearing

Raphael, together with Nicholas and virgin Irene,

as our divine protectors and intercessors with the

Lord.

Singers and Chanters: Richard Bethune, Tabitha Bethune,

Anthony Birozes, David Boyd and Lynne Lucher

Resurrectional Apolytikion in the Plagal of the

Fourth Tone

You descended from on high, O compassionate One,

and condescended to be buried for three days, so that

from the passions You might set us free. Our life and

resurrection, O Lord, glory be to You.

Apolytikion for the Fathers in the Plagal of the

Fourth Tone

Supremely blessed are You, O Christ our God. You

established the holy Fathers upon the earth as

beacons, and through them You have guided us all to

the true Faith, O greatly merciful One, glory be to

You.

Seasonal Kontakion in the Second Tone

A protection of Christians unshameable, intercessor

to our Holy Maker unwavering, reject not the

prayerful cries of those who are in sin. Instead come

to us for you are good; your loving help bring unto

us, who are crying in faith to you. Hasten to

intercede and speed now to supplicate, as a

protection for all time, Theotokos, for those who

honor you.

Sunday of the 7th Ecumenical Council

On this day we also commemorate:

Carpus, Papylus, Agathodorus, & Agathonica, the Martyrs

of Pergamus; Benjamin the Deacon;

and Chryssi the New Martyr of Greece

EPISTLE READING

Prokeimenon. Mode 4.

Daniel 3.26,27 Blessed are you, O Lord, the God of our fathers.

Verse: For you are just in all you have done.

The reading is from St. Paul's Letter to Titus 3:8-15

Titus, my son, the saying is sure. I desire you to insist on these things, so that those who have

believed in God may be careful to apply themselves to good deeds; these are excellent and

profitable to men. But avoid stupid controversies, genealogies, dissensions, and quarrels over

the law, for they are unprofitable and futile. As for a man who is factious, after admonishing

him once or twice, have nothing more to do with him, knowing that such a person is perverted

and sinful; he is self-condemned. When I send Artemas or Tychicos to you, do your best to

come to me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to spend the winter there. Do your best to speed

Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their way; see that they lack nothing. And let our people learn

to apply themselves to good deeds, so as to help cases of urgent need, and not to be unfruitful.

All who are with me send greeting to you. Greet those who love us in the faith. Grace be with

you all. Amen.

Δανιήλ 3.26-27

Εὐλογητὸς εἶ, Κύριε, ὁ Θεὸς τῶν Πατέρων ἡμῶν.

Στίχ. Ὅτι δίκαιος εἶ ἐπὶ πᾶσιν, οἷς ἐποίησας ἡμῖν.

Πρὸς Τίτον 3:8-15 τὸ ἀνάγνωσμα

Πιστὸς ὁ λόγος, καὶ περὶ τούτων βούλομαί σε διαβεβαιοῦσθαι, ἵνα φροντίζωσιν καλῶν ἔργων

προΐστασθαι οἱ πεπιστευκότες θεῷ. ταῦτά ἐστιν καλὰ καὶ ὠφέλιμα τοῖς ἀνθρώποις · μωρὰς δὲ

ζητήσεις καὶ γενεαλογίας καὶ ἔριν καὶ μάχας νομικὰς περιΐστασο, εἰσὶν γὰρ ἀνωφελεῖς καὶ

μάταιοι. αιῥετικὸν ἄνθρωπον μετὰ μίαν καὶ δευτέραν νουθεσίαν παραιτοῦ, εἰδὼς ὅτι

ἐξέστραπται ὁ τοιοῦτος καὶ ἁμαρτάνει, ὢν αὐτοκατάκριτος. Ὅταν πέμψω Ἀρτεμᾶν πρὸς σὲ ἢ

Τυχικόν, σπούδασον ἐλθεῖν πρός με εἰς Νικόπολιν, ἐκεῖ γὰρ κέκρικα παραχειμάσαι. Ζηνᾶν τὸν

νομικὸν καὶ Ἀπολλῶν σπουδαίως πρόπεμψον, ἵνα μηδὲν αὐτοῖς λείπῃ. μανθανέτωσαν δὲ καὶ οἱ

ἡμέτεροι καλῶν ἔργων προΐστασθαι εἰς τὰς ἀναγκαίας χρείας, ἵνα μὴ ὦσιν ἄκαρποι.

THE GOSPEL READING

The Gospel According to Luke 8:5-15

The Lord said this parable: "A sower went out to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some fell along

the path, and was trodden under foot, and the birds of the air devoured it. And some fell on the

rock; and as it grew up, it withered away, because it had no moisture. And some fell among

thorns; and the thorns grew with it and choked it. And some fell into good soil and grew, and

yielded a hundredfold." And when his disciples asked him what this parable meant, he said, "To

you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of God; but for others they are in

parables, so that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand. Now the

parable is this: The seed is the word of God. The ones along the path are those who have heard;

then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, that they may not believe and

be saved. And the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear the word, receive it with joy;

but these have no root, they believe for a while and in time of temptation fall away. And as for

what fell among the thorns, they are those who hear, but as they go on their way they are

choked by the cares and riches and pleasures of life, and their fruit does not mature. And as for

that in the good soil, they are those who, hearing the word, hold it fast in an honest and good

heart, and bring forth fruit with patience." As he said these things, he cried out "He who has

ears to hear, let him hear."

Ἐκ τοῦ Κατὰ Λουκᾶν 8:5-15 Εὐαγγελίου τὸ Ἀνάγνωσμα

Εἶπεν ὁ Κύριος τήν παραβολὴν ταύτην· Ἐξῆλθεν ὁ σπείρων τοῦ σπεῖραι τὸν σπόρον αὐτοῦ. καὶ

ἐν τῷ σπείρειν αὐτὸν ὃ μὲν ἔπεσε παρὰ τὴν ὁδόν, καὶ κατεπατήθη, καὶ τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ

κατέφαγεν αὐτό· καὶ ἕτερον ἔπεσεν ἐπὶ τὴν πέτραν, καὶ φυὲν ἐξηράνθη διὰ τὸ μὴ ἔχειν ἰκμάδα·

καὶ ἕτερον ἔπεσεν ἐν μέσῳ τῶν ἀκανθῶν, καὶ συμφυεῖσαι αἱ ἄκανθαι ἀπέπνιξαν αὐτό. καὶ

ἕτερον ἔπεσεν εἰς τὴν γῆν τὴν ἀγαθήν, καὶ φυὲν ἐποίησε καρπὸν κατονταπλασίονα. ταῦτα

λέγων ἐφώνει· ὁ ἔχων ὦτα ἀκούειν ἀκουέτω. ᾿Επηρώτων δὲ αὐτὸν οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ λέγοντες·

τίς εἴη ἡ παραβολὴ αὕτη; ὁ δὲ εἶπεν· ὑμῖν δέδοται γνῶναι τὰ μυστήρια τῆς βασιλείας τοῦ Θεοῦ,

τοῖς δὲ λοιποῖς ἐν παραβολαῖς, ἵνα βλέποντες μὴ βλέπωσι καὶ ἀκούοντες μὴ συνιῶσιν. ἔστι δὲ

αὕτη ἡ παραβολή· ὁ σπόρος ἐστὶν ὁ λόγος τοῦ Θεοῦ· οἱ δὲ παρὰ τὴν ὁδόν εἰσιν οἱ ἀκούσαντες,

εἶτα ἔρχεται ὁ διάβολος καὶ αἴρει τὸν λόγον ἀπὸ τῆς καρδίας αὐτῶν, ἵνα μὴ πιστεύσαντες

σωθῶσιν. οἱ δὲ ἐπὶ τῆς πέτρας οἳ ὅταν ἀκούσωσι, μετὰ χαρᾶς δέχονται τὸν λόγον, καὶ οὗτοι

ῥίζαν οὐκ ἔχουσιν, οἳ πρὸς καιρὸν πιστεύουσι καὶ ἐν καιρῷ πειρασμοῦ ἀφίστανται. τὸ δὲ εἰς τὰς

ἀκάνθας πεσόν, οὗτοί εἰσιν οἱ ἀκούσαντες, καὶ ὑπὸ μεριμνῶν καὶ πλούτου καὶ ἡδονῶν τοῦ βίου

πορευόμενοι συμπνίγονται καὶ οὐ τελεσφοροῦσι. τὸ δὲ ἐν τῇ καλῇ γῇ, οὗτοί εἰσιν οἵτινες ἐν

καρδίᾳ καλῇ καὶ ἀγαθῇ ἀκούσαντες τὸν λόγον κατέχουσι καὶ καρποφοροῦσιν ἐν ὑπομονῇ.

ταῦτα λέγων ἐφώνει· ὁ ἔχων ὦτα ἀκούειν ἀκουέτω.

PRAYERS BEFORE HOLY COMMUNION

I believe and confess, Lord, that You are truly the Christ,

the Son of the living God, Who came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the first. I

also believe that this is truly Your pure Body and that this is truly Your precious Blood.

Therefore, I pray to You, have mercy upon me, and forgive my transgressions, voluntary and

involuntary, in word and deed, in knowledge or in ignorance. And make me worthy, without

condemnation, to partake of Your pure Mysteries for the remission of sins and for eternal life.

Amen.

How shall I, who am unworthy, enter into the splendor of Your saints? If I should dare to enter

into the bridal chamber, my vesture will condemn me, since it is not a wedding garment; and

being bound up, I shall be cast out by the angels. Cleanse, O Lord, the filth of my soul, and save

me, as You are the one Who loves mankind. In Your love, Lord, cleanse my soul, and save me.

Master Who loves mankind, Lord Jesus Christ, my God, let not these Holy Gifts be to my

judgment because I am unworthy, but rather for the purification and sanctification of both soul

and body and the pledge of the life and Kingdom to come. It is good for me to cleave unto God

and to place in Him the hope of my salvation.

O Son of God, receive me today as a partaker of Your mystical supper. For I will not speak of

the mystery to Your enemies, nor will I give You a kiss, as did Judas. But like the thief, I

confess to You: Remember me, Lord, in Your Kingdom.

FAMILY PROMISE

A Call to Action for Saints Raphael Nicholas, and Irene Greek Orthodox Church! We have been blessed to become a part of the interfaith community of Forsyth County churches

that serves homeless children and their families through Family Promise. Homeless children

and their families are identified and come into the Family Promise Program. A safe haven and

good food are provided as well as important skill training for the parents. Our church was

selected to be one of the first church on this circuit which began in the fall of 2016 and, as of

November 2018, there are a total of 12 local churches that are hosting families. Our church

participates by hosting families four times during the year for one week at a time. Training

classes for volunteers are provided on a regular basis.

Volunteers Needed for our Upcoming Family Promise Week of November 17 - 24, 2019

day center where the children will depart for school.
