And very early on the first day of the week they went to the tomb when the sun had risen. And they were saying to one another\, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the door of the tomb?” And looking up\, they saw that the stone was rolled back – it was very large. And entering the tomb\, they saw a young man sitting on the right side\, dressed in a white robe; and they were amazed. And he said to them\, “Do not be amazed; you seek Jesus of Nazareth\, who was crucified. He has risen\, He is not here; see the place where they laid Him. But go\, tell His disciples and Peter that He is going before you to Galilee; there you will see Him\, as He told you.” And they went out and fled from the tomb\, for trembling and astonishment had come upon them; and they said nothing to anyone\, for they were afraid.\nEpistle Reading: Romans 2:10-16\nBrethren\, glory and honor and peace for every one who does good\, the Jew first and also the Greek. For God shows no partiality. All who have sinned without the law will also perish without the law\, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law. For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God\, but the doers of the law who will be justified. When Gentiles who have not the law do by nature what the law requires\, they are a law to themselves\, even though they do not have the law. They show that what the law requires is written on their hearts\, while their conscience also bears witness and their conflicting thoughts accuse or perhaps excuse them on that day when\, according to my gospel\, God judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus.\nGospel Reading: Matthew 4:18-23\nAt that time\, as Jesus walked by the Sea of Galilee\, he saw two brothers\, Simon who is called Peter and Andrew his brother\, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. And he said to them\, “Follow me\, and I will make you fishers of men.” Immediately they left their nets and followed him. And going on from there he saw two other brothers\, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother\, in the boat with Zebedee their father\, mending their nets\, and he called them. Immediately they left their boat and their father\, and followed him. And he went about all Galilee\, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every infirmity among the people.

For no human being will be justified in his sight by works of the law\, since through the law comes knowledge of sin. But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from law\, although the law and the prophets bear witness to it\, the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction; since all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God\, they are justified by his grace as a gift\, through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus.\nGospel Reading: Matthew 7:1-8\nThe Lord said\, “Judge not\, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged\, and the measure you give will be the measure you get. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye\, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother\, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye\,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite\, first take the log out of your own eye\, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye. Do not give dogs what is holy; and do not throw your pearls before swine\, lest they trample them under foot and turn to attack you. Ask\, and it will be given you; seek\, and you will find; knock\, and it will be opened to you. For every one who asks receives\, and he who seeks finds\, and to him who knocks it will be opened.

For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners\, so by one man’s obedience many will be made righteous. Law came in\, to increase the trespass; but where sin increased\, grace abounded all the more\, so that\, as sin reigned in death\, grace also might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.\nWhat shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it?\nGospel Reading: Matthew 9:14-17\nAt that time\, the disciples of John came to Jesus\, saying\, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast\, but your disciples do not fast?” And Jesus said to them\, “Can the wedding guests mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? The days will come\, when the bridegroom is taken away from them\, and then they will fast. And no one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment\, for the patch tears away from the garment\, and a worse tear is made. Neither is new wine put into old wineskins; if it is\, the skins burst\, and the wine is spilled\, and the skins are destroyed; but new wine is put into fresh wineskins\, and so both are preserved.” URL:https://stbarbarasrq.org/event/a%c2%98%c2%a6i%c2%b8%c2%8f-methodios-the-martyr-bishop-of-olympus/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20250620 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20250621 DTSTAMP:20260429T035650 CREATED:20250504T022605Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250819T200924Z UID:27475-1750377600-1750463999@stbarbarasrq.org SUMMARY:☦️ Μεθόδιος\, Ἱερομάρτυς DESCRIPTION:Ἅγιοι\, ἑορταί\, καὶ Ἀναγνώσεις – Παρασκευή\, 20 Ιουνίου 2025\nἍγιοι καὶ ἑορταί: Μεθόδιος\, Ἱερομάρτυς; Κάλλιστος Ι.

Beloved\, being very eager to write to you of our common salvation\, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints. For admission has been secretly gained by some who long ago were designated for this condemnation\, ungodly persons who pervert the grace of our God into licentiousness and deny the only Master and our Lord Jesus Christ. Now I desire to remind you\, though you were once for all fully informed\, that the Lord saved a people out of the land of Egypt\, afterward destroyed those who did not believe. And the angels that did not keep their own position but left their proper dwelling have been kept by him in eternal chains in the nether gloom until the judgment of the great day; just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities\, which likewise acted immorally and indulged in unnatural lust\, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire. Yet in like manner these men in their dreamings defile the flesh\, reject authority\, and revile the glorious ones. But when the archangel Michael\, contending with the devil\, disputed about the body of Moses\, he did not presume to pronounce a reviling judgment upon him\, but said\, “The Lord rebuke you.” But these men revile whatever they do not understand\, and by those things that they know by instinct as irrational animals\, they are destroyed. Woe to the ungodly\, for they walk in the way of Cain\, and abandon themselves for the sake of gain to Balaam’s error\, and perish in Korah’s rebellion. These are blemishes on your love feasts\, as they boldly carouse together\, looking after themselves; waterless clouds\, carried along by winds; fruitless trees in late autumn\, twice dead\, uprooted; wild waves of the sea\, casting up the foam of their own shame; wandering stars for whom the nether gloom of darkness has been reserved for ever. It was of these also that Enoch in the seventh generation from Adam prophesied\, saying\, “Behold\, the Lord came with his holy myriads\, to execute judgment on all\, and to convict all the ungodly of all their deeds of ungodliness which they have committed in such an ungodly way\, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.” These are grumblers\, malcontents\, following their own passions\, loud-mouthed boasters\, flattering people to gain advantage. But you must remember\, beloved\, the predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; they said to you\, “in the last time there will be scoffers\, following their own ungodly passions.” It is these who set up divisions\, worldly people\, devoid of the Spirit. But you\, beloved\, build yourselves up on your most holy faith; pray in the Holy Spirit; keep yourselves in the love of God; wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. And convince some\, who doubt; save some\, by snatching them out of the fire; on some have mercy with fear\, hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. Now to him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you without blemish before the presence of his glory with rejoicing\, to the only God\, our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord\, be glory\, majesty\, dominion\, and authority\, before all time and now and for ever. Amen.\nGospel Reading: John 14:21-24\nThe Lord said to his disciples\, “He who has my commandments and keeps them\, he it is who loves me; and he who loves me will be loved by my Father\, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.” Judas (not Iscariot) said to him\, “Lord\, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us\, and not to the world?” Jesus answered him\, “If a man loves me\, he will keep my word\, and my Father will love him\, and we will come to him and make our home with him. He who does not love me does not keep my words; and the word which you hear is not mine but the Father’s who sent me.” URL:https://stbarbarasrq.org/event/d%c2%9f%c2%90%c2%9f-thaddeus-jude-the-apostle-brother-of-our-lord/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20250619 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20250620 DTSTAMP:20260429T035650 CREATED:20250504T022605Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250819T200924Z UID:27474-1750291200-1750377599@stbarbarasrq.org SUMMARY:🐟 Ἰούδας Ἀπόστολος DESCRIPTION:Ἅγιοι\, ἑορταί\, καὶ Ἀναγνώσεις – Πέμπτη\, 19 Ιουνίου 2025\nἍγιοι καὶ ἑορταί: Ἰούδας Ἀπόστολος; Μάρτυς Ζώσιμος; ‘Οσιος Ζήνωνος; Οσίου Παϊσίου του Μεγάλου\nΗμέρα Νηστείας (Κατάλυσις ιχθύος\, ελαίου και οίνου)\nἈνάγνωσις Ἐπιστολῆς: Ἰούδα 1:1-25\n᾿ Ιούδας\, ᾿ Ιησοῦ Χριστοῦ δοῦλος\, ἀδελφὸς δὲ ᾿ Ιακώβου\, τοῖς ἐν Θεῷ πατρὶ ἡγιασμένοις καὶ ᾿ Ιησοῦ Χριστῷ τετηρημένοις κλητοῖς· ἔλεος ὑμῖν καὶ εἰρήνη καὶ ἀγάπη πληθυνθείη. ᾿ Αγαπητοί\, πᾶσαν σπουδὴν ποιούμενος γράφειν ὑμῖν περὶ τῆς κοινῆς σωτηρίας\, ἀνάγκην ἔσχον γράψαι ὑμῖν παρακαλῶν ἐπαγωνίζεσθαι τῇ ἄπαξ παραδοθείσῃ τοῖς ἁγίοις πίστει. παρεισέδυσαν γάρ τινες ἄνθρωποι\, οἱ πάλαι προγεγραμμένοι εἰς τοῦτο τὸ κρῖμα\, ἀσεβεῖς\, τὴν τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν χάριν μετατιθέντες εἰς ἀσέλγειαν καὶ τὸν μόνον δεσπότην καὶ Κύριον ἡμῶν ᾿ Ιησοῦν Χριστὸν ἀρνούμενοι. ῾ Υπομνῆσαι δὲ ὑμᾶς βούλομαι\, εἰδότας ὑμᾶς ἅπαξ τοῦτο\, ὅτι ὁ Κύριος λαὸν ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου σώσας\, τὸ δεύτερον τοὺς μὴ πιστεύσαντας ἀπώλεσεν\, ἀγγέλους τε τοὺς μὴ τηρήσαντας τὴν ἑαυτῶν ἀρχήν\, ἀλλὰ ἀπολιπόντας τὸ ἴδιον οἰκητήριον εἰς κρίσιν μεγάλης ἡμέρας δεσμοῖς ἀῑδίοις ὑπὸ ζόφον τετήρηκεν · ὡς Σόδομα καὶ Γόμορρα καὶ αἱ περί αὐτὰς πόλεις τὸν ὅμοιον τούτοις τρόπον ἐκπορνεύσασαι καὶ ἀπελθοῦσαι ὀπίσω σαρκὸς ἑτέρας πρόκεινται δεῖγμα\, πυρὸς αἰωνίου δίκην ὑπέχουσαι. ὁμοίως μέντοι καὶ οὗτοι ἐνυπνιαζόμενοι σάρκα μὲν μιαίνουσι\, κυριότητα δὲ ἀθετοῦσι\, δόξας δὲ βλασφημοῦσιν. ὁ δὲ Μιχαὴλ ὁ ἀρχάγγελος\, ὅτε τῷ διαβόλῳ διακρινόμενος διελέγετο περὶ τοῦ Μωσέως σώματος\, οὐκ ἐτόλμησε κρίσιν ἐπενεγκεῖν βλασφημίας\, ἀλλ ᾿ εἶπεν · ἐπιτιμήσαι σοι Κύριος. οὗτοι δὲ ὅσα μὲν οὐκ οἴδασι βλασφημοῦσιν\, ὅσα δὲ φυσικῶς ὡς τὰ ἄλογα ζῷα ἐπίστανται\, ἐν τούτοις φθείρονται. οὐαὶ αὐτοῖς\, ὅτι τῇ ὁδῷ τοῦ Κάῑν ἐπορεύθησαν\, καὶ τῇ πλάνῃ τοῦ Βαλαὰμ μισθοῦ ἐξεχύθησαν\, καὶ τῇ ἀντιλογίᾳ τοῦ Κορὲ ἀπώλοντο.

If it is the adherents of the law who are to be the heirs\, faith is null and the promise is void. For the law brings wrath\, but where there is no law there is no transgression. That is why it depends on faith\, in order that the promise may rest on grace and be guaranteed to all his descendants — not only to the adherents of the law but also to those who share the faith of Abraham\, for he is the father of us all\, as it is written\, “I have made you the father of many nations” — in the presence of the God in whom he believed\, who gives life to the dead and calls into existence the things that do not exist. In hope he believed against hope\, that he should become the father of many nations; as he had been told\, “So shall your descendants be.” He did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body\, which was as good as dead because he was about a hundred years old\, or when he considered the barrenness of Sarah’s womb. No distrust made him waver concerning the promise of God\, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God\, fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised. That is why his faith was “reckoned to him as righteousness.” But the words\, “it was reckoned to him\,” were written not for his sake alone\, but for ours also. It will be reckoned to us who believe in him that raised from the dead Jesus our Lord\, who was put to death for our trespasses and raised for our justification.\nGospel Reading: Matthew 7:21-23\nThe Lord said\, “Not every one who says to me\, ‘Lord\, Lord\,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven\, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me\, ‘Lord\, Lord\, did we not prophesy in your name\, and cast out demons in your name\, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them\, ‘I never knew you; depart from me\, you evildoers.'” URL:https://stbarbarasrq.org/event/a%c2%98%c2%a6i%c2%b8%c2%8f-leontius-hypatius-theodulus-the-martyrs-of-syria/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20250618 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20250619 DTSTAMP:20260429T035650 CREATED:20250504T022604Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250819T200910Z UID:27469-1750204800-1750291199@stbarbarasrq.org SUMMARY:☦️ Μάρτυρος Λεόντιος καί οἱ σύν αὐτῶ Ὑπάτιος καί Θεοδούλος DESCRIPTION:Ἅγιοι\, ἑορταί\, καὶ Ἀναγνώσεις – Τετάρτη\, 18 Ιουνίου 2025\nἍγιοι καὶ ἑορταί: Μάρτυρος Λεόντιος καί οἱ σύν αὐτῶ Ὑπάτιος καί Θεοδούλος; Λεόντιος ὁ Μυροβλήτης τοῦ Ἀργείου; Αἰθέριος ὁ Μάρτυρας ὁ ἐν Νικομηδείᾳ\nΑυστηρή Νηστεία\nἈνάγνωσις Ἐπιστολῆς: Ρωμ. 4:13-25\nἈδελφοί\, οὐ διὰ νόμου ἡ ἐπαγγελία τῷ Ἀβραὰμ ἢ τῷ σπέρματι αὐτοῦ\, τὸ κληρονόμον αὐτὸν εἶναι τοῦ κόσμου\, ἀλλὰ διὰ δικαιοσύνης πίστεως.

And to one who does not work but trusts him who justifies the ungodly\, his faith is reckoned as righteousness. So also David pronounces a blessing upon the man to whom God reckons righteousness apart from works: “Blessed are those whose iniquities are forgiven\, and whose sins are covered; blessed is the man against whom the Lord will not reckon his sin.” Is this blessing pronounced only upon the circumcised\, or also upon the uncircumcised? We say that faith was reckoned to Abraham as righteousness. How then was it reckoned to him? Was it before or after he had been circumcised? It was not after\, but before he was circumcised. He received circumcision as a sign or seal of the righteousness which he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. The purpose was to make him the father of all who believe without being circumcised and who thus have righteousness reckoned to them\, and likewise the father of the circumcised who are not merely circumcised but also follow the example of the faith which our father Abraham had before he was circumcised.\nGospel Reading: Matthew 7:15-21\nThe Lord said\, “Beware of false prophets\, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thorns\, or figs from thistles? So\, every sound tree bears good fruit\, but the bad tree bears evil fruit. A sound tree cannot bear evil fruit\, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus you will know them by their fruits. Not every one who says to me\, ‘Lord\, Lord\,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven\, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.” URL:https://stbarbarasrq.org/event/d%c2%9f%c2%90%c2%9f-isaurus-the-holy-martyr-his-companions-of-athens/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20250616 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20250617 DTSTAMP:20260429T035650 CREATED:20250504T022604Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250819T200910Z UID:27466-1750032000-1750118399@stbarbarasrq.org SUMMARY:🐟 Τύχων ὁ Θαυματουργός DESCRIPTION:Ἅγιοι\, ἑορταί\, καὶ Ἀναγνώσεις – Δευτέρα\, 16 Ιουνίου 2025\nἍγιοι καὶ ἑορταί: Τύχων ὁ Θαυματουργός; 40 Μάρτυρες Ρώμης; Ιερομάρτυρος Μάρκου\, επισκόπου Απολλωνιάδος\nΗμέρα Νηστείας (Κατάλυσις ιχθύος\, ελαίου και οίνου)\nἈνάγνωσις Ἐπιστολῆς: Ρωμ. 2:28-29\, 3:1-18\nἈδελφοί\, οὐχ ὁ ἐν τῷ φανερῷ Ἰουδαῖός ἐστιν\, οὐδὲ ἡ ἐν τῷ φανερῷ ἐν σαρκὶ περιτομή· ἀλλʼ ὁ ἐν τῷ κρυπτῷ Ἰουδαῖος\, καὶ περιτομὴ καρδίας ἐν πνεύματι\, οὐ γράμματι· οὗ ὁ ἔπαινος οὐκ ἐξ ἀνθρώπων\, ἀλλʼ ἐκ τοῦ θεοῦ.

He is a Jew who is one inwardly\, and real circumcision is a matter of the heart\, spiritual and not literal. His praise is not from men but from God. Then what advantage has the Jew? Or what is the value of circumcision? Much in every way. To begin with\, the Jews are entrusted with the oracles of God. What if some were unfaithful? Does their faithlessness nullify the faithfulness of God? By no means! Let God be true though every man be false\, as it is written\, “That thou mayest be justified in thy words\, and prevail when thou art judged.” But if our wickedness serves to show the justice of God\, what shall we say? That God is unjust to inflict wrath on us? (I speak in a human way.) By no means! For then how could God judge the world? But if through my falsehood God’s truthfulness abounds to his glory\, why am I still being condemned as a sinner? And why not do evil that good may come? – as some people slanderously charge us with saying. Their condemnation is just. What then? Are we Jews any better off? No\, not at all; for we have already charged that all men\, both Jews and Greeks\, are under the power of sin\, as it is written:\n“None is righteous\, no\, not one; no one understands\, no one seeks for God. All have turned aside\, together they have gone wrong; no one does good\, not even one.”\n“Their throat is an open grave\, they use their tongues to deceive.”\n“The venom of asps is under their lips.”\n“Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness.”\n“Their feet are swift to shed blood\, in their paths are ruin and misery\, and the way of peace they do not know.” \n“There is no fear of God before their eyes.”\nGospel Reading: Matthew 6:31-34; 7:9-11\nThe Lord said\, “Do not be anxious\, saying\, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek all these things; and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness\, and all these things shall be yours as well. Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow\, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Let the day’s own trouble be sufficient for the day. Or what man of you\, if his son asks him for bread\, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish\, will give him a serpent?

And when they saw Him they worshiped Him; but some doubted. And Jesus came and said to them\, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations\, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit\, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo\, I am with you always\, to the close of the age. Amen.”\nEpistle Reading: Hebrews 11:33-40;12:1-2\nBrethren\, all the saints through faith conquered kingdoms\, enforced justice\, received promises\, stopped the mouths of lions\, quenched raging fire\, escaped the edge of the sword\, won strength out of weakness\, became mighty in war\, put foreign armies to flight. Women received their dead by resurrection. Some were tortured\, refusing to accept release\, that they might rise again to a better life. Others suffered mocking and scourging\, and even chains and imprisonment. They were stoned\, they were sawn in two\, they were tempted\, they were killed with the sword; they went about in skins of sheep and goats\, destitute\, afflicted\, ill-treated – of whom the world was not worthy – wandering over deserts and mountains and in dens and caves of the earth. And all these\, though well attested by their faith\, did not receive what was promised\, since God had foreseen something better for us\, that apart from us they should not be made perfect. Therefore\, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses\, let us also lay aside every weight\, and sin which clings so closely\, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us\, looking to Jesus the pioneer and perfecter of our faith.\nGospel Reading: Matthew 10:32-33; 37-38; 19:27-30\nThe Lord said to his disciples\, “Every one who acknowledges me before men\, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven; but whoever denies me before men\, I also will deny him before my Father who is in heaven. He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and he who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me.” Then Peter said in reply\, “Lo\, we have left everything and followed you. What then shall we have?” Jesus said to them\, “Truly\, I say to you\, in the new world\, when the Son of man shall sit on his glorious throne\, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones\, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And every one who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands\, for my name’s sake\, will receive a hundredfold\, and inherit eternal life.

First\, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you\, because your faith is proclaimed in all the world. For God is my witness\, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son\, that without ceasing I mention you always in my prayers\, asking that somehow by God’s will I may now at last succeed in coming to you. For I long to see you\, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you\, that is\, that we may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith\, both yours and mine.\nGospel Reading: Matthew 5:42-48\nThe Lord said\, “Give to him who begs from you\, and do not refuse him who would borrow from you. You have heard that it was said\, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you\, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you\, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good\, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love those who love you\, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you salute only your brethren\, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? You\, therefore\, must be perfect\, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” URL:https://stbarbarasrq.org/event/the-apodosis-of-holy-pentecost/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20250613 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20250614 DTSTAMP:20260429T035650 CREATED:20250504T022602Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250819T200910Z UID:27457-1749772800-1749859199@stbarbarasrq.org SUMMARY:1st Friday after Pentecost DESCRIPTION:Saints\, Feasts\, and Readings for 06/13/2025\nSaints and Feasts: 1st Friday after Pentecost; Aquilina the Martyr of Syria; Triphyllos the Bishop of Nicosia\nFast Free\nEpistle Reading: Romans 2:14-28\nBrethren\, when Gentiles who have not the law do by nature what the law requires\, they are a law to themselves\, even though they do not have the law. They show that what the law requires is written on their hearts\, while their conscience also bears witness and their conflicting thoughts accuse or perhaps excuse them on that day when\, according to my gospel\, God judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus. But if you call yourself a Jew and rely upon the law and boast of your relation to God and know his will and approve what is excellent\, because you are instructed in the law\, and if you are sure that you are a guide to the blind\, a light to those who are in darkness\, a corrector of the foolish\, a teacher of children\, having in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth – you then who teach others\, will you not teach yourself? While you preach against stealing\, do you steal? You who say that one must not commit adultery\, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols\, do you rob temples? You who boast in the law\, do you dishonor God by breaking the law? For\, as it is written\, “The name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.” Circumcision indeed is of value if you obey the law; but if you break the law\, your circumcision becomes uncircumcision. So\, if a man who is uncircumcised keeps the precepts of the law\, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision? Then those who are physically uncircumcised but keep the law will condemn you who have the written code and circumcision but break the law. For he is not a real Jew who is one outwardly\, nor is true circumcision something external and physical.\nGospel Reading: Matthew 5:33-41\nThe Lord said\, “You have heard that it was said to the men of old\, ‘You shall not swear falsely\, but shall perform to the Lord what you have sworn.’ But I say to you\, Do not swear at all\, either by heaven\, for it is the throne of God\, or by the earth\, for it is his footstool\, or by Jerusalem\, for it is the city of the great King. And do not swear by your head\, for you cannot make one hair white or black. Let what you say be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything more than this comes from evil. You have heard that it was said\, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I say to you\, Do not resist one who is evil. But if any one strikes you on the right cheek\, turn to him the other also; and if any one would sue you and take your coat\, let him have your cloak as well; and if any one forces you to go one mile\, go with him two miles.” URL:https://stbarbarasrq.org/event/1st-friday-after-pentecost/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
