Ἐκείνη πορευθεῖσα ἀπήγγειλε τοῖς μετ’ αὐτοῦ γενομένοις\, πενθοῦσι καὶ κλαίουσι. Κᾀκεῖνοι ἀκούσαντες ὅτι ζῇ καὶ ἐθεάθη ὑπ’ αὐτῆς ἠπίστησαν. Μετὰ δὲ ταῦτα δυσὶν ἐξ αὐτῶν περιπατοῦσιν ἐφανερώθη ἐν ἑτέρᾳ μορφῇ\, πορευομένοις\, εἰς ἀγρόν. Κᾀκεῖνοι ἀπελθόντες ἀπήγγειλαν τοῖς λοιποῖς\, οὐδὲ ἐκείνοις ἐπίστευσαν. Ὕστερον\, ἀνακειμένοις αὐτοῖς τοῖς ἕνδεκα ἐφανερώθη\, καὶ ὠνείδισε τὴν ἀπιστίαν αὐτῶν καὶ σκληροκαρδίαν\, ὅτι τοῖς θεασαμένοις αὐτὸν ἐγηγερμένον\, οὐκ ἐπίστευσαν. Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· Πορευθέντες εἰς τὸν κόσμον ἅπαντα\, κηρύξατε τὸ εὐαγγέλιον πάσῃ τῇ κτίσει. Ὁ πιστεύσας καὶ βαπτισθείς\, σωθήσεται\, ὁ δὲ ἀπιστήσας\, κατακριθήσεται. Σημεῖα δὲ τοῖς πιστεύσασι ταῦτα παρακολουθήσει. Ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί μου δαιμόνια ἐκβαλοῦσι\, γλώσσαις λαλήσουσι καιναῖς\, ὄφεις ἀροῦσι\, κἂν θανάσιμόν τι πίωσιν\, οὐ μὴ αὐτοὺς βλάψει\, ἐπὶ ἀῤῥώστους χεῖρας ἐπιθήσουσι\, καὶ καλῶς ἕξουσιν. Ὁ μὲν οὖν Κύριος\, μετὰ τὸ λαλῆσαι αὐτοῖς\, ἀνελήφθη εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν\, καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἐκ δεξιῶν τοῦ Θεοῦ. Ἐκεῖνοι δὲ ἐξελθόντες\, ἐκήρυξαν πανταχοῦ\, τοῦ Κυρίου συνεργοῦντος\, καὶ τὸν λόγον βεβαιοῦντος\, διὰ τῶν ἐπακολουθούντων σημείων.

Τίς ἀσθενεῖ\, καὶ οὐκ ἀσθενῶ; Τίς σκανδαλίζεται\, καὶ οὐκ ἐγὼ πυροῦμαι; Εἰ καυχᾶσθαι δεῖ\, τὰ τῆς ἀσθενείας μου καυχήσομαι. Ὁ θεὸς καὶ πατὴρ τοῦ κυρίου Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ οἶδεν\, ὁ ὢν εὐλογητὸς εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας\, ὅτι οὐ ψεύδομαι. Ἐν Δαμασκῷ ὁ ἐθνάρχης Ἀρέτα τοῦ βασιλέως ἐφρούρει τὴν Δαμασκηνῶν πόλιν\, πιάσαι με θέλων· καὶ διὰ θυρίδος ἐν σαργάνῃ ἐχαλάσθην διὰ τοῦ τείχους καὶ ἐξέφυγον τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ. Καυχᾶσθαι δὴ οὐ συμφέρει μοι· ἐλεύσομαι γὰρ εἰς ὀπτασίας καὶ ἀποκαλύψεις κυρίου. Οἶδα ἄνθρωπον ἐν Χριστῷ πρὸ ἐτῶν δεκατεσσάρων – εἴτε ἐν σώματι οὐκ οἶδα· εἴτε ἐκτὸς τοῦ σώματος οὐκ οἶδα· ὁ θεὸς οἶδεν – ἁρπαγέντα τὸν τοιοῦτον ἕως τρίτου οὐρανοῦ. Καὶ οἶδα τὸν τοιοῦτον ἄνθρωπον – εἴτε ἐν σώματι\, εἴτε ἐκτὸς τοῦ σώματος\, οὐκ οἶδα· ὁ θεὸς οἶδεν – ὅτι ἡρπάγη εἰς τὸν παράδεισον\, καὶ ἤκουσεν ἄρρητα ῥήματα\, ἃ οὐκ ἐξὸν ἀνθρώπῳ λαλῆσαι. Ὑπὲρ τοῦ τοιούτου καυχήσομαι· ὑπὲρ δὲ ἐμαυτοῦ οὐ καυχήσομαι\, εἰ μὴ ἐν ταῖς ἀσθενείαις μου· ἐὰν γὰρ θελήσω καυχήσασθαι\, οὐκ ἔσομαι ἄφρων· ἀλήθειαν γὰρ ἐρῶ· φείδομαι δέ\, μή τις εἰς ἐμὲ λογίσηται ὑπὲρ ὃ βλέπει με\, ἢ ἀκούει τι ἐξ ἐμοῦ. Καὶ τῇ ὑπερβολῇ τῶν ἀποκαλύψεων ἵνα μὴ ὑπεραίρωμαι\, ἐδόθη μοι σκόλοψ τῇ σαρκί\, ἄγγελος Σατᾶν\, ἵνα με κολαφίζῃ\, ἵνα μὴ ὑπεραίρωμαι. Ὑπὲρ τούτου τρὶς τὸν κύριον παρεκάλεσα ἵνα ἀποστῇ ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ. Καὶ εἴρηκέν μοι\, Ἀρκεῖ σοι ἡ χάρις μου· ἡ γὰρ δύναμίς μου ἐν ἀσθενείᾳ τελειοῦται. Ἥδιστα οὖν μᾶλλον καυχήσομαι ἐν ταῖς ἀσθενείαις μου\, ἵνα ἐπισκηνώσῃ ἐπʼ ἐμὲ ἡ δύναμις τοῦ Χριστοῦ.\nἈνάγνωσις Εὐαγγελίου: Κατὰ Ματθαῖον 16:13-19\nΤῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ\, ἐλθὼν δὲ ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς εἰς τὰ μέρη Καισαρείας τῆς Φιλίππου ἠρώτα τοὺς μαθητὰς αὐτοῦ λέγων· τίνα με λέγουσιν οἱ ἄνθρωποι εἶναι τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου; οἱ δὲ εἶπον· οἱ μὲν ᾿Ιωάννην τὸν βαπτιστήν\, ἄλλοι δὲ ᾿Ηλίαν\, ἕτεροι δὲ ῾Ιερεμίαν ἢ ἕνα τῶν προφητῶν. λέγει αὐτοῖς· ὑμεῖς δὲ τίνα με λέγετε εἶναι; ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ Σίμων Πέτρος εἶπε· σὺ εἶ ὁ Χριστὸς ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ τοῦ ζῶντος. καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῷ· μακάριος εἶ\, Σίμων Βαριωνᾶ\, ὅτι σὰρξ καὶ αἷμα οὐκ ἀπεκάλυψέ σοι\, ἀλλ᾿ ὁ πατήρ μου ὁ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς. κἀγὼ δέ σοι λέγω ὅτι σὺ εἶ Πέτρος\, καὶ ἐπὶ ταύτῃ τῇ πέτρᾳ οἰκοδομήσω μου τὴν ἐκκλησίαν\, καὶ πύλαι ᾅδου οὐ κατισχύσουσιν αὐτῆς. καὶ δώσω σοι τὰς κλεῖς τῆς βασιλείας τῶν οὐρανῶν\, καὶ ὃ ἐὰν δήσῃς ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς\, ἔσται δεδεμένον ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς\, καὶ ὃ ἐὰν λύσῃς ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς\, ἔσται λελυμένον ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς. τότε διεστείλατο τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ ἵνα μηδενὶ εἴπωσιν ὅτι αὐτός ἐστιν ᾿Ιησοῦς ὁ Χριστός.

Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles also? Yes\, of Gentiles also\, since God is one; and he will justify the circumcised on the ground of their faith and the uncircumcised through their faith. Do we then overthrow the law by this faith? By no means! On the contrary\, we uphold the law. What then shall we say about Abraham\, our forefather according to the flesh? For if Abraham was justified by works\, he has something to boast about\, but not before God. For what does the scripture say? “Abraham believed God\, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness.”\nGospel Reading: Matthew 7:24-29; 8:1-4\nThe Lord said\, “Every one who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house upon the rock; and the rain fell\, and the floods came\, and the winds blew and beat upon that house\, but it did not fall\, because it had been founded on the rock. And every one who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house upon the sand; and the rain fell\, and the floods came\, and the winds blew and beat against that house\, and it fell; and great was the fall of it.” And when Jesus finished these sayings\, the crowds were astonished at his teaching\, for he taught them as one who had authority\, and not as their scribes. When he came down from the mountain\, great crowds followed him; and behold\, a leper came to him and knelt before him saying\, “Lord\, if you will\, you can make me clean.” And he stretched out his hand and touched him\, saying\, “I will; be clean.” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. And Jesus said to him\, “See that you say nothing to any one; but go\, show yourself to the priest\, and offer the gift that Moses commanded\, for a proof to them.” URL:https://stbarbarasrq.org/event/finding-of-the-relics-of-cyrus-and-john-the-unmercenaries/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20250628 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20250629 DTSTAMP:20260428T124222 CREATED:20250504T022616Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250819T200953Z UID:27500-1751068800-1751155199@stbarbarasrq.org SUMMARY:🐟 Ἀνακομιδή Λειψάνων Κύρου καὶ Ιωάννου Ἀναργύρων DESCRIPTION:Ἅγιοι\, ἑορταί\, καὶ Ἀναγνώσεις – Σάββατο\, 28 Ιουνίου 2025\nἍγιοι καὶ ἑορταί: Ἀνακομιδή Λειψάνων Κύρου καὶ Ιωάννου Ἀναργύρων; Σέργιος ὁ μάγιστρος; Ἅγιος Μάρτυς Παππίας; Γερμανού και Σεργίου των Ρώσων; Σύναξις τοῦ εἰκόνος τῆς Παναγίας δεσποίνης Θεοτόκου ; Παύλου του ιατρού\nΗμέρα Νηστείας (Κατάλυσις ιχθύος\, ελαίου και οίνου)\nἈνάγνωσις Ἐπιστολῆς: Ρωμ. 3:28-31\, 4:1-3\nἈδελφοί\, λογιζόμεθα οὖν πίστει δικαιοῦσθαι ἄνθρωπον\, χωρὶς ἔργων νόμου.

For not all who are descended from Israel belong to Israel\, and not all are children of Abraham because they are his descendants; but “Through Isaac shall your descendants be named.” This means that it is not the children of the flesh who are the children of God\, but the children of the promise are reckoned as descendants. For this is what the promise said\, “About this time I will return and Sarah shall have a son.” And not only so\, but also when Rebecca had conceived children by one man\, our forefather Isaac\, though they were not yet born and had done nothing either good or bad\, in order that God’s purpose of election might continue\, not because of works but because of his call\, she was told\, “The elder will serve the younger.” As it is written\, “Jacob I loved\, but Esau I hated.” What shall we say then? Is there injustice on God’s part? By no means! For he says to Moses\, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy\, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.” So it depends not upon man’s will or exertion\, but upon God’s mercy. For the scripture says to Pharoah\, “I have raised you up for the very purpose of showing my power in you\, so that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth.” So then he has mercy upon whomever he wills\, and he hardens the heart of whomever he wills. You will say to me then\, “Why does he still find fault? For who can resist his will?”\nGospel Reading: Matthew 10:32-36; 11:1\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 before my Father who is in heaven. Do not think that I have come to bring peace on earth; I have not come to bring peace but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father\, and a daughter against her mother\, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and a man’s foes will be those of his own household.”\nAnd when Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples\, he went on from there to teach and preach in their cities.

For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see\, we wait for it with patience.\nLikewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought\, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with sighs too deep for words. And he who searches the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.\nGospel Reading: Matthew 10:23-31\nThe Lord said to his disciples\, “When they persecute you in one town\, flee to the next; for truly\, I say to you\, you will not have gone through all the towns of Israel before the Son of man comes. A disciple is not above his teacher\, nor a servant above his master; it is enough for the disciple to be like his teacher\, and the servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul\, how much more will they malign those of his household. So have no fear of them; for nothing is covered that will not be revealed\, or hidden that will not be known. What I tell you in the dark\, utter in the light; and what you hear whispered\, proclaim upon the housetops. And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in Gehenna. Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father’s will. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not\, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.” URL:https://stbarbarasrq.org/event/d%c2%9f%c2%90%c2%9f-david-the-righteous-of-thessalonika/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20250626 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20250627 DTSTAMP:20260428T124222 CREATED:20250504T022613Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250819T200953Z UID:27491-1750896000-1750982399@stbarbarasrq.org SUMMARY:🐟 Ὁσίου Δαυΐδ τοῦ ἐν Θεσσαλονίκῃ DESCRIPTION:Ἅγιοι\, ἑορταί\, καὶ Ἀναγνώσεις – Πέμπτη\, 26 Ιουνίου 2025\nἍγιοι καὶ ἑορταί: Ὁσίου Δαυΐδ τοῦ ἐν Θεσσαλονίκῃ; Ἐμφάνιση τοῦ εἰκόνος τῆς Παναγίας δεσποίνης Θεοτόκου τοῦ Τίχβιν\nΗμέρα Νηστείας (Κατάλυσις ιχθύος\, ελαίου και οίνου)\nἈνάγνωσις Ἐπιστολῆς: Ρωμ. 8:22-27\nἈδελφοί\, οἴδαμεν γὰρ ὅτι πᾶσα ἡ κτίσις συστενάζει καὶ συνωδίνει ἄχρι τοῦ νῦν.

For God has done what the law\, weakened by the flesh\, could not do: sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin\, he condemned sin in the flesh\, in order that the just requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us\, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh\, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. To set the mind on the flesh is death\, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law\, indeed it cannot; and those who are in the flesh cannot please God.\nBut you are not in the flesh\, you are in the Spirit\, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Any one who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. But if Christ is in you\, although your bodies are dead because of sin\, your spirits are alive because of righteousness. If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you\, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also through his Spirit which dwells in you.\nSo then\, brethren\, we are debtors\, not to the flesh\, to live according to the flesh-for if you live according to the flesh you will die\, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body you will live.\nGospel Reading: Matthew 10:16-22\nThe Lord said to his disciples\, “Behold\, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. Beware of men; for they will deliver you up to councils\, and flog you in their synagogues\, and you will be dragged before governors and kings for my sake\, to bear testimony before them and the Gentiles. When they deliver you up\, do not be anxious how you are to speak or what you are to say; for what you are to say will be given to you in that hour; for it is not you who speak\, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. Brother will deliver up brother to death\, and the father his child\, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death; and you will be hated by all for my name’s sake.

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.\nAs 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.\nGospel Reading: Luke 1:1-25\, 57-68\, 76\, 80\nInasmuch as many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the things which have been accomplished among us\, just as they were delivered to us by those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word\, it seemed good to me also\, having followed all things closely for some time past\, to write an orderly account for you\, most excellent Theophilos\, that you may know the truth concerning the things of which you have been informed. In the days of Herod\, king of Judea\, there was a priest named Zacharias\, of the division of Abijah; and he had a wife of the daughters of Aaron\, and her name was Elizabeth. And they were both righteous before God\, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. But they had no child\, because Elizabeth was barren\, and both were advanced in years. Now while he was serving as priest before God when his division was on duty\, according to the custom of the priesthood\, it fell to him by lot to enter the temple of the Lord and burn incense. And the whole multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of incense. And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense. And Zacharias was troubled when he saw him\, and fear fell upon him. But the angel said to him\, “Do not be afraid\, Zacharias\, for your prayer is heard\, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son\, and you shall call his name John. And you will have joy and gladness\, and many will rejoice at his birth; for he will be great before the Lord\, and he shall drink no wine nor strong drink\, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit\, even from his mother’s womb. And he will turn many of the sons of Israel to the Lord their God\, and he will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah\, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children\, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just\, to make ready for the Lord a people prepared.” And Zacharias said to the angel\, “How shall I know this? For I am an old man\, and my wife is advanced in years.” And the angel answered him\, “I am Gabriel\, who stands in the presence of God; and I was sent to speak to you\, and to bring you this good news. And behold\, you will be silent and unable to speak until the day that these things come to pass\, because you did not believe my words\, which will be fulfilled in their time.” And the people were waiting for Zacharias\, and they wondered at his delay in the temple. And when he came out\, he could not speak to them\, and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple; and he made signs to them and remained dumb. And when his time of service was ended\, he went to his home.\nAfter these days his wife Elizabeth conceived\, and for five months she hid herself\, saying\, “Thus the Lord has done to me in the days when he looked on me\, to take away my reproach among men.” Now the time came for Elizabeth to be delivered\, and she gave birth to a son. And her neighbors and kinsfolk heard that the Lord had shown great mercy to her\, and they rejoiced with her.

Do you not know that the law is binding on a person only during his life? Thus a married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives; but if her husband dies she is discharged from the law concerning the husband. Accordingly\, she will be called an adulteress if she lives with another man while her husband is alive. But if her husband dies she is free from that law\, and if she marries another man she is not an adulteress.\nLikewise\, my brethren\, you have died to the law through the body of Christ\, so that you may belong to another\, to him who has been raised from the dead in order that we may bear fruit for God. While we were living in the flesh\, our sinful passions\, aroused by the law\, were at work in our members to bear fruit for death. But now we are discharged from the law\, dead to that which held us captive\, so that we serve not under the old written code but in the new life of the Spirit.\nWhat then shall we say? That the law is sin? By no means! Yet\, if it had not been for the law\, I should not have known sin. I should not have known what it is to covet if the law had not said\, “You shall not covet.” But sin\, finding opportunity in the commandment\, wrought in me all kinds of covetousness. Apart from the law sin lies dead. I was once alive apart from the law\, but when the commandment came\, sin revived and I died; the very commandment which promised life proved to be death to me. For sin\, finding opportunity in the commandment\, deceived me and by it killed me. So the law is holy\, and the commandment is holy and just and good.\nDid that which is good\, then\, bring death to me? By no means! It was sin\, working death in me through what is good\, in order that sin might be shown to be sin\, and through the commandment might become sinful beyond measure.\nGospel Reading: Matthew 9:36-38; 10:1-8\nAt that time\, when Jesus saw the crowds\, he had compassion for them\, because they were harassed and helpless\, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples\, “The harvest is plentiful\, but the laborers are few; pray therefore the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.”\nAnd he called to him his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits\, to cast them out\, and to heal every disease and every infirmity. The names of the twelve apostles are these: first\, Simon\, who is called Peter\, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee\, and John his brother; Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaios\, and Lebbaeos called Thaddaios; Simon the Cananaean\, and Judas Iscariot\, who betrayed him. These twelve Jesus sent out\, charging them\, “Go nowhere among the Gentiles\, and enter no town of the Samaritans\, but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And preach as you go\, saying\, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ Heal the sick\, raise the dead\, cleanse lepers\, cast out demons. You received without paying\, give without pay.” URL:https://stbarbarasrq.org/event/d%c2%9f%c2%90%c2%9f-agrippina-the-martyr-of-rome/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20250623 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20250624 DTSTAMP:20260428T124222 CREATED:20250504T022610Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250819T200939Z UID:27484-1750636800-1750723199@stbarbarasrq.org SUMMARY:🐟 Ἀγριππίνη Μάρτυς DESCRIPTION:Ἅγιοι\, ἑορταί\, καὶ Ἀναγνώσεις – Δευτέρα\, 23 Ιουνίου 2025\nἍγιοι καὶ ἑορταί: Ἀγριππίνη Μάρτυς; Ἀριστοκλῆς\, Πρεσβύτερος Μάρτυς; Γεράσιμος Νεομάρτυς; Μᾱρκος\, ἐπίσκοπος Ἐφεσίου; Ἐθελδρέδα ἡ βασίλισσα\nΗμέρα Νηστείας (Κατάλυσις ιχθύος\, ελαίου και οίνου)\nἈνάγνωσις Ἐπιστολῆς: Ρωμ. 7:1-14\nἈδελφοί\, γινώσκουσιν γὰρ νόμον λαλῶ – ὅτι ὁ νόμος κυριεύει τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐφʼ ὅσον χρόνον ζῇ; Ἡ γὰρ ὕπανδρος γυνὴ τῷ ζῶντι ἀνδρὶ δέδεται νόμῳ· ἐὰν δὲ ἀποθάνῃ ὁ ἀνήρ\, κατήργηται ἀπὸ τοῦ νόμου τοῦ ἀνδρός.

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:20260428T124222 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.
