Transcript sunday bulletin - Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Cathedral

Sunday, January 29th , 2017 - Sunday of the Canaanite
Welcome Fr. Janko Trbovich, we are grateful to
God to have you with us for Divine Worship this
morning in our beloved Cathedral home!
This Morning’s Readings
St. Paul's Second letter to the Corinthians 6:16-7:1
BRETHREN, you are the temple of the living God; as God said, "I will live in them
and move among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Therefore come out from them, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and
touch nothing unclean; then I will welcome you, and I will be a father to you,
and you shall be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty."
Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every
defilement of body and spirit, and make holiness perfect in the fear of God.
The Gospel according to Matthew 15:21-28
At that time, Jesus went to the district of Tyre and Sidon. And behold, a
Canaanite woman from that region came out and cried, "Have mercy on me, O
Lord, Son of David; my daughter is severely possessed by a demon." But he did
not answer her a word. And his disciples came and begged him, saying, "Send
her away, for she is crying after us." He answered, "I was sent only to the lost
sheep of the house of Israel." But she came and knelt before him, saying, "Lord,
help me." And he answered, "It is not fair to take the children's bread and throw
it to the dogs." She said, "Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall
from their master's table." Then Jesus answered her, "O woman, great is your
faith! Be it done for you as you desire." And her daughter was healed instantly.
This Morning’s Hymns
By means of Your Cross, O Lord, You
abolished death. To the robber You
opened Paradise. The lamentation of
the myrrhbearing women You
transformed, and You gave Your
Apostles the order to proclaim to all that
You had risen, O Christ our God, and
granted the world Your great mercy.
Κατέλυσας τῷ Σταυρῷ σου τὸν
θάνατον, ἠνέῳξας τῷ Λῃστῇ τὸν
Παράδεισον, τῶν Μυροφόρων τὸν
θρῆνον µετέβαλες, καὶ τοῖς σοῖς
Ἀποστόλοις κηρύττειν ἐπέταξας· ὅτι
ἀνέστης Χριστὲ ὁ Θεός, παρέχων τῷ
κόσµῳ τὸ µέγα ἔλεος.
Most blessed are You, O Christ our God,
who by sending down the Holy Spirit
upon them, made the fishermen wise
and through them, illumined the world;
and to You the Universe was ever drawn,
O Lord, glory to you.
Eὐλογητός εἶ Χριστὲ ὁ Θεός ἡμῶν ὁ
πανσόφους τοὺς ἁλιεῖς ἀναδείξας
καταπέμψας αὐτοῖς τὸ Πνεῦμα τὸ
Ἅγιον καὶ δι᾽ αὐτῶν τήν οἰκουμένην
σαγηνεύσας φιλάνθρωπε, δόξα Σοι.
Your birth sanctified a Virgin's womb
and properly blessed the hands of
Symeon. Having now come and saved
us O Christ our God, give peace to
Your commonwealth in troubled times
and strengthen those in authority,
whom You love, as only the loving
One.
Ὁ μήτραν παρθενικὴν ἁγιάσας τῶ
τόκω σου, καὶ χείρας τοῦ Συμεὼν
εὐλογήσας ὡς ἔπρεπε, προφθάσας
καὶ νὺν ἔσωσας ἡμᾶς Χριστὲ ὁ Θεός.
Ἀλλ' εἰρήνευσον ἐν πολέμοις τὸ
πολίτευμα, καὶ κραταίωσον Βασιλεῖς
οὓς ἠγάπησας, ὁ μόνος φιλάνθρωπος.
Holy Communion in the Orthodox Church is reserved for those Orthodox Christians who
have prepared themselves to receive the Holy Gifts by having arrived at a respectful
time in the service, and having recently confessed and kept the appointed fasts. If you
are not prepared to receive the Holy Gifts we invite you to instead receive the blessed
bread from Fr. Apostolos at the conclusion of the liturgy.
