Parish News and Events

 

Dear Parishioners,
 
In light of the fact that Holy Trinity is in the "containment zone" of New Rochelle, Deacon Augustine and I will conduct the Divine Liturgy here at Holy Trinity Church this Sunday WITHOUT any parishioners present.  (We will also conduct and televise the Friday evening Salutation Service at 7:00pm, March 20th)  We will broadcast the Liturgy beginning at 10:00am on "Facebook live" for our communicants to follow. If you are on Facebook, please join us in prayer for the duration of the Liturgy.  You may link to the Facebook account thru our website "holytrinitynr.org"   or by typing in "Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church@holytrinityNR" 
 
 Thanking you for your wonderful prayer messages these days as well as your continuing support, I remain;                                                                                               
                                                                                                  Most Faithfully,
                                                                                                    Father Nick

 

 

  

Αγαπητοί Ενορίτες,

Μετά την συνέχιση των κρούσματων του κορωνοϊού, η επιβολή των κυβερνητικών περιορισμών στην περιοχή και στην πόλη μας εξακολουθεί να διατηρεί το Ναό της Αγίας Τριάδος στη "ζώνη καραντίνας" του New Rochelle.
Ο διάκονος Αυγουστίνος και εγώ θα διεξαγάγουμε τη Θεία Λειτουργία αυτή την Κυριακή στην Εκκλησία μας, στο ναό της Αγίας Τριάδος, ΧΩΡΙΣ την παρουσία ενοριτών και εκκλησίασματος.
Κατόπιν εντολής σας υπενθυμίζουμε ότι, δεν μας επιτρέπεται να παρευρεθούμε σε άλλες Λειτουργίες, Ακολουθίες και Συνάξεις άλλων Ενοριών, έτσι ώστε, να αποφύγουμε την πιθανότητα εξάπλωσης του Coronavirus σε περίπτωση που είχαμε έρθει ενδεχομένως σε επαφή με κάποιον φορέα του ιού κατά την διάρκεια των ακολουθιών στην ενορία μας τις τελευταίες εβδομάδες.
Για τους παραπάνω λόγους, η Θεία Λειτουργία θα μεταδοθεί διαδικτυακά την ερχόμενη Κυριακή το πρωί από τις 9:30 π.μ. στο "Facebook live" ώστε να μπορέσουν να παρακολουθήσουν όσοι αγαπητοί ενορίτες μας το επιθυμούν.
Για να μπορέσουμε να διεξαγάγουμε την Θεία Λειτουργία σύμφωνα με τις υποδείξεις και τις συστάσεις της Αρχιεπισκοπής μας ΑΠΟΚΛΕΙΣΤΙΚΑ και ΜΟΝΟΝ ο ιερέας και ο ιεροψάλτης θα παραβρεθούν στην Ακολουθία (ΚΑΝΕΙΣ ΑΛΛΟΣ!).
Αν διαθέτεται Facebook, σας παρακαλούμε να συμπροσευχηθείτε μαζί μας μέσω της ιστοσελίδας μας "holytrinitynr.org" ή πληκτρολογώντας "Αγία Τριάδα Ελληνική Ορθόδοξη Εκκλησία @ holytrinityNR".
Το ίδιο θα ισχύσει και για τις Ακολουθίες των Χαιρετισμών καθώς και για την επόμενη Κυριακή 29 Μαρτίου. Για οποιαδήποτε αλλαγή θα ενημερωθείτε με καινούργιο έντυπο, τηλεφωνικά ή διαδικτυακά. Σας ευχαριστούμε θερμά για τα υπέροχα μηνύματα και τις προσευχές σας σε αυτές τις δύσκολες ημέρες που διανύουμε, καθώς και για τη συνεχή αγάπη και υποστήριξή σας.

Hymns of the Day

Resurrectional Apolytikion in the Grave Mode

Thou didst abolish death by Thy Cross; Thou didst open Paradise to the thief; Thou didst transform the myrrh-bearers' lamentation, and didst bid Thine Apostles to preach that Thou art risen, O Christ God, granting great mercy to the world.

Apolytikion for Sun. of the Holy Cross in the First Mode

Save, O Lord, Thy people and bless Thine inheritance; grant Thou unto the faithful victory over adversaries. And by the power of Thy Cross do Thou preserve Thy commonwealth.

Seasonal Kontakion in the Plagal Fourth Mode

To you, Theotokos, invincible Defender, having been delivered from peril, I, your city, dedicate the victory festival as a thank offering. In your irresistible might, keep me safe from all trials, that I may call out to you: "Hail, unwedded bride!"

    Gospel and Epistle Readings

    Epistle Reading

    Prokeimenon. Plagal Second Mode. Psalm 27.9,1.
    O Lord, save your people and bless your inheritance.
    Verse: To you, O Lord, I have cried, O my God.

    The reading is from St. Paul's Letter to the Hebrews 4:14-16; 5:1-6.

    BRETHREN, since we have a high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we have not a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. For every high priest chosen from among men is appointed to act on behalf of men in relation to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins. He can deal gently with the ignorant and wayward, since he himself is beset with weakness. Because of this he is bound to offer sacrifice for his own sins as well as for those of the people. And one does not take the honor upon himself, but he is called by God, just as Aaron was. So also Christ did not exalt himself to be made a high priest, but was appointed by him who said to him, "Thou art my Son, today I have begotten thee"; as he says also in another place, "Thou art a priest for ever, after the order of Melchizedek."

    Gospel Reading

    Sunday of the Holy Cross
    The Reading is from Mark 8:34-38; 9:1

    The Lord said: "If anyone wishes to come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel's will save it. For what does it profit a man, to gain the whole world and forfeit his life? For what can a man give in return for his life? For whoever is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of man also be ashamed, when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels." And he said to them, "Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God come with power."

    Basil the Holy Martyr of Ancyra

    Saint Basil strove in martyrdom during the short reign of Julian the Apostate, from 361-363. The Saint was denounced as a Christian to Saturninus, Governor of Ancyra, who, when Basil would not deny Christ, had him hanged from a post and scraped on his sides, then beaten, and cast into prison. A few days later, when Julian himself came through Ancyra, the Saint was brought before him and was asked to deny Christ, Whom he rather confessed the more. Julian then had strips cut in his flesh, so that they were left hanging from his body in front and in back. The valiant Martyr tore one of these strips off of his body and cast it into Julian's face. At this Julian commanded that iron spits be heated fiery hot; Saint Basil's belly, his back, and all his joints were pierced with them, and he received the crown of martyrdom.

    Wisdom of the Fathers

    And see how He also makes His discourse unexceptionable: not saying at all, "whether you will, or no, you must suffer this," but how? "If any man will come after me."
    St. John Chrysostom
    Homily 55 on Matthew 16, 1. B#54, p.339., 4th Century

    "I force not, I compel not, but each one I make lord of his own choice; wherefore also I say, 'If any man will.' For to good things do I call you, not to things evil, or burdensome; not to punishment and vengeance, that I should have to compel.
    St. John Chrysostom
    Homily 55 on Matthew 16, 1. B#54, p.339., 4th Century
