A FEW WORDS FROM FATHER

This Sunday is called 'Zacchaeus Sunday' It marks the approach of Great Lent.  Come then, let us run ahead  like Zacchaeus (i.e., come early to Liturgy) to see the Lord before Lent begins.

The Lord wants us to comfort those who are brokenhearted, and to visit those who are sick, and those in prison.  He also wants us to look after the well-being of each other in many ways, because, as He said, "...as you did it to them, you did it to me".  Did you know that doing this is what is called 'Ministry'?  The Church has many forms of Ministry, not just Liturgical ministry.  Perhaps you are already doing this in some way.  Would you like to join others of like mind in a Visitation Ministry? 

Lastly, this is your Bulletin. We want to make it as effective as possible. Please, give us your feedback and suggestions. You may email Erik Lybeck at: eclybeck@gmail.com, or Fr. at: Parthenios.turner@gmail.com


STEWARDSHIP

Thank you to our Church Members who have made a financial commitment to Stewardship, or are increasing their offering towards fulll Stewardship.  (*Stewardship is offering a tithe, or a tenth of our income to the Church.)

"Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house.  Test me in this," says the Lord Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have enough room for it."  Malachi 3:10


Policy regarding Confession and visitations...

It has been our long-standing policy and practice that during Confession, House-calls, and Visitations, Father requires that a third adult to be present while still maintaining the appropriate privacy during Confession.  It is also our policy that during Confession we are not asked to reveal details of a personal or private nature.   If you would simply like to meet with Father for a visit outside of confession, a preffered place would be a local coffee shop :-)

For more information on the Sacrament of Confession, please see:  https://www.goarch.org/-/preparation-for-holy-confession

Gospel and Epistle Readings

Epistle Reading

Removal of the Relics of John Chrysostom, Archbishop of Constantinople
The Reading is from St. Paul's Letter to the Hebrews 7:26-28; 8:1-2

Brethren, it was fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, blameless, unstained, separated from sinners, exalted above the heavens. He has no need, like those high priests, to offer sacrifices daily, first for his own sins and then for those of the people; he did this once for all when he offered up himself. Indeed, the law appoints men in their weakness as high priests, but the word of the oath, which came later than the law, appoints a Son who has been made perfect for ever. Now the point in what we are saying is this: we have such a high priest, one who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, a minister in the sanctuary and the true tent which is set up not by man but by the Lord.

Gospel Reading

15th Sunday of Luke
The Reading is from Luke 19:1-10

At that time, Jesus was passing through Jericho. And there was a man named Zacchaios; he was a chief collector, and rich. And he sought to see who Jesus was, but could not, on account of the crowd, because he was small of stature. So he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was to pass that way. And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, "Zacchaios, make haste and come down; for I must stay at your house today." So he made haste and came down, and received him joyfully. And when they saw it they all murmured, "He has gone in to be the guest of a man who is a sinner." And Zacchaios stood and said to the Lord, "Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have defrauded any one of anything, I restore it fourfold." And Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, since he also is a son of Abraham. For the Son of man came to seek and to save the lost."

Hymns of the Day

Resurrectional Apolytikion in the Second Tone

When Thou didst descend unto death, O Life Immortal, then didst Thou slay Hades with the lightning of Thy Divinity. And when Thou didst also raise the dead out of the nethermost depths, all the powers in the Heavens cried out: O Life-giver, Christ our God, glory be to Thee.

Apolytikion for Relics of John Chrysostom in the Eighth Tone

Grace shining forth from thy mouth like a beacon hath illumined the universe, and disclosed to the world treasures of uncovetousness, and shown us the heights of humility; but while instructing us by thy words, O Father John Chrysostom, intercede with the Word, Christ our God, to save our souls.

Apolytikion for St. John Chrysostom, Archbishop of Constantinople in the Eighth Tone

Grace like a flame shining forth from thy mouth has illumined the universe, and disclosed to the world treasures of poverty and shown us the height of humility. And as by thine own words thou teachest us, Father John Chrysostom, so intercede with the Word, Christ our God, to save our souls.

Seasonal Kontakion in the First Tone

You who have sanctified by Your Birth a virgin womb and fittingly blessed the hands of Simeon, * You have come O Christ our God, and on this day have saved us. * Give peace to nations at war * and strengthen the Orthodox people whom you have loved, * for You alone love mankind.

    Removal of the Relics of John Chrysostom, Archbishop of Constantinople

    This event took place on this day in the year 438, when Saint Theodosius the Younger had been Emperor for thirty years; he was the son of Arcadius, and Eudoxia, who had exiled Saint John. The Archbishop of Constantinople at that time was Proclus, who had been the Saint's disciple (see Nov. 13 and Nov. 20).
