ФІНАНСОВИХ ПОСЛУГ

weak they were made powerful, became strong in

battle, and turned back foreign invaders. Women

received back their dead through resurrection.

Others were tortured and would not receive deliv-

erance, in order to obtain a better resurrection.

Still others endured mockery, scourging, even

chains and imprisonment. They were stoned,

sawed in two, put to death at sword's point; they

went about garbed in the skins of sheep or goats,

needy, afflicted, tormented. The world was not

worthy of them. They wandered about in deserts

and on mountains, they dwelt in caves and in

holes of the earth. Yet despite the fact that all of

these were approved because of their faith, they

did not obtain what had been promised. God had

made a better plan, a plan which included us.

Without us, they were not to be made perfect.

Therefore, since we for our part are surrounded by

this cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every en-

cumbrance of sin which clings to us and persevere

in running the race which lies ahead. Let us keep

our eyes fixed on Jesus, who inspires and perfects

our faith.

Alleluia Verses: Moses and Aaron are among His

priests and Samuel among those who call upon

His name.

They called upon the Lord, and he answered them.

Gospel: John 1:43-51

Instead of 'Indeed, it is fitting': In you, Lady full

of grace, all creation rejoices, the world of angels

and the human race. Sanctified temple, spiritual

paradise, boast of virgins, God took flesh from

you and became a child; He was God before the

ages. He made your womb a throne and made it

more encompassing than the heavens. In you,

Lady full of grace, all creation rejoices, glory be

to you.

Communion Hymn: Praise the Lord from the

heavens, praise Him in the highest.

Exult, you just in the Lord; praise from the upright

is fitting. Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

Неділя 14 люте 2016 Перша Неділя Посту, Неділя Православ’я Sunday February 14, 2016 First Sunday of Lent, Sunday of Orthodoxy

Sunday Tropar, tone 5: Let us the faithful ac-

claim and worship the word,* co-eternal with the

Father and the Spirit,* and born of the Virgin for

our salvation. For He willed to be lifted up on the

cross in the flesh,* to suffer death and to raise the

dead* by His glorious resurrection.

Tropar, 1st Sunday of Lent, tone 2:

We pay homage to Your undefiled image, Good

Lord,* and beg pardon for our faults, Christ our

God.* By Your will You chose to mount the cross

in Your flesh* to free Your creatures from slavery

to the enemy.* For this we gratefully cry out to

You:* "By coming to save the world, our Saviour,

You filled all things with joy."

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the

Holy Spirit, now and for ever and ever. Amen!

Kondak of the first Sunday of Lent, tone 8: The

un-circumscribed Word of the Father* became

circumscribed by being enfleshed from you, God-

bearer.* You brought back the stained image to its

original state* by infusing it with divine beauty.*

But recognizing our salvation we portray it by

word and deed.

Prokimen, tone 4: Blessed are you, and praise-

worthy, O Lord, the God of our fathers, and glori-

ous forever is your name.

Verse: For you are just in aII you have done.

Epistle: A reading from the Epistle to the He-

brews (11: 24 -26; 32 -12: 2)

Brothers and Sisters! By faith Moses, when he had

grown up, refused to be known as the son of Phar-

aoh's daughter; he wished to be ill-treated along

with God's people rather than enjoy the fleeting

rewards of sin. Moses considered the reproach

borne by God's Anointed greater riches than the

treasures of Egypt, for he was looking to the re-

ward. What more shall I recount? 1 have no time

to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of

David and Samuel and the prophets, who by faith

conquered kingdoms, did what was just, obtained

the promises; they broke the jaws of lions, put out

raging fires, escaped the devouring sword; though

Тропар воскресний глас 5 Рівнобезначальне з

Отцем і Духом Слово,* що від Діви народилося

на спасіння наше,* прославмо, вірні, і

поклонімся,* бо Воно благозволило тілом зійти

на хрест* і смерть перетерпіти, і воскресити

померлих славним воскресінням Своїм.

Тропар першої неділі посту, глас 2:

Пречистому образові твоєму поклоняємося,

благий,* просячи прощення прогрішень наших,

Христе Боже,* бо волею благоволив єси плоттю

зійти на хрест,* щоб ізбавити тих, що їх створив

єси, від неволі ворожої.* Тому благодарственно

кличемо Тобі:* Ти радістю сповнив усе, Спасе

наш, прийшовши спасти світ.

Слава Отцю, і Сину, і Святому Духові, і нині, і

повсякчас, і на віки вічні. Амінь.

Кондак першої неділі посту, глас 8: Неописане

Слово Отче* із тебе, Богородице, воплоченням

описалося* і, осквернений образ* у давнє

зобразивши,* з божественною добротою

з'єдинило,* та ісповідуючи спасення,* ділом і

словом ми це являємо.

Прокімен, глас 4: Благословенний Ти, Господи,

Боже батьків наших, і хвали достойний; ім'я Твоє

преславне на всі віки.

Стих: Бо ти праведний у всьому, що вчинив єси

нам.

Апостол: До Євреїв послання святого апостола

Павла читання (11: 24 - 26; 32 -12:2)

Браття і Сестри! Вірою Мойсей, коли був виріс,

відрікся зватися сином дочки фараона; волів

радше страждати разом з людом Божим, ніж

зазнавати дочасної гріховної втіхи, бо, дивлячись

на нагороду, вважав за більше багатство наругу

вибраного народу від скарбів Єгипту. І що ще

скажу? Часу не вистане мені, коли почну

розповідати про Гедеона, про Варака, про

Самсона, про Єфту, про Давида й Самуїла та

пророків, що вірою підбили царства, чинили

справедливість, обітниць осягнули, загородили

пащі левам, силу вогню гасили, вістря меча

уникали, ставали сильні, бувши недолугі, на

війні проявили мужність, наскоки чужинців

відбивали. Жінки діставали своїх померлих,

які воскресали. Інші загинули в муках,

відкинувши визволення, щоб осягнути ліпше

воскресіння. Інші наруг і бичів зазнали та ще

й кайданів і в'язниці; їх каменовано,

розрізувано пилою, брано на допити; вони

вмирали, мечем забиті; тинялися в овечих та

козячих шкурах, збідовані, гноблені,

кривджені; вони, яких світ був невартий,

блукали пустинями, горами, печерами та

земними вертепами. І всі вони, дарма, що

мали добре засвідчення вірою, не одержали

обіцяного, бо Бог зберіг нам щось краще, щоб

вони не без нас осягли досконалість. Тому і

ми, маючи навколо себе таку велику хмару

свідків, відкиньмо всякий тягар і гріх, що так

легко обмотує, і біжімо витривало до

змагання, що призначене нам, вдивляючися

пильно в Ісуса, засновника й завершителя

віри.

Стихи на Алилуя: Мойсей і Арон між Його

священиками, і Самуїл між тими, що Його імя

прикликають.

Вони Господа прикликали, і Він відповів їм.

Євангелія: Від Йоана 1: 43 - 51

Замість 'Достойно...': Тобою радується,

Благодатная, всяка твар, ангельський собор і

чоловічеський рід, освящений храме і раю

словесний, дівственна похвало, що із неї Бог

воплотився і младенцим став, перед віками

сущий Бог наш. Лоно бо твоє престолом

сотворив і утробу твою просторішою небес

учинив. Тобою радується, Благодатная, всяка

твар, слава тобі.

Причасний: Хваліте Господа з небес, хваліте

Його на висотах.

Радуйтеся, праведні, в Господі, правим

належить похвала. Алилуя! Алилуя! Алилуя!

Please pray for the following sick & shut-in Parishioners from BVM: "Oh God, Our Father we pray You restore to physical health those of our parishioners who

are weakened with illness, give peace of mind to those troubled with worry and comfort to

those discouraged with problems. Help them find in the days of their strength, a faith and

trust in You and a love for one another to guide them through any health challenges or

troubles they may face". Amen.
