Troparion of the Resurrection (Tone Six)

When Mary stood at Thy grave, looking for Thy sacred body, angelic powers

shone above Thy revered tomb; and the soldiers who were to keep guard became

as dead men. Thou led Hades captive and wast not tempted thereby. Thou didst

meet the Virgin and didst give life to the world, O Thou, Who art risen from the

dead, O Lord, glory to Thee.

thou wast clothed with a good conscience as befitteth one holy. Thou didst draw from the

Chosen Vessel ineffable mysteries; and having kept the Faith, thou didst finish the course, O

Hieromartyr and Apostle Timothy. Intercede with Christ God that our souls may be saved.

ال�سالة لألح� ال*اني وال*الث�ن 'ع� الع�%�ةEpistle for the Thirty-Second Sunday after Pentecost

The Lord will give strength to his people!

Bring to the Lord, O sons of God, bring to the Lord honor and glory!

The Reading is from the First Epistle of Saint Paul to Timothy (4:9-15)

Timothy, my son, the saying is sure and worthy of full accep-

tance. For to this end we toil and strive, because we have our

hope set on the living God, who is the Savior of all men, espe-

cially of those who believe. Command and teach these things.

Let no one despise your youth, but set the believers an example in

speech and conduct, in love, in faith, in purity. Till I come, attend

to the public reading of scripture, to preaching, to teaching. Do

not neglect the gift you have, which was given you by prophetic

utterance when the council of elders laid their hands upon you. Practice these du-

ties, devote yourself to them, so that all may see your progress.

Gospel for the Fifteenth Sunday of Luke (Zacchaeus Sunday)

The Reading is from the Holy Gospel according to Saint Luke (19:1-10)

At that time, Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through. And there was a

man named Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax 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 Jesus,

for he was to pass that way. And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up and

said to him, “Zacchaeus, 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 Zacchaeus 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.”

2017 HOME BLESSINGS

Traditionally, at the feast of the Lord’s Epiphany (Baptism)

on January 6th, the Great Blessing of the waters takes place

and then is used to sanctify the homes of all the faithful. In

bringing the blessed water to the homes, and sprinkling it in

each room, we rid our house of any evil influence, and re-

dedicate it to God in a special way.

As we were once renewed by the waters of our own bap-

tism into Christ, so too our home, and our entire lives, are re-dedicated

and renewed unto Christ our God each year at this time.

- Please contact the Cathedral Office at 305-444-6541 to

schedule the Home Blessing by Father Saba.

- The following should be prepared for the

Home Blessing:

• All members of family must be present.

• Bible

• Icon

• Lit Candle

• Burning Incense (Optional)

• Small Table (or dining room table)

- The visit by Father Saba should be

approximately 45 minutes.

Several visits will be scheduled on a given

day in order to reach and bless all families

and homes this season.

Once the Home Blessing Season is mostly over, Fr. Saba will

continue the regular Pastoral Visits, during which Fr. Saba

will spend ample time with each family.
