Scripture Readings

Galatians 5.11-21 (Epistle)

11A ja, braæo, ako još obrezanje propovijedam, zašto me gone? Tako se ukide sablazan krstova. 12O da bi otsjeèeni bili oni koji vas kvare! 13Jer ste vi, braæo, na slobodu pozvani: samo da vaša sloboda ne bude na želju tjelesnu, nego iz ljubavi služite jedan drugome. 14Jer se sav zakon izvršuje u jednoj rijeèi, to jest: ljubi bližnjega svojega kao sebe. 15Ali ako se meðu sobom koljete i jedete, gledajte da jedan drugoga ne istrijebite. 16Velim pak: po duhu hodite, i želja tjelesnijeh ne izvršujte. 17Jer tijelo želi protiv duha, a duh protiv tijela; a ovo se protivi jedno drugome, da ne èinite ono šta hoæete. 18Ako li vas duh vodi, nijeste pod zakonom. 19A poznata su djela tjelesna, koja su preljuboèinstvo, kurvarstvo, neèistota, besramnost, 20Idolopoklonstvo, èaranja, neprijateljstva, svaðe, pakosti, srdnje, prkosi, raspre, sablazni, jeresi, 21Zavisti, ubistva, pijanstva, žderanja, i ostala ovakova, za koja vam naprijed kazujem, kao što i kazah naprijed, da oni koji takova èine neæe naslijediti carstva Božijega.

Luke 6.37-45 (Gospel)

37I ne sudite, i neæe vam suditi; i ne osuðujte, i neæete biti osuðeni; opraštajte, i oprostiæe vam se. 38Dajite, i daæe vam se: mjeru dobru i nabijenu i stresenu i preopunu daæe vam u naruèje vaše. Jer kakvom mjerom dajete onakom æe vam se vratiti. 39I kaza im prièu: može li slijepac slijepca voditi? Neæe li obadva pasti u jamu? 40Nema uèenika nad uèitelja svojega, nego i sasvijem kad se izuèi, biæe kao i uèitelj njegov. 41A zašto vidiš trun u oku brata svojega, a brvna u svojemu oku ne osjeæaš? 42Ili kako možeš reæi bratu svojemu: brate! stani da izvadim trun koji je u oku tvojemu, kad sam ne vidiš brvna u svojemu oku? Licemjere! izvadi najprije brvno iz oka svojega, pa æeš onda vidjeti izvaditi trun iz oka brata svojega. 43Jer nema drveta dobra da raða zao rod; niti drveta zla da raða dobar rod. 44Jer se svako drvo po rodu svome poznaje: jer se smokve ne beru s trnja, niti se grožðe bere s kupine. 45Dobar èovjek iz dobre klijeti srca svojega iznosi dobro, a zao èovjek iz zle klijeti srca svojega iznosi zlo, jer usta njegova govore od suviška srca.

Commemorations

Holy Martyr Charitina of Amissos (304)

She was the handmaid (according to the Great Horologion) or adopted daughter (according to the Prologue) of an eminent Roman citizen named Claudius, during the reign of Diocletian. She was betrayed as a Christian to the governor Dometian, before whom she fearlessly confessed her faith. After she had endured many cruel tortures, the governor sent some dissolute youths to rape her. Having prayed to be spared this dishonor, she was permitted to give up her soul to God.

Holy Hierarchs of Moscow Peter (1326), Alexis (1378), Jonas (1461), Macarius (1563), Philip (1569), Hermogenes (1612), Philaret (1867), Innocent (1879), and Tikhon (1925)

This Feast of the Hierarchs of Moscow was established during the reign of Tsar Theodore and Patriarch Job in the year 1596. All of them are commemorated individually as well as on this day. Only Sts Peter, Alexis, Jonas and Philip are specifically mentioned in the Menaion service, but other holy hierarchs of Moscow have been added to the commemoration over the years.

Our Holy Mother Methodia of Kimolos (1865)

She was born in 1865 on the island of Kimolos. Against her own wishes, her parents married her to a sailor, but he drowned soon after their wedding. Though she grieved for him, she also took his loss as a sign that she was to follow the path that she had always most deeply desired — so she entered monastic life, receiving the name Methodia. She then shut herself in a small cell where she gave herself to prayer without reservation, hardly ever leaving. She prayed virtually around the clock, and kept strict fast every day but Saturday and Sunday, on which days she would leave her cell to partake of the Mysteries. She received no visitors at all during Lent; at other times, she would receive only women. She became known throughout her region as a counselor and healer. She reposed in peace at the age of forty-two, in 1908.
