Scripture Readings

2 Corinthians 5.15-21 (Epistle)

15Hristos za sve umrije, da oni koji žive ne žive više sebi, nego onome koji za njih umrije i vaskrse. 16Zato i mi otsad nikoga ne poznajemo po tijelu; i ako Hrista poznasmo po tijelu, ali ga sad više ne poznajemo. 17Zato ako je ko u Hristu, nova je tvar: staro proðe, gle, sve novo postade. 18Ali je sve od Boga, koji pomiri nas sa sobom kroz Isusa Hrista, i dade nam službu pomirenja. 19Jer Bog bješe u Hristu, i svijet pomiri sa sobom ne primivši im grijeha njihovijeh, i metnuvši u nas rijeè pomirenja. 20Tako smo mi poslani mjesto Hrista, kao da Bog govori kroz nas; molimo vas u ime Hristovo, pomirite se s Bogom. 21Jer onoga koji ne znadijaše grijeha nas radi uèini grijehom, da mi budemo pravda Božija u njemu.

Mark 1.16-22 (Gospel)

16I hodeæi pokraj mora vidje Simona, i Andriju brata njegova gdje bacaju mreže u more; jer bijahu ribari. 17I reèe im Isus: hajdete za mnom, i uèiniæu vas lovcima ljudskijem. 18I odmah ostavivši mreže svoje poðoše za njim. 19I otišavši malo odande ugleda Jakova Zevedejeva, i Jovana brata njegova, i oni u laði krpljahu mreže; 20I odmah pozva ih; i ostavivši oca svojega Zevedeja u laði s najamnicima poðoše za njim. 21I doðoše u Kapernaum; i odmah u subotu ušavši u zbornicu uèaše. 22I divljahu se nauci njegovoj; jer ih uèaše kao onaj koji vlast ima a ne kao književnici.

Commemorations

Martyr Agathonicus of Nicomedia and his companions (4th c.)

He lived in Nicomedia, where he turned many pagans from their idolatry to faith in Christ. For this he and several companions were seized, beaten, bound, and taken to Byzantium. On the way, several of Agathonicus’ companions died from their harsh treatment. The survivors, including Agathonicus himself, were taken to Selyvria in Thrace, where they were tortured before the Emperor himself, then beheaded.

Holy Martyr Eulalia of Barcelona (303)

She was born of Christian parents in Barcelona, and dedicated herself to a life of holiness, taking Christ as her bridegroom. When the persecutor Dacian came to Barcelona, Eulalia secretly left her parents’ house by night and came before Dacian, denouncing him in front of many witnesses as a murderer of the innocent, and publicly confessing her faith in Christ. The wicked Dacian had her stripped and beaten, then tied to a tree in the form of a cross, and ordered that her flesh be burned with torches. When her torturer mockingly asked ‘Where is your Christ to save you?’ she answered ‘He is here with me; you cannot see Him because of your impurity.’ When the holy Eulalia died at last under torture, the people saw a white dove fly from her mouth. An unseasonable snowstorm then covered her naked body like a white garment.
