Scripture Readings

1 Corinthians 11.8-22 (Epistle)

8Jer nije muž od žene nego žena od muža. 9Jer muž nije sazdan žene radi nego žena muža radi. 10Zato žena treba da ima vlast na glavi, anðela radi. 11Ali niti je muž bez žene ni žena bez muža u Gospodu. 12Jer kako je žena od muža, tako je i muž iz žene; a sve je od Boga. 13Sami meðu sobom sudite je li lijepo da se žena gologlava moli Bogu? 14Ili ne uèi li vas i sama priroda da je mužu sramota ako gaji dugaèku kosu; 15A ženi je slava ako gaji dugaèku kosu? Jer joj je kosa dana mjesto pokrivala. 16Ako li je ko svadljiv, mi takovoga obièaja nemamo, niti crkve Božije. 17Ali ovo zapovijedajuæi ne hvalim da se ne na bolje nego na gore sabirate. 18Prvo dakle kad se sabirate u crkvu, èujem da imaju raspre meðu vama; i nešto vjerujem od ovoga. 19Jer treba i jeresi da budu meðu vama, da se pokažu pošteni koji su meðu vama. 20A kad se skupite na jedno mjesto, ne jede se veèera Gospodnja. 21Jer svaki svoju veèeru uzme najprije i jede, i tako jedan gladuje a drugi se opija. 22Eda li dakle nemate kuæa da jedete i pijete? Ili ne marite za crkvu Božiju, i sramotite one koji nemaju? Šta æu vam reæi? Hoæu li vas pohvaliti za to? Neæu.

Matthew 17.10-18 (Gospel)

10I zapitaše ih uèenici njegovi govoreæi: zašto dakle književnici kažu da Ilija najprije treba da doðe? 11A Isus odgovarajuæi reèe im: Ilija æe doæi najprije i urediti sve. 12Ali vam kažem da je Ilija veæ došao, i ne poznaše ga; nego uèiniše s njime šta htješe: tako i sin èovjeèij treba da postrada od njih. 13Tada razumješe uèenici da im govori za Jovana krstitelja. 14I kad doðoše k narodu, pristupi k njemu èovjek klanjajuæi mu se 15I govoreæi: Gospode! pomiluj sina mojega; jer o mijeni bjesni i muèi se vrlo; jer mnogo puta pada u vatru, i mnogo puta u vodu. 16I dovedoh ga uèenicima tvojijem, i ne mogoše ga iscijeliti. 17A Isus odgovarajuæi reèe: o rode nevjerni i pokvareni! dokle æu biti s vama? dokle æu vas trpljeti? Dovedite mi ga amo. 18I zaprijeti mu Isus; i ðavo iziðe iz njega; i ozdravi momèe od onoga èasa.

Commemorations

Righteous Eudocimus of Cappadocia (9th c.)

“Saint Eudocimus was from Cappadocia, the son of pious and most illustrious parents, patricians in rank. He especially cultivated chastity and mercy, the one by never meeting the gaze of a woman, the other by cheerfully providing the needs of the poor. When he was made military commander of Cappadocia, he continued in his righteous ways, showing mercy and uprightness in all his dealings. Having so lived in piety, quietly and without ostentation, he was called from this life at the age of thirty-three, about the year 840, during the reign of the Iconoclast Theophilus. Not long after his burial, his grave became a fountain of unending miracles, as God revealed the virtue that Eudocimus had striven to hide; when his grave was later opened, his body was found incorrupt. His holy relics were translated to Constantinople.” (Great Horologion)

Righteous Joseph of Arimathea (1st c.)

The “noble Joseph” was a secret follower of Christ and a wealthy member of the Jewish Sanhendrin (ruling council); it was he who provided Christ’s tomb. When his faith became known he was driven from the Sanhendrin, from the synagogues, and from the Holy Land, and traveled through many lands, proclaiming the Gospel of Christ. According to some accounts he eventually reached England, where he reposed in peace.
