Scripture Readings

2 Corinthians 5.10-15 (Epistle)

10Jer nam se svima valja javiti na sudu Hristovu, da primimo svaki što je koji u tijelu èinio, ili dobro ili zlo; 11Znajuæi dakle strah Gospodnji ljude svjetujemo; a Bogu smo poznati, a nadamo se da smo i u vašijem savjestima poznati. 12Jer se ne hvalimo opet pred vama, nego vama dajemo uzrok da se hvalite nama, da imate što odgovoriti onima koji se hvale onijem što je spolja a ne što je u srcu. 13Jer ako se odviše hvalimo, Bogu se hvalimo; ako li smo smjerni, vama smo. 14Jer ljubav Božija nagoni nas, kad mislimo ovo: ako jedan za sve umrije, to dakle svi umriješe. 15Hristos za sve umrije, da oni koji žive ne žive više sebi, nego onome koji za njih umrije i vaskrse.

Mark 1.9-15 (Gospel)

9I u to vrijeme doðe Isus iz Nazareta Galilejskoga, i krsti ga Jovan u Jordanu, 10I odmah izlazeæi iz vode vidje nebo gdje se otvori, i Duh kao golub siðe na nj. 11I glas doðe s neba: ti si sin moj ljubazni koji je po mojoj volji. 12I odmah Duh izvede ga u pustinju. 13I bi ondje u pustinji dana èetrdeset, i kuša ga sotona, i bi sa zvjerinjem, i anðeli služahu mu. 14A pošto predadoše Jovana, doðe Isus u Galileju propovijedajuæi jevanðelje o carstvu Božijemu 15I govoreæi: iziðe vrijeme i približi se carstvo Božije; pokajte se i vjerujte jevanðelje.

Commemorations

Hieromartyr Eutyches (1st c.)

He was a disciple and friend of St John the Theologian, and worked with the Apostle Paul, and is himself named as an Apostle though he is not one of the Seventy. He travelled widely in the ministry of the Gospel of Christ, suffering many imprisonments and tortures. He died in Sebastia, the place of his birth. The Prologue says that he was beheaded, the Great Horologion that he reposed in peace “in deep old age.”

New Hieromartyr Kosmas of Aitolia, Equal-to-the-Apostles (1779)

This recent Equal to the Apostles was born in Mega Dendron (Great Tree) in Aetolia. He became a monk on Mt Athos, where he lived and prayed for many years. But he was troubled by the ignorance of the Gospel that had fallen on many of the Orthodox people, living under the oppression of the Ottoman Turks. He went to Constantinople, where he studied the rhetorical arts and received the blessing of Patriarch Seraphim II to preach the Gospel. He travelled throughout Greece, Macedonia, Serbia and Albania, preaching at every town he visited. Often not only Greeks but many Muslims would come to hear him, so great was his reputation for holiness. Though he always sought the blessing of the local bishop and the local Turkish governor before he preached in an area, his strong condemnations of dishonest business practices aroused the enmity of Orthodox Christian and Jewish merchants, who falsely accused him to the authorities. He was strangled by the Turks and thrown into a river in Albania, but his wonderworking relics were preserved. He reposed at the age of sixty-five.
