Scripture Readings

Acts 8.18-25 (Epistle)

18A kad vidje Simon da se daje Duh sveti kad apostoli metnu ruke, donese im novce 19Govoreæi: dajte i meni ovu vlast da kad metnem ruke na koga primi Duha svetoga. 20A Petar mu reèe: novci tvoji s tobom da budu u pogibao, što si pomislio da se dar Božij može dobiti za novce. 21Nema tebi dijela ni iseta u ovoj rijeèi; jer srce tvoje nije pravo pred Bogom. 22Pokaj se dakle od ove svoje pakosti, i moli se Bogu da bi ti se oprostila pomisao srca tvoga. 23Jer te vidim da si u grkoj žuèi i u svezi nepravde. 24A Simon odgovarajuæi reèe: pomolite se vi Gospodu za mene da ne naiðe na mene ništa od ovoga što rekoste. 25Tako oni posvjedoèivši i govorivši rijeè Gospodnju vratiše se u Jerusalim, i mnogijem selima Samarijskijem propovjediše jevanðelje.

John 6.35-39 (Gospel)

35A Isus im reèe: ja sam hljeb života: koji meni dolazi neæe ogladnjeti, i koji mene vjeruje neæe nikad ožednjeti. 36Nego vam kazah da me i vidjeste i ne vjerujete. 37Sve što meni daje otac k meni æe doæi; i koji dolazi k meni neæu ga istjerati napolje. 38Jer siðoh s neba ne da èinim volju svoju, nego volju oca koji me posla. 39A ovo je volja oca koji me posla da od onoga što mi dade ništa ne izgubim, nego da ga vaskrsnem u pošljednji dan.

Commemorations

St Theodore Trichinas (the Hair-shirt wearer), hermit near Constantinople (400)

He was born in Constantinople to well-off and pious parents. He became a monastic in Thrace, and subjected himself to many ascetic labors, one of which was always to dress in a hair-shirt, from which he was called “Trichinas” (meaning “hairy”). He was granted the gift of working miracles, both during his lifetime and after his repose. His relics exuded a healing myrrh.

Holy Apostle Zaccheus

This is the tax-collector Zaccheus whom Jesus called down from the tree in Jericho (Luke ch. 19). He became a faithful disciple and, after the Resurrection, a companion of the Apostle Peter. He became Bishop of Caesarea in Palestine, where he served faithfully and reposed in peace.
