First Antiphon

My heart hath poured forth a good

word; I speak of my works to the

king. My tongue is the pen

of a swiftly writing scribe.

Through the intercessions of the The-

otokos, O Saviour, save us.

Grace is poured into thy lips: there-

fore God hath blessed thee forever.

Through the intercessions of the The-

otokos, O Saviour, save us.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son,

and to the Holy Spirit. Now and ever,

and unto ages of ages.

Through the intercessions of the The-

otokos, O Saviour, save us.

Gird Thy sword upon Thy thigh, O

mighty One, in Thy comeliness and

Thy beauty. Bend Thy bow, and pro-

ceed prosperously, and be king.

Save us, O Son of God, Who wast

carried in the arms of righteous

Simeon, who sing to Thee, Alleluia!

Thine arrows are sharp, O mighty

One, in the heart of the king’s ene-

mies; whereby the peoples fall un-

Third Antiphon

Hearken, O daughter, and consider,

and incline thine ear; forget also

thine own people, and thy father’s

house. Even the rich among the peo-

ple shall entreat thy countenance. I

shall commemorate thy name in every

generation.

Rejoice, O Virgin Theotokos, full of

grace; for from thee arose the Sun of

justice, Christ our God, lighting those

who are in darkness. Rejoice and be

glad, O righteous old man, carrying in

thine arms the Deliverer of our souls,

Who granteth us Resurrection.

Troparion of the Resurrection (Tone One)

While the stone was sealed by the Jews, and the soldiers were guarding Thy

most pure body, Thou didst arise on the third day, O Saviour, granting life to the

world; for which cause the Heavenly Powers cried aloud unto Thee, O Giver of

Life, Glory to Thy Resurrection, O Christ! Glory to Thy Kingdom! Glory to

Thy Providence! O Thou who alone art the Lover of Mankind.

tice, Christ our God, lighting those who are in darkness. Rejoice and be glad, O

righteous old man, carrying in thine arms the Deliverer of our souls, Who

granteth us Resurrection.

Kontakion of the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord (Tone One)

Thou, O Christ God, Who by Thy Birth, didst sanctify the Virgin’s womb, and,

as is meet, didst bless Simeon’s arms, and didst also come to save us; preserve

Thy fold in peace, and confirm them whom Thou didst love, for Thou alone art

the Lover of mankind.

عید دخول السید إلى اله��لالرسالة ل

Epistle for the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord

My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior!

For He hath regarded the lowliness of His handmaiden!

The Reading is from St. Paul’s Letter to the Hebrews (7:7-17) Brethren, it is beyond dispute that the inferior is blessed by the superior. Here tithes are

received by mortal men; there, by one of whom it is testified that he lives. One might

even say that Levi himself, who receives tithes, paid tithes through Abraham, for he was

still in the loins of his ancestor when Melchizedek met him. Now if perfection had been

attainable through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law),

what further need would there have been for another priest to arise after the order of

Melchizedek, rather than one named after the order of Aaron? For when there is a

change in the priesthood, there is necessarily a change in the law as well. For the one of

whom these things are spoken belonged to another tribe, from which no one has ever

served at the altar. For it is evident that our Lord was descended from Judah, and in con-

nection with that tribe Moses said nothing about priests. This becomes even more evi-

dent when another priest arises in the likeness of Melchizedek, who has become a priest,

not according to a legal requirement concerning bodily descent but by the power of an

indestructible life. For it is witnessed of him, “Thou art a priest forever, after the order

of Melchizedek.”

The Reading is from the Holy Gospel according to St. Luke (18:10-14)

The Lord spoke this parable: “Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a

Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with

himself, ‘God, I thank Thee that I am not like other men, extortionists, unjust,

adulterers, or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all

that I get.’ But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes

to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me a sinner!’ I tell

you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for every-

one who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be ex-

alted.”

Megalynarion for the Presentation of the Lord (Tone Three)

O Theotokos, thou hope of all Christians;

keep and shelter and preserve them that set their hope in thee.

Let us magnify, O believers, the first-born Son, the eternal Word of the Fa-

ther, first-born of a Mother who knew no man; for we have beheld in the

shadow of the law and the Scriptures a sign, that every first-born male that

openeth the womb is called holy to God.

HOME BLESSINGS

Traditionally, at the feast of the Lord’s Epiphany (Baptism)

on January 6th, the Great Blessing of the waters takes place

and then is used to sanctify the homes of all the faithful. In

bringing the blessed water to the homes, and sprinkling it in

each room, we rid our house of any evil influence, and re-

dedicate it to God in a special way.

As we were once renewed by the waters of our own bap-

tism into Christ, so too our home, and our entire lives, are

re-dedicated and renewed unto Christ our God each year at this time.

- Please contact the Cathedral Office at 305-444-6541 to schedule the

Home Blessing by Fr. Saba.

- The following should be prepared for the Home Blessing:

Bible

Icon

Lit Candle

Burning Incense (Optional)

Small Table (or dining room table)

- The visit by Fr. Saba should be

approximately 45 minutes.

Several visits will be scheduled on a given

day in order to reach and bless ALL fami-

lies and homes this season.

Once the Home Blessing Season is mostly over, Fr. Saba will

continue the regular Pastoral Visits, during which Fr. Saba

will spend ample time with each family.

Altar Vigil Candle To sign-up for the Altar Vigil Candle, please contact the Church Office to submit the names of your loved ones to be remembered for the duration of the month you choose.

The Candle remains lit for an entire month on the Holy Al-tar. There is no fee required to offer the Altar Vigil Can-dle. The offering is by donation only.
