RESURRECTIONAL APOLYTIKION IN TONE SIX
When Mary stood at Thy grave, looking for Thy sacred body, angelic powers shone above Thy revered tomb; and the soldiers who were to keep guard became as dead men. Thou led Hades cap ve and wast not tempted thereby. Thou didst meet the Virgin and didst give life to the world, O Thou, Who art risen from the dead, O Lord, glory to Thee.

THE EPISTLE
(For the Holy Fathers)
Blessed art Thou, O Lord, the God of our Fathers. For Thou art just in all that Thou hast done for us.
The Reading from the Epistle of St. Paul to St. Titus (3:8‐15)
Titus, my son, the saying is sure. I desire you to insist on these things, so that those who have believed in God may be careful to apply themselves to good deeds; these are excellent and profitable to men. But avoid stupid controversies, genealogies, dissensions, and quarrels over the law, for they are unprofitable and fu le. As for a man who is fac ous, a er admonishing him once or twice, have nothing more to do with him, knowing that such a person is perverted and sinful; he is self‐condemned. When I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, do your best to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to spend the winter there. Do your best to speed Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their way; see that they lack nothing. And let our people learn to apply themselves to good deeds, so as to help cases of urgent need, and not to be unfrui ul. All who are with me send gree ngs to you. Greet those who love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.
THE GOSPEL
(For the Holy Fathers)
The Reading from the Holy Gospel according to St. Ma hew (5:14‐19) The Lord said to His Disciples: “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hid. Nor do men light a lamp and put it under a bushel, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father Who is in heaven. Think not that I have come to abolish the law and the prophets; I have come not to abolish them, but to fulfill them. For truly, I say to you, un l heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the law un l all is accomplished. Whoever then relaxes one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but he who does them and teaches them shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.”

L’ÉPITRE
Béni es‐tu Seigneur, Dieu de nos Pères
Lecture de l’Épître de Saint Paul à Tite (3:8‐15)
Ce e parole est certaine, et je veux que tu affirmes ces choses, afin que ceux qui ont cru
en Dieu s'appliquent à pra quer de bonnes oeuvres. Voilà ce qui est bon et u le aux
hommes. Mais évite les discussions folles, les généalogies, les querelles, les disputes
rela ves à la loi; car elles sont inu les et vaines. Éloigne de toi, après un premier et un
second aver ssement, celui qui provoque des divisions, sachant qu'un homme de ce e
espèce est perver , et qu'il pèche, en se condamnant lui‐même. Lorsque je t'enverrai
Artémas ou Tychique, hâte‐toi de venir me rejoindre à Nicopolis; car c'est là que j'ai résolu
de passer l'hiver. Aie soin de pourvoir au voyage de Zénas, le docteur de la loi, et
d'Apollos, en sorte que rien ne leur manque. Il faut que les nôtres aussi apprennent à
pra quer de bonnes oeuvres pour subvenir aux besoins pressants, afin qu'ils ne soient pas
sans produire des fruits. Tous ceux qui sont avec moi te saluent. Salue ceux qui nous
aiment dans la foi. Que la grâce soit avec vous tous!
L’ÉVANGILE
Lecture de l’Évangile selon Saint Ma hieu (9:1‐8)
Vous êtes la lumière du monde. Une ville située sur une montagne ne peut être cachée;
et on n'allume pas une lampe pour la me re sous le boisseau, mais on la met sur le
chandelier, et elle éclaire tous ceux qui sont dans la maison. Que votre lumière luise ainsi
devant les hommes, afin qu'ils voient vos bonnes oeuvres, et qu'ils glorifient votre Père
qui est dans les cieux. Ne croyez pas que je sois venu pour abolir la loi ou les prophètes; je
suis venu non pour abolir, mais pour accomplir. Car, je vous le dis en vérité, tant que le
ciel et la terre ne passeront point, il ne disparaîtra pas de la loi un seul iota ou un seul trait
de le re, jusqu'à ce que tout soit arrivé. Celui donc qui supprimera l'un de ces plus pe ts
commandements, et qui enseignera aux hommes à faire de même, sera appelé le plus
pe t dans le royaume des cieux; mais celui qui les observera, et qui enseignera à les
observer, celui‐là sera appelé grand dans le royaume des cieux.

THE SYNAXARION On July 15 in the Holy Orthodox Church, we commemorate the Great Prince Vladimir (Basil) of Kiev, Equal‐to‐the‐Apostles; and the Martyrs Kyrikos and his mother Juli a of Tarsus. On this Sunday, we commemorate the 630 holy and God‐bearing Fathers of the Fourth Ecumenical Council, which convened in Chalcedon in 451 against the Monophysites.
Verses
Shunning opposite errors like the sea monsters Scylla and Charybdis,
The Fathers steer the Church on a straight course to safety. The Holy Fathers were, once again, concerned with the nature of Jesus Christ. The false teaching arose that Christ’s human nature (considered by here cs as less perfect) dissolved itself in His divine nature (considered by here cs as more perfect): like a cube of sugar in a parcel of water. Thus, in that scenario, Christ had only one nature, the Divine. These false preachers were called Monophysites (“mono”, meaning “one” and “physis”, meaning “nature”), and they were led by Eutyches
and Dioscorus. Monophysi sm overemphasized the divine nature of Christ, at the expense of the human. The Fourth Ecumenical Council condemned Monophysi sm and proclaimed that Christ has two complete natures: the divine and the human, as defined by previous Councils. These two natures func on as equally perfect, without confusion, and are neither divided nor separate. The Fathers declared that at no me did they undergo any change. By the intercessions of Thy Saints, O Christ God, have mercy upon us. Amen.
