Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom

Apolytikion for St. Raphael in the Fourth Tone

Because of the finding of your holy relics, wise

one, * the Island of Lesvos has been filled fully

with the grace, * which God richly gave to you. *

You, O devout martyr Raphael, paradoxically *

appeared to many people, and you grant cures

and healings. * And therefore we the faithful re-

joice in all your miracles.

Apolytikion for St. Raphael in the First Tone

To the offspring of Ithaca, the pride and joy of

Lesvos, * monastic martyrs’ glory, let us offer to

Raphael our songs of praise; * for lately he

appeared, and pours out cures and healings to us

all. * Inexplicably he appears to believers, both in

dreams and awake, who cry: * Glory to Christ

who gave you His might. * Glory to Him who gave

you miracles. * Glory to Him who through you

fulfills our prayerful requests.

Apolytikion in honor of Sts. Raphael, Nicholas &

Irene

Having contended on Lesvos for the sake of

Christ God, you have sanctified the island since

the discovery of your sacred relics, O blessed

ones; wherefore we honor you, O Godbearing

Raphael, together with Nicholas and virgin Irene,

as our divine protectors and intercessors with the

Lord.

Singers and Chanters: Richard Bethune, Tabitha Bethune,

Anthony Birozes, David Boyd and Lynne Lucher

Resurrectional Apolytikion in the Fourth Tone

When the women Disciples of the Lord had learned from

the Angel the joyful message of the Resurrection and had

rejected the ancestral decision, they cried aloud to the

Apostles triumphantly: Death has been despoiled, Christ

God has risen, granting His great mercy to the world.

Apolytikion for Mid-Pentecost in the Plagal of the

Fourth Tone

O Lord, midway through the feast, give drink to my thirsty

soul from the waters of true religion. For to all You the

Savior cried aloud, “Let whoever is thirsty come to Me and

drink.” O Christ our God, the fountain of life, glory to You.

Seasonal Kontakion in the Plagal of the Fourth Tone

Though You went down into the tomb, O Immortal One, yet

You brought down the dominion of Hades; and You rose as

the victor, O Christ our God; and You called out "Rejoice"

to the Myrrh-bearing women, and gave peace to Your

Apostles, O Lord who to the fallen grant resurrection.

Apolytikion of Pascha in the Plagal of the First Tone

Christ is risen from the dead, by death trampling down upon

death, and to those in the tombs He has granted life.

Χριστὸς ἀνέστη ἐκ νεκρῶν, θανάτῳ θάνατον πατήσας, καὶ

τοῖς ἐν τοῖς μνήμασι, ζωὴν χαρισάμενος.

Sunday of the Samaritan Woman

EPISTLE READING

Acts of the Apostles 11:19-30

In those days, those apostles who were scattered because of the persecution that arose over

Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to none except

Jews. But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who on coming to Antioch

spoke to the Greeks also, preaching the Lord Jesus. And the hand of the Lord was with them,

and a great number that believed turned to the Lord. News of this came to the ears of the church

in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch. When he came and saw the grace of God, he

was glad; and he exhorted them all to remain faithful to the Lord with steadfast purpose; for he

was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a large company was added to the

Lord. So Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul; and when he had found him, he brought him

to Antioch. For a whole year they met with the church, and taught a large company of people;

and in Antioch the disciples were for the first time called Christians. Now in these days

prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch. And one of them named Agabos stood up and

foretold by the Spirit that there would be a great famine over all the world; and this took place

in the days of Claudius. And the disciples determined, every one according to his ability, to

send relief to the brethren who lived in Judea, and they did so, sending it to the elders by the

hand of Barnabas and Saul.

Πράξεις Ἀποστόλων 11:19-30

Ἐν ταῖς ἡμεραῖς ἐκείναις, διασπαρέντες οἱ Ἀπόστολοι ἀπὸ τῆς θλίψεως τῆς γενομένης ἐπὶ

Στεφάνῳ διῆλθον ἕως Φοινίκης καὶ Κύπρου καὶ Ἀντιοχείας, μηδενὶ λαλοῦντες τὸν λόγον εἰ μὴ

μόνον Ἰουδαίοις. Ἦσαν δέ τινες ἐξ αὐτῶν ἄνδρες Κύπριοι καὶ Κυρηναῖοι, οἵτινες εἰσελθόντες

εἰς Ἀντιόχειαν, ἐλάλουν πρὸς τοὺς Ἑλληνιστάς, εὐαγγελιζόμενοι τὸν κύριον Ἰησοῦν. Καὶ ἦν

χεὶρ κυρίου μετʼ αὐτῶν· πολύς τε ἀριθμὸς πιστεύσας ἐπέστρεψεν ἐπὶ τὸν κύριον. Ἠκούσθη δὲ ὁ

λόγος εἰς τὰ ὦτα τῆς ἐκκλησίας τῆς ἐν Ἱεροσολύμοις περὶ αὐτῶν· καὶ ἐξαπέστειλαν Βαρνάβαν

διελθεῖν ἕως Ἀντιοχείας· ὃς παραγενόμενος καὶ ἰδὼν τὴν χάριν τοῦ θεοῦ ἐχάρη, καὶ παρεκάλει

πάντας τῇ προθέσει τῆς καρδίας προσμένειν τῷ κυρίῳ· ὅτι ἦν ἀνὴρ ἀγαθὸς καὶ πλήρης

πνεύματος ἁγίου καὶ πίστεως· καὶ προσετέθη ὄχλος ἱκανὸς τῷ κυρίῳ. Ἐξῆλθεν δὲ εἰς Ταρσὸν ὁ

Βαρνάβας ἀναζητῆσαι Σαῦλον, καὶ εὑρὼν ἤγαγεν αὐτὸν εἰς Ἀντιόχειαν. Ἐγένετο δὲ αὐτοὺς

ἐνιαυτὸν ὅλον συναχθῆναι τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ καὶ διδάξαι ὄχλον ἱκανόν, χρηματίσαι τε πρώτον ἐν

Ἀντιοχείᾳ τοὺς μαθητὰς Χριστιανούς. Ἐν ταύταις δὲ ταῖς ἡμέραις κατῆλθον ἀπὸ Ἱεροσολύμων

προφῆται εἰς Ἀντιόχειαν. Ἀναστὰς δὲ εἷς ἐξ αὐτῶν ὀνόματι Ἄγαβος, ἐσήμανεν διὰ τοῦ

πνεύματος λιμὸν μέγαν μέλλειν ἔσεσθαι ἐφʼ ὅλην τὴν οἰκουμένην· ὅστις καὶ ἐγένετο ἐπὶ

Κλαυδίου Καίσαρος. Τῶν δὲ μαθητῶν καθὼς εὐπορεῖτό τις, ὥρισαν ἕκαστος αὐτῶν εἰς

διακονίαν πέμψαι τοῖς κατοικοῦσιν ἐν τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ ἀδελφοῖς· ὃ καὶ ἐποίησαν, ἀποστείλαντες

πρὸς τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους διὰ χειρὸς Βαρνάβα καὶ Σαύλου..

THE GOSPEL READING

John 4:5-42 At that time, Jesus came to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near the field that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

Jacob's well was there, and so Jesus, wearied as he was with his journey, sat down beside the well. It was about

the sixth hour. There came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give me a drink." For his

disciples had gone away into the city to buy food. The Samaritan woman said to him, "How is it that you, a Jew,

ask a drink of me, a woman of Samaria?" For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans. Jesus answered her, "If

you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, 'Give me a drink,' you would have asked him and

he would have given you living water." The woman said to him, "Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the

well is deep; where do you get that living water? Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well,

and drank from it himself, and his sons, and his cattle?" Jesus said to her, "Everyone who drinks of this water

will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst; the water that I shall

give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life." The woman said to him, "Sir, give me

this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw." Jesus said to her, "Go, call your husband, and come

here." The woman answered him, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her, "You are right in saying, 'I have no

husband'; for you have had five husbands, and he whom you now have is not your husband; this you said truly."

The woman said to him, "Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet. Our fathers worshiped on this mountain; and

you say that Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship." Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe me, the

hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. You worship what

you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews. But the hour is coming, and now

is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for such the Father seeks to worship him.

God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth." The woman said to him, "I know

that the Messiah is coming (he who is called Christ); when he comes, he will show us all things." Jesus said to

her, "I who speak to you am he." Just then his disciples came. They marveled that he was talking with a woman,

but none said, "What do you wish?" or, "Why are you talking with her?" So the woman left her water jar, and

went away into the city and said to the people, "Come, see a man who told me all that I ever did. Can this be the

Christ?" They went out of the city and were coming to him. Meanwhile the disciples besought him, saying

"Rabbi, eat." But he said to them, "I have food to eat of which you do not know." So the disciples said to one

another, "Has anyone brought him food?" Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of him who sent me,

and to accomplish his work. Do you not say, 'There are yet four months, then comes the harvest'? I tell you, lift

up your eyes, and see how the fields are already white for harvest. He who reaps receives wages, and gathers

fruit for eternal life, so that sower and reaper may rejoice together. For here the saying holds true, 'One sows

and another reaps.' I sent you to reap that for which you did not labor; others have labored, and you have

entered into their labor." Many Samaritans from that city believed in him because of the woman's testimony.

"He told me all that I ever did." So when the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to stay with them; and he

stayed there two days. And many more believed because of his word. They said to the woman, "It is no longer

because of your words that we believe, for we have heard ourselves, and we know that this is indeed Christ the

Savior of the world."

PRAYERS BEFORE HOLY COMMUNION

I believe and confess, Lord, that You are truly the Christ, the Son of the living God, Who came

into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the first. I also believe that this is truly Your pure

Body and that this is truly Your precious Blood. Therefore, I pray to You, have mercy upon me,

and forgive my transgressions, voluntary and involuntary, in word and deed, in knowledge or in

ignorance. And make me worthy, without condemnation, to partake of Your pure Mysteries for

the remission of sins and for eternal life. Amen.

How shall I, who am unworthy, enter into the splendor of Your saints? If I should dare to enter

into the bridal chamber, my vesture will condemn me, since it is not a wedding garment; and

being bound up, I shall be cast out by the angels. Cleanse, O Lord, the filth of my soul, and save

me, as You are the one Who loves mankind. In Your love, Lord, cleanse my soul, and save me.

Master Who loves mankind, Lord Jesus Christ, my God, let not these Holy Gifts be to my

judgment because I am unworthy, but rather for the purification and sanctification of both soul

and body and the pledge of the life and Kingdom to come. It is good for me to cleave unto God

and to place in Him the hope of my salvation.

O Son of God, receive me today as a partaker of Your mystical supper. For I will not speak of

the mystery to Your enemies, nor will I give You a kiss, as did Judas. But like the thief, I

confess to You: Remember me, Lord, in Your Kingdom.
