Today's Hymns

Resurrection Hymn [Tone 3]: Let the heavens rejoice! Let the earth be glad! For the Lord has shown strength with His arm! He has trampled down death by death! He has become the first born of the dead! He has delivered us from the depths of hell, and has granted the world great mercy!

Hymn of SS Peter and Paul: (Tone 4) O First-Enthroned of the Apostles! Teachers of the Universe! Entreat the Master of all, to grant peace to the world and great mercy to our souls!

Resurrection Hymn [Tone 3]: On this day Thou didst rise from the tomb, O Merciful One, leading us from the gates of death. On this day Adam exults as Eve rejoices; with the prophets and patriarchs they unceasingly praise the divine majesty of Thy power!

Prokeimenon [Tone 3]: Sing praises to our God, sing praises! Sing praises to our King, sing praises!

Epistle: (Romans 6:18-23 )
Brothers and Sisters,
Having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness. I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves of uncleanness, and of lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves of righteousness for holiness. For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. What fruit did you have then in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Gospel: (Matthew 8:5-13)
Now when Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, pleading with Him,[6] saying, "Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, dreadfully tormented."[7] And Jesus said to him, "I will come and heal him."[8] The centurion answered and said, "Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed.[9] "For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, 'Go,' and he goes; and to another, 'Come,' and he comes; and to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it."[10] When Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said to those who followed, "Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel![11] "And I say to you that many will come from east and west, and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.[12] "But the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."[13] Then Jesus said to the centurion, "Go your way; and as you have believed, so let it be done for you." And his servant was healed that same hour.

The Faith of the Centurion: "For St. Gregory of Nazianzus, the centurion's faith and approach to the Lord provide an example for us all: 'Wherefore we must purify ourselves first, and then approach this converse with the Pure... be like the Centurion who would seek for healing, but would not, through a praiseworthy fear, receive the Healer into his house.... 'I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof.'" (Archbishop Dmitri, THE MIRACLES OF CHRIST)
