Hymns:         

Troparion of the Resurrection (Tone 1)

After the stone was sealed by the Jews and the while the soldiers were watching Your spotless body, You rose, O Savior, on the third day, bestowing life to the world. Therefore, the heavenly powers cried out to You, O Giver of life: “Glory to Your resurrection, O Christ! Glory to Your kingdom! Glory to Your economy, O You Who alone are the lover of mankind!”

Troparion of the Martyrs (Tone 4)

Your martyrs, O Lord, received the crown of immortality from you O our God, on account of their struggles. Armed with your strength, they have vanquished their persecutors, and crushed the powerless arrogance of demons. Through their supplications, O Christ God, save our souls.

Troparion of the Holy Cross (Tone 1)

O Lord, save your people and bless your inheritance, granting peace to the world. And preserve your community by the power of your Cross.

Kondakion

O never failing Protectress of Christians and their ever-present intercessor before the Creator, despise not the petitions of us sinners, but in your goodness extend your help to us who call upon you with confidence. Hasten, O Mother of God, to intercede for us, for you have always protected those who honor you.

Prokimenon (Tone 1)

May Your kindness, O Lord, be upon us, for we have hoped in You.

Stichon

Exult, you just, in the Lord; praise from the upright is fitting.

Reading from the Second Epistle of St. Paul to the Corinthians (9:6-12)

Brethren, he who sows sparingly, will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Let everyone give as much as he has decided in his heart, not grudgingly or out of compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound in you, so that always having ample means, you may abound in every good work, as it is written, He has scattered abroad and has given to the poor: his righteousness remains forever.

Now, he who provides the sower with seed will both give you bread to eat and multiply your seed, and will increase the growth of the fruits of your justification — that being enriched in all things, you may contribute with simplicity of purpose, and thus through us evoke thanksgiving to God.

Alleluia

O God, You granted me retribution and made peoples subject to me and saved me from my raging enemies.

Stichon

Therefore, I will proclaim you, O Lord, among the nations, and I will sing praise to Your name.

The Holy Gospel According to St. Luke the Evangelist (5:1-11)

At that time Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret. And he saw two boats moored by the lake, but the fishermen had left them and were washing their nets. And getting into one of the boats, the one that was Simon’s, he asked him to put out a little from the land. And sitting down, he began to teach the crowds from the boat. But when he had stopped speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep, and lower your nets for a catch.” And Simon answered and said to him, “Master, the whole night through we have toiled and have taken nothing; but at your word I will lower the net.” And when they had done so, they caught a great number of fishes, but their net was breaking. And they called to their comrades in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink. But when Simon Peter saw this, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord,” For he and all who were with him were amazed at the catch of fish they had made; and so also were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid; from now on you shall catch men.” And when they had brought their boats to land, they left all and followed him.

نشيد القيامة باللحن الأول

إن الحجر ختمه اليهود، وجسدكَ الطاهرَ حرسه الجنود. لكنكَ قمتَ في اليوم الثالث، أيها المخلص، واهباً للعالم الحياة. لذلك قواتُ السماواتِ هتفت اليكَ، يا مُعطيَ الحياة: المجدُ لقيامتكَ أيها المسيح. المجدُ لملكِك. المجدُ لتدبيركَ، يا محبَ البشر وحدك

نشيد الشهيد باللحن الرابع

شهيدكَ يا ربُّ بجهادهِ نالَ اكليلَ الخُلود منكَ يا إلهنا. فإنهُ أحرزَ قُوتكَ فقهر المضطهدينَ. وسحقَ تجَبُرَا لأبالسة الواهي. فبتضرعاتهم أيها المسيح الإله خَلص نفوسنا

النشيد لشفيع الكنيسة

نشيد الختام (القنداق)

يا نصيرةَ المسيحيينَ التي لا تُخزى، ووسيطتَهم الدائمةَ لدى الخالق، لا تعرضي عن أصواتِ الخطأة الطالبين اليكِ. بل بما انكِ صالحة، بادري الى معونتنا، نحن الصارخينَ اليكِ بأيمان: هلمي الى الشفاعة، وأسرعي الى الابتهال، يا والدةَ الالهِ المحاميةَ دائماً عن مكرميكِ

مقدمة الرسالة

لِتكنْ ياربُّ رحمتُك علينا، بحسبِ اتّكالِنا عليكَ

ابتهجوا أَيها الصدّيقون بالربّ، بالمستقيمينَ يليقُ التسبيح

الرسالة

يا إِخوة، من يزرعْ بتقتيرٍ يحصدُ أيضاً بتقتير، ومن يزرعْ بالبركاتِ فبالبركاتِ أَيضاً يحصدْ. فليُعطِ كلُّ احدٍ كما نوى في قلبه، لا عن ابتئاسٍ أَو اضطرار، فإِن الله يُحِبُّ المُعطيَ المُتهلِّل. واللهُ قادرٌ ان يُفيضَ عليكم كلَّ نعمة، حتى إذا كانت لكم كلُ كفايةٍ كلَّ حينٍ في كلِ شيء. تَفيضونَ في كلِ عملٍ صالح، كما كُتِب: إِنه بدَّد وأَعطى المساكين، فبرُّه يدوم إِلى الابد. والذي يرزقُ الزارعَ زرعاً وخبزاً للقوت، يرزقُكم زرعَكم ويُكثّرُه ويَزيدُ غِلالَ بِرّكم، فتستغنونَ في كلِ شيء، لأجل كلِ سخاءٍ خالصٍ ينشئُ شكراً للهِ بواسطتِنا

هللويا

الله هو المُنتقمُ لي، ومُخضِعُ الشعوبِ تحتي

المُعظّمُ خلاصَ الملِك، والصانعُ رحمةً الى مسيحِه

الأحد الأول بعد الصليب

في ذلك الزمان، بينمَا كانَ يسوعُ واقفاً عِنَْْدَ بُحَيرَةِ جَنِّيصارات، رأَى سفينتينِ واقفتينِ عندَ البُحيرة، وقدِ انحدَرَ مِنهُما الصَيَّادون ليَغْسلوا الشِّباك. فرَكبَ إِحدى السَّفينتَين التي كانتْ لسِمعان، وسأَلَهُ أَنْ يَتَباعدَ قليلاً عن البَرّ، وجلَسَ يُعلّمُ الجموعَ من السَّفينة. فلمَّا أَنجزَ كلاَمهُ قالَ لسِمعان: تَقَدَّمْ إِلى العَرْضِ وأَلقُوا شباككُم للصَّيِد. فأَجابَ سمعانُ وقالَ لهُ: يا معلّم قد تَعِبْنا الليلَ كلَّهُ ولم نُصِبْ شَيئاً، ولكِنْ بكلِمتِكَ أُلقي الشبكَة. فلمَّا فعَلوا ذلك حازوا مِن السمكِ شَيئاً كثيراً، فأَخذَت شَبكتُهُم تَتخرَّق. فأَشاروا إِلى شُركائهِم الذين في السَّفينةِ الأَخرى أَن يَأْتُوا لنَجدَتِهم، فأَتَوا ومَلأْوا السَّفينتينِ حتَّى كادَتا تَغرَقان. فلمَّا رأَى ذلك سِمعانُ بُطرسُ خرَّ عِندَ رُكبَتَي يَسوعَ قائلاً: أُبعُد عنّي ياربّ، فإِني رجُلٌ خاطئ. فإِن الذُّهولَ قد اعتراه هوَ وجميعَ الذينَ معهُ بسببِ صَيدِ السَّمكِ الذي أَصابوه. وكذلكَ يَعقوبُ ويوحنَّا ابنا زَبَدى اللَّذانِ كانا شَريكَينِ لسِمعان. فقالَ يسوعُ لسِمعان: لا تَخَف فإِنَّكِ مِنَ الآنَ تكونُ صَيَّاداً للنَاس. ولمَّا بلَغوا بالسَّفينتينِ إِلى البَرّ، تَركُوا كلَّ شَيء وتَبِعُوه
