Judgement Sunday

The foregoing two parables -- especially that of the Prodigal Son --

have presented to us God's extreme goodness and love for man. But

lest certain persons, putting their confidence in this alone, live care-

Saint lessly, squandering upon sin the time given them to work out their sal-
Sophia
Greek vation, and death suddenly snatch them away, the most divine Fathers
Orthodox
have a Appointed this day's feast commemorating Christ's impartial
Cathedral
Second Coming, through which we bring to mind that God is not only
Miami,
Florida the Friend of man, but also the most righteous Judge, Who recom-

February 27th penses to each according to his deeds. It is the aim of the holy Fa-
2022
thers, through bringing to mind that fearful day, to rouse us from the
Telephone:
305- 854-2922 slumber of carelessness unto the work of virtue, and to move us to love

Resurrectional Apolytikion –Tone 3

.Εὐφραινέσθω τὰ οὐράνια,
Let the Heavens rejoice; let earthly things be glad; for the Lord hath wrought might with His arm,
He hath trampled upon death by death. The first-born of the dead hath He become. From the

belly of Hades hath He delivered us, and hath granted great mercy to the world.

Apolytikion for St. Sophia Tone 3

Χαίρει ἔχουσα ἡ Ἐκκλησία
Having you and your three daughters, as a sacred boast the Church rejoices, and with gladness
she praises you, You are to me my pride and joy, as are the most precious relics of your children;
Oh Glorious Martyrs: Sophia, Faith, Hope and Love, intercede to Christ our God to save our

souls.

Ὅταν ἔλθῃς ὁ Θεός, ἐπὶ γῆς μετὰ δόξης,
O God, when You come upon the earth in glory, the whole world will tremble. A river of fire will
bring all before Your Judgment Seat and the books will be opened, and everything in secret will
become public. At that time, deliver me from the fire which never dies, and enable me to stand by

val Your right hand, O Judge most just

Epistle Reading:

St. Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians 8:8-13; 9:1-2

Brethren, food will not commend us to God. We are no worse off if we do not eat,
and no better off if we do. Only take care lest this liberty of yours somehow become
a stumbling block to the weak. For if any one sees you, a man of knowledge, at table
in an idol's temple, might he not be encouraged, if his conscience is weak, to eat food
offered to idols? And so by your knowledge this weak man is destroyed, the brother
for whom Christ died. Thus, sinning against your brethren and wounding their
conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ. Therefore, if food is a cause of
my brother's falling, I will never eat meat, lest I cause my brother to fall. Am I not
free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are not you my work-
manship in the Lord? If to others I am not an apostle, at least I am to you; for you are
the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.

Gospel Reading:

Matthew 25:31-46

The Lord said, "When the Son of man comes in his glory and all the holy angels with
him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. Before him will be gathered all the nations,
and he will separate them one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from
the goats, and he will place the sheep at his right hand, but the goats at the left.
Then the king will say to those at his right hand, 'Come, O blessed of my Father,
inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was
hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger
and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I
was in prison and you came to me.' Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when
did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we

see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see
you sick or in prison and visit you?' And the King will answer them, 'Truly, I say to you,
as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me.' Then he will say
to those at his left hand, 'Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for
the devil and his angels; for I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you
gave me no drink, I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not
clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.' Then they also will answer, 'Lord,
when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did
not minister to you?' Then he will answer them, 'Truly, I say to you, as you did it not to
one of the least of these, you did it not to me.' And they will go away into eternal punish-
ment, but the righteous into eternal life."

Our Goya ministering to the community

Sleepout America is a fundraiser for the Covenant House, an

organization of shelters for homeless and trafficked youth. Every

year, the Covenant House hosts a Sleepout where participants

sleep in a place that is uncomfortable (the floor, a box, a car etc.)

for one night as a symbol of solidarity towards homeless and

trafficked youth. Our GOYAns will be participating in a district

wide Sleepout on March 11th, 2022. Participants will fundraise through Donor Drive

(from now until the night of the Sleepout which will be held in-person at St. Mark’s in Bo-

ca Raton.) There will be priest-led discussions, time for reflection, and of course a
