Ἡ γλῶσσά

ὀξυγράφου· ὡραῖος κάλλει παρὰ τοὺς υἱοὺς τῶν
ἀνθρώπων.
3
Ἐξεχύθη χάρις ἐν χείλεσί σου· διὰ τοῦτο εὐλόγησέ σε ὁ Θεὸς εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.

τοῦ βασιλέως.

Χαῖρε κεχαριτωμένη Θεοτόκε Παρθένε· ἐκ σοῦ γὰρ ἀνέτειλεν ὁ Ἥλιος τῆς
δικαιοσύνης, Χριστὸς ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν, φωτίζων τοὺς ἐν σκότει. Εὐφραίνου καὶ σὺ
Πρεσβύτα δίκαιε, δεξάμενος ἐν ἀγκάλαις τὸν ἐλευθερωτὴν τῶν ψυχῶν ἡμῶν,
χαριζόμενος ἡμῖν καὶ τὴν Ἀνάστασιν.

Ἀλληλούϊα.
Ἀπολυτίκιον – Ἦχος γ'
Εὐφραινέσθω τὰ
οὐράνια, ἀγαλλιάσθω τὰ ἐπίγεια, ὅτι ἐποίησε κράτος ἐν βραχίονι αὐτοῦ ὁ
Κύριος, ἐπάτησε τῷ θανάτῳ τὸν θάνατον,
πρωτότοκος τῶν νεκρῶν ἐγένετο, ἐκ κοιλίας Ἅδου ἐρρύσατο ἡμᾶς, καὶ παρέσχε κόσμῳ τὸ μέγα ἔλεος.
Ἀπολυτίκιον – Ἦχος α'
Χαῖρε κεχαριτωμένη Θεοτόκε Παρθένε· ἐκ σοῦ γὰρ ἀνέτειλεν ὁ Ἥλιος τῆς δικαιοσύνης, Χριστὸς ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν, φωτίζων τοὺς ἐν σκότει. Εὐφραίνου καὶ σὺ Πρεσβύτα δίκαιε, δεξάμενος ἐν ἀγκάλαις τὸν ἐλευθερωτὴν τῶν ψυχῶν ἡμῶν, χαριζόμενος ἡμῖν καὶ τὴν Ἀνάστασιν.
Ἀπολυτίκιον – Ἦχος πλ. δ'
Εὐλογητὸς εἶ, Χριστὲ
ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν,
ὁ πανσόφους τοὺς
ἁλιεῖς ἀναδείξας, καταπέμψας
αὐτοῖς τὸ Πνεῦμα
τὸ ἅγιον, καὶ
δι' αὐτῶν τὴν
οἰκουμένην σαγηνεύσας, φιλάνθρωπε,
δόξα σοι.
Ἀπολυτίκιον – Ἦχος δ'
Κανόνα πίστεως καὶ
εἰκόνα πραότητος, ἐγκρατείας
Διδάσκαλον, ἀνέδειξέ σε
τῇ ποίμνῃ σου,
ἡ τῶν πραγμάτων
ἀλήθεια· διὰ τοῦτο
ἐκτήσω τῇ ταπεινώσει
τὰ ὑψηλά, τῇ
πτωχείᾳ τὰ πλούσια,
Πάτερ Ἱεράρχα Νικόλαε·
πρέσβευε Χριστῷ τῷ
Θεῷ, σωθῆναι τὰς
ψυχὰς ἡμῶν.
Κοντάκιον – Ἦχος α'
Ὁ μήτραν παρθενικὴν ἁγιάσας τῷ τόκῳ σου, καὶ χεῖρας τοῦ Συμεὼν εὐλογήσας ὡς ἔπρεπε, προφθάσας καὶ νῦν ἔσωσας ἡμᾶς Χριστὲ ὁ Θεός. Ἀλλ' εἰρήνευσον ἐν πολέμοις τὸ πολίτευμα, καὶ κραταίωσον Βασιλεῖς οὓς ἠγάπησας, ὁ μόνος φιλάνθρωπος.
Τρισάγιον.
Εἰς τό ᾽Εξαιρέτως: ῎Αξιόν ἐστιν....
Κοινωνικόν: Αἰνεῖτε....
Εἴδομεν τό φῶς...
Εἴη τό ὄνομα Κυρίου…
Ἀπόλυσις· Ὁ ἐν ἀγκάλαις τοῦ Δικαίου Συμεὼν βασταχθῆναι καταδεξάμενος....

Let all things above

saved.

lover of man.

In
the Gospel time, a talanton was a
large sum of money equal to 60 minas. A mina equaled 100 denarii (or pennies
in English). During the life of the Savior, an ordinary worker earned one
penny a day. In preparing to leave this world, Christ charged His apostles
and other followers, to continue His work, to gain personal salvation, and to
help to save others. He gave his followers spiritual gifts, talents,
according to his strength. Then Christ left this world. But even to this day,
the Lord distributes His spiritual gifts to the successors of the apostles,
to the pastors of the Church, and to all Christians who believe in Him, who
have a desire to serve Him in some way. The talents in the parable denote all
the good things given by God to man. Material talents are wealth, favorable
living conditions, social status and good health. Talents of the soul are a
lucid mind, a good memory, skills in the arts and crafts, eloquence,
|
courage,
sensitivity, compassion, and other qualities placed in us by the Creator.
There are also talents of the spirit. To these we add the gifts of prayer,
exhortation, and justice. There are many other gifts. He who had gained five
talents used them in business and gained five other talents. He who had
received two talents gained two others. One must increase the talents gained
by exercise in active trading. Having received, for example, the gift of
prayer, we must diligently pray for ourselves and for others; having received
the gift of teaching, we must educate others, and so forth. The cross one
carries in life, one's difficult times and decisions, is also a talent to
use, multiply and increase. And no matter how hard those conditions, the
Christian always comes out victorious, remaining faithful to God in word and
deed until the end of his sojourn here.
