APOLYTIKION resurrectional of the Tone of the
day – Tone 6
When
the angelic powers appeared at Your grave, the soldiers guarding it feared
and became as dead. And standing by the sepulcher was Mary who was seeking
Your immaculate body. You devastated Hades, not afflicted by it. You went to
meet the virgin, and granted eternal life. You resurrected from the dead. O
Lord, glory to You. (FSD)

let us worship and fall down before Christ. Save us, O Son of God, Who are

day – Tone 6
When the angelic
powers appeared at Your tomb, the soldiers guarding You became as still as
dead. But standing at Your sepulcher
was Mary seeking Your pure immaculate body.
And You did vanquish Hades and uncorrupted by its sting You came up to
Your Virgin mother bestowing the gift of life. To You who rose from the dead, our Lord we
give glory to You. (DLH, p. 86)
APOLYTIKION of the
Apostle Timothy – Tone 4
Having learned kindness, and being always steady
and sober, vested with a good conscience as befits a priest, you drew out
from the Chosen Vessel the secrets of God. And having kept the faith, you
have finished the fair race, O Hieromartyr Timothy. Intercede with Christ our
God, entreating Him to save our souls.
APOLYTIKION of St.
Anastasios the Persian – Tone

He
is the glory of Martyrs, and for Monks everlasting boast, he is the treasure
of Persia,
and our wise and holy saint Anastasios, who always aids the flock, and
preaches to us boldly our faith. In angelic hymns do we praise him now and
say: Glory to Him who granted you the might, glory to Him who has crowned
you, glory to Him who acts through you, healing the ailments of all.
APOLYTIKION
of our Church (Holy Trinity) – Tone 8
O Blessed are you, O Christ our God, who by

APOLYTIKION
of our Church (St. Nicholas) – Tone 4
(DLH, p. 110)
As a yardstick of faith and an icon of gentleness;
as a teacher of temperance, your actual deeds have declared you as being
among your flock. In this manner you
gained by humility, things most sublime, and through poverty earned true
wealth. Father and our hierarch St.
Nicholas intercede with Christ our God that our souls may be saved.
KONTAKION of the
feast of Hypapante – Tone 1
The womb of a virgin you did hallow at your birth, and as it
befitted you blessed elder Symeon’s arms.
You also reached out and saved us all, O Christ our God. Now, bring peace to our nation tangled in a
war, and make firm our leaders whom you dearly love, for you are the only
lover of man.

Today's
Gospel is about vanity and about the way in which it can be overcome. Vanity
is that miserable condition of the soul, in which we derive our sense of
worth from the judgment of those who surround us. Yet, the things for which we are praised
are vain and empty. We do not turn to those capable of a sound, possibly
severe judgment, but to people who offer us praise. We are prepared to forget
the judgment of God provided we feel supported by the judgment of men. Zacchaeus shows us another way: care
nothing about the judgment of men because the judgment of God, the presence
of God, and perhaps the judgment of one who may not praise us, but is a
person of integrity and of truth, matters more. There are two ways of shaking
off the fear of men, this dependence upon human's judgment at the cost of our
own integrity. St John Climacus says that
|
the
way to get rid of vanity is humility,
i.e., bowing before the judgment of God. Let us lie before Him like the
parched earth, abandoned, helpless, thirsty, hungry, longing, desperate: this
is the beginning of humility. Then we can begin to overcome vanity by gratitude. Let us learn first of all
to be grateful that God gives us the possibility to do right, instead of
preening ourselves. Remaining grateful and amazed at God's goodness, we may
learn to be humble, in adoration of God's greatness, in veneration of other
people, in the readiness to forget ourselves completely for the sake of God, for
the sake of any person who meets us and challenges us to be compassionate, to
be loving, to be understanding. Then, vanity will leave us free, at least for
a moment, and we will be able to face ourselves.
METROPOLITAN ANTHONY BLOOM OF SOUROZH (1978)
