The Prokeimenon: God is wonderful among his saints. Bless God in the congregations.
Brethren, all the saints through faith conquered kingdoms, enforced justice, received promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
quenched raging fire, escaped the edge of the sword, won strength out of weakness, became mighty in war, put foreign armies
to flight. Women received their dead by resurrection. Some were tortured, refusing to accept release, that they might rise
again to a better life. Others suffered mocking and scourging, and even chains and imprisonment. They were stoned, they were
sawn in two, they were tempted, they were killed with the sword; they went about in skins of sheep and goats, destitute,
afflicted, ill-treated - of whom the world was not worthy - wandering over deserts and mountains and in dens and caves of the
earth. And all these, though well attested by their faith, did not receive what was promised, since God had foreseen something
better for us, that apart from us they should not be made perfect. Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of
witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is
set before us, looking to Jesus the pioneer and perfecter of our faith.
The Gospel According to Matthew 10:32-33; 37-38; 19:27-30
The Lord said to his disciples, "Every one who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in
heaven; but whoever denies me before men, I also will deny him before my Father who is in heaven. He who loves father or
mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and he who
does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me." Then Peter said in reply, "Lo, we have left everything and followed
you. What then shall we have?" Jesus said to them, "Truly, I say to you, in the new world, when the Son of man shall sit on his
glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And every one
who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands, for my name's sake, will receive a
hundredfold, and inherit eternal life. But many that are first will be last, and the last first."
A Word: The first Sunday after Pentecost is dedicated to the commemoration of all the saints. Sanctity is the work of the Holy
Spirit; all Christian holiness is a fruit of Pentecost. Fr. Lev Gillet
