37 ὁ δὲ εἶπεν, ὁ ποιήσας τὸ ἔλεος μετ' αὐτοῦ. εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ ὁ ἰησοῦς, πορεύου καὶ σὺ ποίει ὁμοίως.
38 ἐν δὲ τῷ πορεύεσθαι αὐτοὺς αὐτὸς εἰσῆλθεν εἰς κώμην τινά: γυνὴ δέ τις ὀνόματι μάρθα ὑπεδέξατο αὐτόν.
39 καὶ τῇδε ἦν ἀδελφὴ καλουμένη μαριάμ, [ἣ] καὶ παρακαθεσθεῖσα πρὸς τοὺς πόδας τοῦ κυρίου ἤκουεν τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ.
40 ἡ δὲ μάρθα περιεσπᾶτο περὶ πολλὴν διακονίαν: ἐπιστᾶσα δὲ εἶπεν, κύριε, οὐ μέλει σοι ὅτι ἡ ἀδελφή μου μόνην με κατέλιπεν διακονεῖν; εἰπὲ οὖν αὐτῇ ἵνα μοι συναντιλάβηται.
41 ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ εἶπεν αὐτῇ ὁ κύριος, μάρθα μάρθα, μεριμνᾷς καὶ θορυβάζῃ περὶ πολλά,
42 ἑνὸς δέ ἐστιν χρεία: μαριὰμ γὰρ τὴν ἀγαθὴν μερίδα ἐξελέξατο ἥτις οὐκ ἀφαιρεθήσεται αὐτῆς.

Κυριακή 23 Ιανουαρίου 2011

Kontakion in the Fourth Tone As an honored branch of Christ, Who is the True Vine, all-famed Clement, thou didst win thy many contests for the Faith, crying with them that had shared thy pains: Christ is the Martyrs' exceedingly radiant joy.

Clement the Hieromartyr and Bishop of Ancyra

Reading from the Synaxarion:

Saint Clement, who was from Ancyra in Galatia, was the son of an
unbelieving father, but a believing mother whose name was Sophia. At first
he lived as a monk, later he became the bishop of his city. He
suffered so many things in confession of the Faith in Christ, that the
time of his sufferings and struggles stretched out over a period of
twenty-eight years. Finally he and Saint Agathangelos (who was from Rome)
were beheaded together during the reign of Diocletian and Maximian, in
the year 296.

Apolytikion in the Fourth Tone
Thou didst blossom forth for the faithful, O most sacred Clement, as a
branch of holiness, a staff of contest, a most sacred flower, and a
sweet God-given fruit. But as a fellow-sufferer of martyrs and a
fellow-prelate of hierarchs, intercede with Christ our God that our souls be
saved.
