3RD SUNDAY OF LUKE Thomas the Apostle
ΑΠΟΣΤΟΛΟΣ -EPISTLE READING - II Corinthians 6:1-10
B rethren, working together with him, we entreat you not to accept the grace of God in
vain. For he says, "At the acceptable time I have listened to you, and helped you on the
day of salvation." Behold, now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of
salvation. We put no obstacle in any one's way, so that no fault may be found with our ministry,
but as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: through great endurance, in
afflictions, hardships, calamities, beatings, imprisonments, tumults, labors, watching, hunger;
by purity, knowledge, forbearance, kindness, the Holy Spirit, genuine love, truthful speech, and
the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and for the left; in
honor and dishonor, in ill repute and good repute. We are treated as impostors, and yet are true;
as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold we live; as punished, and yet not killed;
as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet
possessing everything.
Ἀ δελφοί, συνεργοῦντες δὲ καὶ παρακαλοῦμεν μὴ εἰς κενὸν τὴν χάριν τοῦ θεοῦ
δέξασθαι ὑμᾶς - λέγει γάρ, Καιρῷ δεκτῷ ἐπήκουσά σου, καὶ ἐν ἡμέρᾳ
σωτηρίας ἐβοήθησά σοι· ἰδού, νῦν καιρὸς εὐπρόσδεκτος, ἰδού, νῦν ἡμέρα
σωτηρίας - μηδεμίαν ἐν μηδενὶ διδόντες προσκοπήν, ἵνα μὴ μωμηθῇ ἡ διακονία· ἀλλʼ
ἐν παντὶ συνιστῶντες ἑαυτοὺς ὡς θεοῦ διάκονοι, ἐν ὑπομονῇ πολλῇ, ἐν θλίψεσιν, ἐν
ἀνάγκαις, ἐν στενοχωρίαις, ἐν πληγαῖς, ἐν φυλακαῖς, ἐν ἀκαταστασίαις, ἐν κόποις, ἐν
ἀγρυπνίαις, ἐν νηστείαις, ἐν ἁγνότητι, ἐν γνώσει, ἐν μακροθυμίᾳ, ἐν χρηστότητι, ἐν
πνεύματι ἁγίῳ, ἐν ἀγάπῃ ἀνυποκρίτῳ, ἐν λόγῳ ἀληθείας, ἐν δυνάμει θεοῦ, διὰ τῶν
ὅπλων τῆς δικαιοσύνης τῶν δεξιῶν καὶ ἀριστερῶν, διὰ δόξης καὶ ἀτιμίας, διὰ
δυσφημίας καὶ εὐφημίας· ὡς πλάνοι καὶ ἀληθεῖς· ὡς ἀγνοούμενοι, καὶ
ἐπιγινωσκόμενοι· ὡς ἀποθνῄσκοντες, καὶ ἰδού, ζῶμεν· ὡς παιδευόμενοι, καὶ μὴ
θανατούμενοι· ὡς λυπούμενοι, ἀεὶ δὲ χαίροντες· ὡς πτωχοί, πολλοὺς δὲ πλουτίζοντες·
ὡς μηδὲν ἔχοντες, καὶ πάντα κατέχοντες.

ΕΥΑΓΓΕΛΙΟΝ - GOSPEL READING - Luke 7:11-16
A t that time, Jesus went to a city called Nain, and his disciples and a great
crowd went with him. As he drew near to the gate of the city, behold, a man
who had died was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she
was a widow; and a large crowd from the city was with her. And when the Lord saw
her, he had compassion on her and said to her, "Do not weep." And he came and
touched the bier, and the bearers stood still. And he said, "Young man, I say to you,
arise." And the dead man sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his moth-
er. Fear seized them all; and they glorified God, saying, "A great prophet has arisen
among us!" and "God has visited his people!"
T ῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ, ἐπορεύετο εἰς πόλιν καλουμένην Ναΐν· καὶ συνεπορεύοντο
αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ ἱκανοὶ καὶ ὄχλος πολύς. ὡς δὲ ἤγγισε τῇ πύλῃ τῆς
πόλεως, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐξεκομίζετο τεθνηκὼς υἱὸς μονογενὴς τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ
αὕτη ἦν χήρα, καὶ ὄχλος τῆς πόλεως ἱκανὸς ἦν σὺν αὐτῇ. καὶ ἰδὼν αὐτὴν ὁ Κύριος
ἐσπλαγχνίσθη ἐπ᾿ αὐτῇ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ· μὴ κλαῖε· καὶ προσελθὼν ἥψατο τῆς σοροῦ,
οἱ δὲ βαστάζοντες ἔστησαν, καὶ εἶπε· νεανίσκε, σοὶ λέγω, ἐγέρθητι. καὶ ἀνεκάθισεν
ὁ νεκρὸς καὶ ἤρξατο λαλεῖν, καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὸν τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ. ἔλαβε δὲ φόβος
πάντας καὶ ἐδόξαζον τὸν Θεόν, λέγοντες ὅτι προφήτης μέγας ἐγήγερται ἐν ἡμῖν, καὶ
ὅτι ἐπεσκέψατο ὁ Θεὸς τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ.

I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart;
I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.
Psalm 9:1
Dear St John Family,
We are grateful that our Good God has blessed us with a home parish in
Anaheim, CA; a parish which seeks to serve and feed our needs, spiritually
and culturally.
Recently, it has come to our attention that giving at the parish
level is lower than is desirable. In fact, 1/3 of stewards are paying
annually in the $1-300 range, which is both concerning and
inadequate to sustain our church budget. This trend, we believe, is
not indicative of how much we care for our parish. We pray and
hope that, where there is ability, families will prioritize the good
financial health of their church, and meet the median pledge of
$1,000.
May our Good Lord give us courage and strength to enlarge our hearts, so
we can love and serve Him, and our neighbor, as He teaches us:
“And [Jesus] answered, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart
and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and
your neighbor as yourself.’ “ Luke 10:27 (ESV)
Respectfully,
The Stewardship Committee
