Fifth Week After Pentecost

June 17-23, 2013

Fifth Week After Pentecost

 
Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad; * for the Lord has shown strength with His arm. * He has trampled Death by death; * He has become the first-born of the dead. * He has delivered us from the belly of Hades, * and has granted great mercy to the world. (Troparion, Tone 3)

Today's Scripture
Matthew 8:5-10, 13 - As [Jesus] entered Caper'na-um, a centurion came forward to him, beseeching him and saying, "Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, in terrible distress." And he said to him, "I will come and heal him." But the centurion answered him, "Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof; but only say the word, and my servant will be healed. For I am a man under authority, with soldiers under me; and I say to one, `Go,' and he goes, and to another, `Come,' and he comes, and to my slave, `Do this,' and he does it." When Jesus heard him, he marveled, and said to those who followed him, "Truly, I say to you, not even in Israel have I found such faith." … And to the centurion Jesus said, "Go; be it done for you as you have believed." And the servant was healed at that very moment. (RSV, From the Gospel for the Fourth Sunday)
