THE EXALTATION OF THE HOLY, PRECIOUS, AND LIFE-GIVING CROSS
____________________________________________
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him might not perish but might have eternal life.” (John 3:16)
God is Love. His love for us is infinite, limitless. Without measure. In the fulness of time, God sends His Only Begotten Son into the world to redeem us, save us. How did Jesus do this? By His passion, death, and resurrection. The crucifixion was the greatest act of injustice done to One Who was and is totally innocent. During the Divine Liturgy on weekdays, we pray the First Antiphon: The Lord our God is righteous; in Him there is no wrong. Jesus, the Son of God, took upon Himself the sin of the world, although He Himself was sinless. Jesus bore the shame of the cross. For crucifixion was reserved as punishment for the most heinous of sins, crimes. Jesus our Lord endured this to rescue us from the bonds of the evil one. By His death on the Cross, He conquered death by death. His rising from the dead on the third day, His resurrection is a pledge, a promise of our own resurrection, if we but remain faithful to Christ and His gospel message of absolute Love and Truth. Having opened the gates to Heaven, Christ descended into Hades, the waiting place where the righteous would wait for the Messiah to come and make reparation for sin. In the Icon of the Descent into Hades, Christ extends His hands to Adam and Eve. This gesture symbolizes the victory of the Risen Christ over the powers of sin, death, and evil. The offer to salvation is extended to all. We baptized Christians have been designated as heirs to the Kingdom of Heaven. We shall inherit eternal life if we take up our cross and follow in the footsteps of Christ. For the Christian, the Cross is a sign of Victory and thus we live in the hope of our own resurrection. We have the blessed assurance that the Lord God truly loves us and wants us to be deemed worthy of His eternal kingdom of Heaven. On Wednesdays and Fridays throughout the year, we sing or recite the troparion, a hymn commemorating the victory of the Cross of Christ: “Save Your people, O Lord, and bless Your inheritance, grant victory to Your faithful people against enemies, and protect Your people by Your Cross.” May our long-suffering brothers and sisters in Christ, especially in Ukraine, find some solace knowing that after the cross comes the resurrection. The Lord God shall come again to judge all nations, all people, the living and the dead. On that glorious day, all wrongs will be made right and there will be Justice, swift and complete. – Father D. George Worschak
SUNDAY AFTER THE EXALTATION OF THE HOLY CROSS
First Antiphon, from the Feast of the Exaltation
O God, my God, hear me; why have you forsaken me? The words of my transgressions put salvation far from me.
Through the prayers of the Mother of God, O Savior, save us!
O God, I will call to You by day, but You will not listen; and by night, yet it will not be foolish of me.
Through the prayers of the Mother of God, O Savior, save us!
But You, the praise of Israel, dwell in the holy place.
Through the prayers of the Mother of God, O Savior, save us!
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, now and forever and ever. Amen.
Only begotten Son . . . .
Third Antiphon, from Sunday and the Feast of the Exaltation
Come, let us sing joyfully to the Lord, let us acclaim God, our Savior. Son of God, crucified in the flesh, save us who sing to You: Alleluia!
Let us come before His face with praise, and acclaim Him in psalms. Son of God, crucified in the flesh, save us who sing to You: Alleluia!
For God is the great Lord, and the great king over all the earth. Son of God, crucified in the flesh, save us who sing to You: Alleluia!
Priest: Wisdom! Stand aright!
People: Come, let us worship and fall down before Christ. Son of God, crucified in the flesh, save us who sing to You: Alleluia!
Tropar of the Resurrection, tone 8 — You came down from on high, O Merciful One, and accepted three days of burial to free us from our sufferings. O Lord, our life and our resurrection, glory be to You!
Tropar of the Cross, tone 1 — Save Your people, O Lord, and bless Your inheritance. Grant victory to Your faithful people against enemies, and protect Your community by Your cross.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
Kondak of the Resurrection, tone 7 —When You rose from the tomb, You also raised the dead and resurrected Adam. Eve exults in Your resurrection, and the ends of the world celebrate Your rising from the dead, O most merciful One.
Now and forever and ever. Amen.
Kondak of the Cross, tone 4 — By Your own choice, O Christ our God, You were lifted on the cross. Grant Your mercies to Your new community that bears Your name. By Your power, gladden the faithful people, and grant them victory against enemies. May they have the help of Your instrument of peace, the invincible sign of victory.
“HOLY GOD” is sung as usual.
Prokimen of the Cross, tone 7
Exalt the Lord our God, and bow in worship at the footstool of His feet, for it is holy.
verse: The Lord reigns, let the peoples tremble.
Exalt the Lord our God, and bow in worship at the footstool of His feet, for it is holy.
Alleluia verses of the Sunday after the Exaltation
Remember Your congregation, which You acquired from the beginning.
But God is our king before the ages; He has wrought salvation in the midst of the earth.
Hymn to the Mother of God (instead of “It is truly right . . .”
O my soul, magnify the most precious Cross of the Lord.
You are a mystical Paradise, O Mother of God, who though untilled, have brought forth Christ. He has planted upon earth the life-giving Tree of the Cross. Therefore today, as we raise it on high, we bow low and we magnify you.
Communion Verse of Sunday, and of the Cross
Let the light of Your countenance, O Lord, shine upon us.
Praise the Lord from the heavens; praise Him in the highest!
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
EPISTLE – Galatians 2:16-20
“A reading from the Epistle of the holy apostle paul, to the GALATians”
Brethren, we know that a person is justified not by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ. And we have come to believe in Christ Jesus, so that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by doing the works of the law, because no one will be justified by the works of the law.
But if, in our effort to be justified in Christ, we ourselves have been found to be sinners, is Christ then a servant of sin? Certainly not!
But if I build up again the very things that I once tore down, then I demonstrate that I am a transgressor.
For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God. I have been crucified with Christ;
and it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me.
And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
GOSPEL – Mark 8:34—9:1
AT THAT TIME, Jesus called the crowd with his disciples, and said to them, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel’s will save it.
For what does it profit a man, to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?
For what can a man give in return for his life? For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of man also be ashamed, when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.” And he said to them, “Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see that the kingdom of God has come with power.”
BENEATH THE CROSS I STAY
(Peed Khrest Tviy Stayu)
Beneath the Cross I stay, to mourn, to weep, to grieve, to pray.
(repeat) O Christ crucified, Who, in torment died, for sin-ins of the world.
You sacrificed for me, by dying on the sacred tree.
(repeat) For my sins I plead, Jesus, You I need. Cleanse me-e of my sins.
O Jesus, You are mine, Savior and God of all, Divine.
(repeat) How I pray to Thee: Jesus come to me, and save my sinful soul.

Please include in your prayers those members of our parish who are in hospitals, care homes, rehabilitation facilities & those who are not able to join us actively in our church community.

Prayer For Peace in Ukraine
Heavenly Father, You Son taught us “Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the sons of God.” We fervently pray in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, that you inspire men to become peacemakers. May mankind seek reconciliation and peace as is Your Will in this world. May tranquility be restored to all nations and especially Ukraine. God, Our Father, we beseech You to comfort the suffering, heal the wounded, and accept the souls of the dearly departed into Your heavenly kingdom. May the Most Holy Mother of God extend Her Mantle of Protection over Ukraine and the whole world. May each of us always live our lives as instruments of Your peace, in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

- Exaltation of the Holy Cross
As well as celebrating the sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross, the feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross commemorates two historical events. The first is the discovery in 320 AD of the True Cross, of Calvary and of the tomb of Christ by St. Helena, the mother of Emperor Constantine, which the Romans had buried under a Temple to Venus. The second is the dedication of a church on the site in 335 AD. Today this church, in continuous existence since then, is known as the Basilica of the Holy Sepulcher, and houses Calvary, the Tomb of Jesus and the cistern in which St. Helena found the instruments of the Passion, including the Cross.
- Collection for Insurance next Weekend
A reminder that Donations toward our Insurance Costs can be made next weekend, September 16th & 17th. Please use the specially marked envelope in your collection packet. Thank you for your generous support of our Parish.
