SUMMARY:Silas\, Silvan\, Crescens\, Epenetus and Andronicus the Apostles of the 70
DESCRIPTION:Saints\, Feasts\, and Readings for 07/30/2026\nSaints and Feasts: Silas\, Silvan\, Crescens\, Epenetus and Andronicus the Apostles of the 70; Julitta of Caesaria\nEpistle Reading: Acts of the Apostles 15:35-41\nIN THOSE DAYS\, Paul and Barnabas remained in Antioch\, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord\, with many others also. And after some days Paul said to Barnabas\, “Come\, let us return and visit the brethren in every city where we proclaimed the word of the Lord\, and see how they are.” And Barnabas wanted to take with them John called Mark. But Paul thought best not to take with them one who had withdrawn from them in Pamphylia\, and had not gone with them to the work. And there arose a sharp contention\, so that they separated from each other; Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus\, but Paul chose Silas and departed\, being commended by the brethren to the grace of the Lord. And he went through Syria and Cilicia\, strengthening the churches.\nGospel Reading: Matthew 20:17-28\nAt that time\, as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem\, he took the twelve disciples aside\, and on the way he said to them\, “Behold\, we are going up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man will be delivered to the chief priests and scribes\, and they will condemn him to death\, and deliver him to the Gentiles to be mocked and scourged and crucified\, and he will be raised on the third day.”\nThen the mother of the sons of Zebedee came up to him\, with her sons\, and kneeling before him she asked him for something. And he said to her\, “What do you want?” She said to him\, “Command that these two sons of mine may sit\, one at your right hand and one at your left\, in your kingdom.” But Jesus answered\, “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am to drink?” They said to him\, “We are able.” He said to them\, “You will drink my cup\, but to sit at my right hand and at my left is not mine to grant\, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father.” And when the ten heard it\, they were indignant at the two brothers. But Jesus called them to him and said\, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them\, and their great men exercise authority over them. It shall not be so among you; but whoever would be great among you must be your servant\, and whoever would be first among you must be your slave; even as the Son of man came not to be served but to serve\, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

SUMMARY:Forefeast of the Precious Cross
DESCRIPTION:Saints\, Feasts\, and Readings for 07/31/2026\nSaints and Feasts: Forefeast of the Precious Cross; Dionysios the Righteous Martyr of Vatopaidi; Joseph the Righteous of Arimathea; Eudocimus the Righteous of Cappadocia\nStrict Fast\nEpistle Reading: St. Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthians 14:26-40\nBRETHREN\, when you come together\, each one has a hymn\, a lesson\, a revelation\, a tongue\, or an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification. If any speak in a tongue\, let there be only two or at most three\, and each in turn; and let one interpret. But if there is no one to interpret\, let each one of them keep silence in church and speak to himself and to God. Let two or three prophets speak\, and let the others weigh what is said. If a revelation is made to another by sitting by\, let the first be silent. For you can all prophesy one by one\, so that all may learn and all be encouraged; and the spirits of prophets are subject to prophets. But God is not a God of confusion but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints\, the women should keep silence in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak\, but should be subordinate\, as even the law says. If there is anything they desire to know\, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is shameful for a woman to speak in church. What! Did the word of God originate with you\, or are you the only one it has reached? If any one thinks that he is a prophet\, or spiritual\, he should acknowledge that what I am writing to you is a command of the Lord. If any one does not recognize this\, he is not recognized. So\, my brethren\, earnestly desire to prophesy\, and do not forbid speaking in tongues; but all things should be done decently and in order.\nGospel Reading: Matthew 21:12-14; 17-20\nAt that time\, Jesus entered the temple of God and drove out all who sold and bought in the temple\, and he overturned the tables of the moneychangers and the seats of those who sold pigeons. He said to them\, “It is written\, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer’; but you make it a den of robbers.” And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple\, and he healed them. And leaving them\, he went out of the city to Bethany and lodged there.\nIn the morning\, as he was returning to the city\, he was hungry. And seeing a fig tree by the wayside he went to it\, and found nothing on it but leaves only. And he said to it\, “May no fruit ever come from you again!” And the fig tree withered at once. When the disciples saw it they marveled\, saying\, “How did the fig tree wither at once?”

SUMMARY:The Holy Seven Maccabee Children\, Solomone Their Mother\, and Eleazar Their Teacher
DESCRIPTION:Saints\, Feasts\, and Readings for 08/01/2026\nSaints and Feasts: The Holy Seven Maccabee Children\, Solomone Their Mother\, and Eleazar Their Teacher; Procession of the Precious Cross; Timothy the Wonderworker\, Archbishop of Priconissus; Elesa the Righteous-Martyr of Kythira\nFast Day (Wine and Oil Allowed)\nEpistle Reading: St. Paul’s Letter to the Hebrews 11:33-40; 12:1-2\nBrethren\, 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.\nGospel Reading: Matthew 10:16-22\nThe Lord said to his disciples\, “Behold\, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. Beware of men; for they will deliver you up to councils\, and flog you in their synagogues\, and you will be dragged before governors and kings for my sake\, to bear testimony before them and the Gentiles. When they deliver you up\, do not be anxious how you are to speak or what you are to say; for what you are to say will be given to you in that hour; for it is not you who speak\, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. Brother will deliver up brother to death\, and the father his child\, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death; and you will be hated by all for my name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved.”

SUMMARY:9th Sunday of Matthew
DESCRIPTION:Saints\, Feasts\, and Readings for 08/02/2026\nSaints and Feasts: 9th Sunday of Matthew; Translation of the Relics of Stephen the Protomartyr; Holy Glorious New Martyr Theodore of Dardanelles; Phocas the Martyr; Plegmund\, Archbishop of Canterbury\nFast Day (Wine and Oil Allowed)\nMatins Gospel Reading: John 20:19-31\nOn the evening of that day\, the first day of the week\, the doors being shut where the disciples were for fear of the Jews\, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them\, “Peace be with you.” When He had said this\, He showed them His hands and His side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again\, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent Me\, even so I send you.” And when He had said this\, He breathed on them and said to them\, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any\, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any\, they are retained.” Now Thomas\, one of the twelve\, called the Twin\, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him\, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them\, “Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails\, and place my finger in the mark of the nails\, and place my hand in His side\, I will not believe.” Eight days later\, His disciples were again in the house\, and Thomas was with them. The doors were shut\, but Jesus came and stood among them and said\, “Peace be with you.” Then He said to Thomas\, “Put your finger here\, and see My hands; and put out your hand\, and place it in My side; do not be faithless\, but believing.” Thomas answered Him\, “My Lord and My God!” Jesus said to him\, “Have you believed because you have seen Me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe.” Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples\, which are not written in this book; but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ\, the Son of God\, and that believing\, you may have life in His name.\nEpistle Reading: St. Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthians 3:9-17\nBrethren\, we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field\, God’s building. According to the grace of God given to me\, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation\, and another man is building upon it. Let each man take care how he builds upon it. For no other foundation can any one lay than that which is laid\, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any one builds on the foundation with gold\, silver\, precious stones\, wood\, hay\, straw – each man’s work will become manifest; for the Day will disclose it\, because it will be revealed with fire\, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. If the work which any man has built on the foundation survives\, he will receive a reward. If any man’s work is burned up\, he will suffer loss\, though he himself will be saved\, but only as through fire. Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you? If any one destroys God’s temple\, God will destroy him. For God’s temple is holy\, and that temple you are.\nGospel Reading: Matthew 14:22-34\nAt that time\, Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side\, while he dismissed the crowds. And after he had dismissed the crowds\, he went up into the hills by himself to pray. When evening came\, he was there alone\, but the boat by this time was many furlongs distant from the land\, beaten by the waves; for the wind was against them. And in the fourth watch of the night he came to them\, walking on the sea. But when the disciples saw him walking on the sea\, they were terrified\, saying\, “It is a ghost!” And they cried out for fear. But immediately he spoke to them\, saying “Take heart\, it is I; have no fear.”\n And Peter answered him\, “Lord\, if it is you\, bid me come to you on the water.” He said\, “Come.” So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus; but when he saw the wind\, he was afraid\, and beginning to sink he cried out\, “Lord\, save me.” Jesus immediately reached out his hand and caught him\, saying to him\, “O man of little faith\, why did you doubt?” And when they entered the boat\, the wind ceased. And those in the boat worshiped him\, saying\, “Truly you are the Son of God.” And when they had crossed over\, they came to land at Gennesaret.

SUMMARY:Isaacius\, Dalmatus\, & Faustus\, Ascetics of the Dalmation Monastery
DESCRIPTION:Saints\, Feasts\, and Readings for 08/03/2026\nSaints and Feasts: Isaacius\, Dalmatus\, & Faustus\, Ascetics of the Dalmation Monastery; Salome the Holy Myrrhbearer; Theoctistus the Wonderworker\nStrict Fast\nEpistle Reading: St. Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthians 15:12-19\nBrethren\, if Christ is preached as raised from the dead\, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there is no resurrection of the dead\, then Christ has not been raised; if Christ has not been raised\, then our preaching is in vain. We are even found to be misrepresenting God\, because we testified of God that he raised Christ\, whom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised. For if the dead are not raised\, then Christ has not been raised. If Christ has not been raised\, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. If for this life only we have hoped in Christ\, we are of all men most to be pitied.\nGospel Reading: Matthew 21:18-22\nAt that time\, as Jesus was returning to the city\, he was hungry. And seeing a fig tree by the wayside he went to it\, and found nothing on it but leaves only. And he said to it\, “May no fruit ever come from you again!” And the fig tree withered at once. When the disciples saw it they marveled\, saying\, “How did the fig tree wither at once?” And Jesus answered them\, “Truly\, I say to you\, if you have faith and never doubt\, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree\, but even if you say to this mountain\, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea\,’ it will be done. And whatever you ask in prayer\, you will receive\, if you have faith.”

SUMMARY:Seven Holy Youths of Ephesus
DESCRIPTION:Saints\, Feasts\, and Readings for 08/04/2026\nSaints and Feasts: Seven Holy Youths of Ephesus\nStrict Fast\nEpistle Reading: St. Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthians 15:29-38\nBrethren\, what do people mean by being baptized on behalf of the dead? If the dead are not raised at all\, why are people baptized on their behalf? Why am I in peril every hour? I protest\, brethren\, by my pride in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord\, I die every day! What do I gain if\, humanly speaking\, I fought with beasts at Ephesos? If the dead are not raised\, “Let us eat and drink\, for tomorrow we die.” Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good morals.” Come to your right mind\, and sin no more. For some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame. But some one will ask\, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body do they come?” You foolish man! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies. And what you sow is not the body which is to be\, but a bare kernel\, perhaps of wheat or some other grain. But God gives it a body as he has chosen\, and to each kind of seed its own body.\nGospel Reading: Matthew 21:23-27\nAt that time\, when Jesus entered the temple\, the chief priests and the elders of the people came up to him as he was teaching\, and said\, “By what authority are you doing these things\, and who gave you this authority?” Jesus answered them\, “I also will ask you a question; and if you tell me the answer\, then I also will tell you by what authority I do these things. The baptism of John\, whence was it? From heaven or from men?” And they argued with one another\, “If we say\, ‘From heaven\,’ he will say to us\, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’ But if we say\, ‘From men\,’ we are afraid of the multitude; for all hold that John was a prophet.” So they answered Jesus\, “We do not know.” And he said to them\, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”

SUMMARY:Forefeast of the Transfiguration of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
DESCRIPTION:Saints\, Feasts\, and Readings for 08/05/2026\nSaints and Feasts: Forefeast of the Transfiguration of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ; Eusignius the Martyr of Antioch; Our Righteous Father Eugene of Aitola; Euthymios\, Patriarch of Constantinople; Christos the New Martyr of Prevezis; Oswald the Martyr\, King of Northumbria\nStrict Fast\nEpistle Reading: St. Peter’s First Universal Letter 1:1-25; 2:1-10\nPeter\, an apostle of Jesus Christ\, to the exiles of the Dispersion in Pontos\, Galatia\, Cappadocia\, Asia\, and Bithynia\, chosen and destined by God the Father and sanctified by the Spirit for obedience to Jesus Christ and for sprinkling with his blood:\nMay grace and peace be multiplied to you. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By his great mercy we have been born anew to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead\, and to an inheritance which is imperishable\, undefiled\, and unfading\, kept in heaven for you\, who by God’s power are guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you rejoice\, though now for a little while you may have to suffer various trials\, so that the genuineness of your faith\, more precious than gold which though perishable is tested by fire\, may redound to praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. Without having known him you love him; though you do not now see him you believe in him and rejoice with unutterable and exalted joy. As the outcome of your faith you obtain the salvation of your souls.\nThe prophets who prophesied of the grace that was to be yours searched and inquired about this salvation; they inquired what person or time was indicated by the Spirit of Christ within them when predicting the sufferings of Christ and the subsequent glory. It was revealed to them that they were serving not themselves but you\, in the things which have now been announced to you by those who preached the good news to you through the Holy Spirit sent from heaven\, things into which angels long to look.\nTherefore gird up your minds\, be sober\, set your hope fully upon the grace that is coming to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. As obedient children\, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance\, but as he who called you is holy\, be holy yourselves in all your conduct; since it is written\, “You shall be holy\, for I am holy.” And if you invoke as Father him who judges each one impartially according to his deeds\, conduct yourselves with fear throughout the time of your exile. You know that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your fathers\, not with perishable things such as silver or gold\, but with the precious blood of Christ\, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot. He was destined before the foundation of the world but was made manifest at the end of the times for your sake. Through him you have confidence in God\, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory\, so that your faith and hope are in God.\nHaving purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for a sincere love of the brethren\, love one another earnestly from the heart. You have been born anew\, not of perishable seed but of imperishable\, through the living and abiding word of God; for “All flesh is like grass and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers\, and the flower falls\, but the word of the Lord abides for ever.” That word is the good news which was preached to you.\nSo put away all malice and all guile and insincerity and envy and all slander. Like newborn babes\, long for the pure spiritual milk\, that by it you may grow up to salvation; for you have tasted the kindness of the Lord.\nCome to him\, to that living stone\, rejected by men but in God’s sight chosen and precious; and like living stones be yourselves built into a spiritual house\, to be a holy priesthood\, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. For it stands in scripture: “Behold\, I am laying in Zion a stone\, a cornerstone chosen and precious\, and he who believes in him will not be put to shame.” To you therefore who believe\, he is precious\, but for those who do not believe\, “The very stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner\,” and “A stone that will make men stumble\, a rock that will make them fall”; for they stumble because they disobey the word\, as they were destined to do. But you are a chosen race\, a royal priesthood\, a holy nation\, God’s own people\, that you may declare the wonderful deeds of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Once you were no people but now you are God’s people; once you had not received mercy but now you have received mercy.\nGospel Reading: Matthew 21:28-32\nThe Lord said this parable\, “A man had two sons; and he went to the first and said\, ‘Son\, go and work in the vineyard today.’ And he answered\, ‘I will not’; but afterward he repented and went. And he went to the second and said the same; and he answered\, ‘I go\, sir\,’ but did not go. Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said\, “The first.” Jesus said to them\, “Truly\, I say to you\, the tax collectors and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you. For John came to you in the way of righteousness\, and you did not believe him\, but the tax collectors and the harlots believed him and even when you saw it\, you did not afterward repent and believe him.”

SUMMARY:Transfiguration of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
DESCRIPTION:Saints\, Feasts\, and Readings for 08/06/2026\nSaints and Feasts: Transfiguration of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ\nFast Day (Fish Allowed)\nMatins Gospel Reading: Luke 9:28-36\nAt that time\, Jesus took with him Peter and John and James\, and went up on the mountain to pray. And as he was praying\, the appearance of his countenance was altered\, and his raiment became dazzling white. And behold\, two men talked with him\, Moses and Elijah\, who appeared in glory and spoke of his departure\, which he was to accomplish at Jerusalem. Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep\, and when they wakened they saw his glory and the two men who stood with him. And as the men were parting from him\, Peter said to Jesus\, “Master\, it is well that we are here; let us make three booths\, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah” – not knowing what he said. As he said this\, a cloud came and overshadowed them; and they were afraid as they entered the cloud. And a voice came out of the cloud\, saying\, “This is my Son\, my Beloved; listen to him!” And when the voice had spoken\, Jesus was found alone. And they kept silence and told no one in those days anything of what they had seen.\nEpistle Reading: St. Peter’s Second Universal Letter 1:10-19\nBRETHREN\, be more zealous to confirm your call and election\, for if you do this you will never fall; so there will be richly provided for you an entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.\nTherefore I intend always to remind you of these things\, though you know them and are established in the truth that you have. I think it right\, as long as I am in this body\, to arouse you by way of reminder\, since I know that the putting off of my body will be soon\, as our Lord Jesus Christ showed me. And I will see to it that after my departure you may be able at any time to recall these things.\nFor we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ\, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. For when he received honor and glory from God the Father and the voice was borne to him by the Majestic Glory\, “This is my beloved Son\, with whom I am well pleased\,” we heard this voice borne from heaven\, for we were with him on the holy mountain. And we have the prophetic word made more sure. You will do well to pay attention to this as to a lamp shining in a dark place\, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.\nGospel Reading: Matthew 17:1-9\nAt that time\, Jesus took with him Peter and James and John his brother\, and led them up a high mountain apart. And he was transfigured before them\, and his face shone like the sun\, and his garments became white as light. And behold\, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah\, talking with him. And Peter said to Jesus\, “Lord\, it is well that we are here; if you wish\, I will make three booths here\, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah.” He was still speaking\, when lo\, a bright cloud overshadowed them\, and a voice from the cloud said\, “This is my beloved Son\, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him.” When the disciples heard this\, they fell on their faces\, and were filled with awe. But Jesus came and touched them\, saying\, “Rise\, and have no fear.” And when they lifted up their eyes\, they saw no one but Jesus only. And as they were coming down the mountain\, Jesus commanded them\, “Tell no one the vision\, until the Son of man is raised from the dead.”

SUMMARY:Afterfeast of the Transfiguration of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
DESCRIPTION:Saints\, Feasts\, and Readings for 08/07/2026\nSaints and Feasts: Afterfeast of the Transfiguration of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ; Sixtus of Athens\, Bishop of Rome; The Holy Righteous Martyr Dometius; Our Holy Father Nicanorus the Wonderworker; Theodosius the New; Joseph Gerontogiannis of Lithines Sitia; Sozon of Nicomedea; The Holy Ten Thousand Ascetics of Thebes; Narcissus the Hieromartyr of Jerusalem\nStrict Fast\nEpistle Reading: St. Paul’s Second Letter to the Corinthians 1:12-20\nBrethren\, our boast is this\, the testimony of our conscience that we have behaved in the world\, and still more toward you\, with holiness and godly sincerity\, not by earthly wisdom but by the grace of God. For we write you nothing but what you can read and understand; I hope you will understand fully\, as you have understood in part\, that you can be proud of us as we can be of you\, on the day of the Lord Jesus.\nBecause I was sure of this\, I wanted to come to you first\, so that you might have a double favor; I wanted to visit you on my way to Macedonia\, and to come back to you from Macedonia and have you send me on my way to Judea. Was I vacillating when I wanted to do this? Do I make my plans like a worldly man\, ready to say Yes and No at once? For the Son of God\, Jesus Christ\, whom we preached among you\, Silvanus and Timothy and I\, was not Yes and No; but in him it is always Yes. For all the promises of God find their Yes in him. That is why we utter the Amen through him\, to the glory of God.\nGospel Reading: Mark 9:2-9\nAt that time\, Jesus took with him Peter and James and John\, and led them up a high mountain apart by themselves; and he was transfigured before them\, and his garments became glistening\, intensely white\, as no fuller on earth could bleach them. And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses; and they were talking to Jesus. And Peter said to Jesus\, “Master\, it is well that we are here; let us make three booths\, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah.” For he did not know what to say\, for they were exceedingly afraid. And a cloud overshadowed them\, and a voice came out of the cloud\, “This is my beloved son; listen to him.” And suddenly\, looking around they no longer saw any one with them but Jesus only. And as they were coming down the mountain he charged them to tell no one what they had seen\, until the Son of man should have risen from the dead.

The God of peace be with you all. Amen.\nGospel Reading: Matthew 17:24-27; 18:1-4\nAt that time\, the collectors of the half-shekel tax went up to Peter and said\, “Does not your teacher pay the tax?” He said\, “Yes.” And when he came home\, Jesus spoke to him first\, saying\, “What do you think\, Simon? From whom do kings of the earth take toll or tribute? From their sons or from others?” And when he said\, “From others\,” Jesus said to him\, “Then the sons are free. However\, not to give offense to them\, go to the sea and cast a hook\, and take the first fish that comes up\, and when you open its mouth you will find a shekel; take that and give it to them for me and for yourself.”\n  At that time the disciples came to Jesus\, saying\, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” And calling to him a child\, he put him in the midst of them\, and said\, “Truly\, I say to you\, unless you turn and become like children\, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child\, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.”

SUMMARY:10th Sunday of Matthew
DESCRIPTION:Saints\, Feasts\, and Readings for 08/09/2026\nSaints and Feasts: 10th Sunday of Matthew; The Holy Apostle Matthias  ; Constantine\, Patriarch of Constantinople; Euthymios the Hieromartyr\, Metropolitan of Rhodes; Afterfeast of the Transfiguration of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ; Anthony the Martyr of Alexandria\nFast Day (Wine and Oil Allowed)\nMatins Gospel Reading: John 21:1-14\nAt that time\, Jesus revealed Himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Tiberias; and He revealed Himself in this way. Simon Peter\, Thomas\, called the Twin\, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee\, the sons of Zebedee\, and two others of His disciples were together. Simon Peter said to them\, “I am going fishing.” They said to him\, “We will go with you.” They went out and got into the boat\, but that night they caught nothing. Just as day was breaking\, Jesus stood on the beach\, yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to them\, “Children\, have you any fish?” They answered him\, “No.” He said to them\, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat\, and you will find some.” So they cast it\, and now they were not able to haul it in\, for the quantity of fish. That disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter\, “It is the Lord!” When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord\, he put on his clothes\, for he was stripped for work\, and sprang into the sea. But the other disciples came in the boat\, dragging the net full of fish\, for they were not far from the land\, but about a hundred yards off. When they got out on land\, they saw a charcoal fire there with fish lying on it\, and bread. Jesus said to them\, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught.” So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore\, full of large fish\, a hundred and fifty-three of them; and although there were so many\, the net was not torn. Jesus said to them\, “Come and have breakfast.” Now none of the disciples dared ask Him\, “Who are you?” They knew it was the Lord. Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them\, and so with the fish. This was now the third time that Jesus was revealed to the disciples after He was raised from the dead..\nEpistle Reading: St. Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthians 4:9-16\nBrethren\, God has exhibited us apostles as last of all\, like men sentenced to death; because we have become a spectacle to the world\, to angels and to men. We are fools for Christ’s sake\, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak\, but you are strong. You are held in honor\, but we in disrepute. To the present hour we hunger and thirst\, we are ill-clad and buffeted and homeless\, and we labor\, working with our own hands. When reviled\, we bless; when persecuted\, we endure; when slandered\, we try to conciliate; we have become\, and are now\, as the refuse of the world\, the off-scouring of all things. I do not write this to make you ashamed\, but to admonish you as my beloved children. For though you have countless guides in Christ\, you do not have many fathers. For I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel. I urge you\, then\, be imitators of me.\nGospel Reading: Matthew 17:14-23\nAt that time\, a man came up to Jesus and kneeling before him said\, “Lord\, have mercy on my son\, for he is an epileptic and he suffers terribly; for often he falls into the fire\, and often into the water.  And I brought him to your disciples\, and they could not heal him.”  And Jesus answered\, “O faithless and perverse generation\, how long am I to be with you?  How long am I to bear with you?  Bring him here to me.”  And Jesus rebuked him\, and the demon came out of him\, and the boy was cured instantly.  Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said\, “Why could we not cast it out?”  He said to them\, “Because of your little faith.  For truly I say to you\, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed\, you will say to this mountain\, ‘Move hence to yonder place\,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.  But this kind never comes out except by prayer and fasting.”  As they were gathering in Galilee\, Jesus said to them\,  “The Son of man is to be delivered into the hands of men\, and they will kill him\, and he will be raised on the third day.”

SUMMARY:Laurence the Holy Martyr & Archdeacon of Rome
DESCRIPTION:Saints\, Feasts\, and Readings for 08/10/2026\nSaints and Feasts: Laurence the Holy Martyr & Archdeacon of Rome; Hippolytus the Martyr of Rome; Afterfeast of the Transfiguration of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ\nStrict Fast\nEpistle Reading: St. Paul’s Second Letter to the Corinthians 2:3-15\nBrethren\, my joy is the joy of you all. For I wrote you out of much affliction and anguish of heart and with many tears\, not to cause you pain but to let you know the abundant love that I have for you.\nBut if any one has caused pain\, he has caused it not to me\, but in some measure – not to put it too severely – to you all. For such a one this punishment by the majority is enough; so you should rather turn to forgive and comfort him\, for he may be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow. So I beg you to reaffirm your love for him. For this is why I wrote\, that I might test you and know whether you are obedient in everything. Any one whom you forgive\, I also forgive. What I have forgiven\, if I have forgiven anything\, has been for your sake in the presence of Christ\, to keep Satan from gaining the advantage over us; for we are not ignorant of his designs.\nWhen I came to Troas to preach the gospel of Christ\, a door was opened for me in the Lord; but my mind could not rest because I did not find my brother Titus there. So I took leave of them and went on to Macedonia.\nBut thanks be to God\, who in Christ always leads us in triumph\, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere. For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing.\nGospel Reading: Matthew 23:13-22\nThe Lord said to the Jews who had come to him\, “Woe to you\, scribes and Pharisees\, hypocrites! for you devour widows’ houses and for a pretense you make long prayers; therefore you will receive the greater condemnation. But woe to you\, scribes and Pharisees\, hypocrites! because you shut the kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither enter yourselves\, nor allow those who would enter to go in. Woe to you\, scribes and Pharisees\, hypocrites! for you traverse sea and land to make a single proselyte\, and when he becomes a proselyte\, you make him twice as much a child of hell as yourselves. Woe to you\, blind guides\, who say\, ‘If any one swears by the temple\, it is nothing; but if any one swears by the gold of the temple\, he is bound by his oath.’ You blind fools! For which is greater\, the gold or the temple that has made the gold sacred? And you say\, ‘If any one swears by the altar\, it is nothing; but if any one swears by the gift that is on the altar\, he is bound by his oath.’ You blind men! For which is greater\, the gift or the altar that makes the gift sacred? So he who swears by the altar\, swears by it and by everything on it; and he who swears by the temple\, swears by it and by him who dwells in it; and he who swears by heaven\, swears by the throne of God and by him who sits upon it.”

For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing\, to one a fragrance from death to death\, to the other a fragrance from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things? For we are not\, like so many\, peddlers of God’s word; but as men of sincerity\, as commissioned by God\, in the sight of God we speak in Christ.\nAre we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need\, as some do\, letters of recommendation\, to you\, or from you? You yourselves are our letter of recommendation\, written on our hearts\, to be known and read by all men; and you show that you are a letter from Christ delivered by us\, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God\, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.\nGospel Reading: Matthew 23:23-28\nThe Lord said to the Jews who had come to him\, “Woe to you\, scribes and Pharisees\, hypocrites! for you tithe mint and dill and cumin\, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law\, justice and mercy and faith; these you ought to have done\, without neglecting the others. You blind guides\, straining out a gnat and swallowing a camel!\n“Woe to you\, scribes and Pharisees\, hypocrites! for you cleanse the outside of the cup and of the plate\, but inside they are full of extortion and rapacity. You blind Pharisee! first cleanse the inside of the cup and of the plate\, that the outside also may be clean.\n“Woe to you\, scribes and Pharisees\, hypocrites! for you are like whitewashed tombs\, which outwardly appear beautiful\, but within they are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness. So you also outwardly appear righteous to men\, but within you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.”

SUMMARY:The Holy Martyrs Photius and Anicetus of Nicomedia
DESCRIPTION:Saints\, Feasts\, and Readings for 08/12/2026\nSaints and Feasts: The Holy Martyrs Photius and Anicetus of Nicomedia; Sergios\, Stephen and Kastor; Palamon\, Elder of Saint Pachomius the Great; Soldier-martyrs of Crete; Afterfeast of the Transfiguration of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ\nStrict Fast\nEpistle Reading: St. Paul’s Second Letter to the Corinthians 3:4-11\nBrethren\, such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God. Not that we are competent of ourselves to claim anything as coming from us; our competence is from God\, who has made us competent to be ministers of a new covenant\, not in a written code but in the Spirit; for the written code kills\, but the Spirit gives life.\nNow if the dispensation of death\, carved in letters on stone\, came with such splendor that the Israelites could not look at Moses’ face because of its brightness\, fading as this was\, will not the dispensation of the Spirit be attended with greater splendor? For if there was splendor in the dispensation of condemnation\, the dispensation of righteousness must far exceed it in splendor. Indeed\, in this case\, what once had splendor has come to have no splendor at all\, because of the splendor that surpasses it. For if what faded away came with splendor\, what is permanent must have much more splendor.\nGospel Reading: Matthew 23:29-39\nThe Lord said to the Jews who had come to him\, “Woe to you\, scribes and Pharisees\, hypocrites! for you build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the righteous\, saying\, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers\, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’ Thus you witness against yourselves\, that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets. Fill up\, then\, the measure of your fathers. You serpents\, you brood of vipers\, how are you to escape being sentenced to hell? Therefore I send you prophets and wise men and scribes\, some of whom you will kill and crucify\, and some you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from town to town\, that upon you may come all the righteous blood shed on earth\, from the blood of innocent Abel to the blood of Zacharias the son of Barachiah\, whom you murdered between the sanctuary and the altar. Truly\, I say to you\, all this will come upon this generation.\nO Jerusalem\, Jerusalem\, killing the prophets and stoning those who are sent to you! How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings\, and you would not! Behold\, your house is forsaken and desolate. For I tell you\, you will not see me again\, until you say\, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'”

SUMMARY:Apodosis of the Transfiguration
DESCRIPTION:Saints\, Feasts\, and Readings for 08/13/2026\nSaints and Feasts: Apodosis of the Transfiguration; Maximus the Confessor; Our Righteous Fathers Sergius\, Stephanus\, Castor and Palamonus; Dorotheus\, Abba of Gaza; Tikhon of Zadonsk\nStrict Fast\nEpistle Reading: St. Paul’s Second Letter to the Corinthians 4:1-12\nBrethren\, having this ministry as we have received mercy\, we do not lose heart. We have renounced disgraceful\, underhanded ways; we refuse to practice cunning or to tamper with God’s word\, but by the open statement of truth we would commend ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. And even if our gospel is veiled\, it is veiled only to those who are perishing. In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers\, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ\, who is the likeness of God. For what we preach is not ourselves\, but Jesus Christ as Lord\, with ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake. For it is the God who said\, “Let light shine out of darkness\,” who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.\nBut we have this treasure in earthen vessels\, to show that the transcendent power belongs to God and not to us. We are afflicted in every way\, but not crushed; perplexed\, but not driven to despair; persecuted\, but not forsaken; struck down\, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of Jesus\, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. For while we live we are always being given up to death for Jesus’ sake\, so that the life of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh. So death is at work in us\, but life in you.\nGospel Reading: Matthew 24:13-28\nThe Lord said to his disciples\, “He who endures to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world\, as a testimony to all nations; and then the end will come.\n“So when you see the desolating sacrilege spoken of by the prophet Daniel\, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand)\, then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains; let him who is on the housetop not go down to take what is in his house; and let him who is in the field not turn back to take his mantle. And alas for those who are with child and for those who give suck in those days! Pray that your flight may not be in winter or on a sabbath. For then there will be great tribulation\, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now\, no\, and never will be. And if those days had not been shortened\, no human being would be saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened. Then if any one says to you\, ‘Lo\, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. For false Christs and false prophets will arise and show great signs and wonders\, so as to lead astray\, if possible\, even the elect. Lo\, I have told you beforehand. So\, if they say to you\, ‘Lo\, he is in the wilderness\,’ do not go out; if they say\, ‘Lo\, he is in the inner rooms\,’ do not believe it. For as the lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the west\, so will be the coming of the Son of man. Wherever the body is\, there the eagles will be gathered together.”

SUMMARY:Forefeast of the Dormition of our Most Holy Lady the Theotokos and Ever Virgin Mary
DESCRIPTION:Saints\, Feasts\, and Readings for 08/14/2026\nSaints and Feasts: Forefeast of the Dormition of our Most Holy Lady the Theotokos and Ever Virgin Mary; The Holy  Prophet Michaias (Micah); Holy Hieromartyr Marcellus\, Bishop of Apameia; Holy New Martyr Symeon of Trapezoundos (1653)\nStrict Fast\nEpistle Reading: St. Paul’s Second Letter to the Corinthians 4:13-18\nBrethren\, since we have the same spirit of faith as he had who wrote\, “I believed\, and so I spoke\,” we too believe\, and so we speak\, knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and bring us with you into his presence. For it is all for your sake\, so that as grace extends to more and more people it may increase thanksgiving\, to the glory of God.\nSo we do not lose heart. Though our outer nature is wasting away\, our inner nature is being renewed every day. For this slight momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison\, because we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen; for the things that are seen are transient\, but the things that are unseen are eternal.\nGospel Reading: Matthew 24:27-33\, 42-51\nThe Lord said to his disciples\, “As the lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the west\, so will be the coming of the Son of man. Wherever the body is\, there the eagles will be gathered together.\n“Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened\, and the moon will not give its light\, and the stars will fall from heaven\, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken; then will appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven\, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn\, and they will see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory; and he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call\, and they will gather his elect from the four winds\, from one end of heaven to the other.\n“From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts forth its leaves\, you know that summer is near. So also\, when you see all these things\, you know that he is near\, at the very gates.\n“Watch therefore\, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. But know this\, that if the householder had known in what part of the night the thief was coming\, he would have watched and would not have let his house be broken into. Therefore you also must be ready; for the Son of man is coming at an hour you do not expect.\n“Who then is the faithful and wise servant\, whom his master has set over his household\, to give them their food at the proper time? Blessed is that servant whom his master when he comes will find so doing. Truly\, I say to you\, he will set him over all his possessions. But if that wicked servant says to himself\, ‘My master is delayed\,’ and begins to beat his fellow servants\, and eats and drinks with the drunken\, the master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know\, and will punish him\, and put him with the hypocrites; there men will weep and gnash their teeth.”

SUMMARY:The Dormition of our Most Holy Lady the Theotokos and Ever Virgin Mary
DESCRIPTION:Saints\, Feasts\, and Readings for 08/15/2026\nSaints and Feasts: The Dormition of our Most Holy Lady the Theotokos and Ever Virgin Mary\nMatins Gospel Reading: Luke 1:39-49\, 56\nIn those days\, Mary arose and went with haste into the hill country\, to a city of Judah\, and she entered the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth. And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary\, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit and she exclaimed with a loud cry\, “Blessed are you among women\, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! And why is this granted me\, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For behold\, when the voice of your greeting came to my ears\, the babe in my womb leaped for joy. And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord.”\n  And Mary said\, “My soul magnifies the Lord\, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior\, for he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden. For behold\, henceforth all generations will call me blessed; for he who is mighty has done great things for me\, and holy is his name.” And Mary remained with her about three months\, and returned to her home.\nEpistle Reading: St. Paul’s Letter to the Philippians 2:5-11\nBrethren\, have this mind among yourselves\, which is yours in Christ Jesus\, who\, though he was in the form of God\, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped\, but emptied himself\, taking the form of a servant\, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form he humbled himself and became obedient unto death\, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name which is above every name\, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow\, in heaven and on earth and under the earth\, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord\, to the glory of God the Father.\nGospel Reading: Luke 10:38-42\, 11:27-28\nAt that time\, Jesus entered a village; and a woman called Martha received him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary\, who sat at the Lord’s feet and listened to his teaching. But Martha was distracted with much serving; and she went to him and said\, “Lord\, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve you alone? Tell her then to help me.” But the Lord answered her\, “Martha\, Martha\, you are anxious and troubled about many things; one thing is needful. Mary has chosen the good portion\, which shall not be taken away from her.” As he said this\, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to him\, “Blessed is the womb that bore you\, and the breasts that you sucked!” But he said\, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!”
