THE FIRST ANTIPHON

The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament proclaimeth the

work of His hands. Day unto day poureth forth speech, and night unto night

proclaimeth knowledge.

Refrain: Through the intercessions of the Theotokos, O Savior, save us.

There are neither tongues nor words in which their voices are not heard.

Their sound hath gone forth into all the earth, and their words unto the ends

of the world. (Refrain)

Glory… Both now… (Refrain)

THE SECOND ANTIPHON

The Lord hear thee in the day of affliction; the Name of the God of Jacob

defend thee. Let Him send forth unto thee help from His sanctuary, and out

of Zion let Him help thee.

Refrain: Save us, O Good Comforter, who sing to Thee. Alleluia.

Let Him remember every sacrifice of thine, and thy whole-burnt offering let

Him fatten. (Refrain)

The Lord grant thee according to thy heart, and fulfill all thy purposes.

(Refrain)

Glory… Both now… O, only begotten Son and Word of God…

THE THIRD ANTIPHON

O Lord, in Thy strength the king shall be glad, and in Thy salvation shall he

rejoice exceedingly. The desire of his heart hast Thou granted unto him, and

hast not denied him the request of his lips. Thou wentest before him with

blessings of goodness, Thou hast set upon his head a crown of precious

stones. He asked life of Thee, and Thou gavest him length of days unto ages

of ages. (Now sing the Apolytikion of Pentecost.)

THE EISODIKON (ENTRANCE HYMN) OF THE FEAST

Be Thou exalted, O Lord, in Thy strength; we shall praise and sing of Thy

mighty acts. Save us, O Good Comforter, who sing to Thee. Alleluia.

Now sing these apolytikia in the following order.

THE EPISTLE

Their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the

world. The heavens declare the glory of God.

The reading from the Acts of the Apostles

Acts 2:1-11

When the Day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one

place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, like the rush of a violent

wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. Then there

appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and a tongue rested on each of

them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with

other tongues, as the Spirit gave them ability. And there were living in

Jerusalem devout Jews, from every nation under heaven. And when this sound

occurred, the crowd came together, and were confused, because everyone

heard them speak in the native language of each. Then they were all amazed

and marveled, saying to one another, "Are not those who are speaking

Galileans? And how is it that we hear, each of us, in our own native language?

Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and

Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of

Libya belonging to Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,

Cretans and Arabs; we hear them speaking in our own languages God's deeds

of power."

GOSPEL HOLYTHE

The Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Saint John.

(John 7:37-52; 8:12)

On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and

proclaimed, "If any one thirst, let him come to me and drink. He who believes

in Me, as the scripture has said, ‘Out of his belly shall flow rivers of living

water.' “Now this he said about the Spirit, which those who believed in him

were to receive; for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not

yet glorified. When they heard these words, many of the people said, "This is

really the prophet." Others said, "This is the Christ." But some said, "Is the

Christ to come from Galilee? Has not the scripture said that the Christ is

descended from David, and comes from Bethlehem, the village where David

was?" So there was a division among the people over Him. Some of them

wanted to arrest Him, but no one laid hands on Him. The officers then went

back to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, "Why did you not

bring Him?" The officers answered, "No man ever spoke like this man!" The

Pharisees answered them, "Are you led astray, you also? Have any of the

authorities or of the Pharisees believed in Him? But this crowd, who do not

know the law, are accursed". Nicodemus, who had gone to Him before, and

who was one of them, said to them, "Does our law judge a man without first

giving him hearing and learning what he does?" They replied, "Are you from

Galilee too? Search and you will see that no prophet is to rise from Galilee."

Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world; he who

follows Me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

THE KNEELING PRAYERS

DEACON: Again and again, on bent knees, let us pray to the Lord.

PEOPLE: Lord, have mercy.

THE FIRST PRAYER

PRIEST: O Most merciful Lord and lover of mankind, hear us when we call

upon You, and especially on this day of Pentecost, on which, after our Lord

Jesus Christ had ascended into the heaven, and had sat down at the Your

right hand, the God and Father, he sent down the Holy Spirit upon his holy

disciples and apostles, which also sat upon each of them. They were filled

with his grace, and they spoke with different languages of Your majesty, and

they prophesied. Blessed are You, O Lord, Master Almighty, for You have

lightened the day with the light of the sun and have illuminated the night

with flashes of fire, and have made us worthy to pass through the length of

the day and to approach the beginning of the night. Hear our prayer and that

of all Your people. Pardon us all our sins, receive our evening supplications;

and send down Your great mercy and compassions upon Your inheritance.

Fortify us with Your holy angels. Arm us with the armor of Your

righteousness. Strengthen us with Your truth. Guard us with Your power.

Deliver us from every adverse circumstance and every plot of the adversary.

Grant us also that all the days of our life may be perfect, holy, peaceful,

sinless, harmless and without fantasy, through the intercessions of the holy

Theotokos and of all the saints, who have pleased You throughout the ages.

THE SECOND PRAYER

DEACON: Again and again, on bent knees, let us pray to the Lord.

PEOPLE: Lord, have mercy.

PRIEST: O Lord Jesus Christ our God, You granted Your peace to all men.

And while You were still on earth, You granted the gift of the all-holy Spirit

to the faithful, as an inheritance that shall never be taken away from them.

Today, You send down in a more visible manner this grace upon Your holy

disciples and apostles, and you place tongues of fire in their mouths, and

upon their lips. Through them every human race has received, through the

hearing of the ear, the knowledge of God in our own languages. We have

been enlightened by the light of the Spirit, and we have been set free from

delusion as from darkness, and through the distribution of the sensible

tongues of fire and their wondrous operation, we have learned the faith that

is in You, and we have been illumined, so as to praise You with the Father

and the Holy Spirit, in one Godhead and Power and Authority. Wherefore,

on this day of the descent of the Holy Spirit, I, the sinner, implore Your

goodness: Grant me whatever I have asked for salvation. Yes, O Lord, the

good and abundant Giver of every benefit, for You grant most abundantly

that which we ask. You became without sin the compassionate, merciful

partaker of our flesh and to those that bend their knees before You

graciously bend down and become the propitiation of our sins. Sanctify them

by the power of Your saving right hand. Shelter them with the shelter of

Your wings. Do not forsake the works of Your hands. Receive the prayer of

all as an acceptable incense, rising before Your most-good kingdom, by the

good will and goodness of Thine only begotten Son, with whom Thou art

blessed, together with Thy good and most Holy and life-giving Spirit, now

and always, and unto ages of ages.

People: Amen.

THE THIRD PRAYER

DEACON: Again and again, on bent knees, let us pray to the Lord.

PEOPLE: Lord, have mercy.

PRIEST: O Christ our God, ever-flowing Fountain of life and light, creative

Power, co-eternal with the Father; You have most excellently fulfilled the

whole divine plan of the salvation of mortals, You broke the indestructible

bonds of death and the bolts of Hades, and have trampled down the great

number of evil spirits; You offered Yourself as a blameless sacrifice, and,

through that awesome and inexpressible act of sacrifice, you granted us

eternal life; You went down into Hades and broke down its eternal bars,

showing forth the way up to those who sat in the lower world. You

manifested yourself a great Helper to the oppressed, and enlightened those

that sat in darkness and in the shadow of death; You are the Lord of

everlasting glory, the beloved Son of the Father most high, eternal Light of

eternal light, Sun of righteousness: Hear us who pray to You, and give rest to

the souls of your servants, our fathers and brethren, who before us have slept

the sleep of death, and our other relatives after the flesh, and Your own

believers who live in faith, whose commemoration we celebrate today. For

in You is the power over all, and in Your hand You hold all the ends of the

earth. O great and most high God, You alone are immortal and You dwell in

an unapproachable light, in wisdom You have made all creation. You have

separated the light from the darkness and have made the sun to rule the day,

the moon and stars also to rule the night. You have made us sinners worthy

at this present hour also to come before Your presence, to give thanks to you,

and to offer to You our evening praise:

O Lord, lover of mankind, direct our prayer as incense before You, and

accept it as an "odor of sweet fragrance", and grant that we may pass the

present evening and the coming night in peace. Endue us with the "armor of

light". Deliver us from the terror of the night and from every terror by

darkness, and grant that the sleep which You have appointed for the repose

of our weakness may be free from every imagination of the devil. Yes, O

Master, Bestower of all good things, may we the repentant upon our beds,

remember Your name in the night, that, enlightened by meditation on Your

commandments, we may rise up in joyfulness of soul to glorify Your

goodness, and to offer prayers and supplications to Your tender love, for our

sins and for those of all Your people, for whom You care in mercy, through

the intercessions of the holy Theotokos.

THE DISMISSAL

PRIEST: May CHRIST our true God, as good and lover of mankind, have

mercy on us and save us for the sake of Your goodness. For You emptied

yourself from the Father's bosom, assuming our human nature wholly and

making it divine, and ascended at once into the Heaven and enthroned at the

right hand of God the Father, then sent down the divine, holy, consubstantial,

and co-eternal Spirit, equal in might and glory, upon Your holy Disciples

and Apostles, and through Him, illumined them, and through them, the

whole world, by the intercessions of His most pure and all-blameless holy

Mother, of the holy, glorious, Spirit-bearing Apostles, and of all the Saints.

Amen.

GENERAL PARISH MEETING JUNE 4, 2017 The Parish Council has scheduled a General Parish meeting for June 4th

following Sunday Divine Liturgy. The meeting will take place following

coffee hour. A light lunch will be provided by the Parish Council. It is very

important that each family be represented at this meeting.

The purpose of the meeting is to discuss and approve the County Conditional

Use permit conditions and to present and approve the program for the

Church Hall/School Construction.

It is important to have consensus and agreement within our community on

the proposed Fellowship hall and Church school. As most of you know some

of our neighbors have opposed this project in the past. We believe that this

compromise is an opportunity to reach an agreement with them on the

proposal and avoid costly delays going forward.

We look forward to see all of you on Sunday June 4th.

HOLY FIRE AT CHURCH OF THE REDEEMER

JUNE 11, 2017 The Holy Fire will be brought to our church on June 11 by Simeon Kwon,

2017 at JFK Airport. It was then transported to St. Seraphim Memorial

Church NY and Synodal Cathedral of Our Lady "of the Sign" on the same

day, and was greeted by His Eminence Metropolitan Hilarion.

From there, it was taken to several ROCOR monasteries and parishes across

the East Coast, one of which was Holy Epiphany Russian Orthodox Church

in Boston MA. Then on April 20th, Father Patrick and several parishioners

of Holy Resurrection Orthodox Church of Allston MA was able to obtain the

Holy Fire from Holy Epiphany. On May 23, the group will be driving from

Holy Resurrection to California with the Holy Fire, and by God's will, be

brought to Church of the Redeemer for Sunday Liturgy on June 11.
