Troparion of the Resurrection (Tone Six)
When Mary stood at Thy grave, looking for Thy sacred body, angelic powers
shone above Thy revered tomb; and the soldiers who were to keep guard became
as dead men. Thou led Hades captive and wast not tempted thereby. Thou didst
meet the Virgin and didst give life to the world, O Thou, Who art risen from the
dead, O Lord, glory to Thee.

Make ready, O Zebulun; prepare yourself, O Naphthali; cease to flow, O River

the first mother. Do not hide in paradise, as before, for He came to see us, even
naked, that He might clothe us as we were before. Christ has appeared to renew
all creation.

Epistle for the Sunday before the Feast of Epiphany (Theophany)
O Lord, save your people and bless your inheritance!
To you, O Lord, have I cried, O my God!
The Reading is from the Second Epistle of St. Paul to Timothy (4:5-8)
Timothy, my son, always be steady, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfil your ministry. For I am already on the point of being sacrificed; the time
of my departure has come. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I
have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness,
which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that Day, and not only to
me but also to all who have loved his appearing.

Gospel for the Sunday before the Feast of Epiphany (Theophany)
The Reading is from the Holy Gospel according to St. Mark (1:1-8)
The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. As it is written in
the prophets, “Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare
thy way; the voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the
Lord, make his paths straight.” John the Baptizer appeared in the wilderness,
preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. And there went
out to him all the country of Judea, and all the people of Jerusalem; and they
were baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. Now John was
clothed with camel’s hair, and had a leather girdle around his waist, and ate locusts and wild honey. And he preached, saying, “After me comes he who is
mightier than I, the thong of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and
untie. I have baptized you with water; but he will baptize you with the Holy
Spirit.”

Divine Liturgy for Great Feast of Epiphany
7:00 p.m.
Great Blessing of the Waters to follow
Followed by
“Coffee Chat”
in the Cathedral Hall
Topic of Discussion: New Year’s Resolutions
Hosted by the Stewardship Committee
All adults 18+ are invited to attend.
Schedule your Home Blessing by contacting
the Cathedral Office at 305-444-6541.
HOME BLESSINGS
Traditionally, at the feast of the Lord’s Epiphany
(Baptism) on January 6th, the Great Blessing of the
waters takes place and then is used to sanctify the
homes of all the faithful. In bringing the blessed water
to the homes, and sprinkling it in each room, we rid
our house of any evil influence, and rededicate it to
God in a special way.
As we were once renewed by the waters of our own baptism into
Christ, so too our home, and our entire lives, are re-dedicated and
renewed unto Christ our God each year at this time.
- Please contact the Cathedral Office at 305-444-6541 to schedule
the Home Blessing by Fr. Saba.
- The following should be prepared for
the Home Blessing:
All members of family must be present.
Bible
Icon
Lit Candle
Burning Incense (Optional)
Small Table (or dining room table)
- The visit by Fr. Saba should be
approximately 45 minutes.
Several visits will be scheduled on a
given day in order to reach and bless all families and homes this
season.
Once the Home Blessing Season is mostly over, Fr. Saba will
continue the regular Pastoral Visits, during which Fr. Saba
will spend ample time with each family.
