GALATIANS 5: 22 – 6: 2
Brethren, the Fruit of the Spirit is Love,
Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness,
Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness,
Self-control.
Crucified the flesh with its passions
and desires.
If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk
by the Spirit.
Let us have no self-conceit, no
provoking of one another, no envy of
each other.
Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any
trespass, you who are Spiritual,
should Restore him in a Spirit of
Gentleness.
Look to yourself lest you, too, be
tempted.
Bear one another’s burdens, and so
fulfil the Law of Christ.
TO ST LUKE 6 : 17 - 23
At that time, our Lord Jesus stood on a
level place, with a great crowd of His
Disciples, and a great multitude of
people from all Judea and Jerusalem,
and the coast of tyre and Sidon, who
went to hear Him, and to be Healed
of their diseases – and those who
were troubled with unclean spirit
were cured.
And all the crowd sought to touch Him,
for Power went forth from Him and
Healed them all.
He lifted up His Eyes to His
Disciples, and said: “Blessed art you
who art poor, for yours is the
Kingdom of God.
Blessed art you who hunger now, for
you shall be satisfied.
Blessed art you who weep now, for you
shall rejoice.
Blessed art you when men hate you,
and when they exclude you, and
revile you, and cast out your name as
evil, on account of the Son of Man!

✞Praise Him for His Mighty Acts;
praise Him according to the
greatness of His Majesty.
Along with Mount Athos on this day, all
you mountains, leap for Joy! And let
the whole world now celebrate with
Hymns, and Glorify the Lord, for He
granted us recently Paisios, Boast of
Saints, Support of Believers, Teacher
of Repentance and Mighty Champion
of Virtue and Truth.
✞Praise Him with the sound of the
trumpet; praise Him with lute and
harp.
With such adornments of Grace, Thou
beautified Thy soul, O Holy Paisios,
for Thou had Zeal that burnt like fire
– like that of Elijah. Thou had
Daniel’s acumen, the mind-set of the
brave Maccabee Brethren, the Ardent
Love for God of Ignatios, and
especially, the immense Love of Paul.
Praise Him with timbrel and dance;
praise Him with strings and pipe
A Treasure that never fails was Thy
great, noble Love for which Thou
suffered together with the suffering,
and bore their pain upon Thy
shoulders, O All Blessed, and thus
Thou gladly followed the Path of the
Cross. And having found thereby
the Joy of the Resurrection, Thou
became a Provider of Comfort to all
the world.
Praise Him with tuneful cymbals!
Praise Him with loud cymbals! Let
everything that has breath praise
the Lord!
Appear to us from Above as our Mighty
Champion, defending, protecting
and delivering us from all adversity.
Stop the warfare against us, and the
overwhelming storms, and reinforce
the Orthodox Faith throughout the
world. We Entreat Thee to receive
Peace for our soul, by Thine intense
Intercessions, O Holy Paisios.
✞ Glory to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit
