Priest. Let us be attentive. Pease be with you all.
Reader: And with your spirit. The Prokimen in tone 8. Their proclamation hath gone out into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the universe.
Verse: The heavens are telling the glory of God, and the firmament proclaims His handiwork. Priest: Wisdom! Reader: The reading from the Acts of the Apostle. Priest: Let us be attentive. Reader: Brothers, when the day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. And they all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven. And when this sound occurred, the multitude came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his own language. Then they were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, “Look, are not all these who speak Galileans, and how is it that we hear, each in our own language in which we were born, Parthians and Medes and Elamites, those dwelling in Mesopotamia, Judea and Capadocia, Pontus and Asia. Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.” And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What does this mean? Priest: Peace be with you reader. Reader: And with your spirit. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia. By the Word of the Lord were the heavens established, and all the might of them by the Spirit of His mouth. Verse: The Lord looked down from Heaven, He beheld all the sons of men.

Дим
палаючого ладану містить речовини, які відганяють страх, з’ясувала група науковців з Ізраїлю та СШААвтори
дослідження – біологи з американського університету Джона Гопкінса та Єрусалимського університету – повідомляють, що палаючий ладан (смола ладанного дерева – рослини роду Boswellіa) активує погано вивчені іонні канали в клітинах мозку та знижує рівень тривоги.Дим
ладану та фіміаму з найдавніших часів використовують у релігійних церемоніях, зокрема й у християнських богослужіннях.“
Незважаючи на інформацію, яка міститься в деяких древніх текстах, впливу ладанного дерева на психіку не досліджували. Ми встановили, що ацетат інценсолу (іncensole acetate), компонент смоли ладанного дерева, в експериментах на мишах знижує рівень занепокоєння та впливає на поведінку як антидепресант”, – говорить Рафаель Мечоулем, один зі співавторів роботи. За його словами, отриманий результат допоможе в розвитку сучасної нейробіології.Щоб
визначити психоактивний ефект ладану, дослідники ввели ацетат інценсолу миші. Вони встановили, що речовина впливає на ділянки мозку, про які відомо, що вони пов’язані з емоціями, а також із тими нервовими вузлами, на які діють наявні антидепресанти.“
Розуміння того, як ацетат інценолу, отриманий із ладану, впливає на певні зони мозку, може допомогти також у вивченні хвороб нервової системи”, – зазначив Рафаель Мечоулем.За
даними Національного інституту здоров’я США, від депресії та пов’язаних із нею розладів страждають близько 14,8 мільйона дорослих американців.***************************************************************

Pray for the sick: The Lord said: “Do unto others as you would want them do unto you.” So if we will be sick, we will ask help from God, we will ask priests and people to pray for us. In order for the Lord to listen to us when we are sick, we need to pray for those who are sick. O Lord our God, Who by Your Word alone healed all diseases; Who cured the Mother-in-law of Apostle Peter; Who chastises with pity and heals according to Your goodness; Who are able to put aside every malady and infirmity: Do You the same Lord, now relieve Your servants: John Buchma, Charles Stasko, Stephanie Sabath, Doris Okrepkie, Susan Cosner, Paul Chebiniak, John Glowa, John Tylko, Evelyn Kanazawich, Robert Kocak, Audrey Klym, Michael Hovancik, Kevin Terpak, Mildred Charnetsky, Mary & Walter Gulachok, Mary Gormish, Olga Gooley, Mary Ford, John Mihalko, Margaret Klish, Marlyn Klish, Cypryan Klish II, Sophia Malowicky, Genevieve Sadowitz, Anne and Karen Girnis, Julie Sadowitz, Catherine Dobransky, Pelahia Kit, Stephania Moroz, Mildred Bogdan, Wasyl Krawecki, Meghan Scannell, Olga Drost, Marion Kaspryk, Nicholas Corba, and cure them of the sicknesses which grieves them; lift them up from their beds of pain, sending down upon them Your mercy; and if it be Your will, give to them health and a complete recovery. For You are the Physician of our souls and bodies, and to You we ascribe glory: to the Father, to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit now and ever and unto ages of ages Amen.
