Priest. Let us be attentive. Pease be with you all.

Reader: And with your spirit. The Prokimen in tone 1. Let Thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us / as we have set our hope on Thee.

Verse: Rejoice in the Lord, O ye Righteous! Praise befit’s the just!

Priest: Wisdom!

Reader: The reading from the first letter of Apostle Paul to the Corinthians. Priest: Let us be attentive.

Reader: Brothers, I think that God has displayed us, the apostles, last, as men condemned to death; for we have been made a spectacle to the world, both 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 distinguished, but we are dishonored! To the present hour we both hunger and thirst, and we are poorly clothed, and beaten, and homeless. And we labor, working with our own hands. Being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure, being defamed, we entreat. We have been made as the filth of the world, the off scouring of all things until now. I do not write these things to shame you, as my beloved children I warn you. For though you might have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet you do not have many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel. Therefore I urge you, imitate me.

Priest: Peace be with you reader.

Reader: And with your spirit. Alleluia. Alleluia. Alleluia. God gives vengeance unto me, and subdues people under me!

Verse: He magnifies the salvation of the king, and deals mercifully with Christ, with David and his seed for ever.

The Ukrainian Independence Day Flag Raising will take place at Binghamton City Hall on Monday, August 25, 2008 at 10:00 AM. Because we were at City Hall in May for a longer program, the flag raising will be shorter than usual and will take place at the flag pole outside of City Hall.

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: Sidonia V, Peter Dobrasky, Eleza Kourevelis, John and Shirly 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 and 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.
