Saint Matthias, apostle - Feast

Saint Matthias, apostle - Feast

1. Reading

Acts of the Apostles

1,15-17.20-26.

]Peter stood up in the midst of the brothers (there was a group of about one hundred and twenty persons in the one place). He said,
]"My brothers, the scripture had to be fulfilled which the holy Spirit spoke beforehand through the mouth of David, concerning Judas, who was the guide for those who arrested Jesus.
]He was numbered among us and was allotted a share in this ministry.
]For it is written in the Book of

Psalms: 'Let his encampment become desolate, and may no one dwell in it.' And: 'May another take his office.'
]Therefore, it is necessary that one of the men who accompanied us the whole time the Lord Jesus came and went among us,
]beginning from the baptism of John until the day on which he was taken up from us, become with us a witness to his resurrection."
]So they proposed two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was also known as Justus, and Matthias.
]Then they prayed, "You, Lord, who know the hearts of all, show which one of these two you have chosen
]to take the place in this apostolic ministry from which Judas turned away to go to his own place."
]Then they gave lots to them, and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was counted with the eleven apostles.

Psalm

Psalms

113(112),1-2.3-4.5-6.7-8.

]Praise, you servants of the LORD,
praise the name of the LORD.
]Blessed be the name of the LORD
both now and forever.
]From the rising to the setting of the sun
is the name of the LORD to be praised.
]High above all nations is the LORD;
above the heavens is his glory.
]Who is like the LORD, our God, who is enthroned on high
]who looks upon the heavens and the earth below?
]He raises up the lowly from the dust;
from the dunghill he lifts up the poor.
]To seat them with princes,
with the princes of his own people.

Gospel

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John

15,9-17.

]Jesus said to his disciples: "As the Father loves me, so I also love you. Remain in my love.
]If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and remain in his love.
]I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and your joy may be complete."
]This is my commandment: love one another as I love you.
]No one has greater love than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends.
]You are my friends if you do what I command you.
]I no longer call you slaves, because a slave does not know what his master is doing. I have called you friends, because I have told you everything I have heard from my Father.
]It was not you who chose me, but I who chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name he may give you.
]This I command you: love one another."
