Epistle Reading
The reading is from St. Paul's Letter to the Hebrews 10:32-38
Brethren, recall the former days when, after you were enlightened, you
endured a hard struggle with sufferings, sometimes being publicly exposed
to abuse and affliction, and sometimes being partners with those so
treated. For you had compassion on the prisoners, and you joyfully
accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you
yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one. Therefore do not
throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. For you have
need of endurance, so that you may do the will of God and receive what
is promised. "For yet a little while, and the coming one shall come
and shall not tarry; but my righteous one shall live by faith."

Gospel Reading
The reading is from Mark 9:33-41
At that time, Jesus and his disciples came to Capernaum, and when he
was in the house he asked them, "What were you discussing on the
way?" But they were silent; for on the way they had discussed with one
another who was the greatest. And he sat down and called the twelve; and
he said to them, "If any one would be first, he must be last of all
and servant of all." And he took a child, and put him in the midst
of them; and taking him in his arms, he said to them, "Whoever
receives one such child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me,
receives not me but him who sent me." John said to him, "Teacher, we saw
a man casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because
he was not following us." But Jesus said, "Do not forbid him; for
no one who does a mighty work in my name will be able soon after to
speak evil of me. For he that is not against us is for us. For truly,
I say to you, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you
bear the name of Christ, will by no means lose his reward."

Removal of the Relics of Ignatios the God-bearer
Apolytikion in the Fourth Tone
As a sharer of the ways and a successor to the throne of the
Apostles, O inspired of God, thou foundest discipline to be a means of
ascent to divine vision. Wherefore, having rightly divided the word of
truth, thou didst also contest for the Faith even unto blood, O
Hieromartyr Ignatios. Intercede with Christ our God that our souls be saved.
Kontakion in the Fourth Tone
Dawning from the East this day, divine Ignatius, that God-bearer praised
of all, hath made the whole creation bright with his wise teachings
of piety and is adorned with the beauty of martyrdom.
