Epistle Reading
The reading is from St. Paul's Letter to the Hebrews 2:2-10
BRETHREN, if the message declared by angels was valid and every
transgression or disobedience received a just retribution, how shall we escape
if we neglect such a great salvation? It was declared at first by
the Lord, and it was attested to us by those who heard him, while God
also bore witness by signs and wonders and various miracles and by
gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his own will. For it
was not to angels that God subjected the world to come, of which we
are speaking. It has been testified somewhere, "What is man that
thou art mindful of him, or the son of man, that thou carest for him?
Thou didst make him for a little while lower than the angels, thou
hast crowned him with glory and honor, putting everything in
subjection under his feet." Now in putting everything in subjection to
him, he left nothing outside his control. As it is, we do not yet see
everything in subjection to him. But we see Jesus, who for a little while
was made lower than the angels, crowned with glory and honor because
of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might
taste death for every one. For it was fitting that he, for whom and by
whom all things exist, in bringing many sons to glory, should make the
pioneer of their salvation perfect through suffering.

Gospel Reading
The reading is from Luke 10:16-21
The Lord said to his disciples, "He who hears you hears me, and he
who rejects you rejects me, and he who rejects me rejects him who
sent me." The seventy returned with joy, saying, "Lord, even the
demons are subject to us in your name! " And he said to them, "I saw
Satan fall like lightning from heaven. Behold, I have given you
authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of
the enemy; and nothing shall hurt you. Nevertheless do not rejoice in
this, that the spirits are subject to you; but rejoice that your names
are written in heaven. " In that same hour he rejoiced in the Holy
Spirit and said, "I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that
you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and
revealed them to babes; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will."

Synaxis in honor of the Archangel Gabriel
Reading from the Synaxarion:
This festive Synaxis is celebrated to the glory of the Archangel
Gabriel, since he ministered to the marvelous mystery of God's incarnate
dispensation.
Apolytikion in the Fourth Tone
O Commanders of the Heavenly Host, we the unworthy beseech you,
that through your entreaties you will fortify us, guarding us in the
shelter of the wings of your ethereal glory, even as we fervently bow
before you crying: "Deliver us from all danger, as Commanders of the
Powers on high! "
Kontakion in the Fourth Tone
Supreme Commander of God and minister of the Divine glory, guide of men
and leader of the bodiless hosts: Ask for what is to our profit and
for great mercy, since thou art Supreme Commander of the bodiless
hosts.
