BRETHREN, we feel sure of better things that belong to salvation. For God
is not so unjust as to overlook your work and the love which you
showed for his sake in serving the saints, as you still do. And we
desire each one of you to show the same earnestness in realizing the
full assurance of hope until the end, so that you may not be sluggish,
but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the
promises.

Gospel Reading
The reading is from Mark 7:31-37
At that time, Jesus returned from the region of Tyre, and went
through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, through the region of Dekapolis. And
they brought to him a man who was deaf and had an impediment in his
speech; and they besought him to lay his hand upon him. And taking him
aside from the multitude privately, he put his fingers into his ears,
and he spat and touched his tongue; and looking up to heaven, he
sighed, and said to him, "Ephphatha," that is, "Be opened." And his ears
were opened, his tongue was released, and he spoke plainly. And he
charged them to tell no one; but the more he charged them, the more
zealously they proclaimed it. And they were astonished beyond measure,
saying, "He has done all things well: he even makes the deaf hear and the
dumb speak."

Fourth Saturday of Lent
Apolytikion in the Second Tone
O Apostles, martyrs, prophets, hierarchs, righteous, and just ones,
who have finished your course well and have kept the Faith: seeing
ye have boldness with the Saviour, beseech Him for us, since He is
good, that our souls be saved, we pray.
Kontakion in the Plagal of the Fourth Tone
Give rest, O Christ, among the Saints to the souls of Your servants,
where there is no pain, no sorrow, no grieving, but life everlasting.

Titus the Wonderworker
Reading from the Synaxarion:
Little is known of this Saint except that he took up the monastic life
from his youth, became the abbot of a monastery, and reposed in peace.
Apolytikion in the Plagal of the Fourth Tone
The image of God, was faithfully preserved in you, O Father. For you
took up the Cross and followed Christ. By Your actions you taught us
to look beyond the flesh for it passes, rather to be concerned about
the soul which is immortal. Wherefore, O Holy Titus, your soul
rejoices with the angels.
