Saturday in the Third Week - At Liturgy
Liturgy of St John Chrysostom.
Commemoration of the Dead.
Hebrews 10:32-38
32
But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after
ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions;
33
Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by
reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became
companions of them that were so used.
34

compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the
spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have
in heaven a better and an enduring substance.
35
Cast not
away therefore your confidence, which hath great
recompence of reward.
36
For ye have need of patience,
that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive
the promise.
37
For yet a little while, and he that shall come
will come, and will not tarry.
38
Now the just shall live by
faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no
pleasure in him.
Commemoration of the Dead:
1 Thessalonians 4:13-17
13
But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren,
concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not,
even as others which have no hope.
14
For if we believe
that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which
sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15
For this we say
unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive
and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent
