SUMMARY:Sunday of St. Gregory Palamas
DESCRIPTION:Saints\, Feasts\, and Readings for 03/08/2026\nSaints and Feasts: Sunday of St. Gregory Palamas; Theophylact the Confessor\, Bishop of Nicomedia; Hermas the Apostle of the 70; Dometios the Righteous; Paul the Confessor; Felix of Burgundy\, Enlightener of East Anglia\nFast Day (Wine and Oil Allowed) \nMatins Gospel Reading: Luke 24:36-53\nAt that time\, having risen from the dead\, Jesus went up and stood among His disciples and said to them\, “Peace be with you.” But they were startled and frightened\, and supposed that they saw a spirit. And He said to them\, “Why are you troubled\, and why do questionings rise in your hearts? See My hands and My feet\, that it is I Myself; handle Me\, and see; for a spirit has not flesh and bones as you see that I have.” And when He had said this\, He showed them His hands and His feet. And while they still disbelieved for joy\, and wondered\, He said to them\, “Have you anything here to eat?” They gave Him a piece of broiled fish [and some honeycomb]\, and He took it and ate before them. Then He said to them\, “These are My words which I spoke to you\, while I was still with you\, that everything written about Me in the law of Moses and the prophets and the psalms must be fulfilled.” Then He opened their minds to understand the scriptures\, and said to them\, “Thus it is written\, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead\, and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be preached in His name in all nations\, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things. And behold\, I send the promise of My Father upon you; but stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.” Then He led them out as far as Bethany\, and lifting up His hands\, He blessed them. While He blessed them\, He parted from them\, and was carried up into heaven. And they worshiped Him\, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy\, and were continually in the Temple blessing God. \nEpistle Reading: St. Paul’s Letter to the Hebrews 1:10-14; 2:1-3\nIN THE BEGINNING\, Thou\, Lord\, didst found the earth in the beginning\, and the heavens are the work of thy hands; they will perish\, but thou remainest; they will all grow old like a garment\, like a mantle thou wilt roll them up\, and they will be changed. But thou art the same\, and thy years will never end.” But to what angel has he ever said\, “Sit at my right hand\, till I make thy enemies a stool for thy feet?” Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to serve\, for the sake of those who are to obtain salvation? \nTherefore we must pay closer attention to what we have heard\, lest we drift away from it. For 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. \nGospel Reading: Mark 2:1-12\nAt that time\, Jesus entered Capernaum and it was reported that he was at home. And many were gathered together\, so that there was no longer room for them\, not even about the door; and he was preaching the word to them. And they came\, bringing to him a paralytic carried by four men. And when they could not get near him because of the crowd\, they removed the roof above him; and when they had made an opening\, they let down the pallet on which the paralytic lay. And when Jesus saw their faith\, he said to the paralytic\, “My son\, your sins are forgiven.” Now some of the scribes were sitting there\, questioning in their hearts\, “Why does this man speak thus? It is a blasphemy! Who can forgive sins but God alone?” And immediately Jesus\, perceiving in his spirit that they thus questioned within themselves\, said to them\, “Why do you question thus in your hearts? Which is easier\, to say to the paralytic\, ‘Your sins are forgiven\,’ or to say\, ‘Rise\, take up your pallet and walk? But that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins”-he said to the paralytic-“I say to you\, rise\, take up your pallet and go home.” And he rose\, and immediately took up the pallet and went out before them all; so that they were all amazed and glorified God\, saying\, “We never saw anything like this!”
