Вторник в Осмината на Възкресение Христово ПЪРВО ЧЕТИВО Покайте се, и всеки от вас да се кръщава в името на Исуса. Четене от деянията на Апостолите. 2,36-41 В деня на Петдесетница Петър казваше на Юдеите: "И тъй, нека наздраво знае целият дом Израилев, че Тоя Исус, когото вие разпнахте, Бог направи Господ и Христос." Като чуха това, на сърце им стана умилно, и казаха на Петър и на другите Апостоли: "Какво да направим, мъже братя?" А Петър им рече: "Покайте се, и всеки от вас да се кръсти в името на Исуса Христа за прошка на греховете и ще приемете дара на Светия Дух. Защото за вас е обещанието, за вашите деца и за всички далечни, които би призовал Господ Бог наш." И с много други думи свидетелствуваше и ги приканваше, думайки: "Спасявайте се от тоя опак род." И тъй, които приеха на драго сърце думите му, кръстиха се; и се присъединиха в оня ден около три хиляди души. Това е Божие слово. ОТПЕВЕН ПСАЛОМ Пс 32,4-5.18.19.20 и 22 (О: 5в) С милост Господня е пълна земята, или: Алилуя. Защото словото на Господа е право, и всички Му дела са верни. Той обича правда и съд; с милост Господня е пълна земята. О Ето, окото на Господа е над ония, които Му се боят, и които се уповават на милостта Му;че Той ще спаси душата им от смърт, и във време на глад ще ги прехрани. Нашата душа се уповава на Господа; Той е наша помощ и наша защита. Да бъде милостта Ти над нас, Господи, според както Ти се уповаваме. О АЛИЛУЯ Пс 117,24 О Алилуя. Тоя ден е Господ сътворил; да се зарадваме и да се развеселим в него. О Алилуя. ЕВАНГЕЛИЕ Видях Господа и ми каза това. Четене от светото Евангелие според Иван. 20,11-18 В онова време: Мария стоеше при гроба отвън и плачеше. И както плачеше, надникна в гроба; и вижда два ангела в бяло облекло да седят - единият при главата, а другият при нозете, дето беше лежало тялото Исусово. И те й казват: "Жено, защо плачеш?" Отговори им: "Дигнали Господа моя, и не зная, де са Го турили." Като рече това, обърна се назад и видя Исуса да стои; ала не знаеше, че е Исус. Исус й казва: "Жено, защо плачеш? Кого търсиш?" Тя, мислейки, че е градинарят, каза му: "Господине, ако си го ти изнесъл, кажи ми, де си Го турил, и аз ще Го взема." Исус й казва: "Марио!" Тя се обърна и Му рече: "Равуни!" (което значи: Учителю!). Исус й казва: "Не се допирай до Мене; защото още не съм възлязъл при Отца Си. Но иди при братята Ми и им кажи: "Възлизам при моя Отец и при вашия Отец, и при моя Бог и при вашия Бог." Дохожда Мария Магдалина, та обажда на учениците: "Че видяла Господа и че това й казал." Това е слово Господне.

Thursday's Thought for Sunday's Service I then think about any contemporary conversation I might have, and how someone would similarly speak my name, as Jesus did with Mary in the garden. Unlike Mary however, I imagine my name being spoken by someone I know, or at least, think I know, and have initially recognized. With friendliness, I imagine how I might feign surprise as the other person shares what’s new in world events, but it’s often the case where I too, have already heard the news, given the wired, constantly connected nature of things. In this, small talk, based upon frequent experience, describing, and sharing in issues as any situation might imply, no matter how dramatically expressed, seems ordinary. Still, has my capacity for surprise been exhausted? For example, maybe I don’t know the person I’m talking with as well as I think I do, or whether that person truly knows me. “Are they harboring some deep secret that I know nothing about?” Humm. Very likely could be. After all, are we not well attuned to ferreting out conspiracy, nefarious intent? It’s human nature, after all. But the surprise at Easter is not that Mary finds something that reinforces the negative… rather positive. Although her tears were real, emotionally, dramatically expressed, and it also appears like this moment could be primarily processed as a simple, understandable, engaging, ordinary conversation, isn’t there something promising, reassuring, found in this brief interaction? To recognize a new outlook, plan of action …like a guidebook of eternal satisfaction, a deep mystery concealed, was uncovered and revealed. It dawned with Mary’s name being spoken, said. The secret is… Jesus risen from the dead. Rev. Richard Wagnetr Dear friends, This week’s Thursday’s Thought for Sunday’s Sermon is based upon John 20: 1-18: “Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance. So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have put him!” So Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb. Both were running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. He bent over and looked in at the strips of linen lying there but did not go in. Then Simon Peter came along behind him and went straight into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, as well as the cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus’ head. The cloth was still lying in its place, separate from the linen. Finally the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went inside. He saw and believed. (They still did not understand from Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.) Then the disciples went back to where they were staying. Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus’ body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot. They asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?” “They have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I don’t know where they have put him.” At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus. He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?” Thinking he was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.” Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means “Teacher”). Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’ ” Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them that he had said these things to her.” In preparing for Sunday’s sermon, I approach this biblical encounter focusing upon Mary in the garden and her encounter with the resurrected Jesus. For me, I read this passage as a familiar scene. Questioning him, she initially does not recognize who he is. During this interchange, Jesus speaks her name… I think, “These passages are well trod.” It leads me to wonder if they’ve become too comfortable – speaking to my age. Am I less inclined to be surprised about anything?
