Uncovering of the Relics (1422) of St Sergius of Radonezh (1392); St Athanasius of Mt Athos (1003) and his six disciples; Righteous Father Lampadus the Wonderworker

Tuesday of the 6th week after Pentecost

Tone 4. No fast. What this means

The Epistle for Athanasius of Mount Athos

Galatians 5:22–6:2

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, 23gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.

25If we live by the Spirit, let’s also walk by the Spirit. 26Let’s not become conceited, provoking one another, and envying one another.

1Brothers, even if a man is caught in some fault, you who are spiritual must restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, looking to yourself so that you also aren’t tempted. 2Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

The Gospel for Athanasius of Mount Athos

Matthew 11:27–30

All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows the Son, except the Father; neither does anyone know the Father, except the Son and he to whom the Son desires to reveal him.

28“Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you will find rest for your souls. 30For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
