Prayer Before Reading Holy Scripture
O Master Who loves mankind, illuminate our hearts with the pure light of Your divine knowledge and open the eyes of our mind to understand the teachings of Your Gospel. Instill in us also the fear of Your blessed commandments, that we may overcome all carnal desires, entering upon a spiritual life and understanding and acting in all things according to Your holy will. For You are the enlightenment of our souls and bodies, O Christ God, and to You we give glory together with Your eternal Father and Your all-holy, gracious and life-giving Spirit, now and ever and forever. Amen.
Epistle Reading: 1 Thessalonians 1:6-10
And you became followers of us and of the Lord,
having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit,
so that you became examples to all in Macedonia and Achaia who believe.
For from you the word of the Lord has sounded forth, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place. Your faith toward God has gone out, so that we do not need to say anything.
For they themselves declare concerning us what manner of entry we had to you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God,
and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come.

Gospel Reading: Luke 11:34-41
"The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore, when your eye is
good, your whole body also is full of light. But when your eye is bad, your
body also is full of darkness.
"Therefore take heed that the light which is in you is not darkness.
"If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, the whole body will be full of light, as when the bright shining of a lamp gives you light."
And as He spoke, a certain Pharisee asked Him to dine with him. So He went in and sat down to eat.
And when the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that He had not first washed before dinner.
But the Lord said to him, "Now you Pharisees make the outside of the cup and dish clean, but your inward part is full of greed and wickedness.
"Foolish ones! Did not He who made the outside make the inside also?
"But rather give alms of such things as you have; then indeed all things are clean to you.
