Homily on the 11th Sunday after Pentecost
From Metropolitan Hilarion (Alfayev)
A certain man owed the king a large sum: 10,000 talents. But when the king wanted to receive this money from him, it turned out that he had nothing with which to pay him, and the king forgave his debt. This man, recognizing the gravity of his financial situation, decided to collect money from his own debtors. Meeting a man who owed him 100 denarii, he began to choke him, demanding repayment of the debt (Matthew 18:23-35).
This parable, which we have repeatedly heard and read, teaches us several things. First is the fact that we are all debtors before God, and the debt of each of us is very large. And the only reason we do not pay back this debt is that the Lord never seeks, in contrast with the king from the parable, to settle accounts with us. If the Lord decided to require that we repay this debt, if it were calculated how many of the talents He has given us we have made use of indeed, and how many we have wasted in vain, then, of course, we would have no excuse for our unpreparedness to fulfill the work of God, for our reluctance to follow the Gospel, for our inability to find what use the received talents have been put to, and for our passivity and laziness.
Second, the Lord’s parable shows us that we rarely think of ourselves as being in debt to God. Forgetting that each one of us has received from the Lord a multitude of great and small gifts, and taking these gifts for granted, we are always seeking something more from God and, if we do not receive what we desire, we become insulted or irritated. We consider that, in addition to those 10,000 talents that the Lord has already given us, we should receive from Him yet more talents and, if we do not receive them, we consider ourselves offended and cheated. After all, the problem is not that we have been given little, but that the riches we have been given we have not put into circulation, but have buried them in the ground, and therefore not only do they not make a profit, but they are not enough to make sure that we can pay off our debts.
Third, the parable that we heard today speaks of our relationship with our neighbors. The Lord gives us very much, but we give our neighbors very little. The Lord generously shares with us His grace and His gifts, but we begrudge people money, things, time, and attention; we fear wasting the talents given to us, forgetting that, if we do not put them into circulation, they will lose value, just as money, when withdrawn from real circulation, turns into useless pieces of paper. The Lord has given us talents not so that we would guard their wealth ourselves, but so that we would share them with our neighbors.
The Lord forgives us our debts, but we must forgive our debtors. In the “Our Father” prayer, we daily repeat: “And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.” But if we are to have any right to turn with this request to God, we should forget about the debts of other people to us and remember only our own debts before others. The Lord forgives us all our debts; He has enough generosity, mercy, and love to forgive any sin, but on one condition: that we also will forgive people. Everything is interconnected in life, and therefore if we are awaiting forgiveness and mercy from God, then we should be able to show mercy ourselves, which we should provide to those near and far.
Let us put ourselves before the judgment seat of this parable. And if there is anyone whom we have been unable to forgive, let us forgive him. If someone is our debtor, let us forgive him his debt, that the mercy and grace of God would be with us always. Amen.

Commemorating Martyrs Adrian and Natalia and 23 companions of Nicomedia, Venerable Adrian Abbot of Ondrusov Valaam, Saint Adrian of Uglich, Venerable Joasaph son of St Abenner the King
RESURRECTIONAL TROPARION—TONE 2
When You descended to death, O Life Immortal, You destroyed hell with the splendor of Your Godhead. And when from the depths You raised the dead, all the powers of heaven cried out: “O Giver of life, Christ our God, glory to You!”
HOLY FATHER NICHOLAS TROPARION—TONE 4
Truly you were revealed to your flock as a rule of faith, an image of humility and a teacher of abstinence; your humility exalted you; your poverty enriched you. Hierarch Father Nicholas, entreat Christ our God that our souls may be saved.
MARTYRS TROPARION—TONE 4
Your holy martyrs Adrian and Natalia, O Lord, through their suffering have received incorruptible crowns from You, our God. For having Your strength, they laid low their adversaries, and shattered the powerless boldness of demons. Through their intercessions save our souls.
RESURRECTION KONTAKION—TONE 2
Hell became afraid, O almighty Savior, seeing the miracle of Your Resurrection from the tomb! The dead arose! Creation, with Adam, beheld this and rejoiced with You, and the world, my Savior, praises You forever.
HYMN TO THE MOTHER OF GOD KONTAKION—TONE 6
Steadfast Protectress of Christians and constant Advocate before the Creator; despise not the cry of us sinners, but come speedily to help those who call on You in faith. Hasten to hear our petition and to intercede for us, O Theotokos, for You always protect those who honor You!

DEACON: Wisdom!
READER: The Reading is from the first Epistle of the Holy Apostle Paul to the Corinthians.
DEACON: Let us attend!
READER: Brethren, if I am not an apostle to others, yet doubtless I am to you. For you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord. My defense to those who examine me is this: Do we have no right to eat and drink? Do we have no right to take along a believing wife, as do also the other apostles, the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas? Or is it only Barnabas and I who have no right to refrain from working? Who ever goes to war at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat of its fruit? Or who tends a flock and does not drink of the milk of the flock? Do I say these things as a mere man? Or does not the law say the same also? For it is written in the law of Moses, “You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain.” Is it oxen God is concerned about? Or does He say it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written, that he who plows should plow in hope, and he who threshes in hope should be partaker of his hope. If we have sown spiritual things for you, is it a great thing if we reap your material things? If others are partakers of this right over you, are we not even more? Nevertheless we have not used this right, but endure all things lest we hinder the gospel of Christ.
PRIEST: Peace be unto you, reader!
READER: And with your spirit! Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
CHOIR: Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
READER: May the Lord hear you in the day of trouble! May the name of the God of Jacob protect you!

Читач: Браћо, ако другима нисам апостол. али вама јесам, јер сте ви печат мојега апостолства у Господу. То је моја одбрана пред онима који ме осуђују. Зар немамо право јести и пити? Зар немамо право сестру жену са собом водити, као и остали апостоли, и браћа Господња и Кифа? Или само ја и Варнава немамо право ово чинити? Ко икад војује о своме трошку? Ко сади виноград и не једе од рода његова? Или ко чува стадо и од млијека стада не једе? Зар ово говорим по људском? Или не говори ово и Закон? Јер је у Мојсејеву закону написано: Не завезуј уста волу који врше. Брине ли се то Бог за волове? Или говори управо ради нас? Јер се ради нас написа: да који оре, треба у нади да оре, и који врше у нади да ће примити по својему надању. Ако ми вама посијасмо оно што је духовно, зар је много ако ми од вас пожњемо оно што је тјелесно? Ако се други користе вашим правом, како ли не би ми? Али се ми не користисмо овим правом, него све подносимо да не учинимо какве сметње јеванђељу Христову.

LITURGY GOSPEL:
Matthew 18:23-35
At that time, the kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. And when he had begun to settle accounts, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents. But as he was not able to pay, his master commanded that he be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and that payment be made. The servant therefore fell down before him, saying, ‘Master, have patience with me, and I will pay you all.’ Then the master of that servant was moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt.
“But that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii; and he laid hands on him and took him by the throat, saying, ‘Pay me what you owe!’ So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you all.’ And he would not, but went and threw him into prison till he should pay the debt. So when his fellow servants saw what had been done, they were very grieved, and came and told their master all that had been done. Then his master, after he had called him, said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me. Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, just as I had pity on you?’ And his master was angry, and delivered him to the torturers until he should pay all that was due to him. “So My heavenly Father also will do to you if each of you, from his heart, does not forgive his brother his trespasses.”

ЈЕВАНЂЕЉЕ:
Матеј 18:23-35
Каза Господ причу ову: Царство небеско слично човјеку цару, који хтједе да се прорачуна са слугама својим. И кад се поче рачунати, доведоше му једнога дужника од десет хиљада таланата. И будући да он немаше чиме вратити, заповиједи господар његов да продаду њега и жену његову и дјецу и све што имаше, и да се наплати, но слуга тај паде и клањаше му се говорећи: Господару, причекај ме, и све ћу ти вратити. А господар се сажали на онога слугу, и пусти га и дуг му опрости. А кад изиђе слуга тај, нађе једнога од својих другара који му бијаше дужан сто динара, и ухвати га и стаде давити говорећи: Дај ми што си дужан! Паде другар његов пред ноге његове и мољаше га говорећи: Причекај ме, и све ћу ти вратити. А он не хтједе, него га одведе и баци у тамницу док не врати дуг. Видјевши пак другари његови тај догађај, ожалостише се веома, и отишавши, објаснише господару својему све што се догодило. Тада га позва господар његов, и рече му: Зли слуго, сав дуг онај опростио сам ти, јер си ме молио. Није ли требало да се и ти смилујеш на свога другара, као и ја на те што се смиловах? И разгњеви се господар његов, и предаде га мучитељима док не врати све што му је дуговао. Тако ће и Отац мој небески учинити вама, ако не опростите сваки брату својему од срца својих сагрјешења њихова.
