週年聖頌集:先知月十三日至十九日之間的主日

On the Sunday that falls from the 13th to the 19th of the present month, we chant the Service to the Holy and God-bearing Fathers who came together in the Seven Ecumenical Councils, that is:

本主日是本月(先知月)13日至19日之間的主日,我們今天舉行禮儀,紀念那些出席七次普世大公會議的神聖而心懷天主的教父。這七次普世大公會議是:

• the First Council, of the 318 Fathers who assembled in Nicaea in 325 to condemn Arius, who denied that the Son of God is consubstantial with the Father; the Fathers of the First Council also ordained that the whole Church should celebrate Pascha according to the same reckoning;

第一次普世大公會議:主後325年,在尼西亞召開,有318位教父出席會議,會議判罰了亞略,他否認天主子與父有同一的性體。與會的教父們還頒佈法令,規定全教會必須在以相同的方法推算出的巴斯卦慶節日期上共同慶祝巴斯卦節。

• the Second Council, of the 150 Fathers who assembled in Constantinople in 381 to condemn Macedonius, Patriarch of Constantinople, who denied the Divinity of the Holy Spirit;

第二次普世大公會議:主後381年,在君士坦丁堡召開,有150位教父出席會議,會議判罰了君士坦丁堡宗主教瑪凱多尼,他否認聖神的天主性。

• the Third Council, of the 200 Fathers who assembled in Ephesus in 431, to condemn Nestorius, Patriarch of Constantinople, who called Christ a mere man and not God incarnate;

第三次普世大公會議:主後431年,在厄弗所召開,有200位教父出席會議,會議判罰了君士坦丁堡宗主教聶斯托利,他聲稱基督只是人,而不是降生成人的天主。

• the Fourth Council, of the 630 who assembled in Chalcedon in 451, to condemn Eutyches, who taught that there was only one nature, the divine, in Christ after the Incarnation, and Dioscorus, Patriarch of Alexandria, who illegally received Eutyches back into communion and deposed Saint Flavian, Patriarch of Constantinople, who had excommunicated Eutyches;

第四次普世大公會議:主後451年,在加采東召開,有630位教父出席會議,會議判罰了歐提基,他教導說,基督降生成人之後,只有一個本性,即只有天主性。會議還判罰了亞歷山大里亞宗主教狄奧斯科若,因他非法接納歐提基重回教會的共融之中,並罷免了對歐提基處以絕罰的君士坦丁堡宗主教弗拉維安。

• the Fifth Council in 553, of the 165 who assembled in Constantinople for the second time, to condemn Origen and Theodore of Mopsuestia, the teacher of Nestorius;

第五次普世大公會議:主後553年,在君士坦丁堡召開,有165位教父出席會議,會議判罰了奧力振、以及聶斯托利的老師莫普蘇厄斯提亞的德奧多若。

第六次普世大公會議:主後680年,在君士坦丁堡召開,有170位教父出席會議,會議判罰了一志論異端,該異端教導基督只有一個意志,即天主的意志。

• and the Seventh Council in 787, of the 350 who assembled in Nicaea for the second time to condemn Iconoclasm.

第七次普世大公會議:主後787年,在尼西亞召開,有350位教父出席會議,會議判罰了破壞聖像運動。

In the Russian usage, only the first six Councils are commemorated today.

在俄國教會,本主日只紀念參加前六次大公會議的諸聖教父。

 

本週調式的復活遣散頌與集禱頌

遣散頌 第八調式

Most glorified art Thou, O Christ our God, Who hast established our Fathers as luminous stars upon the earth, and through them didst guide us all to the true Faith. O Most Merciful One, glory be to Thee.

基督,我們的天主,祢是最為榮耀者,祢使我們的教父成為世上的明亮星辰,藉藉他們引導我們眾人進入真信仰。至仁慈者啊,願光榮歸於祢。

另一遣散頌 第一調式
童貞女,天使加俾額爾

Ye faithful, let us honour the Seven Holy Councils, * which Christ God the Wisdom hath set as His house’s seven pillars; * through them have we all received unchanged * the undefiled traditions of the Faith. * As our anchor, we hold fast to their right decrees, * while crying unto the Fathers: * Glory to Him that illumined you all. * Glory to Him that magnified you. * Glory to Him that hath strengthened the Orthodox Faith through you.

信友們,讓我們尊崇七次神聖大公會議,智慧──天主基督──把它們立為他家的七根柱子;藉著他們,我們眾人領受了毫無變更、毫不敗壞的信仰傳統。我們緊緊把握他們的正確決議,作為我們的錨,我們向諸位教父高呼:願光榮歸於啟廸你們眾人的那一位。願光榮歸於稱揚你們的那一位。願光榮歸於藉著你們堅固了正教信仰的那一位。

集禱頌 第八調式

The preaching of the Apostles and the doctrines of the Fathers confirmed the one Faith in the Church. And wearing the garment of truth woven from the theology on high, she rightly divideth and glorifieth the great mystery of piety.

宗徒們的宣講及教父們的道理在教會中確定了唯一的信仰。教會穿上了由自上而來的神學所織成的外衣,正確地分解偉大的敬虔奧秘,並光榮了這一奧秘。
