Fourth Sunday after Pascha. Sunday of the Paralytic
Vigil & Confessions: May 18, Saturday at 6:00 p.m.
Liturgy: May 19, Sunday at 10:00 a.m.
The fourth Sunday after Pascha is called the Sunday of the Paralytic, since on in the Gospel at the Liturgy for this Sunday we recall the account of the Lord’s healing of the paralytic, who had lain for thirty-eight years by the Sheep’s Pool in Jerusalem. This event, like those of the Sundays that follow, testifies to us of the Divine omnipotence of the Lord Jesus Christ, and thereby strengthen our faith in the truth of His resurrection. In addition to this, these events were performed during this very period of time- during the days of Pentecost.

On the fifth Sunday after Pascha — that of the Samaritan Woman — we commemorate how the Lord, coming from the Samaritan city of Sihar to Jacob’s well, while in conversation with the Samaritan woman gave her "the living water which dries up the fount of sins," revealed that He is the Knower of hearts, and clearly proclaimed Himself the Messiah, Christ.
