The Orthodox Tewahedo Biblical Canon: A Unique Version of the Christian Bible

The Orthodox Tewahedo Biblical Canon holds a unique position within the Ethiopian and Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Churches, encompassing a rich tapestry of 81 books that shape the spiritual and cultural identity of these faith communities. This expansive collection includes not only the familiar books found in other Christian canons but also several additional writings that offer distinct insights…

Most oriental orthodox churches are pretty much ethnoreligions, no?

AFAICT they're just six miaphysite churches governed along roughly the same lines as Eastern Orthodox churches (i.e., autocephalous churches all in communion with each other). I think if "ethnoreligion" has a meaning stronger than "local cultural flavor of a larger religious tradition" (which I think would be a very uninteresting definition applicable to even huge transethnic religions with centralized governance) it's hard for me to see how these churches are ethnoreligions. Some, like the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, seem overtly multiethnic!

Like I understand an "ethnoreligion" as a religious tradition that is in some ways unique to, or nearly exclusively associated with, a particular culture, especially where ethnic and religious identity are to some extent linked. Alawites, Mandaeans, and Parsis seem like much more central examples than most Christian denominations.

Though some sources seem to use the term "ethnoreligion" to include groups where a religious fault line also runs across an ethnic fault line, even if the religion isn't particular to the ethnic group: Bosniaks, for instance, would be an ethnoreligious group because they are distinguished from their neighbors in part by being Muslim, even though they are mainline Sunnis. In this telling, Irish Catholics are also an ethnoreligious group, because they are distinguished from their Irish Protestant neighbors in ways which are especially salient in the context of Northern Ireland (even if the salience of this distinction is low outside of the region).

That seems like a different thing we are talking about to me than the thing we are talking about when we're talking about the cultural and religious identity of, like, Parsis or Jews. Under that classification there might be some Oriental Orthodox churches that are ethnoreligions, though? Probably not the Armenian Apostolic Church or the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, but maybe some of the minority churches in predominantly Muslim regions?

In the last 100 years, over 90 per cent of Ethiopia’s forests have been lost. Yet in the area east of Lake Tana, the source of the Blue Nile, green ‘church forests’ are scattered like islands across the arid landscape.

The forests surrounding Ethiopia’s Orthodox Tewahedo churches have a similar function to other physical objects within the church building, such as the murals and icons and incense, directing the worshipper to look beyond what is visible.

[apocrypals]

my understanding of the apocrypha were most were recognized as canon by the Roman Catholic Church and other Orthodox Churches but as I'm trying to find more information online I'm getting more confused about what's considered canon by who (mostly the Roman Catholic Church as that is what I was raised in) do you have resources that clearly explain and/or list which denominations recognize which apocrypha?

So there’s a distinction to be made between what we on the show call capital-A Apocrypha and lower case-a apocrypha.

The capital-A type is also known as the Deuterocanon, and it represents the various late-era books that are present in the Greek translation of the Hebrew Scriptures called the Septuagint, but which are *not* included in the authoritative Hebrew text of the Bible known as the Masoretic text. (NB: the Septuagint is many centuries older than the Masoretic text.)

When Martin Luther translated the Bible into German, he separated these texts and put them at the end as being worthy of study but not as authoritative as the other material. Later American English editions of the Bible would subsequently cut the Apocrypha/Deuterocanon altogether to save on printing costs. So if you grew up in a Protestant church and don’t know what Bel and the Dragon is, that’s why.

These books include Tobit, Judith, and 1 and 2 Maccabees, among about a dozen others. You will find these in pretty much any Catholic Bible.

In addition, the Eastern Orthodox Church accepts a small handful more, including 3 and 4 Maccabees, 1 and 2 Esdras, and a bonus Psalm. If you buy a copy of a study version of the NRSV such as a NOAB or the new SBL study Bible, you should find that it contains all of the Deuterocanon of both the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches.

Where things start to get broader is in some of the Oriental Orthodox churches, most notably the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, which has over 80 books in its broader canon (numbers differ), including Jubilees and 1 Enoch.

Where the confusion comes, I think, is from the fact that the word apocrypha is also used to refer to works that were never part of any official canon despite their popularity and influence. Elements of these books have come into Catholic belief through tradition, however, even though they have never been official scripture. The Infancy Gospel of James is a major example of a book that has never been canon but which nevertheless has had an outsize influence on Catholic teaching.

Wikipedia has a chart that you may or may not find useful depicting which books are canon where

A short rule of thumb is this: the only Apocrypha considered canon by any church is Jewish in origin. There is no New Testament apocrypha held as canon by any major church

Traditional Ethiopian tattoos also known as nikisat are deeply rooted in the country’s cultural and religious history. They often feature intricate designs such as crosses, geometric patterns, and symbols unique to various ethnic groups. These tattoos serve multiple purposes: they signify religious devotion, particularly within the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, mark rites of passage, and convey social status or ethnic identity.

The tattooing process is traditionally done by hand, using simple tools to puncture the skin and natural dyes to create lasting marks. Despite the pain and risk of infection, these tattoos are highly valued for their cultural significance and personal meaning.

ethiopian orthodox tewahedo music is so good btw my mind is blown

[isablooo]

Since my current comic (Dracula's Guest) is set in the 1890s I couldn't help thinking up an 1890s AU for my Search for Quintessence characters!

info under cut~

So the AU is set in 1890s London

Willow- recently moved from Peru to UK and doesn't really like it here. His family were meant to move to his mum's home in Stockholm but ended up in London (idk how just roll with it) and put off leaving. He works as a gardener but does amateur boxing in his free time - he can fight alright and its extra income! That makes him sound tough but he's honestly a good boy who is just trying to get by.

Assana- shy young girl who's hoping to get into the London School of Medicine for Women. She grew up living along the coast in Whitby (her family are first gen norwegian immigrants) but she moved to London to study. I put her in a classic Victorian sailor outfit since she grew up by the beach!

Orolin- Honestly, I just wanted to draw Orolin as a newspaper boy lol. I think she'd kill that role. But in all seriousness, she's probably be aiming to work as a gardener like Willow! I envision them as neighbours in this AU

Aine- Orthodox Tewahedo nun on a trip to the London with her mother. She's pretty reserved but she's been in the convent since she was small so she's excited to get the chance to travel!

Illuna- French girl who works as a maid for a very rich family - She was employed by them back in Paris but came alongside a lot of the other staff when they moved to London. She loves glamour and loves perusing the latest Parisian fashion magazines that her mistress has shipped in

Ember- rich girl who is the daughter of a politician, often accompanying him on diplomatic visits. She's very sporty so she's almost perpetually in a cycling suit!

Angelic Hierarchy

[This is the Christian hierarchy, I was going to start with the Jewish hierarchy and then do Christianity and then do Islam but Judaism has multiple hierarchies and Islam doesn’t seem to rank them]

The First Sphere

Angels in the First Sphere worship and live with God directly and communicate His will to angels closer to humanity.

Seraphim

The highest of all angels, seraphim fly around the throne of God, crying “holy, holy, holy.”  Seraphim have six wings.  They were characterized by Thomas Aquinas by their “burning love for God.”

Seraphim appear in the Book of Isaiah and the Book of Revelation.

Cherubim

Cherubim have two sets of wings and four faces: a human, a lion, an ox, and an eagle.  They serve as a vehicle for God: "He mounted the cherubim and flew; he soared on the wings of the wind." [Psalm 18:10].  Aquinas characterized cherubim by their knowledge. Cherubim are the angels depicted on the ark of the Covenant and a cherub is said to guard the Garden of Eden.

Cherubim appear in the Books of Genesis, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, Psalms, Isaiah, and Ezekiel.

Thrones

Tumblr's favorite angel, Thrones are also called Ophanim or Wheels. Thrones are so named because they guard the throne of God. Thrones are burning interlocked wheels covered with eyes. They never sleep, and are characterized by Rosemary Ellen Guiley as peaceful and submissive.

Thrones appear in the Books of Daniel and Ezekiel and in the letter to the Colossians.

The Second Sphere

Angels in the Second Sphere govern God's creation.

Dominations

Dominations are also called Dominions or Lordships. Dominations regulate the duties of lower angels.

Dominations appear in the letters to the Ephesians and Colossians.

Virtues

Virtues govern celestial bodies and rule over miracles and blessings.

Virtues appear in the letter to the Ephesians.

Powers

Powers, also called Authorities, have dominion over evil forces. They guard the border between Heaven and Earth.

Powers appear in the letter to the Ephesians.

The Third Sphere

Angels in the Third Sphere act as protectors and messengers to humans.

Principalities

Principalities, also called Princedoms and Rulers, oversee groups of people, such as governments or churches. They are the angels charged with fulfilling divine ministries.

Principalities appear in the letter to the Ephesians.

Archangels

Archangels are the guardians of nations and countries, and the people and events therein. There are said to be seven archangels, with Michael being the only one named in the Bible.

In Catholicism, Gabriel and Raphael are also archangels. Uriel was recognized as an archangel by some early Church fathers, but the text in which he appears, the Fourth Book of Esdras, is not a part of the Catholic canon.

In the Eastern Orthodox Church, there are seven recognized archangels: Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Sealtiel, Jeguidel, and Barachiel. An eighth angel, Jerahmeel, is also sometimes listed as an archangel.

The Coptic Orthodox Church acknowledges seven archangels: Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Suriel, Zedekiel, Sarathiel, and Ananiel.

The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church venerates seven archangels: Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Phanuel, Raguel, and Ramiel.

Some Anglican churches name seven archangels: Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Chamuel, Jophiel, and Zadkiel.

Archangels are mentioned in 1 Thessolonians and the Book of Jude.

Angels

The lowest angelic order, angels are the most connected to human beings. Guardian angels [Matthew 18:10] refers to this class of angel. These angels serve as messengers to humanity.

Narga Selassie: An Northen Ethiopia Orthodox Tewahedo Church

[tyrannoninja]

Ezana (c. 320s-360 AD) was an emperor of Aksum, an empire centered on what is now modern Ethiopia and Eritrea that, at the peak of its power, stretched from northern Sudan to the west and southern Arabia to the east. Under the influence of his enslaved Syrian teacher Frumentius, Ezana was the first Ethiopian ruler to convert to Christianity. He may have also conquered the kingdom of Kush in 350 AD, as historians have deduced from Ge’ez inscriptions on a stela found at the Kushite capital of Meroe, although an alternate interpretation is that Ezana was simply helping the Kushites suppress a revolt by the Nuba people. To this day, both the Catholic Church and the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church reveres Ezana as a saint, honoring him with days of feasting on the 1st and 27th of October.

+LORD JESUS CHRIST, SON OF GOD, HAVE MERCY ON US SINNERS. Señor Yeshua el Mesias, Hijo de Bathalá, ten piedad de nosotros pecadores. Señor Yeshua el Mesias, Hijo de Mangechay, ten piedad de nosotros pecadores. LORD YESHUA THE MESSIAH, SON OF ALLAH, HAVE MERCY ON US SINNERS.

“There is a Trinitarian dimension to the most dearly-loved of single-phrase Orthodox prayers, the Jesus Prayer, an ‘arrow prayer’ used both at work and during times of quiet. In its most common form this runs: Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner. This is, in outward form, a prayer to the second person of the Trinity, the Lord Jesus Christ. But the other two persons are also present, although they are not named. For, by speaking of Jesus as ‘Son of God’, we point towards his Father; and the Spirit is also embraced in our prayer, since ‘no one can say “Lord Jesus”, except in the Holy Spirit’ (1 Cor. 12:3). The Jesus Prayer is not only Christ-centered but Trinitarian."

Quotes by Saint Rachel Held Evans:

“As a Christian, my highest calling is not motherhood; my highest calling is to follow Christ.”

“God’s ways are higher than our ways not because he is less compassionate than we are but because he is more compassionate than we can ever imagine.”

“What a comfort to know that God is a poet.”

“This is what God’s kingdom is like: a bunch of outcasts and oddballs gathered at a table, not because they are rich or worthy or good, but because they are hungry, because they said yes. And there’s always room for more.”

“I have come to regard with some suspicion those who claim that the Bible never troubles them. I can only assume this means they haven’t actually read it.”

“I explained that when our gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender friends aren’t welcome at the table, then we don’t feel welcome either, and that not every young adult gets married or has children, so we need to stop building our churches around categories and start building them around people.”

The Parable of the Lost Coin in Luke 15:8-10

“Or what woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and seek diligently until she finds it? And when she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin which I had lost.’ Just so, I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents.” +LORD JESUS YESHUA THE MESSIAH CHRIST, PRE-ETERNAL BISHOP, PRE-ETERNAL PATRIARCH & SON OF GOD, HAVE MERCY ON US SINNERS!

Yeshua The Messiah (Allah the Word) is called Father in Isaiah 9:6-7

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government will be upon his shoulder, and his name will be called “Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, upon the throne of David, and over his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time forth and for evermore.

A prayer Elder Joseph Kottis the Hesychast would recite before beginning to pray: Lord Jesus Christ, sweetest Father, God and Lord of mercy, and Creator of the entire universe: Look upon my humility and forgive all my sins which I have committed all the years of my life up to this very day and hour.

Yes, good eternal Father, co-eternal Son, and All-Holy Spirit, count me worthy of enlightenment and divine spiritual knowledge, so that by beholding Thy sweet grace I may bear the burden of this vigil tonight, and render unto Thee my prayers and thanksgiving, through the intercessions of the Most Holy Theotokos and all the Saints. Amen.

And Moses said, “I will turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.” When the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the bush, “Moses, Moses!” And he said, “Here am I.” Then he said, “Do not come near; put off your shoes from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.” And he said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God.

TENTH ETHICAL DISCOURSE OF SAINT SYMEON THE NEW THEOLOGIAN:    “A certain man was serving a rebel, an opponent and enemy of the King of the Christians. He accomplished many victories and acts of courage against the [King’s] servants. While he was held in great honour by the tyrant and his troops, he received messages on several occasions from the King of the Christians that he should come to Him, and be with Him, and be honoured with great gifts and reign with Him. He, however, for some years did not want to do so and increased his warfare against Him still more fiercely. One day, though, when he had come to doubt himself and had become sorrowful, he decided to take flight and go alone to the King…. When he approached the King and embraced His feet, he wept and asked for forgiveness. Seized by unexpected joy, that good King immediately accepted him, wondering at his conversion and humility. […] Raising him up, the King “fell upon his neck and kissed him” [Lk 15:20] all over his eyes which had been weeping for many hours. […] …[H]e Himself clothed His former enemy and rival, and in no way reproached him for anything. And this is not the whole tale, but day and night He rejoices and is glad with him, embracing him and kissing his mouth with His own. So much does He love him exceedingly that He is not separated from him even in sleep, but lies together with him embracing him on His bed, and covers him all about with His own cloak, and places His face upon all his [bodily] members.” +++LORD JESUS YESHUA THE MESSIAH CHRIST, PRE-ETERNAL BISHOP, PRE-ETERNAL KING, PRE-ETERNAL PATRIARCH & SON OF GOD (SON OF BATHALA / SON OF ALLAH / SON OF ELOHIM / SON OF YAHWEH), THROUGH THE POWERFUL PRAYERS OF THE MOST HOLY THEOTOKOS & SAINTS SYMEON THE NEW THEOLOGIAN, MARIA SKOBTSOVA THE NEW MARTYR OF PARIS, MARY MAGDALENE, MOSES THE ETHIOPIAN, WALATTA PETROS, THOMAS THE APOSTLE, SERAPHIM MOSHNIN OF SAROV, ARCHANGEL MICHAEL, ARCHANGEL URIEL AND JOHN THE THEOLOGIAN, HAVE MERCY ON US SINNERS!

Prophet Elijah / Elias Ascends to Heaven 2 Kings 2:6-12

Then Eli′jah said to him, “Tarry here, I pray you; for the Lord has sent me to the Jordan.” But he said, “As the Lord lives, and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So the two of them went on. Fifty men of the sons of the prophets also went, and stood at some distance from them, as they both were standing by the Jordan. Then Eli′jah took his mantle, and rolled it up, and struck the water, and the water was parted to the one side and to the other, till the two of them could go over on dry ground. When they had crossed, Eli′jah said to Eli′sha, “Ask what I shall do for you, before I am taken from you.” And Eli′sha said, “I pray you, let me inherit a double share of your spirit.” And he said, “You have asked a hard thing; yet, if you see me as I am being taken from you, it shall be so for you; but if you do not see me, it shall not be so.” And as they still went on and talked, behold, a chariot of fire and horses of fire separated the two of them. And Eli′jah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. And Eli′sha saw it and he cried, “My father, my father! the chariots of Israel and its horsemen!” And he saw him no more. +LORD JESUS YESHUA THE MESSIAH CHRIST, PRE-ETERNAL BISHOP, PRE-ETERNAL PATRIARCH, PRE-ETERNAL KING & SON OF GOD, HAVE MERCY ON US SINNERS!

There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse, and a branch shall grow out of his roots. And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord. And his delight shall be in the fear of the Lord. He shall not judge by what his eyes see, or decide by what his ears hear; but with righteousness he shall judge the poor, and decide with equity for the meek of the earth; and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips he shall slay the wicked.

Baptism of Yeshua the Messiah in the THEOPHANY GOSPEL READINGS!!!

Matthew 3:13-17 Then Jesus YESHUA came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him. John would have prevented him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?” But Jesus YESHUA answered him, “Let it be so now; for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he consented. And when Jesus YESHUA was baptized, he went up immediately from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened and he saw the Spirit RUACH HAKODESH of God descending like a dove, and alighting on him; and lo, a voice from heaven, saying, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”

Mark 1:9-11 In those days Jesus YESHUA came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. And when he came up out of the water, immediately he saw the heavens opened and the Spirit RUACH HAKODESH descending upon him like a dove; and a voice came from heaven, “Thou art my beloved Son; with thee I am well pleased.”

Luke 3:21-22 Now when all the people were baptized, and when Jesus YESHUA also had been baptized and was praying, the heaven was opened, and the Holy Spirit RUACH HAKODESH descended upon him in bodily form, as a dove, and a voice came from heaven, “Thou art my beloved Son; with thee I am well pleased.”

John 1:28-34  This took place in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing. The next day he saw Jesus YESHUA coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who ranks before me, for he was before me.’ I myself did not know him; but for this I came baptizing with water, that he might be revealed to Israel.” And John bore witness, “I saw the Spirit RUACH HAKODESH descend as a dove from heaven, and it remained on him. I myself did not know him; but he who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘He on whom you see the Spirit RUACH HAKODESH descend and remain, this is he who baptizes with the Holy Spirit RUACH HAKODESH.’ And I have seen and have borne witness that this is the Son of God.” +LORD JESUS YESHUA THE MESSIAH CHRIST, PRE-ETERNAL BISHOP & TRUE GOD, HAVE MERCY ON US SINNERS! प्रभु यीशु मसीह, परमेश्वर के सन्तान, हम पर दया कर!கர்த்தாவே இயேசு கிறிஸ்து, எங்களுக்கு இரங்கும்!

So the soldiers did this. But standing by the cross of Jesus YESHUA were his Mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Mag′dalene. When Jesus YESHUA saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing near, he said to his Mother, “Woman, behold, your son!” Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home. +++LORD JESUS YESHUA THE MESSIAH CHRIST, PRE-ETERNAL BISHOP, PRE-ETERNAL PATRIARCH & SON OF GOD, HAVE MERCY ON US SINNERS!

LORD JESUS YESHUA THE MESSIAH CHRIST, SON OF ALLAH (SON OF GOD), THROUGH THE PRAYERS OF SAINTS MARIA SKOBTSOVA THE NEW MARTYR OF PARIS & MOSES THE ETHIOPIAN, HAVE MERCY ON US SINNERS!+++ONE1. (John 6:35-48) Jesus YESHUA said to them, “I am the bread of life; he who comes to me shall not hunger, and he who believes in me shall never thirst. But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe. All that the Father gives me will come to me; and him who comes to me I will not cast out. For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me; and this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up at the last day. For this is the will of my Father, that every one who sees the Son and believes in him should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.” The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, “I am the bread which came down from heaven.” They said, “Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does he now say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?” Jesus answered them, “Do not murmur among yourselves. No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day. It is written in the prophets, ‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ Every one who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me. Not that any one has seen the Father except him who is from God; he has seen the Father. Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes has eternal life. I am the bread of life. +TWO 2. (John 8:12 & 9:5) Again Jesus YESHUA spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world; he who follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” “As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” +THREE 3. (John 10:7) So Jesus YESHUA again said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.” +FOUR 4. (John 10:11-14) “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. He who is a hireling and not a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. He flees because he is a hireling and cares nothing for the sheep. I am the good shepherd; I know my own and my own know me…” +FIVE 5. (John 11:25) Jesus YESHUA said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live…” +SIX 6. (John 14:6) Jesus YESHUA said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but by me.” +SEVEN 7. (John 15:1-5) “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. Every branch of mine that bears no fruit, he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. You are already made clean by the word which I have spoken to you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in me, and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.”++ LORD JESUS YESHUA THE MESSIAH CHRIST, SON OF ALLAH (SON OF GOD), THROUGH THE PRAYERS OF SAINTS MARIA SKOBTSOVA THE NEW MARTYR OF PARIS & MOSES THE ETHIOPIAN, HAVE MERCY ON US SINNERS!

Lord Yeshua the Messiah Heals the Woman with Blood +Matthew 9:20–22 And behold, a woman who had suffered from a hemorrhage for twelve years came up behind him and touched the fringe of his garment; for she said to herself, “If I only touch his garment, I shall be made well.” Jesus YESHUA turned, and seeing her he said, “Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well.” And instantly the woman was made well. +Mark 5:25–34 And there was a woman who had had a flow of blood for twelve years, and who had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better but rather grew worse. She had heard the reports about Jesus YESHUA, and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his garment. For she said, “If I touch even his garments, I shall be made well.” And immediately the hemorrhage ceased; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease. And Jesus YESHUA, perceiving in himself that power had gone forth from him, immediately turned about in the crowd, and said, “Who touched my garments?” And his disciples said to him, “You see the crowd pressing around you, and yet you say, ‘Who touched me?’” And he looked around to see who had done it. But the woman, knowing what had been done to her, came in fear and trembling and fell down before him, and told him the whole truth. And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be healed of your disease.” +Luke 8:43–48 And a woman who had had a flow of blood for twelve years and could not be healed by any one, came up behind him, and touched the fringe of his garment; and immediately her flow of blood ceased. And Jesus YESHUA said, “Who was it that touched me?” When all denied it, Peter said, “Master, the multitudes surround you and press upon you!” But Jesus YESHUA said, “Some one touched me; for I perceive that power has gone forth from me.” And when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared in the presence of all the people why she had touched him, and how she had been immediately healed.

Katie Kelaidis Quote About Christianity: “Christianity is decidedly not a self-help philosophy. It is not a sin prevention program. If it was, it would be the worst one ever. It is an understanding of how God, who is Life, has defeated Death and how we might become participants in that victory. Christ did not come to make us good. He came to give us Life.” +LORD JESUS YESHUA THE MESSIAH CHRIST, SON OF GOD, through the prayers of Saints Mary Magdalene, Father Moses the Ethiopian (Moses the Black), Father Alexander Schmemann, Mother Maria Skobtsova the New Martyr of Paris, Mother Walatta Petros, Gregory Palamas, Lorraine Suvak, George Kelaidis, Amor Flores Monis, Mary (Manya) Salogub, Irene Puswald, Bernice Sybil Clarke, Mother Olga Michael of Alaska, Father Seraphim Moshnin of Sarov, Spyridon of Trimythous, Pachomius the Great, Paisios Eznepidis of Mount Athos, Porphyrios Bairaktaris the Kapsokalivite, Raphael Hawaweeny of Brooklyn, John Maximovitch of Shanghai and San Francisco, Metropolitan Michael I of Kiev, Nektarios Kefalas of Aegina and Pentapolis, and Mitrophan Yang of China, HAVE MERCY ON US SINNERS!

“The Gospels are clear that Christ was scourged, then dressed up like a king and beaten and mocked, then dressed in His own clothes again. Think about what that means.

And a gang of sadistic Roman soldiers ripped a Man’s clothes off and whipped Him while He was stark naked, then they forcibly dressed Him in a humiliating costume, beat Him up again, ripped the costume off, and threw His own clothes back on Him.

Kebra Nagast (Chapter 110) Concerning the Resurrection of Christ [Translated by E.A. Wallis Budge]

And the Prophet DAVID also prophesied, concerning His (Jesus Christ’s) Resurrection and said, “I will arise, saith the Lord, and I will make salvation and manifest it openly.” And again he saith, “Rise up, O Lord, and judge the earth, for Thou shalt inherit among the nations.” And he also prophesied and said, “Rise up, O Lord, help us, and deliver us for Thy Name’s sake.” And again he said, “Let God arise and let His enemies be scattered, and let His enemies flee from before His face.” And he also prophesied and said, “God hath risen up like one who hath woke up from sleep, and like a mighty man who hath left [his] wine.” Thus ISAIAH the prophet prophesied and said, “He will remove sickness from his soul, for he hath not committed sin, and falsehood hath not been found in his mouth. And to him that hath served righteousness and good will he show light and he will justify him; and he shall do away the sins of many, for he hath not committed sin, and falsehood is not found in his mouth.” Thus prophesied DAVID the Prophet and said, “For My soul shall not be left in hell.” Thus SOLOMON his son prophesied and said, “The Sun of righteousness shall arise, and shall travel towards the right, and shall return into His place.” +LORD JESUS YESHUA THE MESSIAH CHRIST, PRE-ETERNAL PATRIARCH, PRE-ETERNAL BISHOP & SON OF THE LIVING GOD, HAVE MERCY ON US SINNERS!

Jacob Dreams About A Ladder in Genesis 28:10-19

Jacob left Beer-sheba, and went toward Haran. And he came to a certain place, and stayed there that night, because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones of the place, he put it under his head and lay down in that place to sleep. And he dreamed that there was a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven; and behold, the angels of God were ascending and descending on it! And behold, the Lord stood above it and said, “I am the Lord, the God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac; the land on which you lie I will give to you and to your descendants; and your descendants shall be like the dust of the earth, and you shall spread abroad to the west and to the east and to the north and to the south; and by you and your descendants shall all the families of the earth bless themselves.Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done that of which I have spoken to you.” Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “Surely the Lord is in this place; and I did not know it.” And he was afraid, and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.” So Jacob rose early in the morning, and he took the stone which he had put under his head and set it up for a pillar and poured oil on the top of it. He called the name of that place Bethel (House of God); but the name of the city was Luz at the first. +LORD JESUS YESHUA THE MESSIAH CHRIST, PRE-ETERNAL BISHOP, PRE-ETERNAL PATRIARCH & SON OF GOD, THROUGH THE PRAYERS OF SAINTS PATRIARCH TIKHON BELLAVIN OF MOSCOW, FATHER SERAPHIM MOSHNIN OF SAROV, MOTHER MARIA SKOBTSOVA THE NEW MARTYR OF PARIS, FATHER MOSES THE ETHIOPIAN, MOTHER WALATTA PETROS, ARCHBISHOP JOHN MAXIMOVITCH OF SHANGHAI AND SAN FRANCISCO & ARCHBISHOP GREGORY PALAMAS OF THESSALONIKI, HAVE MERCY ON US SINNERS!

MOSES AND THE BURNING BUSH Exodus 3:1-7

Now Moses was keeping the flock of his father-in-law, Jethro, the priest of Mid′ian; and he led his flock to the west side of the wilderness, and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. And the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush; and he looked, and lo, the bush was burning, yet it was not consumed. And Moses said, “I will turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.” When the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the bush, “Moses, Moses!” And he said, “Here am I.” Then he said, “Do not come near; put off your shoes from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.” And he said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God.

HANNUKAH (Chanukah) MIRACLE!   2 Maccabees 10:5-9 It happened that on the same day on which the sanctuary had been profaned by the foreigners, the purification of the sanctuary took place, that is, on the twenty-fifth day of the same month, which was Chislev. And they celebrated it for eight days with rejoicing, in the manner of the feast of booths, remembering how not long before, during the feast of booths, they had been wandering in the mountains and caves like wild animals. Therefore bearing ivy-wreathed wands and beautiful branches and also fronds of palm, they offered hymns of thanksgiving to him who had given success to the purifying of his own holy place. They decreed by public ordinance and vote that the whole nation of the Jews should observe these days every year. Such then was the end of Anti′ochus, who was called Epiph′anes. +LORD JESUS YESHUA THE MESSIAH CHRIST, SON OF GOD,  through the prayers of the Holy Maccabee Martyrs Abim, Antonius, Gurias, Eleazar, Eusebonus, Alimus, Marcellus, Solomonia, and Eleazar, have mercy on us sinners! Lord Jesus Yeshua the Messiah Christ, Son of God, through the prayers of Judas Maccabeus, have mercy on us sinners! LORD JESUS YESHUA THE MESSIAH CHRIST, SON OF ALLAH (GOD), THROUGH THE PRAYERS OF SAINT JUDE (THADDEUS) THE APOSTLE, HAVE MERCY ON US SINNERS!

Klingon Aleut (Plural): joH yeSuS QrISt, puqloD vo’ joH'a’, ghaj pung Daq maH yemwI'pu’!

[Klingon gives a nod to Aleut … the pronunciation is as follows: a [ɑ] As in psalm or pa, never as in crabapple. b [b] As in bronchitis, gazebo or bribe. ch [t͡ʃ] As in chew or artichoke. D [ɖ] As in Swedish värd (host), further back than English d as in dream or android. Let the tongue touch halfway between the teeth and the soft palate. e [ɛ] As in sensor or pet. gh [ɣ] Put tongue as if to say gobble, but relax and hum. Almost the same as H but voiced. H [x] As in the name of the German composer Bach. Very strong and coarse. Similar to gh but without humming. I [ɪ] As in misfit or pit. j [d͡ʒ] As in junk (with an initial d-sound), never as in French jour. l [l] As in lunge or alchemy. m [m] As in mud or pneumatic. n [n] As in nectarine or sunspot. ng [ŋ] As in furlong or thing, never as in engulf. Also occurs at the beginning of syllables. o [o] As in go or mosaic. p [pʰ] As in parallax or oppobrium, always with a strong puff or pop, never laxly. q [qʰ] Similar to k in kumquat, but further back. The tongue should touch the uvula while saying this. A puff of air should accompany the sound. Q [q͡χ] A harder variant of q, very strong and raspy. r [r] A trilled r using the tip of the tongue, as in Swedish rör (pipe, tube) if properly articulated. S [ʂ] As in Swedish mothårs (against the predominant direction of hair growth e.g. on a pet) or as an English s articulated with the tongue in the Klingon D position. t [tʰ] As in tarpaulin or critique. It is accompanied by a puff of air. tlh [t͡ɬ] To learn how to say this Klingon sound, first say l, then keep your tongue in the same position and exhale. Now repeat this, but let the air build up pressure behind your tongue before releasing it. The resulting sound should be voiceless, and you should be able to feel the air escape quite forcefully on both sides of your tongue. u [u] As in gnu, prune or soon, never as in but or cute. v [v] As in vulgar or demonstrative. w [w] As in worrywart or cow. y [j] As in yodel or joy. ’ [ʔ] As in the abrupt cutoff of sound in uh-oh or unh-unh meaning “no”.]

Hospitality of Saint Moses the Ethiopian: “Once a command was given to the brothers who were in Skete, saying, ‘Fast this week and celebrate the ‎Passover.’ So some of the brothers came from Egypt to Abba Moses. While he was boiling a little food for them, ‎his neighbors saw the smoke of his fire rising up and they said to the clergy, “Behold, Moses has broken the ‎command and has boiled some food in his cell.” So they said to them, ‘Hold your peace, when he comes to us we ‎will speak to him.’ Now when the Sabbath arrived, the clergy, having regard to his great ascetic labors, said to him ‎before the whole assembly, ‘O Moses, though you broke the command of me, you established that of God.’” ‎+LORD JESUS YESHUA THE MESSIAH CHRIST, PRE-ETERNAL BISHOP, PRE-ETERNAL PATRIARCH & SON OF GOD, HAVE MERCY ON US SINNERS!

PRODIGAL CHILD/SON PARABLE Luke 15:11-32

And HE (THE PRE-ETERNAL PATRIARCH & PRE-ETERNAL BISHOP JESUS YESHUA THE MESSIAH CHRIST OF NAZARETH) said, “There was a man who had two sons; and the younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the share of property that falls to me.’ And he divided his living between them. Not many days later, the younger son gathered all he had and took his journey into a far country, and there he squandered his property in loose living. And when he had spent everything, a great famine arose in that country, and he began to be in want. So he went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed swine. And he would gladly have fed on the pods that the swine ate; and no one gave him anything. But when he came to himself he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have bread enough and to spare, but I perish here with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and I will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son; treat me as one of your hired servants.”’ And he arose and came to his father. But while he was yet at a distance, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him. And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring quickly the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet; and bring the fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and make merry; for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.’ And they began to make merry. “Now his elder son was in the field; and as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing. And he called one of the servants and asked what this meant. And he said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fatted calf, because he has received him safe and sound.’ But he was angry and refused to go in. His father came out and entreated him, but he answered his father, ‘Lo, these many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed your command; yet you never gave me a calf, that I might make merry with my friends. But when this son of yours came, who has devoured your living with harlots, you killed for him the fatted calf!’ And he said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours. It was fitting to make merry and be glad, for this your brother was dead, and is alive; he was lost, and is found.’”

Archangel Michael in Daniel 10:13-21,12:1

The prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; but Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, so I left him there with the prince of the kingdom of Persia and came to make you understand what is to befall your people in the latter days. For the vision is for days yet to come.” When he had spoken to me according to these words, I turned my face toward the ground and was dumb. And behold, one in the likeness of the sons of men touched my lips; then I opened my mouth and spoke. I said to him who stood before me, “O my lord, by reason of the vision pains have come upon me, and I retain no strength. How can my lord’s servant talk with my lord? For now no strength remains in me, and no breath is left in me.” Again one having the appearance of a man touched me and strengthened me. And he said, “O man greatly beloved, fear not, peace be with you; be strong and of good courage.” And when he spoke to me, I was strengthened and said, “Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me. Then he said, “Do you know why I have come to you? But now I will return to fight against the prince of Persia; and when I am through with him, lo, the prince of Greece will come. But I will tell you what is inscribed in the book of truth: there is none who contends by my side against these except Michael, your prince. “At that time shall arise Michael, the great prince who has charge of your people. And there shall be a time of trouble, such as never has been since there was a nation till that time; but at that time your people shall be delivered, every one whose name shall be found written in the book.”

Father Alexander Schmemann’s Pascha Quote: “Thus on Easter we celebrate Christ’s Resurrection as something that happened and still happens to us. For each one of us received the gift of that new life and the power to accept it and to live by it. It is a gift which radically alters our attitude toward everything in this world, including death. It makes it possible for us joyfully to affirm: ‘Death is no more!’ Oh, death is still there, to be sure and we still face it and someday it will come and take us. But it is our whole faith that by His own death Christ changed the very nature of death, made it a passage—a ‘passover’, a ‘Pascha’—into the Kingdom of God, transforming the tragedy of tragedies into the ultimate victory. “Trampling down death by death,” He made us partakes of His Resurrection. This is why at the end of the Paschal Matins we say: ‘Christ is risen and life reigneth! Christ is risen and not one dead remains in the grave!’” +++ LORD JESUS YESHUA THE MESSIAH CHRIST, PRE-ETERNAL PATRIARCH, PRE-ETERNAL BISHOP & SON OF GOD, THROUGH THE PRAYERS OF Saints Father Alexander Schmemann, Mother Maria Skobtsova the New Martyr, Father Moses the Ethiopian, Mother Walatta Petros, Grand Duchess Mother Elizabeth Fyodorovna the New Martyr, Father Seraphim Moshnin of Sarov, Father Gabriel Urgebadze the Confessor and Fool for Christ, Archdeacon Father Stephen the Apostle Protomartyr, Father Herman of Alaska, Father John Chrysostom, Father Gregory Palamas, Archangel Michael, Archangel Gabriel, Archangel Raphael, Archangel Uriel, Peter the Aleut, Father Job Zhelezo of Pochaev, Father Paisios Eznepidis of Mount Athos, Father Porphyrios Bairaktaris of Kafsokalivia, Bishop Raphael Hawaweeny of Brooklyn, Mother Florence Li Tim-Oi, Mother Josephine Bakhita, Brother André Bessette, Vida Dutton Scudder, Florence Converse, and Mother Olympia the Deaconess, HAVE MERCY ON US SINNERS AND ON THE WHOLE UNIVERSE!

His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes like a flame of fire; His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, and His voice as the sound of many waters, He had in His right hand seven stars, out of his mouth went a sharp two edged sword, and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength. And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying to me, “Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last. I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen…”.

Saint Porphyrios Bairaktaris of Kafsokalivia Quote:

“This is the way we should see Christ— He is our friend, our brother. He is whatever is good and beautiful. He is everything. Yet, He is still a friend and He shouts it out, “You’re my friends, don’t you understand that? We’re brothers. I’m not threatening you. I don’t hold hell in my hands. I love you. I want you to enjoy life together with me.” Christ is Everything. He is joy, He is life, He is light. He is the true light who makes man joyful, makes him soar with happiness; makes him see everything, everybody; makes him feel for everyone, to want everyone with him, everyone with Christ.“ -Saints Porphyrios Bairaktaris of Kafsokalivia, Paisios of Mount Athos, Maria Skobtsova the New Martyr of Paris, Seraphim Moshnin of Sarov, John Maximovitch of Shanghai and San Francisco, John Jacob the Romanian Chozebite of Hazeva, Ephrem the Syrian, Nektarios Kefalas of Aegina and Pentapolis, Grigol Peradze, Mitrophan Yang of Beijing, Grand Duchess Elizabeth Fyodorovna  the New Martyr,Moses the Black, Tikhon Bellavin of Moscow, and Nino of Georgia pray for us always!

Laotian: Ong Phra Yesu Christ jong mee medta tor moo kanoi.

Matthew 28:1-20

NOW AFTER THE SABBATH, toward the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the sepulchre. And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone, and sat upon it. His appearance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow. And for fear of him the guards trembled and became like dead men. Господи Иисусе Христе, Сыне Божий, помилуй нас грешники! But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid; for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold, he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. Lo, I have told you.” So they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples. And behold, Jesus met them and said, “Hail!” And they came up and took hold of his feet and worshiped him. Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid; go and tell my brethren to go to Galilee, and there they will see me.” While they were going, behold, some of the guard went into the city and told the chief priests all that had taken place. And when they had assembled with the elders and taken counsel, they gave a sum of money to the soldiers and said, “Tell people, ‘His disciples came by night and stole him away while we were asleep.’ And if this comes to the governor’s ears, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.” So they took the money and did as they were directed; and this story has been spread among the Jews to this day. Господи Иисусе Христе, Сыне Божий, помилуй нас грешники!  Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. And when they saw him they worshiped him; but some doubted. And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS, TO THE CLOSE OF THE AGE.”

Saint Silouan Antonov the Athonite quote:

“Christ prayed for those that crucified Him: ‘Father, count not this sin against them; they know not what they do.’ Archdeacon Stephen prayed for those who stoned him so that the Lord would not judge this sin against them. And so we, if we wish to retain grace, must pray for our enemies. If you do not find pity on a sinner who will suffer in flames, then you do not carry the grace of the Holy Spirit, but rather an evil spirit; and while you yet live, you must free yourself from his clutches through repentance.” Saint Silouan Antonov the Athonite pray for us always! Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, have mercy on us sinners! Господи Иисусе Христе, Сыне Божий, помилуй нас грешники! Doamne Iisuse Hristoase, Fiul lui Dumnezeu, Miluieşte-ne pe noi pacatosii!

Prayer to Saint Panteleimon: You emulated the Merciful One, and received from Him the grace of healing, Passion-bearer and healer Panteleimon; by your prayers, heal our spiritual diseases and continually drive away the temptations of the enemy from those who cry out in faith “Save us, O Lord.” Doamne Iisuse Hristoase, Fiul lui Dumnezeu, Miluieşte-ne pe noi pacatosii!

Saint Seraphim of Sarov Quote:  "When I am dead, come to me at my grave, and the more often the better. Whatever is in your soul, whatever may have happened to you, come to me as when I was alive and kneeling on the ground, cast all your bitterness upon my grave. Tell me everything and I shall listen to you, and all the bitterness will fly away from you. And as you spoke to me when I was alive, do so now. For I am living and I shall be forever.“ Saint Seraphim Moshnin of Sarov pray for us! Господи Иисусе Христе, Сыне Божий, помилуй нас грешники!

Saint John of Shanghai Quote:     “Holiness is not simply righteousness, for which the righteous merit the enjoyment of blessedness in the Kingdom of God, but rather such a height of righteousness that men are filled with the grace of God to the extent that it flows from them upon those who associate with them. Great is their blessedness; it proceeds from personal experience of the Glory of God. Being filled also with love for men, which proceeds from love of God, they are responsive to men’s needs, and upon their supplication they appear also as intercessors and defenders for them before God.” — Saint John Maximovitch of Shanghai and San Francisco pray for us! Господи Иисусе Христе, Сыне Божий, помилуй нас грешники!

Gospel of Nicodemus [Chapter 19: Verses 1-3,11-12 &18] 1 THEN Jesus stretched forth his hand, and said, Come to me, all ye my saints, who were created in my image, who were condemned by the tree of forbidden fruit, and by the devil and death; 2 Live now by the wood of my cross; the devil, the prince of this world, is overcome, and death is conquered. 3 Then presently all the saints were joined together under the hand of the most high God; and the Lord Jesus laid hold on Adam’s hand and said to him, Peace be to thee, and all thy righteous posterity, which is mine. 11 Then the Lord stretching forth his hand, made the sign of the cross upon Adam, and upon all his saints.12 And taking hold of Adam by his right hand, he ascended from hell, and all the saints of God followed him. 18 In like manner all the prophets spake the sacred things of his praise, and followed the Lord. Господи Иисусе Христе, Сыне Божий, помилуй нас грешники!

Gospel of John 20:11-16

But Mary stood outside by the tomb weeping, and as she wept she stooped down and looked into the tomb. And she saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus [Yeshua] had lain. Then they said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid Him.” Now when she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus [Yeshua] standing there, and did not know that it was Jesus [Yeshua]. Jesus [Yeshua] said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?” She, supposing Him to be the gardener, said to Him, “Sir, if You have carried Him away, tell me where You have laid Him, and I will take Him away.” Jesus [Yeshua] said to her, “Mary!” She turned and said to Him, “Rabboni!” (which is to say, Teacher).

O Lord and Master of my life, take from me the spirit of sloth, despair, lust of power, and idle talk. But give rather the spirit of chastity, humility, patience, and love to Thy servant.

Didache 16 (Donaldson-Roberts Translation):

Watch for your life’s sake. Let not your lamps be quenched, nor your loins unloosed; but be ready, for you know not the hour in which our Lord will come. But come together often, seeking the things which are befitting to your souls: for the whole time of your faith will not profit you, if you are not made perfect in the last time. For in the last days false prophets and corrupters shall be multiplied, and the sheep shall be turned into wolves, and love shall be turned into hate; for when lawlessness increases, they shall hate and persecute and betray one another, and then shall appear the world-deceiver as Son of God, and shall do signs and wonders, and the earth shall be delivered into his hands, and he shall do iniquitous things which have never yet come to pass since the beginning. Then shall the creation of men come into the fire of trial, and many shall be made to stumble and shall perish; but those who endure in their faith shall be saved from under the curse itself. And then shall appear the signs of the truth: first, the sign of an outspreading in heaven, then the sign of the sound of the trumpet. And third, the resurrection of the dead – yet not of all, but as it is said: “The Lord shall come and all His saints with Him.” Then shall the world see the Lord coming upon the clouds of heaven. Lord Yeshua the Messiah, Son of the Living God, have mercy on us! Saints Gabriel Urgebadze, George-John Mkheidze, Raphael Hawaweeny of Brooklyn, Maria Skobtsova of Paris, John Maisuradze and Archangel Uriel pray for us always!

IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD from Gospel of John 1:1-17

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God; all things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. He came for testimony, to bear witness to the light, that all might believe through him. He was not the light, but came to bear witness to the light. The true light that enlightens every man was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world knew him not. He came to his own home, and his own people received him not. But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God; who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father. (John bore witness to him, and cried, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me ranks before me, for he was before me.’”) And from his fulness have we all received, grace upon grace. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. Господи Иисусе Христе, Сыне Божий, помилуй нас грешники! Lord Yeshua the Messiah, Son of Allah, have mercy on us! უფალო იესუ ქრისტე, ძეო ღმრთისაო, წმიდაო ღმერთო, წმიდაო ძლიერო, წმიდაო უკვდავო, შეგვიწყალენ ჩვენ.

Prophesy of Daniel 3:16-18, 3:23-24

Shadrach (Hananiah), Meshach (Mishael), and Abednego (Azariah) answered the king, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter. If it be so, our God whom we serve is in the heavens, able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace; and He will deliver us out of your hand, O king. But if not, be it known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image which you have set up.” And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell bound into the fiery furnace. And they walked about in the midst of the flames, singing hymns to God and blessing the Lord. प्रभु यीशु मसीह, परमेश्वर के सन्तान, हम पर दया कर! प्रभु येशू ख्रीष्ट, दया गरी हामीलाई सहायता गर्नुहोस्। राजा येशू ख्रीष्टको  कृपा हामीमा  रहोस्!

Yeshua Calms A Storm in Gospel of Mark 4.35-41:

On that day, when evening had come, He said to them, “Let us go across to the other side.” And leaving the crowd, they took Him with them in the boat, just as He was. And other boats were with Him. And a great storm of wind arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that the boat was already filling. But He was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they woke Him and said to Him, “Teacher, do you not care if we perish?” And He awoke and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. He said to them, “Why are you afraid? Have you no faith?” And they were filled with awe, and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even wind and sea obey Him?” Lord Yeshua the Messiah, True God, have mercy on us! प्रभु यीशु मसीह, परमेश्वर के सन्तान, हम पर दया कर!  We learn from St. Mark that, in the words of the St. Athanasius the Great, “The Lord Who rebuked (the storm) was not a creature, but rather its Creator.” St. Basil the Great further teaches us that “by these encounters we are meeting the Father of the Son, the Father Who creates through the Son. प्रभु यीशु मसीह, परमेश्वर के सन्तान, हम पर दया कर!

Matthew 17.1-9       प्रभु यीशु मसीह, परमेश्वर के सन्तान, हम पर दया कर! And after six days Jesus Yeshua took with him Peter and James and John his brother, and led them up a high mountain apart. And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his garments became white as light. And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him. And Peter said to Jesus Yeshua, “Lord, it is well that we are here; if you wish, I will make three booths here, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah.” He was still speaking, when lo, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him.” When the disciples heard this, they fell on their faces, and were filled with awe. But Jesus Yeshua came and touched them, saying, “Rise, and have no fear.” And when they lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus Yeshua only. And as they were coming down the mountain, Jesus Yeshua commanded them, “Tell no one the vision, until the Son of man is raised from the dead.” LORD YESHUA JESUS THE MESSIAH CHRIST, TRUE GOD, HAVE MERCY ON US!प्रभु यीशु मसीह, परमेश्वर के सन्तान, हम पर दया कर!

Luke 9:28–36                At that time, Jesus Yeshua took with him Peter and John and James, and went up on the mountain to pray. And as he was praying, the appearance of his countenance was altered, and his raiment became dazzling white. And behold, two men talked with him, Moses and Elijah, who appeared in glory and spoke of his departure, which he was to accomplish at Jerusalem. Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep, and when they wakened they saw his glory and the two men who stood with him. And as the men were parting from him, Peter said to Jesus Yeshua, “Master, it is well that we are here; let us make three booths, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah” - not knowing what he said. As he said this, a cloud came and overshadowed them; and they were afraid as they entered the cloud. And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, my Beloved; listen to him!” And when the voice had spoken, Jesus Yeshua was found alone. And they kept silence and told no one in those days anything of what they had seen. LORD JESUS CHRIST, SON OF THE LIVING GOD, HAVE MERCY UPON ME A SINNER!

Mark 9:2–8     प्रभु यीशु मसीह, परमेश्वर के सन्तान, हम पर दया कर! Now after six days Jesus Yeshua took Peter, James and John, and led them up on a high mountain apart by themselves; and He was transfigured before them. His clothes became shining, exceedingly white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them. And Elijah appeared to them with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus Yeshua. Then Peter answered and said to Jesus Yeshua, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one Elijah” because he did not know what to say, for they were greatly afraid. And a cloud came and overshadowed them, and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “THIS IS MY BELOVED SON, HEAR HIM!” Suddenly, when they had looked around, they saw no one anymore, but only Jesus Yeshua with themselves.  LORD JESUS CHRIST, SON OF THE LIVING GOD, HAVE MERCY UPON ME A SINNER!

Miracle at Cana John 2:1-11=On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus Yeshua was there. Now both Jesus Yeshua and His disciples were invited to the wedding. And when they ran out of wine, the Mother of Jesus Yeshua said to Him, “They have no wine.” Jesus Yeshua said to her, “Woman, what does your concern have to do with Me? My hour has not yet come.” His Mother said to the servants, “Whatever He says to you, do it.” Now there were set there six water pots of stone, according to the manner of purification of the Jews, containing twenty or thirty gallons a piece. Jesus Yeshua said to them, “Fill the water pots with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. And He said to them, “Draw some out now, and take it to the master of the feast.” And they took it.  When the master of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom. And he said to him, “Every man at the beginning sets out the good wine, and when the guests have well drunk, then the inferior. You have kept the good wine until now!” This beginning of signs Jesus Yeshua did in Cana of Galilee, and manifested His glory; and His disciples believed in Him.  प्रभु यीशु मसीह, परमेश्वर के सन्तान, हम पर दया कर!

YESHUA CASTS OUT DEMONS Luke 8:26-39       At that time, as Jesus YESHUA arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, there met him a man from the city who had demons; for a long time he had worn no clothes and he lived not in a house but among the tombs. When he saw Jesus YESHUA, he cried out and fell down before him, and said with a loud voice, “What have you to do with me, Jesus YESHUA, Son of the Most High God? I beseech you, do not torment me.” For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. (For many a time it had seized him; he was kept under guard, and bound with chains and fetters, but he broke the bonds and was driven by the demon into the desert.) Jesus YESHUA then asked him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Legion”; for many demons had entered him. And they begged him not to command them to depart into the abyss. Now a large herd of swine was feeding there on the hillside; and they begged him to let them enter these. So he gave them leave. Then the demons came out of the man and entered the swine, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned. When the herdsmen saw what happened, they fled, and told it in the city and in the country. Then people went out to see what had happened, and they came to Jesus YESHUA, and found the man from whom the demons had gone, sitting at the feet of Jesus YESHUA, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid. And those who had seen it told them how he who had been possessed with demons was healed. Then all the people of the surrounding country of the Gadarenes asked him to depart from them; for they were seized with great fear; so he got into the boat and returned. The man from whom the demons had gone begged that he might be with him; but he sent him away, saying, “Return to your home, and declare how much God has done for you.” And he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole city how much Jesus YESHUA had done for him.

YESHUA FEEDS THE FIVE THOUSAND in Matthew 14:13-21

When Jesus Yeshua heard it, He departed from there by boat to a deserted place by Himself. But when the multitudes heard it, they followed Him on foot from the cities. And when Jesus went out He saw a great multitude; and He was moved with compassion for them, and healed their sick. When it was evening, His disciples came to Him saying, “This is a deserted place. and the hour is already late. Send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages and buy themselves food.” But Jesus Yeshua said to them, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.” And they said to Him, “We have here only five loaves and two fish.” He said, “Bring them here to Me.” Then He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass. And He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke and gave the loaves to the disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitudes. So they all ate and were filled, and they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments that remained. Now those who had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children. प्रभु यीशु मसीह, परमेश्वर के सन्तान, हम पर दया कर! प्रभु यीशु मसीह, परमेश्वर के सन्तान, हम पर दया कर!

Yeshua Heals the Centurion’s Servant in Matthew 8:5-13

Now when Jesus Yeshua had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, pleading with Him, saying, “Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, dreadfully tormented.” And Jesus Yeshua said to him, “I will come and heal him.” The centurion answered and said, “Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed. For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.” When Jesus Yeshua heard it, He marveled, and said to those who followed, “Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel! And I say to you that many will come from east and west, and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. But the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” Then Jesus Yeshua said to the centurion, “Go your way; and as you have believed, so let it be done for you.” And his servant was healed that same hour. प्रभु यीशु मसीह, परमेश्वर के सन्तान, हम पर दया कर! प्रभु यीशु मसीह, परमेश्वर के सन्तान, हम पर दया कर!Abetu Geta Eyesus Kristos ye Egziabher lij yiqir belen!

Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing shall hurt you. Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you; but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.” In that same hour he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, “I thank thee, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to babes; yea, Father, for such was thy gracious will.   प्रभु यीशु मसीह, परमेश्वर के सन्तान, हम पर दया कर!

YESHUA RAISES THE DAUGHTER OF JAIRUS             Luke 8:41-56

LORD YESHUA JESUS THE MESSIAH CHRIST, SON OF THE LIVING GOD, HAVE MERCY UPON US SINNERS! प्रभु यीशु मसीह, परमेश्वर के सन्तान, हम पर दया कर! प्रभु यीशु मसीह, परमेश्वर के सन्तान, हम पर दया कर!     And there came a man named Jairus, who was a ruler of the synagogue; and falling at Jesus’ Yeshua’s feet he besought him to come to his house, for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. As he went, the people pressed round him. And a woman who had had a flow of blood for twelve years and could not be healed by any one, came up behind him, and touched the fringe of his garment; and immediately her flow of blood ceased. And Jesus Yeshua said, “Who was it that touched me?” When all denied it, Peter said, “Master, the multitudes surround you and press upon you!” But Jesus Yeshua said, “Some one touched me; for I perceive that power has gone forth from me.” And when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared in the presence of all the people why she had touched him, and how she had been immediately healed. And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace.” While he was still speaking, a man from the ruler’s house came and said, “Your daughter is dead; do not trouble the Teacher any more.” But Jesus Yeshua on hearing this answered him, “Do not fear; only believe, and she shall be well.” And when he came to the house, he permitted no one to enter with him, except Peter and John and James, and the father and mother of the child. And all were weeping and bewailing her; but he said, “Do not weep; for she is not dead but sleeping.” And they laughed at him, knowing that she was dead. But taking her by the hand he called, saying, “Child, arise.” And her spirit returned, and she got up at once; and he directed that something should be given her to eat. And her parents were amazed; but he charged them to tell no one what had happened. கர்த்தாவே இயேசு கிறிஸ்து, எங்களுக்கு இரங்கும்!

THOMAS SUNDAY      Gospel of John 20.19-31

On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus YESHUA came and stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.” When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. Jesus YESHUA said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.” And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.” Now Thomas, one of the twelve, called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus YESHUA came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails, and place my finger in the mark of the nails, and place my hand in his side, I will not believe.” Eight days later, his disciples were again in the house, and Thomas was with them. The doors were shut, but Jesus YESHUA came and stood among them, and said, “Peace be with you.” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side; do not be faithless, but believing.” Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus YESHUA said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe.” Now Jesus YESHUA did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written that you may believe that Jesus YESHUA is the Christ MESSIAH, the Son of God, and that believing you may have Life in His Name.

SAINT DEBORAH THE JUDGE      Judges 4:4-9, 4:15, 4:20-23, 5:31

At that time Deborah, a prophetess, wife of Lappidoth, was judging Israel. She used to sit under the palm of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim; and the Israelites came up to her for judgement. She sent and summoned Barak son of Abinoam from Kedesh in Naphtali, and said to him, ‘The Lord, the God of Israel, commands you, “Go, take position at Mount Tabor, bringing ten thousand from the tribe of Naphtali and the tribe of Zebulun. I will draw out Sisera, the general of Jabin’s army, to meet you by the Wadi Kishon with his chariots and his troops; and I will give him into your hand.”’ Barak said to her, ‘If you will go with me, I will go; but if you will not go with me, I will not go.’ And she said, ‘I will surely go with you; nevertheless, the road on which you are going will not lead to your glory, for the Lord will sell Sisera into the hand of a woman.’ Then Deborah got up and went with Barak to Kedesh. And the Lord threw Sisera and all his chariots and all his army into a panic before Barak; Sisera got down from his chariot and fled away on foot… Sisera said to her, ‘Stand at the entrance of the tent, and if anybody comes and asks you, “Is anyone here?” say, “No.”’ But Jael wife of Heber took a tent-peg, and took a hammer in her hand, and went softly to him and drove the peg into his temple, until it went down into the ground—he was lying fast asleep from weariness—and he died. Then, as Barak came in pursuit of Sisera, Jael went out to meet him, and said to him, ‘Come, and I will show you the man whom you are seeking.’ So he went into her tent; and there was Sisera lying dead, with the tent-peg in his temple. So on that day God subdued King Jabin of Canaan before the Israelites. Then the hand of the Israelites bore harder and harder on King Jabin of Canaan, until they destroyed King Jabin of Canaan. ‘So perish all your enemies, O Lord! But may your friends be like the sun as it rises in its might.’And the land had rest for forty years.

QUEEN SAINT ESTHER       Esther 2:5-7, 2:17, 9:29-32, 10:1-3

Now there was a Jew in the citadel of Susa whose name was Mordecai son of Jair son of Shimei son of Kish, a Benjaminite. Kish had been carried away from Jerusalem among the captives carried away with King Jeconiah of Judah, whom King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon had carried away. Mordecai had brought up Hadassah, that is Esther, his cousin, for she had neither father nor mother; the girl was fair and beautiful, and when her father and her mother died, Mordecai adopted her as his own daughter. The king loved Esther more than all the other women; of all the virgins she won his favour and devotion, so that he set the royal crown on her head and made her queen instead of Vashti… Queen Esther daughter of Abihail, along with the Jew Mordecai, gave full written authority, confirming this second letter about Purim. Letters were sent wishing peace and security to all the Jews, to the one hundred and twenty-seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, and giving orders that these days of Purim should be observed at their appointed seasons, as the Jew Mordecai and Queen Esther enjoined on the Jews, just as they had laid down for themselves and for their descendants regulations concerning their fasts and their lamentations. The command of Queen Esther fixed these practices of Purim, and it was recorded in writing. King Ahasuerus laid tribute on the land and on the islands of the sea. All the acts of his power and might, and the full account of the high honour of Mordecai, to which the king advanced him, are they not written in the annals of the kings of Media and Persia? For Mordecai the Jew was next in rank to King Ahasuerus, and he was powerful among the Jews and popular with his many kindred, for he sought the good of his people and interceded for the welfare of all his descendants.

YESHUA JESUS THE GOOD SHEPHERD in Gospel of John 10:11-18

“I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep. But a hireling, he who is not the shepherd, one who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf catches the sheep and scatters them. The hireling flees because he is a hireling and does not care about the sheep. I AM the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own. As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep. And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one shepherd. Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again. No ones takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from My Father.” 주(Ju) - Lord 예수(Yaysu) - Jesus 그리스도(Ke-ree-se-doe) - Christ 하느님의 (Ha-ne-nim-oui) - of God 아들이(ah-deul-ee) - son 우리를 불쌍히 여기소서!

YESHUA JESUS OF NAZARETH AT EMMAUS Luke 24:13-35 +++ Now on that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem, and talking with each other about all these things that had happened. While they were talking and discussing, Jesus YESHUA Himself came near and went with them, but their eyes were kept from recognizing Him. And he said to them, ‘What are you discussing with each other while you walk along?’ They stood still, looking sad. Then one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answered Him, ‘Are you the only stranger in Jerusalem who does not know the things that have taken place there in these days?’ He asked them, ‘What things?’ They replied, ‘The things about Jesus YESHUA of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people, and how our chief priests and leaders handed him over to be condemned to death and crucified him. But we had hoped that he was the one to redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things took place. Moreover, some women of our group astounded us. They were at the tomb early this morning, and when they did not find his body there, they came back and told us that they had indeed seen a vision of angels who said that HE was alive. Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said; but they did not see him.’ Then he said to them, ‘Oh, how foolish you are, and how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have declared! Was it not necessary that the Messiah should suffer these things and then enter into his glory?’ Then beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them the things about Himself in all the scriptures. As they came near the village to which they were going, he walked ahead as if he were going on. But they urged him strongly, saying, ‘Stay with us, because it is almost evening and the day is now nearly over.’ So he went in to stay with them. When he was at the table with them, he took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. Then their eyes were opened, and they recognized him; and he vanished from their sight. They said to each other, ‘Were not our hearts burning within us while he was talking to us on the road, while he was opening the scriptures to us?’ That same hour they got up and returned to Jerusalem; and they found the eleven and their companions gathered together. They were saying, ‘The Lord has risen indeed, and he has appeared to Simon!’ Then they told what had happened on the road, and how he had been made known to them in the breaking of the bread. 主耶穌基督，上帝之子, 怜悯我们。Zhǔ yēsū jīdū, shàngdì zhīzǐ, liánmǐn wǒmen.

PRAYER BEFORE RECEIVING HOLY COMMUNION: I believe, O Lord, and I confess that Thou art truly the Christ, the Son of the Living God, Who camest into the world to save sinners, of whom I am first. I believe also that this is truly Thine own pure Body, and that this is truly Thine own precious Blood. Therefore I pray Thee: have mercy upon me and forgive my transgressions both voluntary and involuntary, of word and of deed, of knowledge and of ignorance. And make me worthy to partake without condemnation of Thy most pure Mysteries, for the remission of my sins, and unto life everlasting. Amen. Of Thy Mystical Supper, O Son of God, accept me today as a communicant; for I will not speak of Thy Mystery to Thine enemies, neither like Judas will I give Thee a kiss; but like the thief will I confess Thee: Remember me, O Lord in Thy Kingdom. May the communion of Thy Holy Mysteries be neither to my judgment, nor to my condemnation, O Lord, but to the healing of soul and body. Amen. Kyrie Iesou Christe, Yie tou Theou, Eleison imas tous amartolous.  प्रभु यीशु मसीह, परमेश्वर के सन्तान, हम पर दया कर! Господи Иисусе Христе, Сыне Божий, помилуй нас грешники! Doamne Iisuse Hristoase, Fiul lui Dumnezeu, Miluieşte-ne pe noi pacatosii!

SPIRITUAL COMMUNION PRAYER: My Jesus YESHUA, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart.  I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You.  Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen. प्रभु यीशु मसीह, परमेश्वर के सन्तान, हम पर दया कर! Doamne Iisuse Hristoase, Miluieşte-ne pe noi pacatosii!

PRAYER AFTER RECEIVING HOLY COMMUNION:  I thank Thee, O Lord my God, for Thou hast not rejected me, a sinner, but hast made me worthy to be a partaker of Thy Holy Things. I thank Thee, for Thou hast permitted me, the unworthy, to commune of Thy most pure and Heavenly, Gifts. But, O Master Who lovest mankind, Who for our sakes didst die and rise again, and gavest us these awesome and life-creating Mysteries for the good and sanctification of our souls and bodies; let them be for the healing of our soul and body, the repelling of every adversary, the illumining of the eyes of my heart, the peace of my spiritual power, a faith unashamed, a love unfeigned, the fulfilling of wisdom, the observing of Thy commandments, the receiving of Thy divine grace, and the attaining of Thy Kingdom. Preserved by them in Thy holiness, may I always remember Thy grace and live not for myself alone, but for Thee, our Master and Benefactor. May I pass from this life in the hope of eternal life, and so attain to the everlasting rest, where the voice of those who feast is unceasing, and the gladness of those who behold the goodness of Thy countenance is unending. For Thou art the true desire and the ineffable joy of those who love Thee, O Christ our God, and all creation sings Thy praise forever. Amen. Kyrie Iesou Christe, Yie tou Theou, Eleison imas tous amartolous.  प्रभु यीशु मसीह, परमेश्वर के सन्तान, हम पर दया कर! Господи Иисусе Христе, Сыне Божий, помилуй нас грешники! Doamne Iisuse Hristoase, Fiul lui Dumnezeu, Miluieşte-ne pe noi pacatosii!

Saint Porphyrios Pascha Quote:      “Can I give you some advice? In your every sorrow, in your every failure, concentrate for a moment within yourself and say this hymn slowly-slowly. You will see that the greatest thing in your life – and in the life of the whole world – happened. The Resurrection of Christ, our salvation. And you will realize that everything that is upside down which is occurring will seem to you very small to spoil your mood.”  प्रभु यीशु मसीह, परमेश्वर के सन्तान, हम पर दया कर! เยซู นาย​ท่าน สงสาร​พวก​เรา​ด้วย​เถิด!  ข้าแต่พระเยซูคริสตเจ้า โปรดทรงพระเมตตาเทอญ !

Exodus 17: 8-16 FALL OF AMALEK /JOSHUA DEFEATS AMALEK

Then came Am′alek and fought with Israel at Reph′idim. And Moses said to Joshua, “Choose for us men, and go out, fight with Am′alek; tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in my hand.” So Joshua did as Moses told him, and fought with Am′alek; and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. Whenever Moses held up his hand, Israel prevailed; and whenever he lowered his hand, Am′alek prevailed. But Moses’ hands grew weary; so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat upon it, and Aaron and Hur held up his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side; so his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. And Joshua mowed down Am′alek and his people with the edge of the sword. And the Lord said to Moses, “Write this as a memorial in a book and recite it in the ears of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Am′alek from under heaven.” And Moses built an altar and called the name of it, The Lord is my banner, saying, “A hand upon the banner of the Lord! The Lord will have war with Am′alek from generation to generation.”  प्रभु यीशु मसीह, परमेश्वर के सन्तान, हम पर दया कर! Κύριε Ἰησοῦ Χριστέ, Υἱέ τοῦ Θεοῦ, ἐλέησον ἡμᾶς.

YESHUA JESUS KICKS OUT THE MONEY CHANGERS    +Matthew 21:12-13= And Jesus Yeshua entered the temple of God and drove out all who sold and bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons. He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer’; but you make it a den of robbers.”+Mark 11:15-17= And they came to Jerusalem. And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons; and he would not allow any one to carry anything through the temple. And he taught, and said to them, “Is it not written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations’? But you have made it a den of robbers.” +Luke 19:45-46= And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold, saying to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be a house of prayer’; but you have made it a den of robbers.” +John 2:13-16= The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus Yeshua went up to Jerusalem. In the temple he found those who were selling oxen and sheep and pigeons, and the money-changers at their business. And making a whip of cords, he drove them all, with the sheep and oxen, out of the temple; and he poured out the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables. And he told those who sold the pigeons, “Take these things away; you shall not make my Father’s house a house of trade.” Lạy Chua Giesu Kito, xin thương xót chúng tôi.

JACOB WRESTLES WITH ALLAH   Genesis 32:22-31 +The same night he got up and took his two wives, his two maids, and his eleven children, and crossed the ford of the Jabbok. He took them and sent them across the stream, and likewise everything that he had. Jacob was left alone; and a man wrestled with him until daybreak. When the man saw that he did not prevail against Jacob, he struck him on the hip socket; and Jacob’s hip was put out of joint as he wrestled with him. Then he said, “Let me go, for the day is breaking.” But Jacob said, “I will not let you go, unless you bless me.” So he said to him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Jacob.” Then the man said, “You shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel, for you have striven with God and with humans, and have prevailed.” Then Jacob asked him, “Please tell me your name.” But he said, “Why is it that you ask my name?” And there he blessed him. So Jacob called the place Peniel, saying, “For I have seen God face to face, and yet my life is preserved.” The sun rose upon him as he passed Penuel, limping because of his hip.

King David & Jonathan Make a Covenant in 1 Samuel 18:1-5

When David had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was bound to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. Saul took him that day and would not let him return to his father’s house. Then Jonathan made a covenant with David, because he loved him as his own soul. Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that he was wearing, and gave it to David, and his armour, and even his sword and his bow and his belt. David went out and was successful wherever Saul sent him; as a result, Saul set him over the army. And all the people, even the servants of Saul, approved.

JESUS YESHUA WALKS ON WATER + Matthew 14:22-34=Then he made the disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds. And after he had dismissed the crowds, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone, but the boat by this time was many furlongs distant from the land, beaten by the waves; for the wind was against them. And in the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea. But when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified, saying, “It is a ghost!” and they cried out for fear. But immediately he spoke to them, saying, “Take heart, it is I; have no fear.” And Peter answered him, “Lord, if it is you, bid me come to you on the water.” He said, “Come.” So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus YESHUA; but when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, “Lord, save me.” Jesus YESHUA immediately reached out his hand and caught him, saying to him, “O man of little faith, why did you doubt?” And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased. And those in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.” + Mark 6:45-53=Immediately he made his disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, to Beth’saida, while he dismissed the crowd. And after he had taken leave of them, he [YESHUA] went up on the mountain to pray. And when evening came, the boat was out on the sea, and he was alone on the land. And he saw that they were making headway painfully, for the wind was against them. And about the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea. [YESHUA] He meant to pass by them, but when they saw him walking on the sea they thought it was a ghost, and cried out; for they all saw him, and were terrified. But immediately he spoke to them and said, “Take heart, it is I; have no fear.” And he got into the boat with them and the wind ceased. And they were utterly astounded, for they did not understand about the loaves, but their hearts were hardened. + John 6:15-21=Perceiving then that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, Jesus YESHUA withdrew again to the mountain by himself. When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea, got into a boat, and started across the sea to Caper′na-um. It was now dark, and YESHUA Jesus had not yet come to them. The sea rose because a strong wind was blowing. When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus YESHUA walking on the sea and drawing near to the boat. They were frightened, but he said to them, “It is I; do not be afraid.” Then they were glad to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going. प्रभु यीशु मसीह, परमेश्वर के सन्तान, हम पर दया कर!

Sunday of Myrrhbearers in Gospel of Mark 15.43-16.8

At that time, Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent council member, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, coming and taking courage, went in to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus YESHUA. Pilate marveled that He was already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him if He had been dead for some time. So when he found out from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph. Then he bought fine linen, took Him down, and wrapped Him in the linen. And he laid Him in a tomb which had been hewn out of the rock, and rolled a stone against the door of the tomb. And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses observed where He was laid. Now when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, that they might come and anoint Him (YESHUA). Very early in the morning, on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen. And they said among themselves, “Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?” But when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away – for it was very large. And entering the tomb, they saw a young man clothed in a long white robe sitting on the right side; and they were alarmed. But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus YESHUA of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid Him. But go, tell His disciples – and Peter – that He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him, as He said to you. So they went out quickly and fled from the tomb, for they trembled and were amazed. And they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.

HOLY PENTECOST Acts of the Apostles 2:1-11 & Gospel of John 8:12

In those days, when the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven. And when this sound occurred, the multitude came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his own language. Then they were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, “Look, are not all these who speak Galileans? And how is it that we hear, each in our own language in which we were born? Parthians and Medes and Elamites, those dwelling in Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya adjoining Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabs – we hear them speaking in our own tongues the wonderful works of God. Jesus YESHUA The Messiah Christ of Nazareth spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”  प्रभु यीशु मसीह, परमेश्वर के सन्तान, हम पर दया कर!

ORTHODOX PRAYER AGAINST RACISM

Oh Lord, as You did cast down Pharoah and Antiochus, cast down the racists from their power. Help the people of color and the least of these and grant them Your joy and peace. Exalt the horn of Your elective poor and heal our nation from division.

Saint Maria Skobtsova the New Martyr of Paris Quotes:

Seigneur, Jésus Christ (Κύριε Ἰησοῦ Χριστέ), Fils de Dieu/ Fils de Bondye, aie pitié de nous/prends pitié de nous! Господи Иисусе Христе, Сыне Божий, помилуй нас грешники! “1. For church circles we are too far to the Left, while for the left we are too Church-Minded… 2. ‘Christification’ is based on the words, ‘It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.’ The image of God, the icon of Christ which truly is my real and actual essence is the only measure of things, the only way given to me…Christ gave us two commandments: to love God and to love our fellow man. Everything else, even the Beatitudes, are merely elaborations of the two commandments which contain within themselves the totality of Christ’s Good News…It is remarkable that their truth is found only in their indissolubility. Love for man alone leads us to the blind alley of anti-Christian humanism and the only way out of it is, at times, to reject man and love for him in the name of all mankind. But love for God without love for man is condemned…These two commandments are two aspects of a single truth. Destroy either one and you destroy the whole truth. 3. At the center of the Church’s life there is this sacrificial, self-giving eucharistic love, then where are the Church’s boundaries, where is the periphery of this center? Here it is possible to speak of the whole of Christianity as an eternal offering of the Divine Liturgy beyond church walls… It means that we must offer the bloodless sacrifice, the sacrifice of self-surrendering love not only in a specific place, upon the altar of a particular temple; the whole world becomes the single altar of a single temple, and for this universal Liturgy we must offer our hearts, like bread and wine, in order that they may be transubstantiated into Christ’s love, that he may be born in them, that they may become ‘Godmanhood’ hearts, and that he may give these hearts of ours as food for the world, that he may bring the whole world into communion with these hearts of ours that have been offered up, so that in this way we may be one with him, not so that we should live anew but so that Christ should live in us, becoming incarnate in our flesh, offering our flesh upon the Cross of Golgotha, Resurrecting our flesh, offering it as a sacrifice of love for the sins of the world, receiving it from us as a sacrifice of love to himself. Then truly in all ways Christ will be in all. 4. At the Last Judgment I shall not be asked whether I was successful in my ascetic exercises, nor how many bows and prostrations I made. Instead I shall be asked did I feed the hungry, clothe the naked, visit the sick and the prisoners. That is all I shall be asked. About every poor, hungry and imprisoned person the Savior says ‘I’: ‘I was hungry and thirsty, I was sick and in prison.’ To think that he puts an equal sign between himself and anyone in need.” Господи Иисусе Христе, Сыне Божий, помилуй нас грешники! Seigneur, Jésus Christ (Κύριε Ἰησοῦ Χριστέ), Fils de Dieu/ Fils de Bondye, aie pitié de nous/prends pitié de nous!

A prayer Elder Joseph Kottis the Hesychast would recite before beginning to pray:

Lord Jesus Christ, sweetest Father, God and Lord of mercy, and Creator of the entire universe: Look upon my humility and forgive all my sins which I have committed all the years of my life up to this very day and hour. Send forth Thine All Holy Spirit, the Comforter, so that He may teach, illuminate, and safeguard me so that I no longer sin, so that with a pure soul and heart I may adore, worship, glorify, thank, and love Thee with all my soul and heart, my sweetest Savior, Benefactor, and God, Who is worthy of all love and worship. Yes, good eternal Father, co-eternal Son, and All-Holy Spirit, count me worthy of enlightenment and divine spiritual knowledge, so that by beholding Thy sweet grace I may bear the burden of this vigil tonight, and render unto Thee my prayers and thanksgiving, through the intercessions of the Most Holy Theotokos and all the Saints. Amen.

SAINT PHOTINA/SVETLANA/PHOTINI OF SAMARIA [Gospel of John 4:5-42]

So HE [JESUS YESHUA] came to a Samaritan city called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob had given to his son Joseph. Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus YESHUA, tired out by his journey, was sitting by the well. It was about noon. A Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus YESHUA said to her, ‘Give me a drink’. (His disciples had gone to the city to buy food.) The Samaritan woman said to him, ‘How is it that you, a Jew, ask a drink of me, a woman of Samaria?’ (Jews do not share things in common with Samaritans.) Jesus YESHUA answered her, ‘If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, “Give me a drink”, you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.’ The woman said to him, ‘Sir, you have no bucket, and the well is deep. Where do you get that living water? Are you greater than our ancestor Jacob, who gave us the well, and with his sons and his flocks drank from it?’ Jesus YESHUA said to her, ‘Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, but those who drink of the water that I will give them will never be thirsty. The water that I will give will become in them a spring of water gushing up to eternal life.’ The woman said to him, ‘Sir, give me this water, so that I may never be thirsty or have to keep coming here to draw water.’ Jesus YESHUA said to her, ‘Go, call your husband, and come back.’ The woman answered him, ‘I have no husband.’ Jesus YESHUA said to her, ‘You are right in saying, “I have no husband”; for you have had five husbands, and the one you have now is not your husband.’ ‘What you have said is true!’ The woman said to him, ‘Sir, I see that you are a prophet. Our ancestors worshipped on this mountain, but you say that the place where people must worship is in Jerusalem.’ Jesus YESHUA said to her, ‘Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews. But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such as these to worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.’ The woman said to him, ‘I know that Messiah is coming’ (who is called Christ). ‘When he comes, he will proclaim all things to us.’ Jesus YESHUA said to her, ‘I am HE, the one who is speaking to you.’ Just then his disciples came. They were astonished that he was speaking with a woman, but no one said, ‘What do you want?’ or, ‘Why are you speaking with her?’ Then the woman left her water-jar and went back to the city. She said to the people, ‘Come and see a man who told me everything I have ever done! He cannot be the Messiah, can he?’ They left the city and were on their way to him. Meanwhile the disciples were urging him, ‘Rabbi, eat something.’ But he said to them, ‘I have food to eat that you do not know about.’ So the disciples said to one another, ‘Surely no one has brought him something to eat?’ Jesus YESHUA said to them, ‘My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to complete his work. Do you not say, “Four months more, then comes the harvest”? But I tell you, look around you, and see how the fields are ripe for harvesting. The reaper is already receiving wages and is gathering fruit for eternal life, so that sower and reaper may rejoice together. For here the saying holds true, “One sows and another reaps.” I sent you to reap that for which you did not labor. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.’ Many Samaritans from that city believed in him because of the woman’s testimony, ‘He told me everything I have ever done.’ So when the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to stay with them; and he stayed there for two days. And many more believed because of his word. They said to the woman, ‘It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this is truly the Savior of the world.’

Ethiopian Orthodox Akathist to Saint Mother Walatta Petros:

Hail to you, Walatta Petros, a garden! Wrapped in heavenly scent, you are shade for the doves, from the heat of misery that fills our world. Hail to you, Walatta Petros, a mirror! You reveal the Trinity in its holiness to everyone, high and low: now the faithful sit safe on dry ground. Hail to you, Walatta Petros, a light! Your preaching split the darkness and the foolish friends of this world ran eagerly toward repentance. Peace upon you! What no eye has seen nor ear ever heard, that mystery you chose as your wedding finery, refusing a life of luxury.  Hail to you, Walatta Petros, our mother! Strength of will carried you through the narrow gate —like thousands of martyrs before and the righteous monks of Waseef. Peace upon you and your forebear Shenoute, arrayed in the armor of chastity! Come, comfort our distress and woe; guard us while the whirlwind rages. Hail to you Walatta Petros, who brings harmony! May the power of your help outweigh the schemes of Satan and of men; may it veil us like a cloud. Peace upon you! We make a walled fortress from your aid; we fear not the assault of godless enemies when they rise against us. Peace upon you! For your children, the brothers and all the sisters— plead without ceasing in the presence of the Lord, that they may avoid temptation. Peace upon you! You escaped the snares of beastly inquity by carrying the guarantee of victory—the cross— as did the disciples of Saint Macarius. Hail to you, Walatta Petros! From the Four Creatures of Heaven to where the Holy Trinity is worshipped, raise the incense of our song— with a censer wrought of light! LORD JESUS YESHUA THE MESSIAH CHRIST, SON OF GOD, HAVE MERCY ON US SINNERS!

Epic Pascha Sermon of Saint John Chrysostom: प्रभु यीशु मसीह, परमेश्वर के सन्तान, हम पर दया कर! “If any man be devout and love God, let him enjoy this fair and radiant triumphal feast. If any man be a wise servant, let him rejoicing enter into the joy of his Lord. If any have labored long in fasting, let him now receive his recompense. If any have wrought from the first hour, let him today receive his just reward. If any have come at the third hour, let him with thankfulness keep the feast. If any have arrived at the sixth hour, let him have no misgivings; because he shall in nowise be deprived thereof. If any have delayed until the ninth hour, let him draw near, fearing nothing. If any have tarried even until the eleventh hour, let him, also, be not alarmed at his tardiness; for the Lord, who is jealous of his honor, will accept the last even as the first; he gives rest unto him who comes at the eleventh hour, even as unto him who has wrought from the first hour. And he shows mercy upon the last, and cares for the first; and to the one he gives, and upon the other he bestows gifts. And he both accepts the deeds, and welcomes the intention, and honors the acts and praises the offering. Wherefore, enter you all into the joy of your Lord; and receive your reward, both the first, and likewise the second. You rich and poor together, hold high festival. You sober and you heedless, honor the day. Rejoice today, both you who have fasted and you who have disregarded the fast. The table is full-laden; feast ye all sumptuously. The calf is fatted; let no one go hungry away. Enjoy ye all the feast of faith: Receive ye all the riches of loving-kindness. let no one bewail his poverty, for the universal kingdom has been revealed. Let no one weep for his iniquities, for pardon has shown forth from the grave. Let no one fear death, for the Savior’s death has set us free. He that was held prisoner of it has annihilated it. By descending into Hell, He made Hell captive. He embittered it when it tasted of His flesh. And Isaiah, foretelling this, did cry: Hell, said he, was embittered, when it encountered Thee in the lower regions. It was embittered, for it was abolished. It was embittered, for it was mocked. It was embittered, for it was slain. It was embittered, for it was overthrown. It was embittered, for it was fettered in chains. It took a body, and met God face to face. It took earth, and encountered Heaven. It took that which was seen, and fell upon the unseen. O Death, where is your sting? O Hell, where is your victory? Christ is risen, and you are overthrown. Christ is risen, and the demons are fallen. Christ is risen, and the angels rejoice. Christ is risen, and life reigns. Christ is risen, and not one dead remains in the grave. For Christ, being risen from the dead, is become the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep. To Him be glory and dominion unto ages of ages. Amen.” Saint John Chrysostom pray for us! LORD JESUS YESHUA THE MESSIAH CHRIST, SON OF GOD, HAVE MERCY ON US!

JUDITH CONQUERS HOLOFERNES in Book of Judith 13:2-17

So Judith was left alone in the tent, with Holofer′nes stretched out on his bed, for he was overcome with wine. Now Judith had told her maid to stand outside the bedchamber and to wait for her to come out, as she did every day; for she said she would be going out for her prayers. And she had said the same thing to Bago′as. So every one went out, and no one, either small or great, was left in the bedchamber. Then Judith, standing beside his bed, said in her heart, “O Lord God of all might, look in this hour upon the work of my hands for the exaltation of Jerusalem. For now is the time to help thy inheritance, and to carry out my undertaking for the destruction of the enemies who have risen up against us.” She went up to the post at the end of the bed, above Holofer′nes’ head, and took down his sword that hung there. She came close to his bed and took hold of the hair of his head, and said, “Give me strength this day, O Lord God of Israel!” And she struck his neck twice with all her might, and severed his head from his body. Then she tumbled his body off the bed and pulled down the canopy from the posts; after a moment she went out, and gave Holofer′nes’ head to her maid, who placed it in her food bag. Then the two of them went out together, as they were accustomed to go for prayer; and they passed through the camp and circled around the valley and went up the mountain to Bethu′lia and came to its gates. Judith called out from afar to the watchmen at the gates, “Open, open the gate! God, our God, is still with us, to show his power in Israel, and his strength against our enemies, even as he has done this day!” When the men of her city heard her voice, they hurried down to the city gate and called together the elders of the city. They all ran together, both small and great, for it was unbelievable that she had returned; they opened the gate and admitted them, and they kindled a fire for light, and gathered around them. Then she said to them with a loud voice, “Praise God, O praise him! Praise God, who has not withdrawn his mercy from the house of Israel, but has destroyed our enemies by my hand this very night!” Then she took the head out of the bag and showed it to them, and said, “See, here is the head of Holofer′nes, the commander of the Assyrian army, and here is the canopy beneath which he lay in his drunken stupor. The Lord has struck him down by the hand of a woman. As the Lord lives, who has protected me in the way I went, it was my face that tricked him to his destruction, and yet he committed no act of sin with me, to defile and shame me.” All the people were greatly astonished, and bowed down and worshiped God, and said with one accord, “Blessed art thou, our God, who hast brought into contempt this day the enemies of thy people.” Κύριε Ἰησοῦ Χριστέ, Προαιώνιος επίσκοπος (Πραγματικός Αρχηγός της Εκκλησίας), ἐλέησον ἡμᾶς.

JOSHUA SUCCEEDS MOSES Joshua 1:1-9

After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, the Lord said to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ minister, “Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, into the land which I am giving to them, to the people of Israel. Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given to you, as I promised to Moses. From the wilderness and this Lebanon as far as the great river, the river Euphra′tes, all the land of the Hittites to the Great Sea toward the going down of the sun shall be your territory. No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will not fail you or forsake you. Be strong and of good courage; for you shall cause this people to inherit the land which I swore to their fathers to give them. Only be strong and very courageous, being careful to do according to all the law which Moses my servant commanded you; turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success wherever you go. This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it; for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; be not frightened, neither be dismayed; for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” +++LORD JESUS YESHUA THE MESSIAH CHRIST, SON OF ALLAH/JEHOVAH/YAHWEH/JAH(GOD), THROUGH THE PRAYERS OF SAINT JOSHUA (JESUS) THE RIGHTEOUS SON OF NAVI (NUN), HAVE MERCY ON US SINNERS!!!!+++

+ JOSHUA REACHES THE PROMISED LAND + Joshua 3: 1-9

Early in the morning Joshua rose and set out from Shittim, with all the people of Israel; and they came to the Jordan, and lodged there before they passed over. At the end of three days the officers went through the camp and commanded the people, “When you see the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God being carried by the Levitical priests, then you shall set out from your place and follow it, that you may know the way you shall go, for you have not passed this way before. Yet there shall be a space between you and it, a distance of about two thousand cubits; do not come near it.” And Joshua said to the people, “Sanctify yourselves; for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you.” And Joshua said to the priests, “Take up the ark of the covenant, and pass on before the people.” And they took up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people. And the Lord said to Joshua, “This day I will begin to exalt you in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. And you shall command the priests who bear the ark of the covenant, ‘When you come to the brink of the waters of the Jordan, you shall stand still in the Jordan.’” And Joshua said to the people of Israel, “Come hither, and hear the words of the Lord your God.” Κύριε Ἰησοῦ Χριστέ, Προαιώνιος επίσκοπος (Πραγματικός Αρχηγός της Εκκλησίας), ἐλέησον ἡμᾶς.  MOST HOLY THEOTOKOS & SAINTS MOTHER MARY MAGDALENE THE APOSTLE TO THE APOSTLES, Mother Walatta Petros, Mother Maria Skobtsova the New Martyr of Paris, Father Seraphim Moshnin of Sarov, Vladika John Maximovitch the Wonderworker of Shanghai and San Francisco, Job Zhelezo of Pochaev, Gabriel Urgebadze, Raphael Hawaweeny of Brooklyn, George Karslidis the Righteous of Drama, John Jacob the Chozebite Romanian (Ioan Iacob Hozevitul), Paisios Eznepidis of Mount Athos, Pavel Peter Gojdič, Isidore of Seville, Grand Duchess Elizabeth Fyodorovna the New Martyr of Russia, Archbishop Iakovos Koukouzis of America, Father Moses the Black (Ethiopian), Porphyrios Bairaktaris of Kafsokalivia, Mister Fred McFeely Rogers, Lorraine Suvak, Amor Flores Monis, Mary Manya Salogub, Nektarios Kefalas of Aegina and Pentapolis, Ilya Elias Fondaminsky, George Yuri Skobtsov, Takla Haymanot of Ethiopia, Yared of Ethiopia, Alexander Hotovitzky, Phanourios of Rhodes, Ambrose of Milan, Sebastian Dabovich of Jackson and San Francisco, Olga Michael of Alaska, Florence Li Tim-Oi, Grigol Peradze, Gregory Palamas of Thessalonica, Maxim Sandovich of Gorlice, Vida Dutton Scudder, Florence Converse, Sergius, Bacchus, Bayard Rustin, Coretta Scott King, Silouan Antonov the Athonite, John Sergiyev of Kronstadt, Sophrony Sakharov of Essex, Florence Li Tim-Oi, and Mardarije Uskoković of Libertyville pray for us always!!!

And he said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do questionings rise in your hearts? See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself; handle me, and see; for a spirit has not flesh and bones as you see that I have.” And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet. And while they still disbelieved for joy, and wondered, he said to them, “Have you anything here to eat?” They gave him a piece of broiled fish, and he took it and ate before them. Then he said to them, “These are my words which I spoke to you, while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the law of Moses and the prophets and the psalms must be fulfilled.” Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures, and said to them, “Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be preached in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things. And behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you; but stay in the city, until you are clothed with power from on high.” Then he led them out as far as Bethany, and lifting up his hands he blessed them. While he blessed them, he parted from them and was carried up into heaven. And they worshiped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy, and were continually in the temple blessing God. +++ LORD JESUS YESHUA THE MESSIAH CHRIST, SON OF GOD, HAVE MERCY ON US SINNERS! +++ MOST HOLY THEOTOKOS & SAINTS MOTHER MARY MAGDALENE THE APOSTLE TO THE APOSTLES, Mother Walatta Petros, Mother Maria Skobtsova the New Martyr of Paris, Father Seraphim Moshnin of Sarov, Vladika John Maximovitch the Wonderworker of Shanghai and San Francisco, Job Zhelezo of Pochaev, Gabriel Urgebadze, Raphael Hawaweeny of Brooklyn, George Karslidis the Righteous of Drama, John Jacob the Chozebite Romanian (Ioan Iacob Hozevitul), Paisios Eznepidis of Mount Athos, Pavel Peter Gojdič, Isidore of Seville, Grand Duchess Elizabeth Fyodorovna the New Martyr of Russia, Archbishop Iakovos Koukouzis of America, Father Moses the Black (Ethiopian), Porphyrios Bairaktaris of Kafsokalivia, Mister Fred McFeely Rogers, Lorraine Suvak, Amor Flores Monis, Mary Manya Salogub, Nektarios Kefalas of Aegina and Pentapolis, Ilya Elias Fondaminsky, George Yuri Skobtsov, Takla Haymanot of Ethiopia, Yared of Ethiopia, Alexander Hotovitzky, Phanourios of Rhodes, Ambrose of Milan, Sebastian Dabovich of Jackson and San Francisco, Olga Michael of Alaska, Florence Li Tim-Oi, Grigol Peradze, Gregory Palamas of Thessalonica, Maxim Sandovich of Gorlice, Vida Dutton Scudder, Florence Converse, Sergius, Bacchus, Bayard Rustin, Coretta Scott King, Silouan Antonov the Athonite, John Sergiyev of Kronstadt, Sophrony Sakharov of Essex, Florence Li Tim-Oi, and Mardarije Uskoković of Libertyville pray for us always!!!

YESHUA’S ASCENSION from the Acts of the Apostles 1:6-11 (NOT the Gospel of Luke)

So when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has fixed by his own authority. But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh) has come upon you; and you shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samar′ia and to the end of the earth.” And when he had said this, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight. And while they were gazing into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white robes, and said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.” +++LORD JESUS YESHUA THE MESSIAH CHRIST, PRE-ETERNAL BISHOP, PRE-ETERNAL PATRIARCH & SON OF GOD, HAVE MERCY ON US SINNERS!

Hannah Offers Her Son Samuel Up To God in 1 Samuel 1:21-28

And the man Elka′nah and all his house went up to offer to the Lord the yearly sacrifice, and to pay his vow. But Hannah did not go up, for she said to her husband, “As soon as the child is weaned, I will bring him, that he may appear in the presence of the Lord, and abide there for ever.” Elka′nah her husband said to her, “Do what seems best to you, wait until you have weaned him; only, may the Lord establish his word.” So the woman remained and nursed her son, until she weaned him. And when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, along with a three-year-old bull, an ephah of flour, and a skin of wine; and she brought him to the house of the Lord at Shiloh; and the child was young. Then they slew the bull, and they brought the child to Eli. And she said, “Oh, my Lord! As you live, my Lord, I am the woman who was standing here in your presence, praying to the Lord. For this child I prayed; and the Lord has granted me my petition which I made to him. Therefore I have lent him to the Lord; as long as he lives, he is lent to the Lord.” LORD JESUS YESHUA THE MESSIAH CHRIST, SON OF ALLAH (GOD), THROUGH THE PRAYERS OF YOUR MOTHER MARIAM THE THEOTOKOS AND ALL THE SAINTS, HAVE MERCY ON US SINNERS!

And his mercy is on those who fear him from generation to generation. He has shown strength with his arm, he has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts, he has put down the mighty from their thrones, and exalted those of low degree; he has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent empty away.

Prayer to Saints Sergius & Bacchus: Oh glorious Martyrs, St. Sergius and St. Bacchus, your courage and love are an inspiration and joy to me. I call upon you now and beseech you to intercede for me to our Lord, God, Christ Almighty. You are the two servants of our Lord, whose trust in the One God, and Holy Trinity, was so great, that neither public humiliation, nor torture, nor even the threat of death could sway you from publicly proclaiming your faith in the Son of the Father, Jesus. Our God showed how proud He was of your love and courage, when after the death of Bacchus, when Sergius, being at his lowest and loneliest, began to lose heart, and so the Lord sent the spirit of Bacchus to Sergius. To allow him to console Sergius with the promise that the two of you would again be together in Heaven. I beseech you now to implore the Lord our God and pray (State your intention here…)  and that I may at the end of this life’s journey join you and all of the saints and angels and the elect in Heaven to behold the face of God and to praise God throughout eternity. I pray that you be at my side along with my guardian angel to guide and guard and encourage me throughout all the days of my life, but especially at those times when life seems to be most difficult and my sufferings seem to be greatest. Pray for me and watch over me St. Sergius and St. Bacchus. Amen. +Lord Jesus Yeshua the Messiah Christ, Son of God, through the prayers of Saints Sergius and Bacchus, have mercy on us sinners!+

King David’s Psalm (144) of Deliverance and Security

Blessed be the Lord, my rock, who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle; my rock and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield and he in whom I take refuge, who subdues the peoples under him. O Lord, what is man that thou dost regard him, or the son of man that thou dost think of him?Man is like a breath, his days are like a passing shadow. Bow thy heavens, O Lord, and come down! Touch the mountains that they smoke! Flash forth the lightning and scatter them, send out thy arrows and rout them! Stretch forth thy hand from on high, rescue me and deliver me from the many waters, from the hand of aliens, whose mouths speak lies, and whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood. I will sing a new song to thee, O God; upon a ten-stringed harp I will play to thee, who givest victory to kings, who rescuest David thy servant. Rescue me from the cruel sword, and deliver me from the hand of aliens, whose mouths speak lies, and whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood. May our sons in their youth be like plants full grown, our daughters like corner pillars cut for the structure of a palace; may our garners be full, providing all manner of store; may our sheep bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields; may our cattle be heavy with young, suffering no mischance or failure in bearing; may there be no cry of distress in our streets! Happy the people to whom such blessings fall! Happy the people whose God is the Lord! SEÑOR YESHUA EL MESIAS, HIJO DE ALÁ, TEN PIEDAD DE NOSOTROS! SEÑOR YESHUA EL MESIAS, HIJO DE ALÁ, TEN PIEDAD DE NOSOTROS! SEÑOR YESHUA EL MESIAS, HIJO DE ALÁ, TEN PIEDAD DE NOSOTROS!

7 Holy Sleepers of Ephesus (Tradition in Both Eastern Christianity & Islam):        “The Seven Youths hid themselves in a certain cave near Ephesus in the year 250 AD, to escape the persecution of Decius. By divine grace, a sleep came upon them and they slept for 184 years, until the reign of Saint Theodosius the Younger, when the doctrine of the resurrection was being assailed by heretics. They then awoke, that is, were resurrected, confirming in the sight of all the bodily resurrection; and again after a short time, by divine command, they reposed in the Lord in the year 434.” + + +  + LORD JESUS YESHUA THE MESSIAH CHRIST, SON OF GOD, through the prayers of the 7 Holy Youths “Seven Sleepers” of Ephesus, HAVE MERCY ON US SINNERS! + LORD JESUS YESHUA THE MESSIAH CHRIST, PRE-ETERNAL KING, PRE-ETERNAL BISHOP, PRE-ETERNAL PATRIARCH & SON OF GOD, through the most powerful prayers of the Seven Holy Sleepers of Ephesus; Maximilian, Iamblicus, Martinian, John, Dionysius, Exacustodianus (Constantine) and Antoninus, Holy Emperor Theodosius the Younger, Maria Skobtsova the New Martyr of Paris, Grand Duchess Elizabeth Fyodorovna the New Martyr, Moses the Ethiopian, Chiune Sugihara, Apostle Jude the Brother of the Lord Yeshua, Walatta Petros, Grigol Peradze, Gabriel Urgebadze, Matta El Meskeen, Joseph the Betrothed, Alexander Schmemann, Symeon the New Theologian, Theodora the Empress, Justinian I the Emperor, Constantine XI Palaeologus the last Byzantine Emperor, Dymphna the Wonderworker of Geel, Gregory Palamas, Takla Haymanot of Ethiopia, Florence Li Tim-Oi, Dorothy Day, Mister Fred McFeely Rogers, Barsanuphius Plikhankov of Optina, Pavel Peter Gojdič, Josephine (Giuseppina) Bakhita, André Bessette of Montreal, Yared of Ethiopia, Archangel Michael, Archangel Uriel, Thérèse Martin of the Child Yeshua of Lisieux and Seraphim Moshnin of Sarov, HAVE MERCY ON US SINNERS! +

YESHUA CLEANSES THE LEPERS in Luke 17:11-19 +++ On the way to Jerusalem he was passing along between Samar′ia and Galilee. And as he entered a village, he was met by ten lepers, who stood at a distance and lifted up their voices and said, “Jesus YESHUA, Master, have mercy on us.” When he saw them he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went they were cleansed. Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice; and he fell on his face at Jesus’ YESHUA’S feet, giving him thanks. Now he was a Samaritan. Then said Jesus YESHUA, “Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine? Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?” And he said to him, “Rise and go your way; your faith has made you well.” LORD JESUS YESHUA THE MESSIAH CHRIST, SON OF ALLAH (GOD), HAVE MERCY ON US SINNERS!

Training Orthodox Seminary Students & Clergy to Respond to Domestic Violence: Current Approaches & Lessons from around the World from Project dldl/ድልድል on Vimeo.

The need to teach students in seminaries about marriage, family relations, gender issues and domestic violence has become recognised in recent decades and us increasingly prioritised by theological colleges, seminaries and other religious training centres. However, how religious training institutions pursue this topic and instruct on it, what methodologies they employ to equip their students and future clergies or theologians with theological knowledge and pastoral preparedness to respond to difficult questions and family situations, including domestic abuse, has received less attention. In this webinar we were joined by specialists working in seminary education and clergy training to explore current approaches, share lessons and identify gaps or opportunities that may exist.

The speakers included colleagues that project dldl/ድልድል closely collaborates with in Ethiopia and Eritrea as well as specialists from other parts of the world to capture the diversity in approaches and understandings currently and to achieve knowledge exchange that can improve the ways in which seminary students and future clergies are provided with training and preparation to address difficult topics and issues around marriage in their specific contexts. The second part of the webinar discussed how the specific homilies of St John Chrysostom on marriage and related topics can become resourceful for preparing clergy and theologians to teach about marriage and against any form of domestic violence.

The event was chaired by Dr Romina Istratii, PI of project dldl/ድልድል, and supported by Ms Mebrak Ghebreweldi, director of DRI and project facilitator in Eritrea.
