أهل التحزب و التعصب الأعمى

وَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ هُمْ مِنْ أَهْلِ التَّحَزُّبِ، وَلاَ يُطَاوِعُونَ لِلْحَقِّ بَلْ يُطَاوِعُونَ لِلإِثْمِ، فَسَخَطٌ وَغَضَبٌ،" (رو ٢: ٨).

التحزبات لا تنتج سوى الكره والبغض والشقاق للجميع.
"لأَنَّهُ حَيْثُ الْغَيْرَةُ وَالتَّحَزُّبُ، هُنَاكَ التَّشْوِيشُ وَكُلُّ أَمْرٍ رَدِيءٍ." (يع ٣: ١٤).

التحزب يجلب الكبرياء ورفض سماع وجهة نظر الآخر .. أما المحبة فهي ضد التحزب، تتأنى وترفق ولا تحتد ولا تظن السوء ولا تطلب ما لنفسها.

"لَكِنْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ مِثْلَ الْوُحُوشِ، وَاحِدٌ يَعُضُّ الْآخَرَ، وَوَاحِدٌ يَفْتَرِسُ الْآخَرَ، فَاحْذَرُوا لِئَلَّا تُفْنُوا بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا. "
(غل ٥: ١٥)

فلا تتعصب لأمر لا تعرفه جيدا و لا تتسرع بأن تدين طرف ضد الآخر .. لا تتحيز و لا تنجرف مع رأى الاغلبية.

"لاَ تَقْبَلْ خَبَرًا كَاذِبًا، وَلاَ تَضَعْ يَدَكَ مَعَ الْمُنَافِقِ لِتَكُونَ شَاهِدَ ظُلْمٍ... لاَ تَتْبَعِ الْكَثِيرِينَ إِلَى فِعْلِ الشَّرِّ، وَلاَ تُجِبْ فِي دَعْوَى مَائِلًا وَرَاءَ الْكَثِيرِينَ لِلتَّحْرِيفِ." (خر ٢٣ : ١-٢)

و لا تسرع للمحاباة لخدمة مصالحك و راحتك..
"مُحَابَاةُ الْوُجُوهِ لَيْسَتْ صَالِحَةً، فَيُذْنِبُ الإِنْسَانُ لأَجْلِ كِسْرَةِ خُبْزٍ." (أم ٢٨: ٢١)

على قدر المستطاع، كن حكيمآ .. والحكيم يبتعد عن التحزب والشقاقات، لا ينجرف الى المجادلات الغبية و يرفض الرياء ... فالحكيم يجمع و لا يفرق.

"ولكن إن كان لكم غيرة مرة وتحزب في قلوبكم فلا تفتخروا وتكذبوا على الحق .ليست هذه الحكمة نازلة من فوق بل هي ارضية نفسانية شيطانية." (يع ٣: ١٤)

نجنا يا رب من روح التحزب والفرقة... احفظ نفوسنا من التشويش والبلبة و أعطنا ان نكون حكماء فى هذا الزمن الردىء.

Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?” ( Romans 8:35 ).

aladra that solved iron,
Solve every difficult and extreme life 🤲
- Feast of Our Lady Iron State ♥️

The whole story 😍👇
After the Lord of Glory ascended to the heavens
It happened that he appeared to his mother the virgin mary during her stay
In Jerusalem and he said to her, “Peace be upon you, my beloved mother,
Mother, I ask you to rise and ride this light cloud
And he goes to the city of Bartas to get rid of Matias.
Because he is bound with chains of iron and in the great severity of the unbelievers
People of that city, and mother believe me that salvation and faith of that city
Your prayers will be in your hands and they will glorify God
For you my loving mother".

The Virgin Mary rode the cloud
The one who drove her to the city of Bartus
Where I saw an old woman crying, I felt sorry for her.
And she asked her why she was crying, and the old man told her that her son was tortured.
Who is an impure spirit from three days ago and she wanted to be Matias
Who has performed many miracles and cast out many devils,
But the governor ordered him to be arrested and thrown in jail,
The virgin asked her to see her son, and the woman pleaded with her
The virgin went with her to her home and the virgin came in
The house healed its son because the devil could not bear her being in the house.
Then the old lady took the virgin lady to Matias prison
And there I prayed a fervent prayer from the heart, so that the iron of the prison and chains melted.
And the sword became the iron of the town, all liquid at once.
Matias the Messenger was released from prison, along with all the messengers.

The head of the prison ran away and was cut by the Zouban Alhadid event
The messengers went out and the guards couldn't prevent them because every machine is a sword
And all the metals have completely melted, and as he speaks, I entered the valley
A group of carpenters and blacksmiths complaining that their machines are melting,
The guardian was surprised and sent begging the virgin to come
And his son was healed, so she sought his request, and she drove the demons out with her prayers
He recovered and returned to his senses, so he trusted the guardian and asked her to put back the iron
To its stiffness, and I asked God to return iron and all the melted metals
To her firmness.

So all the inhabitants of the city believed in the Lord Jesus after he was healed by her prayers
All their patients and Matias Al-Rassoul settled in the city
And he began to teach them the faith of Christ, and the virgin returned
To Jerusalem again on a light cloud
God restored her after she had fulfilled what Jesus Christ asked of her
In the city of Bartus.

May the blessing of the intercession of the Virgin Mary and the Matias of the Prophet be with us.
Amen🙏🙏🙏

Blessed fast of the apostles .
Blessed servants of the Lord Fasting 🙏🙏

The Apostles Fast
June 24 - July 11, 2024
Paone 17 - Epip 4, 1740

Today marks the beginning the Apostles Fast and we pray that all the blessings of this fast be with you all.

"But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them; then they will fast in those days." (Luke 5:35; Matthew 9:15; Mark 2:20)

Just as the apostles served the Lord Jesus Christ and later provided leadership to the first generation Christian believers, let this fast help us to be true witnesses of our Lord Jesus Christ keeping the glory of God and our faith as the center point for overcoming any hardships within or without of the service.

May the Lord continue to let His church grow and multiply throughout the world.

Blessed Feast of Pentecost 2024.

“The Lord promised to send the Comforter who would join us to God. For as a compacted lump of dough cannot be formed of dry wheat without liquid, nor a loaf be baked, so neither could we, being many, be made one in Christ Jesus without the water from heaven. And as dry earth does not bring forth fruit unless it receives moisture, in like manner, we also, being originally a dry tree, could never have brought forth fruit unto life without the voluntary rain from above.”
St. Irenaeus of Lyons.

Dear God, I come to you today with a heavy heart and ask for your comfort and strength. I know that you are a loving God who cares for me, and I trust in your endless mercy.

I ask that you wrap your loving arms around me and provide me with a sense of peace and calm in the midst of my struggles. May I feel your presence and know that I am not alone.

Grant me the courage to face my challenges with determination, and give me the strength to keep going even when things seem impossible. Help me to find joy in the midst of my pain and know that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel.

I trust in your plan for my life and know that everything happens for a reason. Please guide me and give me the wisdom to make the right decisions, and may I always trust in your love and guidance.

Thank you for being there for me in good times and bad, and for being my rock and refuge. I ask these things in your holy name. Amen.

June 1 , 24 of Bashans
The Coptic Orthodox Church celebrates the entry of lord Jesus Christ and the holy family into the land of Egypt 🙏

✝️May the peace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.🤍🙏

The visit of our Lord Jesus Christ to Egypt was a blessing to its people. Egypt was the only country visited by the Lord Jesus with the exception of Palestine. The visit prepared the Egyptians for the dawning of Christianity, which would occur approximately forty years later at the hands of the apostle, St. Mark. The Holy Family sought shelter in Egypt until the death of King Herod. It is interesting to note that the Lord Jesus as a child did not use His power. He fled to Egypt although He had authority over Herod's soul. When an angel instructed St. Joseph to return to Palestine, the Holy Family left Egypt. This fulfilled what the Old Testament prophecy had foretold, "When Israel was a child, then I loved Him, and called my Son out of Egypt" (Hosea 11:1).
Egypt was chosen by God as a place of refuge and truly the people abiding there were richly blessed.
"In that day shall be an altar to the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt and a pillar at the border there of to the Lord. And it shall be for a sign and a witness unto the Lord of Hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the Lord because of the oppression and He shall send them a Savior and a Great One and He shall deliver them...whom the Lord of Hosts shall bless saying, BLESSED BE EGYPT, MY PEOPLE..." (Isaiah 19:19-25).

Don't be overly affected by people's opinions... their judgments are usually unfair.

Don't rejoice in their praise, and don't be upset by their criticism... God will not consider their opinions on the last day.

They judged Christ as a deceiver...
Those who cheered for Him on Palm Sunday, cheered against Him on the day of the cross.

Their view and judgment of the woman who poured the fragrant oil were the opposite of Christ's view and opinion...
Care about Christ's opinion of you. And that is enough.
H.G. Bishop Anba Raphael
