FAITH AND WORKS
Faith is “a confidence or trust in God”. Faith gives assertion to the things we hope for and explains the things that we cannot see.
The Mesekel holiday is celebreated on Meskerem 17 (27th of September) and Megabit 10 (19th of March). The word Meskel means, Cross, and the feast commemorates the finding of the True Cross by St. Helena.
The Ascension of St Mary (part two)
Moreover, Whilst John the evangelist was preaching in the country of Asia, on the sixteenth day of the month of Nahasse, he was caught up in the spirit to the Garden of Delight, and he saw our Lord Jesus Christ sitting by the Tree of Life, where was the body of our Lady Mary, and He commanded His Seven Angels to summon her from the Garden of Delight. And they said unto the Garden, “God, our Lord Jesus Christ, commandeth that the body of His pure mother shall go forth.
The Ascension of St Mary (part one)
"At your right hand stands the queen." (Psalm 45:9)
IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER AND THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT, ONE GOD. AMEN.
Today we celebrate the feast of the commemoration of the Ascension of the pure body of Our Lady Mary, the God-bearer, into heaven. This feast is celebrated at the end of a two week long fast, the tsome filseta, as per the order of Our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, and His holy apostles
The Fast of Assumption of the Virgin Mary
This fast lasts from Nehassie (August) 1 to 16. Our Lady departed on 21 of Ter (January) in 50 A.D. while the Apostles were taking her body for burial at Gethsemani, the Jewish priests dispersed them.
“Blessed is he that considereth the poor” Ps. 41:1
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, One God Amen.
The basic necessities of life are, as Joshua Ben Sirach in his book says “water, and bread, and clothing, and an house to cover shame.” Sirach 29:2. Those who can’t afford these necessities are termed as “poor”. Of course, those who need help are not only the poor but also the terminally ill, disabled, the orphaned and elders who do not have care takers.
The Fast of Wednesdays and Fridays
Every week Wednesdays and Fridays are observed as fast days except during the fifty days (between Easter and Pentecost), and on the days of Christmas and Epiphany, when these feasts fall on these days. The reason why Wednesdays and Friday are fast days is as follows.
The Fast of the Apostles
The Apostles observed this fast after they received the Holy Spirit and before they set out to proclaim the Gospel. The Church has laid down a rule for the faithful to observe this fast starting from the day immediately after whit Sunday.
The feast Of Pentecost
IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER AND THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT, ONE GOD.
On this day the Holy Spirit descended upon the Apostles, ten days after the Ascension of our Lord Jesus Christ into heaven.
Ascension
After the Lord Jesus Christ had finished the operation of His wisdom upon earth, by His Passion, and His Death, and His Resurrection, He appeared to the Apostles and taught them for 40 days. On the 40th day of His rising, as he had told the Apostles before, He again told them of the descending of the Holy Spirit, He ascended into the heavens, seated upon the wings of the Cherubim, and the Seraphim, and the wings of the winds.
