The Sixth Sunday of Lent
The story tells us that The Jews were celebrating a great feast that day and the LORD JESUS was teaching in the Temple and as HE was walking out of the Temple He saw a man who was born blind
The LORD JESUS stood by the borne blind man and said “John 9:5 As long as I am in the world, I am the Light of the world.” To give proof for that HE spat on the ground and made clay, put the clay on the eyes of the blind man, and said to him, “Go, wash in the Pool of Siloam.” So he went off and washed, and returned able to see.
Today we celebrate Baptismal Sunday, on this day in the early church, baptize the catechumens who are ready for baptism before the Great Week of the Passion to join the Church and participate in the week of the Passion and the Feast of Easter.
You might say thank God I was baptized and became a son of the Lord or a daughter of the Lord and the light entered me. But hear our teacher St Paul the Apostle tell you what.
Walk in? …CHRIST JESUS…. Walk in the light…. Walk as children of GOD. Baptism is the beginning – this is the beginning – in baptism remain the son of light, do not turn back, and throw yourself into the darkness. Never again walk in the dark
Today is a feast. We call it the Sunday of light, May God grant us the heavenly light, so that we may live as children of light, and not as children of darkness.
Feast of the Annunciation
تحتفل الكنيسة اليوم بعيد البشارة ويأتى عيد البشارة كل عام يوم 29 برمهات ، بينه وبين عيد الميلاد تسعة أشهر هى فترة الحبل المقدس بالسيد المسيح . بهذا يكون عيد البشارة هو اول الأعياد السيدية من حيث ترتيب أحداث التجسد فلولا البشارة وحلول السيد المسيح فى بطن العذراء ما كانت بقية الأعياد ، لذلك الآباء يسمونه أصل الأعياد .
فى هذل العيد نذكر بشارة الملاك جبرائيل للسيدة العذراء بانها ستحبل وتلد ابناً وتسميه يسوع ، فالله يستأذن من السيدة العذراء أن يحل فيها ويأخذ منها ناسوتاً وهى صنع يديه، ان الله يحترم حريتنا وارادتنا الشخصية حتى وهو يهبنا أعظم النعم
شفاعة امنا العذراء تكون معنا آمين
Feast of the Annunciation
Today, the Church celebrates the Feast of the Annunciation, and the Feast of the Annunciation comes every year on the 29th of Bramhat, with nine months between it and Christmas, which is the period of the Holy Conception of the LORD JESUS CHRIST. Thus, the Feast of the Annunciation is the first of the Lord’s feasts in terms of the order of the events of the incarnation. If it were not for the Annunciation and the dwelling of the LORD JESUS CHRIST in the womb of the Virgin, the rest of the feasts would not have occurred. That is why the fathers call it the origin of the feasts.
On this Feast, we remember the good news of the Arch Angel Gabriel to the Virgin Mary that she would conceive and give birth to a son and name him. GOD almighty asks permission from the Virgin Mary to dwell in her and take from her humanity when she is the creation of HIS hands. GOD respects our freedom and our will even as HE grants us the greatest blessings.
The intercession of our Virgin Mother is with us, Amen.
