Stand in the fear of God and listen to the Holy Gospel. A reading from the Gospel according to our teacher Saint Luke the Evangelist. May His Blessings be with us all. From the Psalms of our teacher David the prophet. May his blessings be with us all.

Psalms 71:6,7
He shall come down like rain upon the grass before mowing, Like showers that water the earth. In His days the righteous shall flourish, And abundance of peace, Until the moon is no more.

Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Our Lord God, Savior, and King of us all, Jesus Christ, the Living Son of God to whom be glory forever. Amen.

Luke 11:20-28
But if I cast out demons with the finger of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you. When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are in peace. But when a stronger than he comes upon him and overcomes him, he takes from him all his armor in which he trusted, and divides his spoils. He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters. "When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, I will return to my house from which I came. And when he comes, he finds it swept and put in order. Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first." And it happened, as He spoke these things, that a certain woman from the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, "Blessed is the womb that bore You, and the breasts which nursed You!" But He said, "More than that, blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it!"

And Glory be to God forever

Catholic Epistle
 

A Reading from the first Epistle of St. John. May his blessing be upon us. Amen

1 John 1:1-2:6
That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you that eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ. And these things we write to you that your joy may be full. This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us. My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world. Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. He who says, "I know Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.

Do not love the world or the things in the world. The world passes away, and its desires; but he who does the will of God abides forever. Amen.

١ يَا أَوْلَادِي، أَكْتُبُ إِلَيْكُمْ هَذَا لِكَيْ لَا تُخْطِئُوا. وَإِنْ أَخْطَأَ أَحَدٌ فَلَنَا شَفِيعٌ عِنْدَ ٱلْآبِ، يَسُوعُ ٱلْمَسِيحُ ٱلْبَارُّ. ٢ وَهُوَ كَفَّارَةٌ لِخَطَايَانَا. لَيْسَ لِخَطَايَانَا فَقَطْ، بَلْ لِخَطَايَا كُلِّ ٱلْعَالَمِ أَيْضًا.
٣ وَبِهَذَا نَعْرِفُ أَنَّنَا قَدْ عَرَفْنَاهُ: إِنْ حَفِظْنَا وَصَايَاهُ. ٤ مَنْ قَالَ: «قَدْ عَرَفْتُهُ» وَهُوَ لَا يَحْفَظُ وَصَايَاهُ، فَهُوَ كَاذِبٌ وَلَيْسَ ٱلْحَقُّ فِيهِ. ٥ وَأَمَّا مَنْ حَفِظَ كَلِمَتَهُ، فَحَقًّا فِي هَذَا قَدْ تَكَمَّلَتْ مَحَبَّةُ ٱللهِ. بِهَذَا نَعْرِفُ أَنَّنَا فِيهِ: ٦ مَنْ قَالَ: إِنَّهُ ثَابِتٌ فِيهِ يَنْبَغِي أَنَّهُ كَمَا سَلَكَ ذَاكَ هَكَذَا يَسْلُكُ هُوَ أَيْضًا.

Acts of the Apostles
 

The Acts of our fathers the apostles, may their blessings be with us.

Acts of the Apostles 7:23-34
"Now when he was forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren, the children of Israel. And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended and avenged him who was oppressed, and struck down the Egyptian. For he supposed that his brethren would have understood that God would deliver them by his hand, but they did not understand. And the next day he appeared to two of them as they were fighting, and tried to reconcile them, saying, Men, you are brethren; why do you wrong one another? But he who did his neighbor wrong pushed him away, saying, Who made you a ruler and a judge over us? Do you want to kill me as you did the Egyptian yesterday? Then, at this saying, Moses fled and became a dweller in the land of Midian, where he had two sons. "And when forty years had passed, an Angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire in a bush, in the wilderness of Mount Sinai. When Moses saw it, he marveled at the sight; and as he drew near to observe, the voice of the Lord came to him, saying, I am the God of your fathers the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses trembled and dared not look. Then the LORD said to him, "Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground. I have surely seen the oppression of My people who are in Egypt; I have heard their groaning and have come down to deliver them. And now come, I will send you to Egypt."

The word of the Lord shall grow, multiply, be mighty, and be confirmed, in the holy Church of God. Amen.

أع 7: 23- 34
٢٣ وَلَمَّا كَمِلَتْ لَهُ مُدَّةُ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً، خَطَرَ عَلَى بَالِهِ أَنْ يَفْتَقِدَ إِخْوَتَهُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٢٤ وَإِذْ رَأَى وَاحِدًا مَظْلُومًا حَامَى عَنْهُ، وَأَنْصَفَ ٱلْمَغْلُوبَ، إِذْ قَتَلَ ٱلْمِصْرِيَّ. ٢٥ فَظَنَّ أَنَّ إِخْوَتَهُ يَفْهَمُونَ أَنَّ ٱللهَ عَلَى يَدِهِ يُعْطِيهِمْ نَجَاةً، وَأَمَّا هُمْ فَلَمْ يَفْهَمُوا. ٢٦ وَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّانِي ظَهَرَ لَهُمْ وَهُمْ يَتَخَاصَمُونَ، فَسَاقَهُمْ إِلَى ٱلسَّلَامَةِ قَائِلًا: أَيُّهَا ٱلرِّجَالُ، أَنْتُمْ إِخْوَةٌ. لِمَاذَا تَظْلِمُونَ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا؟ ٢٧ فَٱلَّذِي كَانَ يَظْلِمُ قَرِيبَهُ دَفَعَهُ قَائِلًا: مَنْ أَقَامَكَ رَئِيسًا وَقَاضِيًا عَلَيْنَا؟ ٢٨ أَتُرِيدُ أَنْ تَقْتُلَنِي كَمَا قَتَلْتَ أَمْسِ ٱلْمِصْرِيَّ؟ ٢٩ فَهَرَبَ مُوسَى بِسَبَبِ هَذِهِ ٱلْكَلِمَةِ، وَصَارَ غَرِيبًا فِي أَرْضِ مَدْيَانَ، حَيْثُ وَلَدَ ٱبْنَيْنِ.

The Twenty Ninth Day of the Blessed Coptic Month of Paremhotep, may God make it always received, year after year, with reassurance and tranquility, while our sins are forgiven by the tender mercies of our God my fathers and brothers, Amen.

Annunciation of the Divine conception and the Glorious Birth our Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ to Saint Mary

On this day the church commemorates the Annunciation of our Lady, the Theotokos, the Virgin St. Mary. When the appointed time by God since eternity for the salvation of the human race had come, God sent Gabriel the Archangel to the Virgin St. Mary, who is from the tribe of Judah the house of king David, to announce her with the Divine conception and the Glorious Birth as the Holy Scriptures testifies: ' Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin's name was Mary. And having come in, the angel said to her, 'Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!' But when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and considered what manner of greeting this was. Then the angel said to her, 'Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 'And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name JESUS. 'He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. 'And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.' Then Mary said to the angel, 'How can this be, since I do not know a man?' And the angel answered and said to her, 'The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God.

Then the angel gave her the proof of the validity of his massage: 'Now indeed, Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son in her old age; and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren. 'For with God nothing will be impossible.' Then Mary said, 'Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word.' And the angel departed from her. (Luke 1:26-36) When she had accepted this Divine Annunciation, the Only Begotten Son, the Word of God, who is One of the Three eternal Persons, came and dwelt in her womb, a dwelling, the human race cannot comprehend. And straightway He united with perfect humanity a complete unity inseparable and unchangeable after the unity. This day then is the first-born of all feasts, for in it was the beginning of the salvation of the world which was fulfilled by the Holy Resurrection of our Lord, saving Adam and his offspring from the hands of Satan.
We ask Our God and Savior graciously to forgive our transgressions and excuse our sins. Amen.

Commemoration of Resurrection of Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ from the Dead

On this day also the salvation was completed by the holy Resurrection, for Our Lord when he had finished His work upon earth, during a period of thirty three years, suffered of His own free will on the eve of the twenty-seventh day of this month, and He rose from the dead on this very day. As it was on this very day the incarnation of Christ was announced to the people of the world who were awaiting Him. On Friday, the living and the dead rejoiced in their Salvation, and on Sunday the living became certain of it, and they knew of their resurrection by the Resurrection of the body of Christ, Who was the first-fruits of the dead as the apostle Paul Said: 'But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the first-fruits of those who have fallen asleep.' (1 Corinthians 15:20)
We ask Him according to His great mercy and His compassion that He may grant us the forgiveness of our sins. Amen.


May His prayers be with us and Glory be to our God forever. Amen.

اليوم التاسع والعشرون من شهر امشير المبارك، أحسن الله انقضاؤه، وأعاده علينا وعليكم ونحن وأنتم في هدوء وأطمئنان، مغفوري الخطايا والاثام والزلات، من قبل مراحم الرب ياأبائي وأخوتي. امين.
 

في هذا اليوم تحتفل الكنيسة بتذكار بشارة أمنا والدة الإله العذراء القديسة مريم وذلك أنه لما جاء الوقت المعين منذ الأزل من الله لخلاص البشر . أرسل الله رئيس الملائكة جبرائيل إلى القديسة مريم البتول التي من سبط يهوذا ومن قبيلة داود الملك ليبشرها بالحبل الإلهي والميلاد المجيد . كما شهد بذلك الكتاب المقدس بقوله : في الشهر السادس أرسل جبرائيل الملاك من الله إلى مدينة من الجليل اسمها ناصرة إلى عذراء مخطوبة لرجل من بيت داود اسمه يوسف واسم العذراء مريم فدخل إليها الملاك وقال : سلام لك آيتها الممتلئة نعمة . الرب معك مباركة أنت في النساء فلما رأته اضطربت من كلامه وفكرت ما عسي أن تكون هذه التحية فقال لها الملاك " لا تخافي يا مريم لأنك قد وجدت نعمة عند الله وها أنت ستحلبين وتلدين أبنا وتسمينه يسوع هذا يكون عظيما وابن العلي يدعي ويعطيه الرب الإله كرسي داود أبيه ويملك علي بيت يعقوب إلى الأبد و لا يكون لملكه نهاية’ " فقالت مريم للملاك " كيف يكون هذا وأنا لست أعرف رجلا ؟ " فأجاب الملاك وقال لها " الروح القدس يحل عليك وقوة العلي تظللك فلذلك أيضا القدوس المولود منك يدعي ابن الله "

ثم قدم لها دليلا علي صدق بشارته قائلا : " هوذا اليصابات نسيبتك هي أيضا حبلي بابن في شيخوختها وهذا هو الشهر السادس لتلك المدعوة عاقرا , لأنه ليس شيء غير ممكن لدي الله " فقالت مريم " هودا أنا أمة الرب . ليكن لي كقولك " فمضي من عندها الملاك (لو 1 : 26 – 38 )

وعند قبولها هذه البشارة الإلهية نزل الابن الوحيد قوة الله الكلمة أحد الثلاثة الأقانيم الأزلية وحل في أحشائها حلولا لا يدرك البشر كيفيته واتحد للوقت بإنسانية كاملة اتحادا كاملا لم يكن بعده افتراق .

فهذا اليوم آذن هو بكر الأعياد . لأن فيه كانت البشري بخلاص العالم وفي مثله تم الخلاص بالقيامة المجيدة لآدم وبنيه من أيدي الشيطان نسأل إلهنا وفادينا أن يتفضل فيغفر لنا آثامنا ويتجاوز عن خطايانا . أمين

تذكار قيامة مخلصنا الصالح من الاموات

في هذا اليوم تحتفل الكنيسة بتذكار كمال الخلاص بالقيامة المجيدة لأن ربنا له المجد لما أكمل تدبيره على الأرض ، و فى مدة ثلاث وثلاثين سنة وتألم بإرادته في ليلة السابع والعشرين من هذا الشهر قام من بين الأموات في مثل هذا اليوم الذي فيه بشر أهل العالم بتجسد المسيح الذي كانوا ينتظرونه واليوم الذي بشر فيه الأحياء والأموات ووثقوا بالخلاص كان في يوم الجمعة إلى أن تحقق ذلك في يوم الأحد للأحياء وتيقنوا من قيامتهم بقيامة جسد المسيح الذي هو رأسهم كما يقول الرسول أن المسيح هو الذي أقام المضجعين نسأله كعظم رأفته وسعة رحمته أن يتفضل علينا بمغفرة خطايانا له المجد الدائم إلى الأبد . آمين .

And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name JESUS. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end." Then Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, since I do not know a man?" And the angel answered and said to her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God. Now indeed, Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son in her old age; and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren. For with God nothing will be impossible." Then Mary said, "Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word." And the angel departed from her.

And Glory be to God forever
