+ለዚህ መነሻ የሆነው ደግሞ ከ13ቱ ወራት መዓልቱ (ቀኑ) ቶሎ የማይመሽበት ወር ሰኔ መሆኑ ነው:: በእርግጥ ንግግራችን አጭርና ግልጽ ቢሆን ሁሌም መልካም ነው:: ሰው እስኪሰለቸን ድረስ ማውራቱ የሚገባ: የሚመችም አይደለምና::

+ትጋትን የሚወድ አምላክ ይህንን ወቅት ለጾም ለሥራና: ለበጐ ተግባር አርዝሞልናል:: በእርግጥ ጥቂት ሠርተን ብዙ ለምንተኛ ለዚህ ዘመን ሰዎች ይህ ሊጸንብን ይችል ይሆናል:: ግን ምንም እንኩዋ ሁሉ ወራት ለሥራ ቢሠሩም ወርሃ ሰኔ #ለገበሬና #ለክርስቲያን ትልቁን ሥራ የሚጀምሩበት ወቅት ነው::

+#እግዚአብሔር ሁሉን በሁሉ የሠራ: ያዘጋጀና የፈጸመ ጌታ ነው:: ምንም እንዳይጐድልብንም አድርጐናል:: በተለይ #የኢ/ኦ/ተ_ቤተ_ክርረስቲያን ሁሉ ነገሯ በሥርዓት ነው:: ለሁም ነገር ትርጉምና ሸጋ የሆኑ ሐተታዎች አሏት::

#Feasts of #Senne_1

✞✞✞On this day we commemorate Saint Joseph the Righteous✞✞✞

✞✞✞In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, one God. Amen!✞✞✞

✞✞✞ Saint Joseph the Righteous✞✞✞
=>The Church has many saints that are called by this name. However, Joseph, the son of the one called Israel, Jacob, takes precedence from all. He was one of the saints whose lives were written down in the great Holy Bible.

✞And we must read Genesis from Chapter 39 to 50 to get a detailed story of the Saint. Beyond that, in the Accounts of the Church much has been said about him.

✞The Bible when it begins tells us about Adam. And then it speaks about the saints
*Seth
*Enoch
*Noah
*Shem
*Abraham
*Isaac
*Jacob
*And then it reaches Saint Joseph.

✞St. Joseph was one of the 2 dear children of Jacob (Israel) whom he had from his beloved wife Rachel. Though the Saint lost his mother, he grew up in favor before his father and his Creator. And that was because he was sincere, obedient, and loving.

✞And he did not think ill of his brothers who hated him bitterly. Rather he wandered in the desert looking for them while carrying [their] ration (their lunch).

✞And on the road, when he became hungry, instead of eating from their lunch, he wept and the God of his fathers fed him by transforming rock to bread. Nonetheless, his 10 brothers in return of his kindness, conspired to kill him. And the reason was because they were jealous of him thinking that he was going to rule over them basing the dream that he had dreamt, which was from God, and told them about.

✞And finally by the council of Judah they sold him to Arab merchants. And by this, he became a typology for Christ, Who was sold by Judas and also for His passion. Even though his brothers sold the Saint, there was the Will of God in their act. Hence, where he was sold as a slave, in the house of Potiphar, God gave him favor.

✞And there, because he girdled his youth with the love of God, he did not bow down to the requests of adultery by the wife of Potiphar. And when she said, “No one will see us”, he replied, “Though no one sees us, how can I do this great wickedness, and sin before God?” and escaped from transgression. And in turn, he was imprisoned.

✞And since God was with him, he gained favor in prison and was chosen as a leader [in charge of the other prisoners]. As it is said in a text “Joseph did not go a night without being appointed”. Thereafter, he interpreted the dreams of the servants of the King. And later, he amazed the Pharaoh himself by interpreting his dream. And the Pharaoh appointed him over his land (Egypt).

✞St. Joseph, while he ruled in the land of Egypt, saved the people from starvation. And he provided food to his holy father, Israel, and his brothers as well, who were previously cruel to him. And he bore Ephraim and Manasseh after marrying a woman named Asenath.
   
✞At 110 years, after delighting God in all his ways, and after receiving blessing from his father, he passed away on this day in a good old age. And his kinsfolk buried him with great lamentation and honor. And according to his prophecy by which he said “Translocate my body”, his children (Moses and others), when they were freed from bondage in Egypt, translated his relics to Canaan. 

✞✞✞Saint Leontius (Laventius)✞✞✞
=>The Saint was born around the 3rd century and he was from Tarablos /Ṭarābulus in Arabic/ (Tripoli, Lebanon). At the time, he used to serve the rulers as a soldiers. And because he was a virgin and a handsome youth, he had favor before the people.

✞And though he was a soldier, he usually fasted and prayed. Particularly, he frequently prayed the Psalms of David and loved it. And because all his speech was sweetened by the Holy Spirit, he converted many of his friends from blasphemy to the Faith and from cruelty to kindness.

✞And when the Era of Persecution was at hand, he preached the name of Christ in public. And when wicked people accused him and he was brought before the governor, he was not fearful. Rather, he chanted while the soldiers threw him down, beat him, and his blood flowed on the ground.

✞And finally, he was beheaded for the love of Christ. Let us call upon St. Leontius (Laventius) in faith as he is a wonder working Saint. The Church commemorates today the miracle he performed. And it was also on this day that the consecration of his church took place.

✞✞✞May the God of the Saints give us the Month of Senne for blessing, repentance, to do righteousness and bear fruit. And may He grant us from the diligence, grace, and blessing of the martyr. 

✞✞✞Annual feasts celebrated on the 1st of Senne

✞✞✞“And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt. Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life. . .And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.”✞✞✞
Gen. 45:4-8

በፊት አምላካችን መንፈስ ቅዱስ በቅዱሳን ሐዋርያት ላይ መውረዱን
እናስባለን::

††† ይህስ እንደ ምን ነው ቢሉ:-

+ቸር አምላክ ወልድ ኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ ለእኛ ሲል
*ከልዑል ማዕርጉ ወርዶ:
*በማሕጸነ ድንግል ተጸንሶ:

*በባሕርይ ስልጣኑ ተነስቶ:
*በአርባኛው ቀን ያርጋል::

+ታዲያ ደቀ መዛሙርቱን የቅዱስ መንፈሱን ጸጋ ተስፋ እንዲያደርጉ ነግሯቸው
ነበርና በተነሳ በ50ኛው ቀን: በዐረገ በ10 ቀን ተስፋውን ፈጸመላቸው::

+እመቤታችን ቅድስት ድንግል ማርያም ዶሮ ጫጩቶቿን በክንፎቿ እንድትይዝ
በአንድ ላይ ሰብስባ ለክብረ መንፈስ ቅዱስ አብቅታቸዋለች:: 120ው ቤተሰብ

በአምሳለ እሳት አደረባቸው::

+ቅዱሳን ሐዋርያት ፈሪዎች የነበሩ ደፋሮች: አሮጌ ሕሊና የነበራቸው
ሐዲሶች ሆኑ:: በአዕምሮ ጐለመሱ: ቁዋንቁዋ ተናገሩ: ምሥጢርም

✞✞✞On this day we commemorate the Descent of the Holy Spirit (the Feast of Pentecost)✞✞✞

✞✞✞In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, one God. Amen!✞✞✞

✞✞✞The Feast of Pentecost-The Descent of the Holy Spirit ✞✞✞
=>As we have seen on previous days (on Ginbot 8/May 16), the Feasts of our Lord are celebrated twice a year (i.e. the Actual Dates “Tinte Beal” and the Movable Feasts “Yeqemer Beal”). Today also we commemorate that 1,980 years ago (from 2014 E.C) took place the Descent (Dorea) of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles. 

✞✞✞If asked how that came to be, it was as follows.
✞After the Good God, the Son - Jesus Christ, for us
*Came [to this world] by humbling Himself
*Was conceived in the womb of the Virgin
*Was born of the Virgin
*Grew up like children but without sin
*Was baptized at age of 30 years
*Taught the Gospel, the holy commandment[s]
*Died by His will
*Arose from the dead by His authority
*And ascended on the 40th day of His resurrection;

✞As He had assured His disciples of the coming of His Holy Spirit, He fulfilled the promise on the 50th day of His resurrection and the 10th day of His ascension.

✞And our Lady the Virgin St. Mary gathering together the Apostles, as a mother hen would hold its chicks within its wings, enabled them to receive honor from the Holy Spirit. And while the 120 Disciples (called “The Kin of Christ”) prayed with our Lord’s Mother, the Holy Spirit descended in the manner of a rushing mighty wind and in the likeness of fire and dwelt in them [by grace].

✞Then, the Holy Apostles who were previously fearful became brave, and their timeworn conscience was renewed. They also became illuminated, spoke [different] languages, and explained mysteries. And in an instant their hearts were filled with the Old and New Testaments.

✞And after the Apostles received the Holy Spirit, they tilled the world with the Gospel. And as salts they sweetened the flavorless world. And they gave their necks, without hesitation, to the sword [for the sake of Christ’s name].

As the author has said,
“They received each [gifts] from the Holy Spirit
And to preach to the nations of the world the Apostles went
And as witnesses [they] travelled for torment”

✞Hence, on this day, 2 things are given emphasis in the discourses.
1. The Divinity of the Holy Spirit.
*That He is perfect God, Who proceeds from the Father, has existed before the world, is equal in authority with the Father and the Son, and has His own Hypostasis.
2. The Church
*That It is a true communion of Christians which was thought by the Father, sanctified by the blood of the Son and preserved by the gift[s] of the Holy Spirit. It is also the [consecrated] building or house of worship. And that on this day, it was established as a community – an ecclesia.

=>May the God of the Saints grant us His sinful servants from the grace of His Holy Spirit.

✞✞✞“And when the day of Pentecost was 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 all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost (Holy Spirit), and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.”✞✞✞
Acts 2:1-4
