#Feasts of #Senne_12

✞✞✞On this day we commemorate Saint Michael the Archangel, Saint Lalibela (the Ethiopian Emperor), Saint Afomia/Euphemia, and Saint Bahran the Priest✞✞✞

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

✞✞✞ Saint Michael the Archangel✞✞✞
=>Saint Michael was appointed over the hosts of angels called Powers that are found in the Realm of Eyor (The 3rd Heaven - Shehaqim) at first. Then, when Satan defected, he was elevated by the Will of God, and for his humility and empathy over all the 99 Hosts of Angels.

✞From creation, after our Lady, there is none that is as honorable and kindhearted as St. Michael. He is an angel known for his intercession and aid. Manuscripts call him as “God’s council”, and as “whose name means compassionate”. And that is because he is an angel without resentment that hastens for aid and is kind.

✞And because he was a grace to all the saints of the Old Testament, aided and saved them as well, he was called “Megabi Beluy”/ “The Steward of the Old [Testament]”. He has also led and nourished Israel for 40 years in the desert. And Holy Scripture articulates much about him. (Gen.48:16, Josh. 5:13, Judg. 13:17, Dan.10:21/12:1, Ps.33 (34):7, Rev.12:7)

✞[In addition to that] the compassionate angel has a unique love for our Lady which is delighting. And from her mother’s womb up to now he is with her. He joyously obeys her. And when he wants to intercede, he says to her, “My Lady! Go before me!” Thus, they enter the fiery curtains together and bring down mercy together with blessing to the world.

✞We commemorate St. Michael for the following things on this day.
1. Because he was appointed over all the hosts of angels.
2. Because of the consecration of his church (in Egypt).
3. Because he helped St. Euphemia/Afomia.
4. Because he visited [to aid] St. Bahran.
5. Because he took up St. Lalibela to heaven.
6. Because it is the day on which he will beseech mercy for all creation.

✞May the Archangel keep us from all wickedness by his spiritual wings.

✞✞✞Saint Lalibela the Ethiopian Emperor✞✞✞
=>St. Lalibela who came to the throne [of Ethiopia] at the end of the 12th century
*was born after an annunciation by an angel.
*studied Holy Texts while he was just a kid.
*grew up praying, fasting, and in austerity though he was of royal lineage.
*did not hold any hatred in his heart when he was lashed by his brother.
*has drunk poison for the love of his friends.
*lived as an ascetic though he sat as the Emperor of Ethiopia.
*ate only once in a day with his holy wife, St. Masqal Kibra, and they ate not the better part of the “Injera” (an Ethiopian staple food - sour fermented flatbread) but its parched outer edges only.

✞The Saint has also seen many mysteries after he was taken to heaven.
*Then, he built in the likeness of what he saw Debre Roha (Lalibela - Lasta).
*The Rock-Hewn Churches [in Lalibela and elsewhere], which are to this day a mystery, were his handy works.

✞The Saint departed on this day after completing his works, living an austere and holy life, and handing his empire to Na'akueto La'ab. And our Lord has given him a covenant saying, “The person who honors your name, holds your feast, stays a night [in a vigil] at your church I will enable him/her to have an inheritance in the Heavenly Kingdom.”

✞May He (God) grant us from the Saint’s blessing and honor.

✞✞✞Saint Euphemia/Afomia✞✞✞
✞She was a compassionate mother,
*that lived in a blessed matrimony with Andronicus,
*that made alms giving her daily routine,
*that was preserved in the love for the saints,
*and who humiliated Satan by keeping her purity [after her husband passed away].

✞And on this day, she departed holding the icon of St. Michael and after making the sign of the Cross. Her soul was taken up by the holy angel to paradise.

✞✞✞Saint Bahran the Priest✞✞✞
=>He was the son of a kind but a poor Christian, and was also a compassionate Christian
*that was thrown into a sea viciously [as an infant],
*that grew up by the will/wisdom of God and inherited his adversary’s wealth [the wealth of one who threw him into the sea],
*that had a good marriage and served as a priest,
*that made alms giving his habit and built churches.

✞And on this day, he passed away and St. Michael, his beloved patron, placed his soul in paradise.

✞✞✞ May our God grant us from the blessings of the Saints. Amen.

#Feasts of #Senne_13

✞✞✞On this day we commemorate the Archangel Saint Gabriel and the Righteous Abba John of Jerusalem✞✞✞

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

✞✞✞ Saint Gabriel the Archangel✞✞✞
=>St. Gabriel is a great and zealous angel
*who is one of the Archangels of the 2nd Heaven (Rama/Raki'a).
*who is appointed over ten hosts of angels called Arbab/Dominions.
*who has a name that means “lord and servant” and “divine and human” as well (indicating the incarnation).
*who reassured the ninety nine hosts of angels on the first day of creation (when Satan rose as an apostate).
*who is the leader of the Angels of Light.
*whose announcing ministry is attested to widely in the Old or New Testaments.
*who was particularly chanced to announce that God the Son would become man.
*who never departs from the side of the Virgin Mary.
*who has served many saints with his prompt aid.

✞On this day, God sent St. Gabriel to Babylon. And there, Scripture tells us that the Archangel saved the Prophet Daniel from the fangs of lions.

✞And when the Great Prophet Daniel prayed thinking about the return of his exiled kinsfolk in grief, St. Gabriel descended down, then touched, blessed and consoled him. And he revealed to the Prophet mainly three mysteries. He told Daniel
1. That the House of Israel would return seventy years later.
2. That Christ would become man and die.
3. And that the Antichrist would come in the last days.

✞Thence, our fathers have instructed us to venerate St. Gabriel and to call upon him in prayer.

✞✞✞Abba John of Jerusalem✞✞✞
=>The Saint’s homeland was in the Middle East and he was the companion of the Great Scholar, St. Epiphanius. Abba John was raised a Christian and after studying the Holy Scriptures, he left for a monastery as an ascetic.

✞There, he studied the rites of the monastics from Abba Hilarion the Star of Monasticism and served Abba Isidore as a novice.

✞After many years of austerity and monastic life, he was ordained as the Bishop of Jerusalem. During his episcopate, he committed one major mistake.

✞And it was that he had used the money collected for the destitute for his personal use and adorned his attire and living quarters with gold. However, God to remove this wastage from him sent St. Epiphanius.

✞St. Epiphanius entered Jerusalem from Cyprus as if he had arrived for some other reason. And then, as they were friends, he took all the golden possessions from him and gave them to the poor. And when Abba John insisted to the Scholar saying, “Return my things” and seized him [by the hem of his garment], St. Epiphanius prayed and made the father blind. And that was because this was how a blinded heart was going to be opened.

✞And Abba John, who had become blind within minutes, wept and said to the Scholar, “Have compassion upon me, plead for me?” And St. Epiphanius prayed and opened one of his eyes only. And when Abba John asked, “Why?” He replied, “It is an admonition.”

✞And after that day, Abba John gained back his mind/heart and made his home a monastery. And in a good old age, he passed away on this day after attending to the faithful in an astounding manner of holiness, love, and apostolic service.

✞✞✞May the aid of the Archangel St. Gabriel, and the blessing of Abba John not depart from us.
