نقل جسد الأنبا يحنس القصير بشهيت ( 29 مســرى)
في مثل هذا اليوم من سنة 515 للشهداء نقل جسد القديس العظيم الأنبا يحنس "يوأنس" القصير من القزم إلى برية شيهيت وذلك أنه لما كان البابا يوحنا الثامن والأربعون في برية شيهيت تمني بعض الحاضرين نقل جسد القديس يؤنس إلى ديره فحركت نعمة الله البابا البطريرك فكتب رسالة علي يد القمص قزمان والقمص بقطر من الشيوخ وأرسلهما إلى القلزم فلم يتمكنا من أخذ جسده لأنه كان في حوزة الهراطقة التابعين لمجمع خلقدونية فعادا من حيث أتيا . وبعد أيام تولي علي القلزم أمير من أمراء العرب وكان صديقا للأنبا ميخائيل أسقف أبلاوس فعاد البطريرك وكتب رسالة أخري إلى الأسقف يعلمه برغبته في أخذ الجسد وإرساله مع الرهبان الموفودين بالرسالة ففرح الأب الأسقف بذلك وعلم الأمير بالخبر فقال الأمير : " وكيف السبيل لوصول الرهبان إلى المكان ؟ " فأجابه كاتبه : " يلبسون ثياب العرب فوق ثيابهم ويدخلون معنا " وهكذا فعلوا ودخل العرب مع هؤلاء الرهبان حيث كان الجسد فحمله الرهبان وساروا به طول الليل حتى وصلوا إلى مريوط ومنه إلى البرية . ولما دخلوا به دير القديس مقاريوس تلقاه الرهبان بالتراتيل وهم يحملون الصلبان والمباخر وأتوا به إلى حيث جسد القديس مقاريوس وسكبوا عليه الطيب ثم حملوه إلى ديره وهم يرتلون . فتلقاه أولاده بالفرح والبهجة . ولما رسم البابا مرقس البطريرك التاسع والأربعون وصعد إلى البرية ومعه أساقفة الوجه البحري وبعض الكهنة ذهب إلى دير هذا القديس وكشف عن أعضائه المقدسة وتبارك منها ورد عليه ثوب الليف الذي كان ملفوفا به ثم كفنه بلفائف كتان وسبح الرهبان الله ، وأنشدوا كثيرا من المدائح لهذا القديس .
صلاته تكون معنا . ولربنا المجد دائما . آمين

Arrival of the Holy Relic of St. John, the Short, to the Wilderness of Scetis
Arrival of the Holy Relic of St. John, the Short, to the Wilderness of Scetis
On this day also, in the year 515 A.D., the body of the great saint Anba John, the Short, was relocated from Al-Qulzum (Red Sea) to the wilderness of Scetis. When Pope John (Youhanna), 48th Pope of Alexandria, was in the wilderness of Scetis, some of the monks expressed their wish to relocate the relics of
St. John, the Short, to his monastery. The Grace of God moved the Pope, and he wrote a letter by the hand of the Hegumen Kosman and Hegumen Boctor, from the elders, and sent them to Al-Qulzum. They were not able to take the body because it was in the hands of the followers of the Council of Chalcedon. So they returned empty handed. Shortly after, a prince from the Arabs took charge of Al-Qulzum, and he was a friend of Anba Michael, bishop of Epla'os. Once again the Patriarch wrote another letter to the bishop expressing his wish to take the body of St. John and to send it with the monks carrying his letter. The bishop rejoiced with the letter, and informed the prince about the wish of the Patriarch. The prince asked, How could they reach the place? His scribe answered him, Let the monks put Arab garments over their own apparel, and let them come with us to the place. The monks came in, along with the Arabs, to the place where the body was. The monks carried the body and walked all night until they came to Misr, and then went to the wilderness. The monks of the monastery of St. Macarius went out carrying crosses and censers and met them with songs and hymns. They brought the body of St. John to where the body of St. Macarius was. They poured many perfumes and fragrant oil over him, then carried him to his monastery while they were chanting. The monks of his monastery received him with joy and happiness. When Pope Mark (Marcus), 49th Patriarch, was ordained, and went to the wilderness with the bishops of Lower Egypt and some priests, he visited the monastery of this saint. He uncovered the holy relic of the saint, and he was blessed by it. He covered him with the sackcloth that was covering him, then wrapped him in fine linens. The monks praised and thanked God, and sang many hymns and songs for this holy father.
May his prayers be with us and Glory be to our God forever. Amen.
 
Martyrdom of Saints Athanasius, the Bishop, Gerasimus (Jarasimus), and Theodotus
Martyrdom of Saints Athanasius, the Bishop, Gerasimus (Jarasimus), and Theodotus
On this day, Sts. Athanasius, the Bishop, Gerasimus (Jarasimus), and Theodotus, his two servants, were martyred. Certain men laid an accusation against the bishop before Arianus, the governor, that he had baptized the daughter of Antonios, the chancellor. Arianus brought St. Athanasius and asked him to worship the idols. The bishop refused and declared his faith in the Lord Christ. The governor tortured him with severely painful tortures, and when he saw him getting firmer in his faith, he ordered to cut off his neck and the necks of the two servants with him. Some believers took their bodies, shrouded them, and laid them in coffins. God honored them by manifesting many signs and wonders from their bodies.
May their prayers be with us. Amen

Bible Study

(Mathew 3 : 10 - 4 : 4)
 
139 – 10 August
 
* “ And even now the ax is laid to the root of the trees. Therefore every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire ” (MT 3: 10)
- There are two kinds of fruit: One is concerned with your life and behavior, and the other is concerned with your relationships and your message in life
 
When love grows, there is fruit - when happiness grows, there is fruit
“ But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering,
kindness, goodness, faithfulness ” (GA 5:22)
All virtues are fruits of repentance.
For instance, when a selfish person changes and becomes loving, this is a fruit;
When a miser becomes generous; this is a fruit;
When a lustful person becomes spiritual; this is a fruit.
 
There is another kind of fruit which is:
getting souls to Christ our Lord
because a repentant person is the one who is capable of bringing people to God.
When one repents and his/her life changes,
the fruit of his/her repentance attracts people to God -
people’s lives can change because of his/her repentance.
