Greetings to you Dear Children of God and gratitude to Almighty God! Children, how are you? How are you spending this Fast of our Holy Mother Saint Mary? We hope you fasting and going to Church for the Divine liturgy with your family within these fifteen days!
Dear Children fasting helps to be pass all the hardship in our lives and also make God happy….ok, Good! Children, today we are going to tell you the story about Saint Enbamarina. So be with us!
Holy Church celebrates the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ and how His appearance was changed on Mount Tabor, when there were with Him three of His disciples, that is to say, Peter, James and John. Concerning them Our Lord said, “There stand here those who shall not taste death until they see the Son of God and of man coming in His glory.” This is the glory wherein the Apostles saw Him.
On the blessed day of August 7 (E.C) God sent the great angel Gabriel, and he spoke to Joachim the righteous man, saying, “Behold, thy wife Hannah shall conceive, and she shall bear thee a daughter, and in her shall be joy and salvation for all the world”; which actually took place through Mary, the bearer of God in the flesh.
Mercy is one of God’s qualities and the merciful one bears a His likeness. It was said about God “The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in mercy. He will not always strive with us, nor will He keep His anger forever. He has not dealt with us according to our sins. Nor punished us according to our iniquities. For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is His mercy towards those who fear Him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.” (Psalm 103:8-12)
Onwards the death of our Holy Mother Saint Mary, the Apostles continued to be sad and sorrowful, because of her separation from them. Because they were left orphans by her; for our Lord had given them the hope of seeing her in the flesh.
Whilst John the evangelist was preaching in the country of Asia, on the sixteenth day of the month of August he was caught up in the spirit to the Garden of Delight, and he saw our Lord Jesus Christ sitting by the Tree of Life, where was the body of our Lady Mary. He then commanded His Seven Angels to summon her from earth….
Transient all the misery, sorrow and pain in life, one can taste the sweet fruit of spiritual life. Walking upon the narrow road of it in reality, love, peace and spiritual contentment, consume the esthetic mystical fare within Christianity. Those who fought and defeat enemy by the power of Gospel and Holy Cross just as our righteous father Abune Tekele Haimanot, have reached up to the last ladder of spirituality.
It is certain we differ in our spiritualty and diligence. But with the talent bestowed from God, we shall inherit everlasting Kingdom. Mankind can be granted spiritual virtue as witness in the stories of saints in-scripted in holy scriptures.
Dear Children of God, Greetings to you and gratitude to Almighty God!

When Ezra was troubled, while he was in captivity, distressed, greatly sorrowful about the captivity of the people and when he saw the idol worshipping Babylonians put the Israelites under cruel and bitter servitude as Ezra himself has said.
