The Third Month

The third month of the Ethiopian Liturgical Year is known as “Hidar.” The word is derived from the Geeze word “Mahedere,” which means “abode.” According to the Holy Church teaching, the time from Hidar six up to Tahisas seven, the thirteen consecutive days are known as “Age of Mercy.” This is the time when we think the mercy, forgiveness and kindness of God.

Holy Mother Saint Virgin Mary’s Intercession

Dear Children of God! how are you? How is school? Are you are learning attentively? It is better if you start studying hard beginning now! Two months have passed since the New Year began. So then, what have you learned through these times? Some schools have started trail exams, testing students their knowledge. So how was the exam? Hope you have scored good grades! Well done!

Little ones! If you remember on our previous lesson, we have learned a bit about intercession. Now, we will see about Saint Virgin Mary’s intercession.

Crucifixion of Jesus

The Crucifixion day of Our Lord Jesus Christ is the holiday, which is the salvation of the world. The Holy Bible mentioned that: “From the sixth hour until the ninth hour there was darkness over all the land.” (Matthew 27:45) The sun had hidden its light when it saw its creator incarnated, hanging with His own free will on the wood of the Cross, inclined His head, and yielded up His spirit.

“There will be earthquakes in various places” (Matthew 24:7)

Onwards the first occurrence time up to this generation, earthquake has reached up to the scale of 7.2 and more in the last ten years. However, from 1900 E.C., its weight, amount and the damage it has on humanity, wealth and development has increased. The years from 1900 E.C. and 1949 E.C.  the last ten years, the occurrence of earth quakes has become three and more. In the 19905’s has increased rapidly, and have reached up to nine heavy earthquakes.  In the 1970’s, 125 incidents have occurred. (Grant Jeffery, The signature of God, Wheaton, I11: Tyndale publishing, 1996, 194). Identifying this situation, we can realize that the heavy earthquakes will shatter the earth.

Intercession

Dear Children of God! how are you? How is school? Are you studying hard? You shall start you study soon!

In our previous lesson, we presented to you some questions and you have send us your responses. And we have send you the answers. And for now we teach you about “Intercession.” Follow us!

Saint Matthew the Apostle

Saint Matthew the Evangelist, was martyred on Tikmet 12. He was one of the Twelve Disciples and his name was Levi. He was the one sitting at the receipt of custom outside the city of Capernaum, when the Lord Christ said to him, “Follow Me.” He left all, rose up, and followed Him. He made for the Lord Christ a great feast in his own house. That made the Pharisees murmur against Him.

Woe to me!

out of sin I was born
defying His words, gone by impious instruction
standing on sinful way, I sat on joker’s chair
drowning on water storm, I drank death beaker

My Starved Soul!

The nemesis attempts to control my entire life, tormenting and torturing me day and night. The life I led in misery, was full of anxiety and distress, yet, have not given up hope. But when I seek the peace of my existence, it was afar as the sky.
