“You who love the Lord, hate evil” (Psalm 97:10)

Absolute in His attribute, Holy and pure as He is, and for no uncleans is in Him, our Lord, God is a Good Father. The existence of Him before the creation of the world, for He does so now and forever, He lives in holiness in eternity. Before He created all the creatures by His mercy, He existed by sacred and triune; now also abodes glorified, sanctified and praised; as well will be praised in the future in His kingdom even for the inheritance of His honor and holiness to the Archangels and mankind. He did all this for His mercy, goodness, kindness and holy will.

Christians endeavors

Dear Children of God, how are you? How is school? Are you studying well? How about your Christian life? Hope you have been brave and strong to pass all your exams and be obedient in your Christianity! Good!

Dear Children! You might remember our lesson on faith, love and hope which are Christians endeavors. On this lesson, we have brought you revision of these topics and later on will present questions on the lessons. Therefore, follow us attentively so that you could answer and be rewarded.

Forgiveness

Dear Children of God! How are you? How is life at home, school and your neighborhood in your spiritual life? Hope you are being good children of God and your parents! We also wish you are strong and fasting as much as you can in this fasting season of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ “The Great Lent.”

We have now reached to the seventh week of this fasting season which is known as “Nicodemus.” After that, are Hosanna and the Passion Week, the suffering and crucifixion of our Lord before His resurrection/Tinsaye/.
Little ones, we shall commemorate this season by much prayer, fasting, prostrating (bowing) and alms giving according to our ability. We attend the Holy Church’s order and liturgy especially at “The Passion Week,” and participate on the prayer and prostrating. Ok, good! Now we will proceed to our lesson which is about forgiveness.

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patient… ” (Galatians 5:22)

Dear Children of God! How are you? How is school and life with your beloved ones? We have reached the second week of “The Great Lent/ The Fast of Christ.” We hope you are attending your local Churches with your families and fasting as much as you can! You shall also pray much more than usual.

It is important to learn and study firmly as well because our parents expect good results and great success from us. So then, we must not be lazy but be educated well to become brave children. Ok, good! Children, last time we have learned about obedience. And for today, we will see about patient. Follow us attentively!

“God is Love” (1 John 4:8)

Dear Children of God! How are you? How is the second semester final exam? We assume and hope those of you who have been learning and studying well, have passed your exams with good grades. A student does not study at the time of exam or a bit earlier; but, follows the lessons attentively from the beginning, read books, ask teachers questions for something he/she does not understand and also participate at class works and home works.

We forward our caring opinion for those who might have not passed exams or scored poor grades to be active in classrooms, start learning and studying well for the next exams in passing on to the next grade.

Little ones, may we also remind you about the spiritual life that you can live by obtaining Church education attending your local Churches. Good! Now, we will proceed to our lesson which is about love. You might remember our previous lesson on hope. And this section is the following part.

Matrimony and Gender

The foundation and culmination of Christian matrimony are rooted in God. In holy matrimony, the two men and woman become one through the holy sacrament. Without entering into a covenant with the One who grants us His Kingdom, starting marriage would be akin to the Old Testament concept of worldly, earthly and fleshly unions. These would exist solely for procreation, fulfilling physical desires, or resolving disputes, making matrimony a mere worldly endeavor. In Christian matrimony, however, these are gifts from God Himself. If we remain steadfast in our faith and live a virtuous life, we are promised the inheritance of the heavenly Kingdom.

“Now abide faith, hope, love, these three” (1 Corinthians 13:13)

Dear Children of God! How are you? How were feasts of Lord and Savior Jesus Birthday as well as Feasts of Baptism? We hope you have spent it with your family, neighbors, friends and all beloved ones!

How about your education? There might be those of you who have taken exams or who are currently taking exams and even those getting ready to take exams. Therefore, for those who have taken exams, we wish for good grades; and for students who have not finished their exams, we remind you to be brave and study well in scoring good grades. It is our faith you will receive good results if you learn and study well. Ok! Good!

Little ones, for now we will proceed to our lesson entitled “Hope.

Matrimony and Gender

Will is the foundation of thought; a person begins to think about a matter through ones will. In this regard, thought and will are interdependent and share a harmonious and complementary meaning. Matrimony, in its essence, is a covenant, an agreement established between two parties. Managing a household, for example, is a covenant (agreement) based on will. Since the Matrimony covenant is founded on mutual consent, its ultimate purpose transcends this world and finds its fulfillment in the Kingdom of Heaven, where we place our hope.
