The Great Lent - Fr. Anastasi St. Antony

Peklaoc Gar/Je Nai Nan -- Abouna Mina Shaheid

Arabic Lent Fraction FRBB

English Translation: 
Take her as your friend, as the Bible says- the friend of Solomon..
Take her as your friend; she will teach you…She will teach you the love of God, she will teach you meekness, she will teach you obedience. She will teach you not to complain. She will teach you humility. She will teach you silence, and she will teach you prayer. 
She will teach you to fast. 
She will teach you to serve- she is a model in service! When she heard of Elizabeth, she went and served her and stayed with her, until the ninth month. When she (Elizabeth) was due to give birth, she left the house and distanced herself from the noise and commotion. She returned to her house, because she likes to serve at a time when no one is around- she serves in secret. 
She endured, she endured all the thoughts that came to Joseph’s mind, and opened not her mouth, because she always looked to her good part. 
She is meek and humble. We never once heard of her that she spoke a word in the Holy Bible, except that she ask for goodness, and that for all; for the entire wedding, bringing joy to the people. 
She is a servant; meek, humble. 
She surrendered her life to God; when she left the temple, she also left in joy and gladness. She knows that her future is in the hands of God. Her future is not in the hands of those who took her out of the temple. She knows of what tomorrow consists; tomorrow consists of God, tomorrow God will take care of every matter for her. God is responsible for tomorrow; she does not worry about tomorrow. She cares, as Paul the Apostle says, “do not be anxious for anything, but in all things by prayer…that your requests may be known to God.”
She is joyful and satisfied with her inheritance, so it does not matter to her- inside the temple or outside of the temple…
Today, we celebrate for her a great feast, because she is the beginning of our joys, and she drew for us the path of our salvation. She, Virgin Mary, requires much contemplation, inquiry, and companionship, because the one who is her companion learns from her, and takes much from her. 
Keep her as your friend, learn from her- she will bless you, give you much, bring joy to your life, fill your life with peace, and grant you the way to the good part, which will never be taken away from you.
