"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls, who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it." (Matthew 13:45-46)

"To champions of the faith the doctrine calls me, that I should go and behold their contests and their crowns...Havens of peace, a place also of retreat for all that were distressed, and a resting-place for the head of every one that was in need of succour: two precious pearls...Your truth is your beauty, your crown your suffering, your wealth your stripes, and by reason of your blows magnificent is the beauty of your championship." (Jacob of Serugh, Homily on Guria and Shamuna)

Father Bishoy Kamel - Fraction Prayer- Fast of the Apostles

Ya Sa7eb Al 7anan- يا صاحب الحنان

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.

A Living Hope~ The Fourth Watch (Father Bishoy Kamel)

Blessed are those who, in the sea of troubles, keep themselves simple and avoid investigation, in fervour to God, without turning their back, for they will quickly be safe in the harbour of the promises and rest in the mansions attained by all who labour well. There they are consoled for their toiling, exulting with the joy of their hope.
~Isaac the Syrian
