Michel Khoury Parish Council Chairman: Suheil Azar Sunday, February 21 st 2016 Sunday of the Pharisee and Publican THE EPISTLE: the Second Epistle of St. Paul to St. Timothy. (3:10-15) Timothy my son, you have observed my teaching, my conduct, my aim in life, my faith, my patience, my love, my steadfastness, my persecutions, and my sufferings; and what befell me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra. What persecutions I endured; yet from them all, the Lord rescued me. Indeed all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, while evil men and impostors will go on from bad to worse, ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ deceivers and deceived. But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings which are able to instruct you for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. بدء صوم الميالد: يبدأ صوم الميالد 55/51 وهو صوم يسمح فيه أكل السمك )عدا األربعاء والجمع( لغاية نهار 52/20 هذا الرسالة: يا الصوم ولدي تهيئة تيموثاوس لالحتفال إنك قد بعيد ميالد استقرأت ربنا تعليمي يسوعوسيرتي المسيح. نتمنى وقصديللجميع وإيمانيصوما وأناتيمباركا ومحب تي وكل عام وصبري وأنتم بخير. واضطهاداتي وآالمي وما أصابني في انطاكية وإيقونية ولسترة وأي ة اضطهادات احتملت وقد أنقذني الرب من جميعها. وجميع الذين يريدون أن يعيشوا بالتقوى في المسيح يسوع ي ضطهدون. أم ا األشرار والم غوون من الن اس فيزدادون شر ا مض ل ين ومض ل ين. فاستمر أنت على ما تعل مته وأيقنت بهعالما مم ن تعل مت وأن ك منذ الطفولي ة تعرف الكتب المقدسة القادرة أن تصي رك حكيما للخالص باإليمان بالمسيح يسوع. THE GOSPEL: St. Luke. (18:10-14) The Lord spoke this parable: Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank Thee that I am not like other men, extortionists, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I get. But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, God, be merciful to me a sinner! I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for every one who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted. اإلنجيل: لوقا 51-51:51 قال الرب هذا المثل: إنسانان صع دا الى الهيكل ليصل يا أحدهما فريسي واآلخر عشار. فكان الفريسي واقفا يصل ي في نفسه هكذا: الل هم إن ي أشكرك ألن ي لست كسائر الناس الخ ط فة الظالمين الفاسقين وال مثل هذا العش ار. فإن ي أصوم في األسبوع مر تين وأعش ر كل ما هو لي. أم ا العشار فوقف عن ب عد ولم ي رد أن يرفع عينيه الى السماء بل كان يقرع صدره قائال: الل هم ارحمني أنا الخاطىء. أقول لكم إن هذا نزل الى بيته م بر ر ا دون ذاك ألن كل من رفع نفسه ات ضع ومن وضع نفسه ارتفع.

Sunday of the Publican and the Pharisee by Fr. Ihor Kutash: IMPOSTORS WILL GROW WORSE AND WORSE (Sunday of the Publican and the Pharisee Today the Church draws our attention to Jesus wonderful Parable about the tax- collector (publican) and the Pharisee (Luke 18:10-14). We hear about the foolish, insensible pride of the religious man who boasted even as he was praying, little heeding the fact that no one upon earth has the right to boast before God, Who can see even the most secret, hidden faults of a person. The irreligious tax-collector was much wiser when he stood before God in total humility, refusing to flatter himself and simply asking God for mercy. He left it up to God how that mercy would be shown towards him. This is indeed a most worthy example for us to follow. It is also most timely, coming just before we begin the efforts of fasting and observing the time of Lent. All of our fasting and endeavour will be of no value unless they are coupled with humility, that is, a realistic sense of our true standing before God and our fellow human beings. In fact, the person who insists on being proud while fasting will even emerge from the process in a worse state than before he or she began the fast, because they will simply have given themselves another reason for patting themselves on the back. St. Paul s words to his student in the Faith, St. Timothy, in today s Epistle (2 Timothy 3:10-15) ought to make us sit up and take notice in this matter. He says that all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. He says, in other words, that a truly godly life is inevitable tested by persecution and by various kinds of suffering. There is benefit in this! It can help keep us from being deceived about how good we are. It can keep us aware of the fact that we are

يا هللا ارحمني أنا الخاطئ ندخل اليوم موسم ا في الطقوس ي دعى»تريودي«نسبة إلى كتاب نستعمله في هذه الفترة استعداد ا للصوم ويبدأ اليوم بأحد الفريسي والعشار وينتهي بسبت النور. أمامنا في القراءة اإلنجيلية اليوم رجالن ذهبا إلى الهيكل ليصل يا أحدهما فريسي واآلخر عش ار. ابتدأ الفريسي صالته شاكرا هللا آلنه ليس»مثل هذا العشار«متفاخرا ألنه»ليس كبقية الناس«. دان نفسه والدينونة هلل. في الظاهر كان للفريسي الحق أن يمي ز نفسه عن اآلخرين ألنه كان تقي ا بالمعنى المنصوص عليه في الكتب وكان ينف ذ الوصايا ويزيد. اعتبر نفسه غير خاطف وغير فاسق. أال يحق له أن يحسب نفسه أول الناس ماذا يريد هللا أكثر من هذا المشهد الثاني مشهد إنسان عش ار والعشارون كانوا يسرقون أموال الناس في جبايتهم للضرائب. وقف هذا اإلنسان في آخر الهيكل وقال:»ارحمني أنا الخاطئ«. قد تعرفون ان هذه العبارة انطلقت دعاء مستمرا في الرهبنة الشرقية اذ نقول»أيها الرب يسوع المسيح ابن هللا ارحمني أنا الخاطئ«ونرد دها. وتقول كنيستنا ان عبارة العش ار هذه يستعيض بها اإلنسان عن أي صالة وعن أية عبادة إن لم تتوفر له أسباب الصالة في الكنيسة. يقول يسوع ان هذا الخاطئ ذهب م بر را م زك ى دون ذاك الفريسي الذي لم يتواضع. والعشار التائب إلى رب ه جعله المسيح قدوة لنا والمسيح غفر لكثيرين من الخطأة. جاء يسوع ليقول: ال يكفيك أن تكون تقي ا ومنف ذا للشريعة يجب أن تعتبر أن هللا معطيك نعمة الشريعة وأن التقوى تعبر بك عبور ا وأنك فقير إلى هللا في كل حين وال يمكنك أن تفض ل نفسك على أحد. الذي يرى نفسه خير الناس ال يستطيع أن يرى هللا فوق رأسه وأما الذي يرى نفسه آخر الناس يستطيع أن ي بصر هللا في نفسه وفي الكون. يقول لنا الكتاب المقد س من خالل هذا المثل ان الصالح الذي فينا ال نستطيع أن نتفاخر به ألنه نعمة يقذفها هللا في القلب. ليس لنا من الصالح شيء إنما نحن نستمد ه من رب نا استمدادا. لقد عل م نا الرسول بولس أن»المسيح يسوع جاء إلى العالم لخل ص الخطأة الذين أنا أو لهم«) ١ تيموثاوس ١: ١١(. بولس جاز بالد العالم وأس س المسيحية مثلما لم يعمل انسان. قاسى وتأل م ومات شهادة للسي د وما كان له إال أن يقول:»ان المسيح جاء إلى العالم ليخل ص الخطأة الذين أنا أو لهم«. إذا اقتنع كل من ا بأن ه ليس ثالث خاطئ وال عاشر خاطئ ولكن ه أو ل الخطأة عندئذ يمكن ان يستقر هللا فيه في قلبه وال يبقى هللا فوق الجبال أو جالس ا على عرش. هللا يتمك ن من القلب ان استطاع القلب ان يرى نفسه آخر الناس. اإلنسان عابد لربه أو عابد لنفسه وال مجال لهاتين العبادتين في نفس واحدة. جاورجيوس مطران جبل لبنان
