Michel Khoury Parish Council Chairman: Salim Qaru Sunday, Dec 6 th, 2015 Nicholas the wonderworker القديس نيقوالوس العجائبي NATIVITY FAST: November 15 th - December 25 th Nativity Fast (Advent) is the period proceeding the Christmas season in which we abstain from meat and dairy products. Eating fish is allowed except Wednesdays and Fridays, and we can eat all the regular meals like breakfasts, lunches, and dinners. The purpose of this fast is seeking the spirituality and the preparation for the feast of the advent of our Lord on December 25 th. بدء صوم الميالد: يبدأ صوم الميالد 55/51 وهو صوم يسمح فيه أكل السمك )عدا األربعاء والجمع( لغاية نهار 52/20 هذا الصوم تهيئة لالحتفال بعيد ميالد ربنا يسوع المسيح. نتمنى للجميع صوما مباركا وكل عام وأنتم بخير. THE EPISTLE: St. Paul to the Hebrews. (13:17-21) Brethren, obey your leaders and submit to them; for they are keeping watch over your souls, as men who will have to give account. Let them do this joyfully, and not sadly, for that would be of no advantage to you. Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a clear conscience, desiring to act honorably in all things. I urge you the more earnestly to do this in order that I may be restored to you the sooner. Now may the God of peace Who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, equip you with everything good that you may do His will, working in you that ces which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ; to Whom be glory forever and ever. Amen. الرسالة: عبرانيين ٢١-١٢ ٢١: يا إخوة أطيعوا مدب ريكم واخضعوا لهم فإنهم ي سهرون على نفوسكم س ه ر من سي عطي حسابا حتى يفعلوا ذلك بسرور ال آن ين ألن هذا غير نافع لكم. صل وا من أجلنا فإن ا نثق بسرور بأن لنا ضمير ا صالح ا فنرغب في أن ن حسن التصر ف في كل شيء وأطلب ذلك بأشد إلحاح حتى أ رد اليكم في أسرع وقت. وإله السالم الذي أعاد من بين األموات راعي الخراف العظيم بدم العهد األبدي رب نا يسوع ي كم لكم في كل عمل صالح حتى تعملوا بمشيئته عامال فيكم ما هو مرضي لديه بيسوع المسيح الذي له المجد إلى األبد آمين.

THE GOSPEL: St. Luke. (13:10-17)At that time, Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath. And there was a woman who had had a spirit of infirmity for eighteen years; she was bent over and could not fully straighten herself. And when Jesus saw her, He called her and said to her, Woman, you are freed from your infirmity. And He laid His hands upon her, and immediately she was made straight, and she praised God. But the ruler of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the people, There are six days on which work ought to be done; come on those days and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day. Then the Lord answered him, You hypocrite! Does not each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or his ass from the manger, and lead it away to water it? And ought not this woman, a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan bound for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath day? As Jesus said this, all His adversaries were put to shame; and all the people rejoiced at all the glorious things that were done by Him. اإلنجيل: لوقا ٣١-٣١ في ٣١: ذلك الزمان كان يسوع يعلم في أحد المجامع يوم السبت وإذا بامرأة بها روح مرض منذ ثماني عشرة سنة وكانت منحنية ال تستطيع ان تنتصب البتة. فلما رآها يسوع دعاها وقال لها: إنك م ط لقة من مرضك ووضع يديه عليها وفي الحال استقامت ومجدت هللا. فأجاب رئيس المجمع وهو مغتاظ إلبراء يسوع في السبت وقال للجمع: هي ستة أيام ينبغي العمل فيها ففيها تأتون وتستشف ون ال في يوم السبت. فأجاب الرب وقال: يا مرائي أليس كل واحد منكم يحل ثوره أو حماره في السبت من المذود وينطلق به فيسقيه وهذه وهي ابنة إبراهيم التي ربطها الشيطان منذ ثماني عشرة سنة أما كان ينبغي أن ت ط ل ق من هذا الرباط يوم السبت ولما قال هذا خزي كل من كان يقاوم وفرح الجمع بجميع األمور المجيدة التي كانت تصدر منه.
