Prophecy
From the Book of Numbers of Moses, may his holy blessings be with us all. Amen
Numbers 10 : 35 - 36
| 35 | So it was, whenever the ark set out, that Moses said: "Rise up, O LORD! Let Your enemies be scattered, And let those who hate You flee before You." |
| 36 | And when it rested, he said: "Return, O LORD, To the many thousands of Israel." |
Numbers 11 : 1 - 35
| 1 | Now when the people complained, it displeased the LORD; for the LORD heard it, and His anger was aroused. So the fire of the LORD burned among them, and consumed some in the outskirts of the camp. |
| 2 | Then the people cried out to Moses, and when Moses prayed to the LORD, the fire was quenched. |
| 3 | So he called the name of the place Taberah, because the fire of the LORD had burned among them. |
| 4 | Now the mixed multitude who were among them yielded to intense craving; so the children of Israel also wept again and said: "Who will give us meat to eat? |
| 5 | We remember the fish which we ate freely in Egypt, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic; |
| 6 | but now our whole being is dried up; there is nothing at all except this manna before our eyes!" |
| 7 | Now the manna was like coriander seed, and its color like the color of bdellium. |
| 8 | The people went about and gathered it, ground it on millstones or beat it in the mortar, cooked it in pans, and made cakes of it; and its taste was like the taste of pastry prepared with oil. |
| 9 | And when the dew fell on the camp in the night, the manna fell on it. |
| 10 | Then Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, everyone at the door of his tent; and the anger of the LORD was greatly aroused; Moses also was displeased. |
| 11 | So Moses said to the LORD, "Why have You afflicted Your servant? And why have I not found favor in Your sight, that You have laid the burden of all these people on me? |
| 12 | Did I conceive all these people? Did I beget them, that You should say to me, "Carry them in your bosom, as a guardian carries a nursing child,' to the land which You swore to their fathers? |
| 13 | Where am I to get meat to give to all these people? For they weep all over me, saying, "Give us meat, that we may eat.' |
| 14 | I am not able to bear all these people alone, because the burden is too heavy for me. |
| 15 | If You treat me like this, please kill me here and now--if I have found favor in Your sight--and do not let me see my wretchedness!" |
| 16 | So the LORD said to Moses: "Gather to Me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people and officers over them; bring them to the tabernacle of meeting, that they may stand there with you. |
| 17 | Then I will come down and talk with you there. I will take of the Spirit that is upon you and will put the same upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with you, that you may not bear it yourself alone. |
| 18 | Then you shall say to the people, "Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow, and you shall eat meat; for you have wept in the hearing of the LORD, saying, "Who will give us meat to eat? For it was well with us in Egypt." Therefore the LORD will give you meat, and you shall eat. |
| 19 | You shall eat, not one day, nor two days, nor five days, nor ten days, nor twenty days, |
| 20 | but for a whole month, until it comes out of your nostrils and becomes loathsome to you, because you have despised the LORD who is among you, and have wept before Him, saying, "Why did we ever come up out of Egypt?' |
| 21 | And Moses said, "The people whom I am among are six hundred thousand men on foot; yet You have said, "I will give them meat, that they may eat for a whole month.' |
| 22 | Shall flocks and herds be slaughtered for them, to provide enough for them? Or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to provide enough for them?" |
| 23 | And the LORD said to Moses, "Has the LORD's arm been shortened? Now you shall see whether what I say will happen to you or not." |
| 24 | So Moses went out and told the people the words of the LORD, and he gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people and placed them around the tabernacle. |
| 25 | Then the LORD came down in the cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the Spirit that was upon him, and placed the same upon the seventy elders; and it happened, when the Spirit rested upon them, that they prophesied, although they never did so again. |
| 26 | But two men had remained in the camp: the name of one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad. And the Spirit rested upon them. Now they were among those listed, but who had not gone out to the tabernacle; yet they prophesied in the camp. |
| 27 | And a young man ran and told Moses, and said, "Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp." |
| 28 | So Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' assistant, one of his choice men, answered and said, "Moses my lord, forbid them!" |
| 29 | Then Moses said to him, "Are you zealous for my sake? Oh, that all the LORD's people were prophets and that the LORD would put His Spirit upon them!" |
| 30 | And Moses returned to the camp, he and the elders of Israel. |
| 31 | Now a wind went out from the LORD, and it brought quail from the sea and left them fluttering near the camp, about a day's journey on this side and about a day's journey on the other side, all around the camp, and about two cubits above the surface of the ground. |
| 32 | And the people stayed up all that day, all night, and all the next day, and gathered the quail (he who gathered least gathered ten homers); and they spread them out for themselves all around the camp. |
| 33 | But while the meat was still between their teeth, before it was chewed, the wrath of the LORD was aroused against the people, and the LORD struck the people with a very great plague. |
| 34 | So he called the name of that place Kibroth Hattaavah, because there they buried the people who had yielded to craving. |
| 35 | From Kibroth Hattaavah the people moved to Hazeroth, and camped at Hazeroth. |
Glory be to the Holy Trinity, our God, forever and unto the ages of all ages. Amen.
From the Book of Proverbs , may his holy blessings be with us all. Amen
Proverbs 3 : 19 - 35
| 19 | The LORD by wisdom founded the earth; By understanding He established the heavens; |
| 20 | By His knowledge the depths were broken up, And clouds drop down the dew. |
| 21 | My son, let them not depart from your eyes--Keep sound wisdom and discretion; |
| 22 | So they will be life to your soul And grace to your neck. |
| 23 | Then you will walk safely in your way, And your foot will not stumble. |
| 24 | When you lie down, you will not be afraid; Yes, you will lie down and your sleep will be sweet. |
| 25 | Do not be afraid of sudden terror, Nor of trouble from the wicked when it comes; |
| 26 | For the LORD will be your confidence, And will keep your foot from being caught. |
| 27 | Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, When it is in the power of your hand to do so. |
| 28 | Do not say to your neighbor, "Go, and come back, And tomorrow I will give it," When you have it with you. |
| 29 | Do not devise evil against your neighbor, For he dwells by you for safety's sake. |
| 30 | Do not strive with a man without cause, If he has done you no harm. |
| 31 | Do not envy the oppressor, And choose none of his ways; |
| 32 | For the perverse person is an abomination to the LORD, But His secret counsel is with the upright. |
| 33 | The curse of the LORD is on the house of the wicked, But He blesses the home of the just. |
| 34 | Surely He scorns the scornful, But gives grace to the humble. |
| 35 | The wise shall inherit glory, But shame shall be the legacy of fools. |
Proverbs 4 : 1 - 9
| 1 | Hear, my children, the instruction of a father, And give attention to know understanding; |
| 2 | For I give you good doctrine: Do not forsake my law. |
| 3 | When I was my father's son, Tender and the only one in the sight of my mother, |
| 4 | He also taught me, and said to me: "Let your heart retain my words; Keep my commands, and live. |
| 5 | Get wisdom! Get understanding! Do not forget, nor turn away from the words of my mouth. |
| 6 | Do not forsake her, and she will preserve you; Love her, and she will keep you. |
| 7 | Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding. |
| 8 | Exalt her, and she will promote you; She will bring you honor, when you embrace her. |
| 9 | She will place on your head an ornament of grace; A crown of glory she will deliver to you." |
Glory be to the Holy Trinity, our God, forever and unto the ages of all ages. Amen.
From the Book of Isaiah , may his holy blessings be with us all. Amen
Isaiah 40 : 1 - 8
| 1 | "Comfort, yes, comfort My people!" Says your God. |
| 2 | "Speak comfort to Jerusalem, and cry out to her, That her warfare is ended, That her iniquity is pardoned; For she has received from the LORD's hand Double for all her sins." |
| 3 | The voice of one crying in the wilderness: "Prepare the way of the LORD; Make straight in the desert A highway for our God. |
| 4 | Every valley shall be exalted And every mountain and hill brought low; The crooked places shall be made straight And the rough places smooth; |
| 5 | The glory of the LORD shall be revealed, And all flesh shall see it together; For the mouth of the LORD has spoken." |
| 6 | The voice said, "Cry out!" And he said, "What shall I cry?All flesh is grass, And all its loveliness is like the flower of the field. |
| 7 | The grass withers, the flower fades, Because the breath of the LORD blows upon it; Surely the people are grass. |
| 8 | The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever." |
Glory be to the Holy Trinity, our God, forever and unto the ages of all ages. Amen.
From the Book of Job , may his holy blessings be with us all. Amen
Job 25 : 1 - 6
| 1 | Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said: |
| 2 | "Dominion and fear belong to Him; He makes peace in His high places. |
| 3 | Is there any number to His armies? Upon whom does His light not rise? |
| 4 | How then can man be righteous before God? Or how can he be pure who is born of a woman? |
| 5 | If even the moon does not shine, And the stars are not pure in His sight, |
| 6 | How much less man, who is a maggot, And a son of man, who is a worm?" |
Job 26 : 1 - 14
| 1 | But Job answered and said: |
| 2 | "How have you helped him who is without power? How have you saved the arm that has no strength? |
| 3 | How have you counseled one who has no wisdom? And how have you declared sound advice to many? |
| 4 | To whom have you uttered words? And whose spirit came from you? |
| 5 | "The dead tremble, Those under the waters and those inhabiting them. |
| 6 | Sheol is naked before Him, And Destruction has no covering. |
| 7 | He stretches out the north over empty space; He hangs the earth on nothing. |
| 8 | He binds up the water in His thick clouds, Yet the clouds are not broken under it. |
| 9 | He covers the face of His throne, And spreads His cloud over it. |
| 10 | He drew a circular horizon on the face of the waters, At the boundary of light and darkness. |
| 11 | The pillars of heaven tremble, And are astonished at His rebuke. |
| 12 | He stirs up the sea with His power, And by His understanding He breaks up the storm. |
| 13 | By His Spirit He adorned the heavens; His hand pierced the fleeing serpent. |
| 14 | Indeed these are the mere edges of His ways, And how small a whisper we hear of Him! But the thunder of His power who can understand?" |
Glory be to the Holy Trinity, our God, forever and unto the ages of all ages. Amen.

Mark 9 : 14 - 24
| 14 | And when He came to the disciples, He saw a great multitude around them, and scribes disputing with them. |
| 15 | Immediately, when they saw Him, all the people were greatly amazed, and running to Him, greeted Him. |
| 16 | And He asked the scribes, "What are you discussing with them?" |
| 17 | Then one of the crowd answered and said, "Teacher, I brought You my son, who has a mute spirit. |
| 18 | And wherever it seizes him, it throws him down; he foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth, and becomes rigid. So I spoke to Your disciples, that they should cast it out, but they could not." |
| 19 | He answered him and said, "O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to Me." |
| 20 | Then they brought him to Him. And when he saw Him, immediately the spirit convulsed him, and he fell on the ground and wallowed, foaming at the mouth. |
| 21 | So He asked his father, "How long has this been happening to him?" And he said, "From childhood. |
| 22 | And often he has thrown him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. But if You can do anything, have compassion on us and help us." |
| 23 | Jesus said to him, "If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes." |
| 24 | Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, "Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!" |
Glory be to God forever.

Pauline Epistle
Paul, the servant of our Lord Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, appointed to the Gospel of God. A reading from the Epistle of our teacher Paul to the Philippians.
May his blessings be with us. Amen.
Philippians 2 : 22 - 26
| 22 | But you know his proven character, that as a son with his father he served with me in the gospel. |
| 23 | Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see how it goes with me. |
| 24 | But I trust in the Lord that I myself shall also come shortly. |
| 25 | Yet I considered it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, and fellow soldier, but your messenger and the one who ministered to my need; |
| 26 | since he was longing for you all, and was distressed because you had heard that he was sick. |
The grace of God the Father be with you all. Amen.

Catholic Epistle
A Reading from Epistle of St. John . May his blessings be upon us. Amen.
1 John 3 : 2 - 11
| 2 | Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. |
| 3 | And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure. |
| 4 | Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness. |
| 5 | And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin. |
| 6 | Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him. |
| 7 | Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous. |
| 8 | He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. |
| 9 | Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God. |
| 10 | In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother. |
| 11 | For this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another, |
Do not love the world or the things in the world. The world passes away, and its desires; but he who does the will of God abides forever. Amen.

Acts of the Apostles
The Acts of our fathers the apostles, may their blessings be with us. Amen.
Acts 24 : 10 - 23
| 10 | Then Paul, after the governor had nodded to him to speak, answered: "Inasmuch as I know that you have been for many years a judge of this nation, I do the more cheerfully answer for myself, |
| 11 | because you may ascertain that it is no more than twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem to worship. |
| 12 | And they neither found me in the temple disputing with anyone nor inciting the crowd, either in the synagogues or in the city. |
| 13 | Nor can they prove the things of which they now accuse me. |
| 14 | But this I confess to you, that according to the Way which they call a sect, so I worship the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the Law and in the Prophets. |
| 15 | I have hope in God, which they themselves also accept, that there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and the unjust. |
| 16 | This being so, I myself always strive to have a conscience without offense toward God and men. |
| 17 | "Now after many years I came to bring alms and offerings to my nation, |
| 18 | in the midst of which some Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, neither with a mob nor with tumult. |
| 19 | They ought to have been here before you to object if they had anything against me. |
| 20 | Or else let those who are here themselves say if they found any wrongdoing in me while I stood before the council, |
| 21 | unless it is for this one statement which I cried out, standing among them, "Concerning the resurrection of the dead I am being judged by you this day."' |
| 22 | But when Felix heard these things, having more accurate knowledge of the Way, he adjourned the proceedings and said, "When Lysias the commander comes down, I will make a decision on your case." |
| 23 | So he commanded the centurion to keep Paul and to let him have liberty, and told him not to forbid any of his friends to provide for or visit him. |
The word of the Lord shall grow, multiply, be mighty, and be confirmed, in the holy Church of God. Amen.

May God make it always received, year after year, with reassurance and tranquility, while our sins are forgiven by the tender mercies of our God my fathers and brothers. Amen.
The Twenty-Fourth Day of the Blessed Month of Baramhat
Apparition of the Pure Lady the Virgin
in the church of Zeitoun
On the eve of this day of the
year 1684 A.M. which coincide with tuesday the 2nd. of April 1968 A.D.,
during the papacy of Pope Kyrellos VI, the hundred sixteenth Pope of Alexandria,
our Lady and the pride of our faith started to transfigure in luminous
spiritual forms in and around the domes of the church dedicated to her
immaculate name in Zeiton, a suburb of Cairo. This transfiguration continued
in following nights in a manner that was never known in the East or the
West. This transfiguration in some nights was as long as many hours, without
stop, in front of tens of thousands of people from every race and religion,
with every one seeing her, pointing at her and interceding to her with
songs, hymns, tears, prayers and hails and She was looking to them in a
compassionate way raising her hand at times to bless them in all directions.
The first one to notice this transfiguration was the workmen at the garage
of the Public Transit System which was across the street from the church.
The watchman Abdel-Aziz Aly, who was in charge of guarding the garage at
that night, saw a luminous body over the dome of the church. He started
shouting: "light over the dome" and he called the other workers in the
garage. They all came and saw the bright light over the large dome of the
church. When they looked closely, they saw a young lady in white, kneeling
by the cross at the top of the dome. Because the dome had a round, smooth,
and very sloping surface, it held the men as though they were nailed in
their places watching the fate of the lady. Few seconds passed then they
saw the kneeling lady as she stood over the dome. They gave out a cry of
fear that she might fall down. They thought she was a girl in despair trying
to commit suicide and they cried warning that person not to jump down and
some of them called the police. The pedestrians, men and women started
to gather around. The view of the lady was getting more clear and she appeared
as a beautiful girl in a bright gown of light and had branches of olive
tree in her hand, and around her flew white doves. Then they realized that
they were seeing a heavenly spiritual view. They directed flood light to
the luminous picture to remove all doubt from their minds, but instead
it became more clear and bright. They cut the electricity off all the area
but the lady remained in her heavenly illumination and her bright gown
of light became more clear. She started moving around in a circle of light
radiating from her body to all the directions around her. All the people
then realized that this lady in front of them, without no doubt is the
Virgin Mary. They started to shout and cry saying: "She is the Virgin ...
She is the Mother of Light ... " They prayed with songs, hymns and hails
all the night until the next morning.
Since that night the pure
Virgin had transfigured in different spiritual views in front of thousands
and ten of thousands of masses, Egyptian and foreigners, Christians and
non-christians, men, women and children. Spiritual beings formed like doves
would appear before, during and after the transfiguration zooming through
the sky in a way raising the human from a materialistic to a heavenly atmosphere.
This transfiguration was in different forms. One of the most significant
ways this apparition took place was that; the head of St. Mary under the
vail looking down as in the picture of the sad Virgin and she was looking
toward the Cross and that view would stay like this at times or slowly
bow before the Cross at other times. The Cross itself will shine and illuminate
although it was made of concrete. And some times an angel would appear
standing behind her spreading his wings. That view might stay as long as
many hours. Another view was the view of the Mother of Light standing as
a great Queen in a beautiful spiritual portrait radiating dignity, elegance
and beauty. On her head was a crown of a queen as if it were made of diamonds
and some times there appeared on the top of the crown a small luminous
cross. And some times she appeared in the same way but carrying Christ,
to Him is the Glory, in the form of a child on her hand and on His head
a crown. And on other times she raised her both hands as She was blessing
the world moving to the right, to the front, and to the left in a dignified
way.
Many spiritual signs appeared
before, during, and after the apparition of the Virgin the mother of the
Lord's transfiguration. The appearance of tongues of yellowish flame would
flash over the church and then subside and that repeated several times.
Another form of the signs were the spiritual beings formed like doves,
larger than the doves that we know, appear about midnight or after, flying
in the middle of darkness illuminating in a fast speed, appeared suddenly
from no where, and also disappeared suddenly. These spiritual beings appeared
in different formations and in varying numbers. A fact we should be aware
of that pigeons do not fly during the night. Another sign was the shooting
stars which were constantly falling and were seen very close to the apparition
on many occasions as if coming down to glorify her from heaven. Another
sign was the fragrance of incense. The smoke of the incense poured out
of the domes in large quantities. Substance resembling clouds, thick fog
or smoke would roll in toward the church and completely cover the church.
Also the illuminated cloud that appeared over the domes of the church in
large volume and often proceeded the transfiguration of the Virgin or at
times the cloud slowly formed in the shape of the virgin. Sometimes the
apparition of the Virgin would appear from the clouds. This transfiguration
and all the spiritual signs were a forerunner and announcement for serious
or important events to come in the near and far future. Or it might be
a spiritual gesture from heaven to indicate the Lord's caring for His church
and His people and our country.
May the mercy of God be upon us all. May the Lord keep His people
and church in peace, with the intercession of Our Lady and the pride of
our race the pure Virgin St. Mary. Amen.
Departure of Anba Macarius, the Fifty-Ninth
Pope of Alexandria
On this day also of the
year 668 A.M. (May 20th. 952 A.D.) St. Macarius the fifty ninth Pope of
Alexandria, departed. He was born in the city of Shoubra. He rejected the
world since his youth and he desired the monastic life. He went to the
monastery of St. Macarius at the wilderness of Sheahat (Scetis). He lived
in virtues and good conduct made him worthy to be chosen a Patriarch, and
a successor for Pope Cosma. He was enthroned on the first of Baramouda
648 A.M. (March 27th. 932 A.D.). When he went forth from Alexandria going
to visit the monasteries in the desert of Scetis according to the custom
of his predecessors, he passed by his home town to visit his mother who
was a righteous woman. When his mother heard that he had arrived she did
not go out to meet him. When he had come to the house, he found her sitting
down weaving and she did not greet him or paid attention to him. He thought
that she did not know him. He told her: "Don't you know that I am your
son Macarius who was elevated to a great position and became a head for
a great nation?" She answered him with tears in her eyes: "I did not ignore
you and I know what became of you, but I would have rather seen you dead
than seen you as a Patriarch. Before, you were responsible only for your
own soul but now your are responsible about the souls of all your flock:
Now remember you are in danger and it is difficult to escape it." She said
that and went on weaving as she did before. The father the Patriarch left
her sad, and attended to his office with delegant and care. He instructed
his people with preaching and sermons. He did not touch any of the church
revenue, and did not lay his hand on any one without people consent. He
commanded the bishops and the priests to watch their flock and to protect
them with homilies and admonitions. He sat on the throne of St. Mark twenty
years in peace and tranquility, then departed in peace.
May His prayers be with us and Glory be to our God forever. Amen.

| 12 | Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life." |
| 13 | The Pharisees therefore said to Him, "You bear witness of Yourself; Your witness is not true." |
| 14 | Jesus answered and said to them, "Even if I bear witness of Myself, My witness is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from and where I am going. |
| 15 | You judge according to the flesh; I judge no one. |
| 16 | And yet if I do judge, My judgment is true; for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent Me. |
| 17 | It is also written in your law that the testimony of two men is true. |
| 18 | I am One who bears witness of Myself, and the Father who sent Me bears witness of Me." |
| 19 | Then they said to Him, "Where is Your Father?" Jesus answered, "You know neither Me nor My Father. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also." |
| 20 | These words Jesus spoke in the treasury, as He taught in the temple; and no one laid hands on Him, for His hour had not yet come. |
Glory be to God forever.
