إِسْتَيْقِظْ، أَيُّهَا النَّائِم، وقُمْ مِنْ بَينِ الأَمْوَات، فيُضيءَ لَكَ ٱلمَسِيح/Sleeper, awake! Rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you

 أَحْبِبِ الرَّبَّ إِلهَكَ مِنْ كُلِّ قَلْبِكَ، وكُلِّ نَفْسِكَ، وكُلِّ فِكْرِكَ، وكُلِّ قُوَّتِكَ
إنجيل القدّيس مرقس12/من28حتى34/:”دَنَا إِلى يَسُوعَ أَحَدُ الكَتَبَة، وكَانَ قَدْ سَمِعَهُم يُجَادِلُونَهُ، ورَأَى أَنَّهُ أَحْسَنَ الرَّدَّ عَلَيْهِم، فَسَأَلَهُ: «أَيُّ وَصِيَّةٍ هِي أُولَى الوَصَايَا كُلِّهَا؟». أَجَابَ يَسُوع: «أَلوَصِيَّةُ الأُولَى هِيَ: إِسْمَعْ يَا إِسْرَائِيل، أَلرَّبُّ إِلهُنَا هُوَ رَبٌّ وَاحِد. فَأَحْبِبِ الرَّبَّ إِلهَكَ مِنْ كُلِّ قَلْبِكَ، وكُلِّ نَفْسِكَ، وكُلِّ فِكْرِكَ، وكُلِّ قُوَّتِكَ. والثَّانِيَةُ هِيَ هذِهِ: أَحْبِبْ قَرِيبَكَ كَنَفْسِكَ! ولا وَصِيَّةَ أُخْرَى أَعْظَمُ مِنْ هَاتَينِ الوَصِيَّتَين». فقالَ لَهُ الكَاتِب: «أَحْسَنْتَ يَا مُعَلِّم، بِحَقٍّ قُلْتَ: وَاحِدٌ هُوَ الله، لا إِلهَ آخَرَ سِوَاه. وحُبُّ اللهِ مِنْ كُلِّ القَلْب، وكُلِّ العَقْل، وكُلِّ القُوَّة، وحُبُّ القَريبِ كَالنَّفْس، هُمَا أَفْضَلُ مِنْ كُلِّ الذَّبَائِحِ والمُحْرَقَات». ورَأَى يَسُوعُ أَنَّ الكَاتِبَ أَجَابَ بَحِكْمَة، فقَالَ لَهُ: «لَسْتَ بَعِيدًا مِنْ مَلَكُوتِ الله». ومَا عَادَ أَحَدٌ يَجْرُؤُ أَنْ يَسْأَلَهُ عَنْ شَيء.”

إِسْتَيْقِظْ، أَيُّهَا النَّائِم، وقُمْ مِنْ بَينِ الأَمْوَات، فيُضيءَ لَكَ ٱلمَسِيح
رسالة القدّيس بولس إلى أهل أفسس05/من08حتى21/:”يا إِخْوَتي، لَقَدْ كُنْتُم مِنْ قَبْلُ ظَلامًا، أَمَّا الآنَ فأَنْتُم نُورٌ في الرَّبّ: فَٱسْلُكُوا كأَوْلادِ النُّور. فثَمَرُ النُّورِ هُوَ في كُلِّ صلاحٍ وَبِرٍّ وحَقّ. ومَيِّزُوا مَا هُوَ مَرْضِيٌّ لِلرَّبّ. ولا تُشَارِكُوا في أَعْمَالِ الظَّلامِ العَقِيمَة، بَلْ بِالأَحْرَى وَبِّخُوا عَلَيْهَا؛ لأَنَّ مَا يَفعَلُونَهُ في الخُفيَةِ يَقْبُحُ حتَّى ذِكْرُهُ. وكُلُّ مَا يُوَبَّخُ عَلَيْهِ يُظْهِرُهُ النُّور، وكُلُّ مَا يَظْهَرُ هُوَ نُور. لِذَلِكَ يَقُولُ الكِتَاب: «إِسْتَيْقِظْ، أَيُّهَا النَّائِم، وقُمْ مِنْ بَينِ الأَمْوَات، فيُضيءَ لَكَ ٱلمَسِيح!». تبَصَّرُوا إِذًا كَيفَ تَسْلُكُون، لا كَجُهَّالٍ بَلْ كَحُكَمَاء، مُفْتَدِينَ الوَقْت، لأَنَّ الأَيَّامَ شِرِّيرَة. لِذَلِكَ لا تَكُونُوا جُهَّالاً، بَلِ ٱفْهَمُوا مَا مشِيئَةُ الرَّبّ. ولا تَسْكَرُوا بِالخَمْر، لأَنَّ فيهِ طَيْشًا، بَلِ ٱمْتَلِئُوا مِنَ الرُّوح، مُكَلِّمِينَ بَعْضُكُم بَعْضًا بِمَزَامِيرَ وأَنَاشِيدَ وتَرَانِيمَ رُوحِيَّة، مُرَنِّمِينَ ومُرَتِّلِينَ لِلرَّبِّ في قُلُوبِكُم، شَاكِرِينَ دَوْمًا للهِ الآبِ عَلى كُلِّ شَيء، بِٱسْمِ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ المَسِيح، خَاضِعِينَ بَعْضُكُم لِبَعْضٍ بِمَخَافَةِ المَسِيح.”

You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Mark 12/28-34:”One of the scribes came near and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he answered them well, he asked him, ‘Which commandment is the first of all?’ Jesus answered, ‘The first is, “Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God, the Lord is one; you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.”The second is this, “You shall love your neighbour as yourself.” There is no other commandment greater than these.’Then the scribe said to him, ‘You are right, Teacher; you have truly said that “he is one, and besides him there is no other”; and “to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the strength”, and “to love one’s neighbour as oneself”, this is much more important than all whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices.’ When Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, ‘You are not far from the kingdom of God.’ After that no one dared to ask him any question.”

Sleeper, awake! Rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.’
Letter to the Ephesians 05/08-21:”For once you were darkness, but now in the Lord you are light. Live as children of light for the fruit of the light is found in all that is good and right and true.Try to find out what is pleasing to the Lord. Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.For it is shameful even to mention what such people do secretly; but everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for everything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says, ‘Sleeper, awake! Rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.’ Be careful then how you live, not as unwise people but as wise, making the most of the time, because the days are evil. So do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. Do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery; but be filled with the Spirit, as you sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, singing and making melody to the Lord in your hearts, giving thanks to God the Father at all times and for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Be subject to one another out of reverence for Christ.”
