إنجيل القدّيس لوقا02/من36حتى40/وكانَ الطِّفْلُ يَكْبُرُ ويَتَقَوَّى ويَمْتَلِئُ حِكْمَة. وكَانَتْ نِعْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه
“كَانَتْ هُنَاكَ (في أُرشليم) نَبِيَّةٌ طَاعِنَةٌ جِدًّا في أَيَّامِهَا، هِيَ حَنَّةُ بِنْتُ فَنُوئِيل، مِنْ سِبْطِ أَشِير، عَاشَتْ مَعَ زَوْجِهَا سَبْعَ سَنَوَاتٍ مُنْذُ بَكَارَتِهَا، ثُمَّ بَقِيَتْ أَرْمَلةً حتَّى الرَّابِعَةِ والثَّمَانِينَ مِنْ عُمْرِهَا، لا تُفَارِقُ الهَيْكَلَ مُتَعَبِّدَةً بِالصَّوْمِ والصَّلاةِ لَيْلَ نَهَار. فَحَضَرَتْ في تِلْكَ السَّاعَة، وأَخَذَتْ تُسَبِّحُ الرَّبّ، وتُحَدِّثُ عنِ الطِّفْلِ جَمِيعَ المُنْتَظِرينَ فِدَاءَ أُورَشَلِيم. ولَمَّا أَتَمَّ يُوسُفُ ومَريَمُ كُلَّ ما تَقتَضِيهِ شَرِيعَةُ الرَّبّ، عَادَا بِيَسُوعَ إِلى الجَلِيل، إِلى النَّاصِرَةِ مَدِينَتِهِم. وكانَ الطِّفْلُ يَكْبُرُ ويَتَقَوَّى ويَمْتَلِئُ حِكْمَة. وكَانَتْ نِعْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه”.
الرسالة إلى العبرانيّين06/من09حتى12/فإِنَّ اللهَ لَيْسَ بَظَالِمٍ حَتَّى يَنْسَى عَمَلَكُم، والمَحَبَّةَ التي أَظْهَرْتُمُوهَا مِن أَجْلِ ٱسْمِهِ
“يا إخوَتِي، إِنَّنَا وَاثِقُونَ مِن جِهَتِكُم، أَنَّكُم في حَالٍ أَفْضَلَ وأَضْمَنَ لِلخَلاص. فإِنَّ اللهَ لَيْسَ بَظَالِمٍ حَتَّى يَنْسَى عَمَلَكُم، والمَحَبَّةَ التي أَظْهَرْتُمُوهَا مِن أَجْلِ ٱسْمِهِ، حِينَ خَدَمْتُمُ القِدِّيسِينَ ومَا زِلْتُم تَخْدُمُونَهُم. ولكِنَّنَا نَوَدُّ أَنْ يُظْهِرَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُم هذَا الٱجْتِهَادَ عَيْنَهُ، لِكَي يُحَافِظَ حَتَّى النِّهَايَةِ على مِلْءِ يَقِينِ رَجَائِهِ. وذلِكَ لِئَلاَّ تَصِيرُوا مُتَباطِئِين، بَلْ لِتَقْتَدُوا بِالَّذِينَ بإِيْمَانِهِم وَطُولِ أَنَاتِهِم، يَرِثُونَ الوُعُود”.
The child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom; and the favour of God was upon him.”
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 02/36-40: There was also a prophet, Anna the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was of a great age, having lived with her husband for seven years after her marriage,then as a widow to the age of eighty-four. She never left the temple but worshipped there with fasting and prayer night and day. At that moment she came, and began to praise God and to speak about the child to all who were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem. When they had finished everything required by the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own town of Nazareth. The child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom; and the favour of God was upon him.”
For God is not unjust; he will not overlook your work and the love that you showed for his sake in serving the saints, as you still do.
Letter to the Hebrews 06/09-12: “Even though we speak in this way, beloved, we are confident of better things in your case, things that belong to salvation.For God is not unjust; he will not overlook your work and the love that you showed for his sake in serving the saints, as you still do. And we want each one of you to show the same diligence, so as to realize the full assurance of hope to the very end, so that you may not become sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
