Guess who is finally feeling good enough to go visit Jesus? I came to the church and chatted with my new friend about God and our lives. Her bus picked her up. I stopped at the gift shop for the book she recommended. Now I’m praying for you today. Here I am Lord.

On the early morning of Tuesday, March 12, 2024, Fr. Takla the Samuelite, along with Fr. Yostos Abba Markos and Fr. Mina Abba Markos, were martyred after masked terrorists attacked the Monastery of St. Mark the Apostle and St. Samuel the Confessor in Johannesburg, South Africa.
The three blessed fathers were reportedly dragged, viciously slaughtered and stabbed.
All three victims were found with stab wounds while a fourth who survived alleged that he was hit by an iron rod before fleeing and hiding. The murders remain unknown at this stage, as the suspects reportedly left the scene without taking any valuable items.
Information has been revealed.
The Monastery bell was rung between 2:30 am and 3:00 am for prayers. Father Takla was the first to head to the Church he was stabbed in the heart on his path to the Church. Father Mina heard something and ran to see what happened, he was beheaded on his path to see father Takla. Then the murderers went to Father Youstos and beheaded him on his rooms door step.
Fr. Hegumen Takla El-Samuely, Fr. Yostos Ava Markos, Fr. Mina Ava Markos, O holy martyrs, pray for us. May your sacrifice strengthen our faith and our Church.
"If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you." - John 15:18

Hey stop thinking of God and Jesus as your "homie" or "the man upstairs" or even your "best friend" in the same sense as your human best friends.
I get where those impulses come from--they help you feel relationally "closer" to God. But that's the thing. The whole Gospel is "He's way high above you and totally perfect and in complete authority over you—and yet you can still have a close intimate relationship with Him, without that aspect of His nature ever lessening or changing."
That's the wonder and the awesomeness of the Gospel—that His holiness and otherness and authority doesn't make your relationship less intimate, and in fact, you can have the closest relationship to Him of your whole life. Without Him ever being brought down to your level. That's the wonder of the Gospel. Don't cheapen it by letting humanism-shortcuts taint your view of Him. Don't settle for normal mud pies when it's actually an extravagant feast like nothing else you can taste.
Leviticus 10:3: "By those who come near Me I will be treated as holy."

Ele foi traído por um,vaiado por muitos,foi negado por quem ele mais amou,crucificado e morto,mesmo assim ainda pregou o amor,como não acreditar que ele é nosso salvador.

Ok folks raised or in the church, reblog this with your most insane church lore, drama, or scandal.
I'll go first. My church started out as a New England commune. They all shared one lawnmower.

Too much
Tumblr media
Everyone has their breaking point, right?
That point at which they have absolutely had it. When they finally had to end the relationship or quit the job. Because they can’t take it anymore and they are done.
We’ve all been there.
We’ve all been the one to make the break. You and I have gotten to that point. Where we had to leave for our own mental wellbeing, our physical health, or both.
But that’s not the only reason why you and I know about that breaking point, is it?
We hate to admit it, but there are times when you and I have been on the other side of that breaking point.
Where we have been the one that someone had to make the break with.
Because we kept screwing things up. Or we were stuck in unhealthy patterns. Or we couldn’t get over ourselves. Or we didn’t make time for them. Or any of a million other ways it becomes too much.
Because everyone has their breaking point.
We’re so used to finding that breaking point with other people – and even with ourselves – that we just assume God works the same way.
And that we’re going to screw things up. Or fall back into our unhealthy patterns. Or get full of ourselves. Or make time for everything but God. Or whatever it is.
One time too many. And we’re going to find out that God has a breaking point too.
Which is exactly what we don’t see in today’s Gospel – with the woman caught in adultery.
Jesus doesn’t give her one last chance. Or tell her that it’s too late.
Instead, Jesus forgives her.
And lets her know that her life doesn’t have to be this way.
That even if she doesn’t see it, she is more than her flaws, her faults, her failings.
“Neither do I condemn you. Go and sin no more.”
Tradition says that St. Cyril of Jerusalem (today’s saint) had a vision of Jesus meeting her again after the Resurrection. After she had fallen back into her old ways.
When they met, she was so ashamed that she couldn’t even meet His eyes. Jesus gently lifted up her head and softly said to her again,
“Neither do I condemn you. Go and sin no more.”

Quando o dia de desacelerar chegar. Porque ele vem pra todo mundo! Neste dia espero que você possa olhar para trás e perceber que preservou dentro de si, todo esse tempo, algo de mais valor que seus feitos. O bom caráter de Cristo!
