أذْكُرُوا الأَسْرى كأَنَّكُم مَعَهُم مأْسُورُون، والْمُضَايَقِينَ كَأَنَّكُم أَنْتُم في جَسَدِكُم مُضَايَقُون
“الرسالة إلى العبرانيّين12/من28حتى29//13/من01حتى09/:”يا إخوَتِي، بِمَا أَنَّنَا حَصَلْنَا على مَلَكُوتٍ لا يَتَزَعزَع، فَلْنَتَمَسَّكْ بِهذِهِ النِّعْمَة، وَلْنَعْبُدْ بِهَا اللهَ عِبَادَةً مَرْضِيَّة، بتَقْوًى وخُشُوع. فَإِنَّ إِلهَنَا نَارٌ آكِلَة! فَلْتَثْبُتْ فيكُمُ المَحَبَّةُ الأَخَوِيَّة. ولا تَنْسَوا ضِيَافَةَ الغُرَبَاء، فإِنَّ بِهَا أُنَاسًا أَضَافُوا المَلائِكَةَ وهُم لا يَدْرُون.
أُذْكُرُوا الأَسْرى كأَنَّكُم مَعَهُم مأْسُورُون، والْمُضَايَقِينَ كَأَنَّكُم أَنْتُم في جَسَدِكُم مُضَايَقُون. لِيَكُنِ الزَّواجُ مُكَرَّمًا عِندَ الجَمِيع، والفِرَاشُ الزَّوجِيُّ نَقِيًّا، لأَنَّ اللهَ سَيَدِينُ الفُجَّارَ والزُّنَاة. لِيَكُنْ تَصَرُّفُكُم مُنَزَّهًا عَنْ حُبِّ المَال، وٱكْتَفُوا بِمَا عِنْدَكُم، لأَنَّ اللهَ نَفْسَهُ قَال: «لَنْ أُهْمِلَكَ، لَنْ أَتْرُكَكَ!». فَنَقُولُ واثِقِين: «أَلرَّبُّ عَونٌ لِي، لَنْ أَخَاف: مَاذا يَصْنَعُ بِيَ البَشَر؟». تَذَكَّرُوا مُدَبِّرِيكُمُ الَّذِينَ خَاطَبُوكُم بِكَلِمَةِ الله، وتأَمَّلُوا بِمَا ٱنْتَهَتْ إِلَيهِ سِيرَتُهُم، وٱقْتَدُوا بإِيْمَانِهِم. إِنَّ يَسُوعَ المَسِيحَ هُوَ هُوَ أَمْسِ واليَومَ وإِلى الأَبَد. لا تَنْقَادُوا لِتَعَالِيمَ مُتَنَوِّعَةٍ وغَرِيبَة، لأَنَّهُ حَسَنٌ أَنْ يُسْنَدَ القَلْبُ بِالنِّعْمَة، لا بِالأَطْعِمَةِ الَّتي لا تَنْفَعُ الَّذِينَ يُرَاعُونَ أَحْكَامَهَا”.

Remember those who are in prison, as though you were in prison with them; those who are being tortured, as though you yourselves were being tortured
“Letter to the Hebrews 12/28-29//13/01-09: “Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us give thanks, by which we offer to God an acceptable worship with reverence and awe; for indeed our God is a consuming fire. Let mutual love continue. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it. Remember those who are in prison, as though you were in prison with them; those who are being tortured, as though you yourselves were being tortured. Let marriage be held in honour by all, and let the marriage bed be kept undefiled; for God will judge fornicators and adulterers. Keep your lives free from the love of money, and be content with what you have; for he has said, ‘I will never leave you or forsake you.’ So we can say with confidence, ‘The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can anyone do to me?’ Remember your leaders, those who spoke the word of God to you; consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and for ever. Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teachings; for it is well for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not by regulations about food, which have not benefited those who observe them.”

لِهذَا أَقُولُ لَكُم: كُلُّ مَا تَسْأَلُونَهُ في الصَّلاة، آمِنُوا أَنَّكُم نِلْتُمُوهُ، فَيَكُونَ لَكُم
“إنجيل القدّيس مرقس11/من19حتى25/: “لَمَّا حَلَّ المَسَاء، خَرَجَ يَسُوعُ وتَلامِيذُه مِنَ المَدِينَة. وفي الصَّبَاح، بَيْنَمَا هُم عَابِرُون، رَأَوا التِّيْنَةَ يَابِسَةً مِنْ جُذُورِهَا. فتَذَكَّرَ بُطْرُسُ وقَالَ لَهُ: «رَابِّي، أُنْظُرْ، إِنَّ التِّيْنَةَ الَّتي لَعَنْتَهَا قَدْ يَبِسَتْ!». فأَجَابَ يَسُوعُ وقَالَ لَهُم: «آمِنُوا بِٱلله! أَلحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُم: مَنْ قَالَ لِهذا الجَبَل: إِنْقَلِعْ وَٱهْبِطْ في البَحْر، وهُوَ لا يَشُكُّ في قَلْبِهِ، بَلْ يُؤْمِنُ أَنَّ ما قَالَهُ سَيَكُون، يَكُونُ لهُ ذلِكَ. لِهذَا أَقُولُ لَكُم: كُلُّ مَا تَسْأَلُونَهُ في الصَّلاة، آمِنُوا أَنَّكُم نِلْتُمُوهُ، فَيَكُونَ لَكُم. وإِذَا قُمْتُم لِلصَّلاة، وكَانَ لَكُم عَلى أَحَدٍ شَيء، فَٱغْفِرُوا لَهُ لِكَي يَغْفِرَ لَكُم أَيْضًا أَبُوكُمُ الَّذي في السَّمَاواتِ زَلاَّتِكُم».

Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours
“Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Mark 11/19-25: “And when evening came, Jesus and his disciples went out of the city. In the morning as they passed by, they saw the fig tree withered away to its roots. Then Peter remembered and said to him, ‘Rabbi, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered.’ Jesus answered them, ‘Have faith in God. Truly I tell you, if you say to this mountain, “Be taken up and thrown into the sea”, and if you do not doubt in your heart, but believe that what you say will come to pass, it will be done for you. So I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. ‘Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone; so that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses.”
