لا تَخَافِي، يَا ٱبْنَةَ صِهْيُون، هُوَذَا مَلِكُكِ يَأْتِي رَاكِبًا عَلى جَحْشٍ ٱبْنِ أَتَان
إنجيل القدّيس يوحنّا12/من12حتى22/:”لَمَّا سَمِعَ الجَمْعُ الكَثِير، الَّذي أَتَى إِلى العِيد، أَنَّ يَسُوعَ آتٍ إِلى أُورَشَليم، حَمَلُوا سَعَفَ النَّخْلِ، وخَرَجُوا إِلى مُلاقَاتِهِ وهُمْ يَصْرُخُون: «هُوشَعْنَا! مُبَارَكٌ الآتِي بِٱسْمِ الرَّبّ، مَلِكُ إِسرائِيل». ووَجَدَ يَسُوعُ جَحْشًا فَرَكِبَ عَلَيْه، كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوب: «لا تَخَافِي، يَا ٱبْنَةَ صِهْيُون، هُوَذَا مَلِكُكِ يَأْتِي رَاكِبًا عَلى جَحْشٍ ٱبْنِ أَتَان». ومَا فَهِمَ تَلامِيذُهُ ذلِكَ، أَوَّلَ الأَمْر، ولكِنَّهُم تَذَكَّرُوا، حِينَ مُجِّدَ يَسُوع، أَنَّ ذلِكَ كُتِبَ عَنْهُ، وأَنَّهُم صَنَعُوهُ لَهُ. والجَمْعُ الَّذي كَانَ مَعَ يَسُوع، حِينَ دَعَا لَعَازَرَ مِنَ القَبْرِ وأَقَامَهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ الأَمْوَات، كَانَ يَشْهَدُ لَهُ. مِنْ أَجْلِ هذَا أَيْضًا لاقَاهُ الجَمْع، لأَنَّهُم سَمِعُوا أَنَّهُ صَنَعَ تِلْكَ الآيَة. فَقَالَ الفَرِّيسِيُّونَ بَعْضُهُم لِبَعْض: «أُنْظُرُوا: إِنَّكُم لا تَنْفَعُونَ شَيْئًا! هَا هُوَ العَالَمُ قَدْ ذَهَبَ ورَاءَهُ!». وكَانَ بَينَ الصَّاعِدِينَ لِيَسْجُدُوا في العِيد، بَعْضُ اليُونَانِيِّين. فَدَنَا هؤُلاءِ مِنْ فِيلِبُّسَ الَّذي مِنْ بَيْتَ صَيْدَا الجَلِيل، وسَأَلُوهُ قَائِلين: «يَا سَيِّد، نُرِيدُ أَنْ نَرَى يَسُوع». فَجَاءَ فِيلِبُّسُ وقَالَ لأَنْدرَاوُس، وجَاءَ أَنْدرَاوُسُ وفِيلِبُّسُ وقَالا لِيَسُوع.”

وهذِهِ صَلاتي أَنْ تَزْدَادَ مَحَبَّتُكُم أَكْثَرَ فَأَكْثَرَ في كُلِّ فَهْمٍ ومَعْرِفَة، لِتُمَيِّزُوا مَا هُوَ الأَفْضَل
رسالة القدّيس بولس إلى أهل فيلبّي01/من01حتى13/:”يا إخوَتِي، مِنْ بُولُسَ وطِيمُوتَاوُس، عَبْدَي المَسيحِ يَسُوع، إِلى جَميعِ القِدِّيسِينَ في المَسِيحِ يَسُوع، الَّذِينَ في فِيلِبِّي، مع الأَساقِفَةِ والشَّمامِسَة: أَلنِّعْمَةُ لَكُم، والسَّلامُ منَ اللهِ أَبينَا والرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ المَسِيح! أَشْكُرُ إِلهِي، كُلَّمَا ذَكَرْتُكُم، ضَارِعًا بِفَرَحٍ على الدَّوَامِ في كُلِّ صَلَواتِي مِنْ أَجْلِكُم جَمِيعًا، لِمُشَارَكَتِكُم في الإِنْجِيلِ مُنْذُ أَوَّلِ يَومٍ إِلى الآن. وإِنِّي لَوَاثِقٌ أَنَّ الَّذي بَدأَ فِيكُم هذَا العَمَلَ الصَّالِحَ سَيُكَمِّلُهُ حتَّى يَومِ المَسِيحِ يَسُوع. فَإِنَّهُ مِنَ العَدْلِ أَنْ يَكُونَ لي هذَا الشُّعُورُ نَحْوَكُم جَمِيعًا، لأَنِّي أَحْمِلُكُم في قَلبي، أَنْتُم جَميعًا شُرَكائِي في نِعْمَتِي، سَواءً في قُيُودِي أَو في دِفَاعِي عَنِ الإِنْجِيلِ وتَثْبِيتِهِ، فَإِنَّ اللهَ شَاهِدٌ لي كَمْ أَتَشَوَّقُ إِلَيكُم جمِيعًا في أَحْشَاءِ المَسِيحِ يَسُوع. وهذِهِ صَلاتي أَنْ تَزْدَادَ مَحَبَّتُكُم أَكْثَرَ فَأَكْثَرَ في كُلِّ فَهْمٍ ومَعْرِفَة، لِتُمَيِّزُوا مَا هُوَ الأَفْضَل، فتَكُونوا أَنْقِيَاءَ وبِغَيْرِ عِثَارٍ إِلى يَوْمِ المَسِيح، مُمْتَلِئِينَ مِن ثَمَر البِرِّ بِيَسُوعَ المَسِيحِ لِمَجْدِ اللهِ ومَدْحِهِ. أُرِيدُ أَنْ تَعْلَمُوا، أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَة، أَنَّ مَا حَدَثَ لي قَد أَدَّى بِالحَرِيِّ إِلى نَجَاحِ الإِنْجِيل، حتَّى إِنَّ قُيُودِي مِن أَجْلِ المَسِيحِ صَارَتْ مَشْهُورَةً في دَارِ الوِلايَةِ كُلِّهَا، وفي كُلِّ مَكَانٍ آخَر.”

Do not be afraid, daughter of Zion. Look, your king is coming, sitting on a donkey’s colt
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 12/12-22/:”The next day the great crowd that had come to the festival heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem. So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, shouting, ‘Hosanna! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord the King of Israel!’Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it; as it is written: ‘Do not be afraid, daughter of Zion. Look, your king is coming, sitting on a donkey’s colt!’ His disciples did not understand these things at first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written of him and had been done to him. So the crowd that had been with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to testify. It was also because they heard that he had performed this sign that the crowd went to meet him. The Pharisees then said to one another, ‘You see, you can do nothing. Look, the world has gone after him! ’ Now among those who went up to worship at the festival were some Greeks. They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and said to him, ‘Sir, we wish to see Jesus.’ Philip went and told Andrew; then Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus.

And this is my prayer, that your love may overflow more and more with knowledge and full insight to help you to determine what is best
Letter to the Philippians 01/01-13/:”Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, with the bishops and deacons: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. I thank my God every time I remember you, constantly praying with joy in every one of my prayers for all of you,because of your sharing in the gospel from the first day until now. I am confident of this, that the one who began a good work among you will bring it to completion by the day of Jesus Christ. It is right for me to think this way about all of you, because you hold me in your heart, for all of you share in God’s grace with me, both in my imprisonment and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel. For God is my witness, how I long for all of you with the compassion of Christ Jesus. And this is my prayer, that your love may overflow more and more with knowledge and full insight to help you to determine what is best, so that on the day of Christ you may be pure and blameless, having produced the harvest of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ for the glory and praise of God. I want you to know, beloved, that what has happened to me has actually helped to spread the gospel, so that it has become known throughout the whole imperial guard and to everyone else that my imprisonment is for Christ;”
