عندما نبدأ قراءة رسالة بطرس الأولى ، نسير عبر رسالته القوية حول المثابرة في التجارب، واثقين من أن تلك الآلام تنقي محبتنا وإيماننا من خلال تعليمنا أن نحب الله من أجل نفسه، وليس فقط المواهب التي يباركنا بها. أخيرًا، بينما نختتم رسالة كولوسي، نسلط الضوء على دعوة القديس بولس لدعم التزاماتنا تجاه الآخرين في المجتمع، وفي عائلتنا، وفي عملنا. نقرأ اليوم 1 بطرس 1-2، كولوسي 3-4، وأمثال 30: 10-14. As we begin reading 1 Peter today, we are walked through Peter's powerful message about persevering in trials, trusting that those sufferings purify our love and faith by teaching us to love God for his own sake and not just the gifts he blesses us with. Finally, as we wrap up Colossians, we highlight St. Paul's call to uphold the obligations we have to others in society, in our family, and in our work. Today we read 1 Peter 1-2, Colossians 3-4, and Proverbs 30:10-14. I am reading using the Arabic Jesuit Catholic version from Holy Bible App which can be accessed on the app/website.

ونحن نسلط الضوء على سر القداسة الواضح في قدرة بولس على رؤية رحلته الشاقة إلى روما على أنها إرادة الله. كما أننا نزيل الالتباس فيما يتعلق بتوجيه بولس للزوجات بأن يخضعن لأزواجهن، ونلفت انتباهنا مرة أخرى إلى دعوتنا إلى المحبة والخدمة بينما نكون خاضعين لبعضنا البعض من منطلق توقير المسيح. قراءات اليوم هي أعمال 27، أفسس 4-6، وأمثال 29: 22-24. we highlight a secret to holiness visible in Paul’s ability to see his arduous trip to Rome as the will of God. we also clears up confusion in regards to Paul’s direction for wives to be subject to their husbands, again drawing our attention to our call to love and serve while being subject to each other out of reverence for Christ. Today’s readings are Acts 27, Ephesians 4-6, and Proverbs 29:22-24. I am reading using the Arabic Jesuit Catholic version from Holy Bible App which can be accessed on the app/website.
