3 First Reading Philippians 2:12-18 Therefore, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed me, not only in my presence, but much more now in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who is at work in you, enabling you both to will and to work for his good pleasure. Do all things without murmuring and arguing, so that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, in which you shine like stars in the world. It is by your holding fast to the word of life that I can boast on the day of Christ that I did not run in vain or labor in vain. But even if I am being poured out as a libation over the sacrifice and the offering of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you and in the same way you also must be glad and rejoice with me. رسالة القد يس بولس إلى أھل فيلب ي.18-12:2 يا إخو ت ي إ ع م ل وا ل خ الص ك م ب خ و ف ور ع د ة ك م ا أ ط ع ت م د ائ م ا ال في ح ض ور ي ف ح س ب ب ل ب األ حرى وب األ ف ٱ ھ و ال ذي ي ج ع ل ك م ت ر يد ون وت ع م ل ون ب ح س ب م ر ض ات ه. إ ف ع ل وا ك ل ش يء ب غ ي ر ت ذ مر و ج د ال ل ك ي ت ص ير وا ب س ط اء ال ل وم ع ل ي ك م وأ ب ن اء ال ع ي ب فيك م و س ط ج ي ل م ع و ج وم ن ح ر ف ت ض يئ ون م ت م سك ين ب ك ل م ة الح ي اة ٱلف ت خ ار ي في ي وم الم س يح ب أ ن ي م ا س ع ي ت وال ت ع ب ت ب اط ال. لو أ ن د م ي ي ر اق على ذ ب يح ة إ ي مان ك م وخ د م ت ه ل ك ن ت أ ف ر ح وأ ب ت ھ ج م ع ك م ج م يع ا. ف ٱف ر ح وا أ ن ت م أ ي ض ا وٱب ت ھ ج وا م ع ي. كث ر اآلن في غ ي اب ي. فيه كالن ي رات في الع ال م Gospel Reading Matthew 25:1-13 Then the kingdom of heaven will be like this. Ten bridesmaids took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. When the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them; but the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps. As the bridegroom was delayed, all of them became drowsy and slept. But at midnight there was a shout, "Look! Here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him." Then all those bridesmaids got up and trimmed their lamps. The foolish said to the wise, "Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out." But the wise replied, "No! there will not be enough for you and for us; you had better go to the dealers and buy some for yourselves." And while they went to buy it, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went with him into the wedding banquet; and the door was shut. Later the other bridesmaids came also, saying, "Lord, lord, open to us." But he replied, "Truly I tell you, I do not know you." Keep awake therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour. إنجيل القد يس مت ى.13-1:25 قال الر ب ي سوع:» ي ش ب ه م ل ك وت ال سم او ات ع ش ر ع ذ ار ى أ خ ذ ن م ص اب يح ھ ن وخ ر ج ن إ لى ل ق اء الع ريس خ م س م ن ھ ن ج اھ الت وخ م س ح ك يم ات. ف الج اھ الت أ خ ذ ن م ص اب يح ھ ن ول م ي أ خ ذ ن م ع ھ ن ز ي ت ا. أ ما الح ك ي م ات ف أ خ ذ ن ز ي ت ا في آن ي ة م ع م ص اب ي ح ھ ن. وأ ب ط أ الع ريس ف ن ع س ن ج م يع ھ ن ور ق د ن. وفي م ن ت ص ف الل يل ص ار ت ال صيح ة: ھ و ذ ا الع ريس! أ خ ر ج وا إ لى ل ق ائ ه! حين ئ ذ ق ام ت أ ولئ ك الع ذ ار ى ك لھ ن وز ي ن م ص اب يح ھ ن. فق ال ت الج اھ الت ل لح كيم ات: أ ع ط ين نا م ن ز يت ك ن أل ن م ص اب يح ن ا ت ن ط ف ئ. ف أ ج اب ت الح كيم ات وق ل ن : ق د ال ي ك ف ين ا وي ك ف يك ن. إ ذ ھ ب ن ب األ ح ر ى إ لى الب اع ة وٱب ت ع ن ل ك ن. ول ما ذ ھ ب ن ل ي ب ت ع ن ج اء الع ريس ود خ ل ت الم س ت ع دات إ لى الع ر س وأ غ ل ق الب اب. وأ خير ا ج اء ت الع ذ ار ى الب اق ي ات وق ل ن : ي ا ر ب ي ا ر ب ٱف ت ح ل ن ا! ف أ ج اب وق ال: أ لح ق أ ق ول ل ك ن إ ن ي ال أ ع ر ف ك ن! إ س ھ ر وا إ ذ ا أل ن ك م ال ت ع ل م ون الي و م وال ال ساع ة.
