Bh\u00ed P\u00f3l ag cur sios ansin ar r\u00fandiamhair chrois Chr\u00edost agus beidh s\u00e9 ag\nlean\u00faint leis sin inniu.

Th\u00e1inig cuid de na fealsaimh Eipici\u00faracha agus St\u00f3chacha ag pl\u00e9 leis\nchomh maith. Ag labhairt d\u00f3 faoin Soisc\u00e9al agus Ais\u00e9ir\u00ed (anastasis <\/em>sa Ghr\u00e9igis) mheasadar gur d\u00e9ithe iasachta a bh\u00ed \u00e1 bhf\u00f3gairt\naige.

Teip ghlan a bh\u00ed san\niarracht seo do Ph\u00f3l san Aithne, agus chuaigh s\u00e9 ar aghaidh go an Choraint ina\ndhiaidh.

Labhra\u00edonn s\u00e9 leo go d\u00edreach le teachtaireacht at\u00e1 beagnach dochreidte:\nSalann na tal\u00fan agus solas an domhain iad. T\u00e1 s\u00e9 ag cainnt le comhluadar\nGi\u00fadach, ach is l\u00e9ir go bhfuil misean na nAspal agus na hEaglaise don domhan\nm\u00f3r i raon radhairc cheana. N\u00ed salann agus solas iad do theaghlach amh\u00e1in, n\u00f3\ndo bhaile beag n\u00f3 bhaile m\u00f3r amhain, n\u00f3 fi\u00fa do phobal Iosrael, ach don domhan\nm\u00f3r ioml\u00e1n. L\u00e9ir\u00edonn na h\u00edomh\u00e1nna a mbaintear \u00fas\u00e1id astu aidhm an mhisin a\nbheidh acu.

Mar a chuir scr\u00edbhne\u00f3ir san \u00f3g-eaglais \u00e9 (sa dara n\u00f3 sa tr\u00ed\u00fa aois),\nagus an phag\u00e1ntacht f\u00f3s faoi r\u00e9im: \u201cIonann an t-anam don chorp agus Cr\u00edostaithe\nsa domhan\u201d, anam an domhain iad.

Baintear feidhm as lampa le solas a thabhairt,\nagus meabhra\u00edonn \u00cdosa d\u00e1 dheisceabail go bhfuil misean acu sa saol agus don domhan.\nThuig an eaglais \u00f3g sin go maith agus leagann litreacha Ph\u00f3il agus Pheadair\nb\u00e9im ar seo: na Cr\u00edostaithe mar l\u00f3chrann don domhan lena mbeatha Chr\u00edosta\u00ed,\nlena ndea-oibreacha.
