T\u00e9ama: <\/em><\/strong>Craolaimid an Soisc\u00e9al n\u00ed d\u2019fhonn daoine a sh\u00e1samh ach d\u2019fhonn Dia a sh\u00e1samh.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n C\u00e9ad L\u00e9acht <\/em>(Am\u00f3s 7:12-15). T\u00e9ir agus b\u00ed id\u2019fh\u00e1idh do mo phobal Iosrael<\/em>. Go minic ionann an t\u00e9arma \u201cf\u00e1idh\u201d d\u00fainne agus daoine amhail Am\u00f3s, \u00cdse\u00e1ia, Irimia agus a leith\u00e9id\u00ed, na f\u00e1ithe de chan\u00f3in an Bh\u00edobla agus na hEaglaise. Thosaigh siad sin le Am\u00f3s thart ar 760-750 roimh Chr\u00edost. Ach bh\u00ed stair i bhfad n\u00edos aosta n\u00e1 sin ag an f\u00e1idhead\u00f3ireacht in Iosrael agus sna t\u00edortha thart timpeall air. Duine a measadh bheith i ndon teagmh\u00e1il a dh\u00e9anamh leis an saol eile a bh\u00ed san fh\u00e1idh, rud \u00e9igin mar at\u00e1 sa leath-rann Gaeilge: \u201cN\u00edor gh\u00e9illeas riamh do r\u00e1iteas file f\u00e1idh n\u00f3 draoi\u201d. Bh\u00ed bu\u00edonta d\u00edobh in Iosrael agus taobh amuigh de sna teampaill, ag r\u00edthe (ins na c\u00e9adta ar uairibh). Uaireanta tugadh mic (no clann-mhac) f\u00e1ithe ar a leith\u00e9id. Ionann uaireanta \u201cf\u00e1idhead\u00f3ireacht\u201d a dh\u00e9anamh agus titim bhfanntas, i dt\u00e1mhn\u00e9al, n\u00f3 iad f\u00e9in a ghearradh. N\u00ed gach aoinne a bheadh toilteanach \u201cmac f\u00e1idh\u201d a thabhairt air f\u00e9in. Ba \u00f3 r\u00edocht Iuda sa deisceart do Am\u00f3s, agus thug Dia air dul \u00f3 thuaidh go r\u00edocht Iosrael le d\u00edoltas D\u00e9 a bhagairt ar an r\u00edocht agus an r\u00ed-theaghlach sin de bharr a neamhaird ar an chonradh le Dia. Rinne Am\u00f3s sin i dteampall r\u00edoga Beitel. Thug Amaizi\u00e1, sagart an teampaill sin, rabhadh d\u00f3 filleadh \u00f3 dheas agus a chuid f\u00e1idhead\u00f3ireachta a dh\u00e9anamh ansin. Sh\u00e9an Am\u00f3s gur f\u00e1idh, n\u00f3 mac f\u00e1idh, a bh\u00ed ann i shean-bhr\u00ed an ghn\u00e1is sin, ach mar sin f\u00e9in d\u2019admhaigh s\u00e9 gur sheol Dia \u00e9 le f\u00e1idhead\u00f3ireach a dh\u00e9anamh. Bh\u00ed t\u00fas curtha le r\u00e9 nua. Ionann anois f\u00e1idh sa bhr\u00ed nua seo n\u00e1 labhairt tar\u00e9is teagmh\u00e1il phearsanta le Dia — t\u00fas le r\u00e9 ghl\u00f3rmhar na f\u00e1idhead\u00f3ireachta in Iosrael. Fin\u00e9ithe na f\u00e1ithe seo go bhfuil teagmh\u00e1il idir Dia agus an chine daonna i sl\u00ed faoi leith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Salm le Freagra <\/em>(Salm 138[139]).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dara L\u00e9acht <\/em>(1 Teasal\u00f3naigh 2:2-8). Craolaimid an Soisc\u00e9al n\u00ed d\u2019fhonn daoine a sh\u00e1samh ach d\u2019fhonn Dia a sh\u00e1samh.<\/em> Nuair a bh\u00ed P\u00f3l i dTr\u00f3as, in dTuirc an lae inniu, bh\u00ed asiling aige o\u00edche amh\u00e1in: bh\u00ed fear \u00f3n Macad\u00f3in (tuaisceart na Gr\u00e9ige) in a sheasamah ann agus ag imp\u00ed air agus ag r\u00e1: \u201cTar anonn go dt\u00ed an Mhacad\u00f3in ag cabhr\u00fa linn\u201d. Rinne P\u00f3l amhlaidh agus th\u00e1inig go cathair Filipi, \u00e1it a raibh m\u00f3r\u00e1n le fulaingt aige. Ar aghaidh leis ansin go dt\u00ed cathair Teasaloinic\u00e9. Bh\u00ed toradh f\u00f3nta ar a chuid saothair ansin, ach bh\u00ed naimhde l\u00e1idre aige a chuir ina choinne go tr\u00e9an le cl\u00famhilleadh de shaghasanna \u00e9ags\u00fala, ag ma\u00edomh go raibh s\u00e9 spreagtha le mearbhall aigne agus drochintinn, ag iarraidh daoine a mhealladh le plam\u00e1s, go raibh s\u00e9 sainteach agus ag lorg molta. Sa sliocht seo l\u00e9ir\u00edonn P\u00f3l nach bhfuil bun\u00fas leis na l\u00edomhaint\u00ed seo, agus ag d\u00e9anamh soil\u00e9ir an gr\u00e1 domhain a bh\u00ed aige don eaglais sin, agus c\u00e9 chomh d\u00e1ir\u00edre is a th\u00f3g s\u00e9 na dualgais mhor\u00e1lta a bhaineann le craobhscaoileadh an tsoisce\u00edl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Soisc\u00e9al <\/em>(L\u00fac\u00e1s 5:1-11). An l\u00e9acht \u00e1lainn seo as soisc\u00e9al L\u00fac\u00e1is cuireann s\u00ed b\u00e9im ar an ionad spesialta a bh\u00ed ag Peadar sa luath-eaglais, agus go deimhin sa chomhluadar Cr\u00edosta\u00ed.

D\u00edreach roimh an sliocht seo nuair a bh\u00ed an slua ag iarraidh ar \u00cdosa fan\u00faint leo san aon \u00e1it amh\u00e1in, agus gan iad a fh\u00e1gaint, d\u2019fhreagair s\u00e9: \u201cN\u00ed fol\u00e1ir dom dea-sc\u00e9ala r\u00edocht D\u00e9 a fh\u00f3gairt do na cathracha eile, \u00f3ir is chuige sin a cuireadh amach m\u00e9\u201d (L\u00fac\u00e1s 4:43).

Tosa\u00edonn an saothar seo go l\u00e9ir le mior\u00failt shiombalach in ar cheap siad clais mh\u00f3r \u00e9isc. Roghna\u00edonn \u00cdosa an b\u00e1d chuige sin: b\u00e1d Pheadair.
