C\u00e9ad L\u00e9acht <\/em>(Eagna 2:12, 17-20). Daoraimis chun b\u00e1is n\u00e1ireach \u00e9.<\/em> T\u00e1 an l\u00e9acht seo t\u00f3gtha as an leabhar ar a dtugtar Eagna Sholaimh<\/em> (n\u00f3 n\u00edos com\u00f3nta in Eaglais an Iarthair Leabhar Eagna Sholaimh<\/em> n\u00f3 Leabhar na hEagna<\/em>). Cumadh an leabhar as Gr\u00e9igis san \u00c9igipt, is \u00e9 is d\u00f3cha\u00ed sa dara leath den ch\u00e9ad aois roimh Chr\u00edost. Ba \u00ed ba aidhm leis n\u00e1 creideamh na nGi\u00fadach a neart\u00fa i gcreideamh a sinsear. Bh\u00ed a l\u00e9itheoir\u00ed anois san \u00c9igipt, ag cur f\u00fathu i bpobal a bh\u00ed thar a bheith sofaistici\u00fail, le dul chun cinn suntasach d\u00e9anta san eola\u00edocht, sa litr\u00edocht agus i ghn\u00e9ithe \u00e9ags\u00fala den fheals\u00fanacht agus de religi\u00fain. L\u00e9argas amh\u00e1in a bh\u00ed chun tosaigh n\u00e1 nach raibh aon \u00e1it le bheith ag dearctha reiligi\u00fain n\u00e1 ag creideamh i nDia in\u00e1r mbeatha. An bheith ann at\u00e1 againn is de thaisme \u00e9, agus n\u00edl aon saol eile ann tar \u00e9is an chinn seo. T\u00e1 an seasamh seo curtha go l\u00e1idir sa sliocht a thagann d\u00edreach roimh l\u00e9acht an lae inniu (Eagna 2:1-5): \u201cDe dheasca a gclaonmhachnaimh d\u00fairt siad le ch\u00e9ile: \u2018Is gairid dobr\u00f3nach \u00e9 \u00e1r saol; agus nuair a bh\u00edonn an b\u00e1s ag teannadh leis an duine, n\u00ed bh\u00edonn aon leigheas aige air; n\u00e1 n\u00ed fios ar fhill aon duine \u00f3 ifreann riamh. \u00d3ir is de thaisme a rugadh sinn, agus san am at\u00e1 le teacht beimid amhail is nach rabhamar ann riamh. Puth deataigh at\u00e1 san an\u00e1il in\u00e1r bpoll\u00e1ir\u00ed agus n\u00edl in\u00e1r r\u00e9as\u00fan ach spr\u00e9ach a ghineann bualadh \u00e1r gcro\u00ed. Nuair a mh\u00fachfar \u00e9 d\u00e9anfar luaith d\u00e1r gcorp agus scaipfear an\u00e1il na beatha ar n\u00f3s an aeir neamhsheasmhaigh. Le himeacht aimsire ligfear ar n-ainm i ndearmad agus n\u00ed chuimhneofaidh aon duine ar \u00e1r ngn\u00edomhartha. S\u00e9idfear \u00e1r mbeatha chun si\u00fail ar n\u00f3s dhla\u00ed\u00f3g dheiridh scamaill agus scaipfear \u00ed mar cheobhr\u00e1n at\u00e1 \u00e1 th\u00f3ra\u00edocht ag gathanna na gr\u00e9ine agus \u00e1 chlo\u00ed ag a teas. Go deimhin n\u00edl in\u00e1r mbeatha ach sc\u00e1th a ghluaiseann thart; agus n\u00ed f\u00e9idir \u00e1r mb\u00e1s a chur ar gc\u00fal mar t\u00e1 s\u00e9ala curtha air; agus n\u00edl aon duine a fhilleann ar ais\u2019\u201d. Leanann an t\u00e9acs ar agaidh lena r\u00e1 gur ch\u00f3ir aoibhneas a bhaint as na maitheasa\u00ed at\u00e1 ann agus gur ionann neart agus ceart (2:8-12). Ba scannal agus ceap tuisle do na saoithe leis an l\u00e9argas sin go raibh i l\u00e1thair ina bpobal, n\u00f3 ann in aon chor, daoine le creideamh i nDia, i nDia a bh\u00ed ag f\u00f3namh orthu, daoine le c\u00f3d mor\u00e1lta foighde agus m\u00e1nlachta acu. Ba ch\u00f3ir duine c\u00f3ir lena leith\u00e9id de chreideamh a chur den fh\u00f3d. Cuireann l\u00e9acht an lae inniu s\u00edos ar an bplean at\u00e1 acu. Roghna\u00edtear an sliocht seo do liot\u00fairge an lae inniu le dul leis an soisc\u00e9al ina chuireann an fear c\u00f3ir eile, \u00cdosa, sios ar an bhfon\u00f3id agus ar an mb\u00e1s at\u00e1 amach roimhe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Salm le Freagra <\/em>(Salm 53[54]). T\u00e1 an Tiarna ag cosaint mo bheatha.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Dara L\u00e9acht <\/em>(S\u00e9amas 3:16-4:3). Lucht deanta na s\u00edoch\u00e1na, nuair a oibr\u00edonn siad ar son na s\u00edoch\u00e1na, cuirfidh siad an s\u00edol a bheidh an naofacht mar thoradh air. <\/em>I gceann de na Bi\u00e1ide deir \u00cdosa: \u201cIs m\u00e9aner do lucht s\u00edoch\u00e1na a dh\u00e9anamh, \u00f3ir glaofar clann D\u00e9 orthu\u201d. N\u00ed m\u00f3r do lucht d\u00e9anta na s\u00edoch\u00e1na a fhios a bheith acu c\u00e9ard iad na fr\u00e9amhacha a cuireann t\u00fas le himreas agus le heaspa s\u00edoch\u00e1na.Thug \u00cdosa aghaidh ar an gceist seo nuair a ch\u00e1in s\u00e9 gr\u00fapa\u00ed Gi\u00fadacha \u00e1irithe de bharr na b\u00e9ime a leag siad ar ghn\u00e9ithe seachtracha amhail n\u00edoch\u00e1n soith\u00ed agus l\u00e1mha. Leagann \u00cdosa an bh\u00e9im ar ghlaine chro\u00ed, m\u00e1thair an ghn\u00edmh. \u201cD\u00fairt s\u00e9 (\u00cdosa): \u2018An rud a thagann amach as an duine, sin \u00e9 a dh\u00e9anann neamhghlan an duine. \u00d3ir is \u00f3n taobh istigh, amach as cro\u00ed na ndaoine, a thagann drochsmaointe, bearta dr\u00faise, gada\u00edochta\u00ed, d\u00fanmharaithe, bearta adhaltranais, sainteanna, mallaitheachta\u00ed, cealg, ainriantacht, formad, ithiomr\u00e1, d\u00edomas, amad\u00e1ntacht. Is \u00f3n taobh istigh a thagann na drochnithe sin uile, agus d\u00e9anann siad neamhghlan an duine\u2019\u201d (Marcas 7:20-23). T\u00e1 beagnach an teachtaireacht ch\u00e9anna ag S\u00e9amas i l\u00e9acht an lae inniu. Ach n\u00ed teagasc eitici\u00fail amh\u00e1in at\u00e1 aige. Cuireann s\u00e9 b\u00e9im ar an eagna at\u00e1 \u00f3 lastuas, at\u00e1 mar fhoinse do na su\u00e1ilc\u00ed at\u00e1 glan contr\u00e1rtha do na du\u00e1ilc\u00ed seo. Mhol s\u00e9 lena l\u00e9itheoir\u00ed cheana (S\u00e9amas 1:5) gu\u00ed a dh\u00e9anamh ar an eagna sin. Sa l\u00e9acht seo t\u00e9ann s\u00e9 ar aghaidh leis an bhunch\u00fais at\u00e1 leis na fadhbanna is tromch\u00fais\u00ed taobh istigh den tion\u00f3l a ch\u00edoradh: cathanna, troid le ch\u00e9ile, fi\u00fa d\u00fanmhar\u00fa. Lu\u00edonn fr\u00e9amh na bpeaca\u00ed seo go l\u00e9ir, deir s\u00e9, i gcro\u00ed an duine: uaillmhian gan teorainn agus ainmhianta a dh\u00e9anfadh aon rud lena bhfuil uaidh a fh\u00e1il. Mar fhoirceann tugann s\u00e9 r\u00e9iteach d\u00f3ibh: gu\u00ed le mianta a gcro\u00edthe a fh\u00e1il, ach gu\u00ed le intinn ghlan, seachas lena n-ainmhianta a sh\u00e1samh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n An Soisc\u00e9al<\/em> (Marcas 9:30-37). Bh\u00e9arfar Mac an Duine ar l\u00e1imh do dhaoine. M\u00e1s mian le haon duine a bheith ar tosach, ni folair d\u00f3 bheith ar deireadh c\u00e1ch. <\/em>Ba \u00e9 an sliocht a l\u00e9adh i soisc\u00e9al an Domhnaigh seo caite n\u00e1 admh\u00e1il chreidimh i gCr\u00edost i gceantar Caesairia Philib. Ina dhiaidh sin t\u00e9ann cuntas Shoisc\u00e9al Mharcais ar aghaidh le labhairt ar chlaochl\u00fa Chr\u00edost \u201ci sliabh ard ar leithlgh\u201d, ar a leanann c\u00fapla eachtra eile, chun teacht go l\u00e9acht an lae inniu.

An ch\u00e9ad cheann d\u00edobh n\u00e1 an dara r\u00e9amhinsint a dh\u00e9anann \u00cdosa ar a ph\u00e1is \u2013 d\u00edrithe anseo ar a dheisceabail. (Is iad an d\u00e1 r\u00e9amhinsint eile n\u00e1 Marcas 8:31, d\u00edrithe ar na deisceabail uile, agus 10:32-34, don D\u00e1r\u00e9ag). Sa tr\u00ed r\u00e9amhinsint d\u00e9anann \u00cdosa tagairt d\u00f3 f\u00e9in mar \u201cMac an Duine\u201d.

I rith an aistir seo t\u00e1 \u00cdosa ag teagasc a dheisceabal \u2013 n\u00ed hamh\u00e1in an D\u00e1r\u00e9ag ach gach aoinne ar mhian leo \u00e9 a lean\u00faint, agus t\u00e1 an teagasc sin d\u00edrithe ar a ph\u00e1is. Ionann \u00e9 a lean\u00faint agus an masla a tugadh d\u00f3 agus a ph\u00e1is a bhrath. Tugann Marcas le fios n\u00e1r thuig na deisceabail a duirt s\u00e9 faoina uir\u00edsli\u00fa agus a ph\u00e1is, ag tuar staid a bheadh ag creidmhigh tr\u00edd na haoiseanna s\u00edos. Ba choir go mbeadh mar thr\u00e9ith ag an Eaglais, ag na creidmhigh uile, lean\u00faint uir\u00edseal Chr\u00edost mh\u00e1nla agus ch\u00e9asta seachas caithr\u00e9imeachas. Seo \u00ed an ch\u00e9ad mh\u00edr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n T\u00e1 an chead eachtra eile sa \u201cteach\u201d i gCafarn\u00e1um, teach Pheadair is d\u00f3cha.

Tugann \u00cdosa mar oide, mar mh\u00fainteoir (in shu\u00ed mar a oireann) treoir cheart san \u00e1bhar: ina r\u00edocht si\u00fad t\u00e1 luachanna daonna, polaiti\u00fala agus st\u00e1das curtha droim ar ais: an t\u00e9 ar mhian leis bheith ar tosach n\u00ed fol\u00e1ir d\u00f3 bheith ar deireadh, agus ina sheirbh\u00edseach ag c\u00e1ch.

Bheadh glaoch ar an D\u00e1r\u00e9ag agus an Eaglais glacadh in ainm \u00cdosa le daoine gan taca.
