Labhair an f\u00e1idh c\u00e9anna go minic leo ar an \u00e1bhar c\u00e9anna: bh\u00ed an Tiarna a nDia lena saoradh agus iad a thabhairt siar abhaile tr\u00edd an fh\u00e1sach go dt\u00ed a dt\u00edr dh\u00fachais. Tosa\u00edonn an t-aitheasc fada gur chuid de an l\u00e9acht seo leis briathra seo D\u00e9: \u201cAnois, seo mar a deir an Tiarna, do chruthaitheoir, a Iac\u00f3ib, agus fear do dhealfa, a Iosrael: N\u00e1 b\u00edodh eagla ort, \u00f3ir t\u00e1 t\u00fa fuascailte agam; ghlaoigh m\u00e9 ort i d\u2019ainm, agus is liomsa th\u00fa.

I dt\u00e9acs na litreach roimh l\u00e9acht an lae inniu tugann s\u00e9 rabhadh don na Filipigh bheith san airdeall faoi dhaoine \u00e1irithe, go h\u00e1irithe Gi\u00fadaigh a bh\u00ed ag iarraidh cur isteach orthu le n\u00f3sanna Gi\u00fadacha de r\u00e9ir dealraimh, \u00e1 ma\u00edomh gurbh iad f\u00e9in pobal d\u00edlis D\u00e9, ag ma\u00edomh as an gcolainn agus an timpeallghearradh. Tugann sin P\u00f3l le ma\u00edomh go bhfuil ar a chumas f\u00e9in mao\u00edmh as an gcolainn chomh maith, ach n\u00ed dh\u00e9anann mar is faoi an\u00e1il an Spioraid, seachas le muin\u00edn sa cholainn, a adhrann seisean agus na Cr\u00edostaithe Dia agus is as \u00cdosa Cr\u00edost at\u00e1 a muin\u00edn. Ach tugann P\u00f3l a dhinti\u00fair mar Gh\u00edudach. I dtaca le f\u00edr\u00e9antacht chreidimh \u00f3 thaobh an Dl\u00ed Ghi\u00fadaigh de bh\u00ed s\u00e9 gan ch\u00e1im. Ach leanannn s\u00e9 air lena r\u00e1, d\u00edreach roimh l\u00e9acht an lae inniu, go raibh na bunt\u00e1ist\u00ed sin a bh\u00ed aige \u00e1irithe anois gur caillteanas glan iad mar gheall ar Chr\u00edost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Th\u00e1inig an t-athr\u00fa sin air lena choinne le Cr\u00edost ar an mb\u00f3thar chun na Damaisce. I l\u00e9acht an lae inniu tugann s\u00e9 an bua thar barr air sin: aithne a chur ar \u00cdosa Cr\u00edost, a Thiarna \u2013 n\u00ed eolas faoi Chr\u00edost, ach aithne phearsanta air. N\u00ed eisp\u00e9aras don aon uair amh\u00e1in a bh\u00ed sa teagmh\u00e1il le Cr\u00edost ach rud lean\u00fanach, agus ag scr\u00edobh na litreach seo d\u00f3 deir s\u00e9 nach raibh uaidh an tr\u00e1th sin ach aithne a chur ar Chr\u00edost agus ar \u00e9ifeacht a ais\u00e9ir\u00ed agus bheith p\u00e1irteach le Criost ina phiol\u00f3idi agus cos\u00fail leis ina bh\u00e1s. Ba mh\u00f3r an rud an coinne sin le Cr\u00edost agus le gr\u00e1sta D\u00e9, nuair a rug Cr\u00edost \u201cgreim\u201d air. Ach n\u00edor chuir glaoch sin D\u00e9, n\u00f3 an ghairm chun na naofachta, saorthoil Ph\u00f3il ar ceal. Bh\u00ed air comhoibri\u00fa le gr\u00e1sta D\u00e9 ina thuras chun na foirfeachta. Leanann s\u00e9 air, deir s\u00e9, leis an duais a bhreith leis mar go bhfuil beirthe air f\u00e9in ag Cr\u00edost. Ag machnamh ar a bheatha deir P\u00f3l nach raibh s\u00e9 tagtha chun foirfeachta go f\u00f3ill; ba \u00ed an sprioc n\u00e1 gl\u00f3ir neimhe agus beatha le Cr\u00edost sa saol eile. Ag machnamh d\u00f3 ar dheireadh shaolr\u00e9 Ph\u00f3ilm a laoch agus a \u00edoc\u00f3n, cuireann \u00fadar an Dara Litir chuig Tiom\u00f3id na briathra seo ar bheola Ph\u00f3il: \u201cT\u00e1 uair mo scar\u00fana buailte liom.

Bh\u00ed \u00cdosa c\u00e1irdi\u00fail le teaghlach na B\u00e9at\u00e1ine (thart ar 3 cilim\u00e9adar \u00f3 Iar\u00fasail\u00e9im), M\u00e1ire, Marta agus Lazaras. Ar chloisint faoi thinneas Lasaras d\u2019\u00cdosa d\u00fairt s\u00e9 nach chun b\u00e1is ach le go dtabhaharfa\u00ed gl\u00f3ir do Mac D\u00e9 (sin le r\u00e1 d\u00f3 f\u00e9in) tr\u00edd an ngalar sin. N\u00ed th\u00e9ann s\u00e9 go Lasaras l\u00e1ithreach, ach ligeann s\u00e9 d\u00f3 b\u00e1s a fhail. Bh\u00ed Lasaras ceithre l\u00e1 b\u00e1saithe nuair a shrois \u00cdosa an tuama.
