Soolaakaa means Ascension


ܣܘܼܠܵܩܵܐ. The Aaramaya word Soolaakaa means Ascension of the Risen Isho Mshiha into Heaven. It is the feast of our Lord so it is important than all other feasts of the saints. Saints lead us to Him. Devotion to the saints must lead us to Risen Isho Mshiha, Bava and Ruha d Qudsha. If not so that devotion itself is wrong.
Do we give primary importance to the Feasts of the Lord?
Do we celebrate solemn form of the Holy Qurbana (Holy Rasa) at least on the feast of Isho who has given Himself as Holy Qurbana?
Do we meditate upon the Mystery of His Soolaakaa (Ascension) in Holy Qurbana and lead life thinking about the matters of Heaven?
Are we getting ready every day to receive Him in His second coming?
After receiving Risen Lord in Qurbana as Gift, do we share what we have, to those who are in need of basic needs?
Are we faithfully doing the services of the Hours, at least Ramsha Service, Sapra Service and Endana Service?
