Recite and recollect upon above Word of Aalaha and participate in the Prayers of the Hours and Holy Qurbana of our Church.
On this Sunday, we remember our lord and God of Mar Adai. Usually we set apart First day of the week or Sunday for only celebrating the Mysteries of Lord Isho Mshiha. It is the day of the Lord, day of Resurrection, day of Holy Qurbana…etc. usually we celebrate feasts of saints on Friday, the day of the suffering of our Mar Isho.
The period of resurrection is a special time where we see our Mar Mshiha’s revelation of resurrection to many. After the first Sunday of Resurrection, we celebrate the appearance of Risen Mar Isho before our Father Mar Thoma Sleeha. Here, it is the feast of Risen lord’s presence before Mar Thomma rather than the feast of Mar Thomma himself. As this fashion, our Mother Church presents, on the fifth Sunday of Resurrection, Mar Adai too.
Today’s Good news from Mar Yohannan adds to the saying that Mar Adai is one of the disciples outside the circle of 12. Mar (Lord) Mshiha, the Risen one, appeared before many disciples. (Yohannan 21:14)The Risen presence of Mar Isho Mshiha is again commemorated here, saying the name of one of His disciples. Mar Adai is known as the disciple of Mar Thomma too. Mar Adai and Mar Mari are known as the Slihe or Apostles of the East following Mar Thoma. And in their name our present order of Holy Qurbana, exists. This order reveals the importance and faith of the Fathers of the Early Church, namely Mar Adai… How can we proceed really- further, ignoring the early Fathers of the Church. Saying their name in reverence itself will be graceful before God.
A prayer to recite to recollect today
Lord and God of Mar Adai, have mercy on us.
