On the 13th day of the Blessed month of Tuba we celebrate the lives of; Pistis, Helpis, Agape and their mother Sophia. St. Sophia was from a rich and noble family of Antioch. God granted her three beautiful daughters whom she named; Pistis which means faith, Helpis which means hope, and Agape which means love. Their mother's name, Sophia, means wisdom.Sophia took her three daughters to Rome to teach them the church subjects and to worship. When the report reached Emperor Hadrian, he summoned them. He tried to force them to forsake their Christian faith. Seeing them only as little children, he at first felt quite confident in his ability to convert them. However, their mother encouraged them to be steadfast in their faith of the Lord Jesus Christ.Pistis was twelve years old. Helpis was eleven years old. And little Agape was only nine. When the emperor saw their dedication to the faith he grew angry. Enraged at their commitment to Christ he set out to torture them one by one. He first tortured the older child Pistis. He had his guards tear at her body with whips, then cast her into a fiery furnace until finally they beheaded her. But during that torture she did not waver once.The Emperor then commanded the guards to torture the next daughter, Helpis. He ordered the guards to comb her body with hot sharp iron combs, then struck her neck with the sword. All of this happened in the viewing of the youngest sister Agape. The Emperor, as well as his guards, we're convinced the little girl was terrified, and therefore willing to recant her Christian faith. To their amazement, she did not. Overcome by sheer rage the Emperor ordered the guards to cast her into a fiery furnace, crush her body, and then finally beheaded her.During this horrific ordeal the blessed and beautiful Sophia prayed earnestly for the salvation of her children. She rejoiced exceedingly and thanked the Lord that her daughters had been steadfast in their faith and received the crowns of martyrdom. They had become brides to the Lord Jesus Christ. She took their bodies and shrouded them with expensive shrouds. She then asked the Lord to receive her spirit and the Lord hearkened to her prayer and she delivered her pure spirit into the hand of the Lord. The believers took their bodies and buried them with great honor..Lessons from this storyThis is a very hard story to hear. Any parent would be disturbed by these images. But there's no way to tell her story without showcasing what each of the daughters witnessed and endured. And though we of course celebrate the strength these little girls held in the face of such a horrible behavior, we must focus on the sheer importance their mother played in their salvation. There is no greater blessing than being a parent. But in truth, there are times of no greater source of frustration, aggravation, and fear.Our role as a mother or a father is to highlight the beauty, the truth, and the power a deep Christian faith brings to the individual. Children this day are bombarded with messages that have nothing to do with a Christian life. Virginity is more than just the Purity of the body, it's the purity of knowledge. For when we recall the story of Adam and Eve, they lived in purity because they knew not the difference of good and evil. They lived a life according to their first nature, which was created out of an abundance of love. They enjoyed a life without hardship, walking daily content and without any temptation whatsoever.The hardest thing for a parent is balancing work life and a family life. But not time with the family born out of an obligation, for a child knows when you are not really enjoying their company. But to see the true joy of time with our children. For one thing that is glaringly obvious about this telling of Sophia's story, that the thief in the night can come at any time.No one can fault a mother or a father for being tired at the end of a hard-working day. And I can promise you this, if you make some small effort to spend time with them, even when you're really really tired, they will truly appreciate that effort.My wife and I run a small business, a seasonal business. So there are about 3 to 4 months out of the year I come home, after working 12-14 hours that day, so tired all I want to do is just fall down. But I had three little children that wanted to play with their daddy. So when I got home, I would just fall down on the ground. And let the kids play. I would try to grab them and they would run, I would crawl around on the floor and they would ride me like a horse, very little effort really, but very impactful. A simple story? Of course. But Each of us who have children know that it's not the big efforts that make the most impact, it's the little efforts when they know we have no energy left, that they will never forget.Going to church, Reading the Bible together, asking about their day, making yourself available to help them with their homework, even though sometimes we're not really able to help that much, all of this helps to make sure the tree grows straight and true. Roots deeply grounded in a strong faith so they too may someday produce sweet fruit.So when we think about what St. Sophia knew was happening with her children, she did what a lot of us parents do, we let go and we pray day and night, saying “please God give them strength to fight this world so they may enjoy eternal life with you.”PrayerThank you God for this story. Purify our souls, our bodies, our spirits, our hearts, our eyes, our understanding, our thoughts and our consciences, so that with a pure heart, an enlightened soul, and unashamed countenance, a faith unfeigned, a perfect love, and a firm hope, we may dare with boldness, without fear, pray to you oh Lord, the holy father who is in heaven, for the protection of our children. And glory be to God

St Isidore and His FamilyOn the 19th day of the Coptic month of Bashons we celebrate the life of St Isidore and His Family.Isidore was born in Antioch and his father's name was Bandalaon, who was a nobleman in the Roman Empire under Diocletian. His mother's name was Sofia and he had a sister whose name was Ophimia. Their parents raised them in the Christian faith.When Diocletian apostatized, Bandalaon and his son Isidore left all their possessions and went secretly to a mountain where they lived with a holy man whose name was Abba Samuel.When the Emperor knew of what had happened, he brought them before him, and he tried to persuade Bandalaon to abandon his Christian faith with promises of wealth. But Bandalaon remained strong and refused the emperor’s temptations. The Emperor grew angry and threatened Bandalaon, who was no longer paying attention to what the Emperor was saying, presumably praying to God. At the Emperor’s decree, a soldier cut off his head.Young Isidore, who was only twelve years old, witnessed his father’s strength. The guards tortured him with all kinds of horrible tortures. But he endured. His mother and sister were beside him often during his trial, comforting him and strengthening him to endure for the sake of Jesus Christ. In the end, the Emperor ordered all of them to be beheaded. They all received the crowns of life.Lessons from this storyThis story is more than the telling of the life of one saint, but of a family of four saints. Isidore truly was incredible, at such a young age, to endure what is recorded as horrible tortures. But truly he was inspired by his father’s truth in conviction. It is truly important how we practice what we preach when it comes to our children. For they see more than we think they do, and they find out when we are being hypocrites. As my father said to me, “do as I say not as I do.” As child I obey, but as I got older I did not find wisdom in those words. But just saying, “do as I do.” Is not always enough to win the hearts of our youth, for often times we do something without truly explaining why we do it.I came to the faith late in life, so I asked many questions. Many answers I found, but sometimes the answer was “I don’t know, just tradition I guess.” Or the youth would simply tell me, “Because my parents said to.”It is not enough to set an example, but to explain the importance of what we do and why we do it, otherwise the youth will be easily discouraged. Our faith is rich with history, steeply found in every liturgy, but not all aspects are universally known. Even some of our daily practices such as, praying, reading the bible, fasting and many more do not resonate with the youth if it comes by command instead of revelation.St Bandalaon and St Sofia raised their son and daughter in the Christian values. But the depth of a trees roots are not known until the mighty wind comes. Then will the weak rooted trees fall while the strong rooted tree endure.If we can always take time explain, reveal and enlighten our youth, then we are truly servants of Christ. For in them we invest.PrayerThank you God the children you place in our care, for helping realize they are not our children, but Your children on loan to us. Help us to guide them straight and true through this world unto the path of eternal life.

St DomicosOn the 27th day of the Coptic month of Baramhat we celebrate the life of St Domicos.During a time of peace between Persia and Rome, King Sapor of Persia travelled to pay tribute to the lover of God, Emperor Constantine. A dispute took place between Emperor Julian and Sapor, king of Persia. Sapor prepared an army to fight the Romans. Julian offered sacrifices to his idols in the city of Cassius, which was about six miles from Antioch where the temple of Apollon was. Julius went along with magicians, sorcerers and an army to meet the Persians. On his way he passed by an isolated place, where he saw a multitude of men, women, and children.When he asked about this multitude they told him: "A monk who lives in a cave in this place, performs miracles and heals the sick. The multitudes that you see are the Christians that came to get his blessing and be cured of their various illnesses." Julian became enraged and sent a soldier to to confront this monk called Domicos. The soldier threatened the monk saying: "If you are living in this cave to please God so why are you seeking the gratitude of men? Why don't you hide yourself from them?" Domicos replied, "I have given my soul and body to the hands of the creator of heaven and earth, the Lord Jesus Christ, and spent many years in seclusion in this cave. As for those who come to me with a strong faith, I can not dismiss them." When the Emperor heard his answer, he ordered his soldiers to seal the mouth of the cave with a wall, sealing Domicos inside where he delivered up his soul in the year 362 AD. Lessons from this storyThis is perhaps the shortest detail of a saint’s life we have come across so far. Which is a tribute to the humility of this Saint’s life. But his account, or that is to say, the miracles and wonders he performed in the name of Jesus Christ are what led us to know his story.Faith is accepting something at face value, even when there is not strong evidence to prove or disprove. With so little detail available today about this saint’s life, his miracles performed and the multitude of lives brought to Christ by his service is unknown. But the year this took place, it is very likely truthful and accurate.We may never know the true impact our lives have had over others. How we react in times of crisis, trials and tribulations may have a tremendous impact on those around us without us ever knowing. “Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.” (Matthew 5:15) Our faith in God is infectious, and when we demonstrate that faith even in the midst of our darkest hours can this light shine for others to see.Saint Domicos did not seek fame, only complete servitude to the Will of God. And the fame the soldier saw with human eyes, as mentioned in this story, was not glory to the monk but to Jesus. So in truth, the torturous death laid against this monk by the passing emperor, the sealing of the cave, was actually a relief to the humble monk. For all we know, this may have even been in answer to a prayer by the monk.PrayerGod help us in our struggle with this world to ever keep our eyes on you and the eternal prize that awaits those who persevere in your name. May the prayers and intercessions of this humble Saint Domicos be with us always, amen.

It was released on August 21, 2001 as the lead single from their third studio album Silver Side Up (2001). A "Gold Mix" was made for latter editions of the single with the heavier guitars edited out of the chorus. Lead vocalist and guitarist Chad Kroeger wrote the song about his old girlfriend Jodi, with whom he had a dysfunctional relationship. He referred to this song as the song that put Nickelback on the map when played at their concert in Sturgis, South Dakota, and it is often considered to be their signature song.Lyrics:Never made it as a wise manI couldn't cut it as a poor man stealingTired of living like a blind manI'm sick of sight without a sense of feelingAnd this is how you remind meThis is how you remind me of what I really amThis is how you remind me of what I really amIt's not like you to say sorryI was waiting on a different storyThis time I'm mistakenFor handing you a heart worth breakingAnd I've been wrongI've been downInto the bottom of every bottleThese five words in my head screamAre we having fun yetYet, yet, yet, no noYet, yet, yet, no noIt's not like you didn't know thatI said I love you and I swear I still doAnd it must have been so bad'Cause living with him must have damn near killed youAnd this is how you remind me of what I really amThis is how you remind me of what I really amIt's not like you to say sorryI was waiting on a different storyThis time I'm mistakenFor handing you a heart worth breakingAnd I've been wrongI've been downInto the bottom of every bottleThese five words in my head, screamAre we having fun yetYet, yet, yet, no noYet, yet, yet, no noYet, yet, yet, no noYet, yet, yet, no noNever made it as a wise manI couldn't cut it as a poor man stealingAnd this is how you remind meThis is how you remind meThis is how you remind me of what I really amThis is how you remind me of what I really amIt's not like you to say sorryI was waiting on a different storyThis time I'm mistakenFor handing you a heart worth breakingAnd I've been wrongI've been downInto the bottom of every bottleThese five words in my head, screamAre we having fun yetYet, yetAre we having fun yetYet, yetAre we having fun yetYet, yetAre we having fun yetYet, yet, no, noVideo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cQh1ccqu8MFollow us on Instagram, Facebook & Twitter: @1001songsthatmakeyouwanttodie Email us with any song suggestions: 1001songsthatmakeyouwanttodie@gmail.comSupport the show (https://paypal.me/pools/c/8p4yD1sVwP)

St Verena On the 4th day of the Coptic month Thout (September 14) we celebrate the departure of St. Verena.Verena came from a noble Christian family from the region of Thebes (which is now called Luxor). They advised her to go to Bishop Sherimon of Beni Suef, who instructed her in the Christian faith and later baptized her. Verena joined the Theban legion on its mission to Switzerland and the soldier’s relatives were allowed to accompany them in order to look after their needs and attend to the wounded. She was a close relative of St. Maurice. After St. Maurice and his legion were martyred, she led an isolated and life of a hermit, fasting and prayer daily. God performed many miracles through her.The saint served as a spiritual guide for young girls and, as a nurse, also looked after their physical well-being. As a result of her fame, the ruler arrested her and sent her to jail, where St. Maurice appeared to her. His spirit consoled and strengthened her. After she was released from prison, she traveled to several regions. God continued to perform miracles through her. She also led many people to the Christian faith.Verena was fond of serving the poor, often feeding them. She tended to the sick, especially those suffering from leprosy. She lovingly treated their wounds fearless of their contagious disease. The Holy Virgin Mary appeared, strengthening her before her eventual departure. In 1986, a delegation from the St. Verena Church of Zurich Switzerland, brought her holy relics to Egypt.Lessons from this storyThis is a great lesson in the importance of service. St Verena is renowned for her service to the poor and sick. We all play an integral role in the economy of God through our various services. And as St Paul says in his epistle to the Corinthians, we are one body with Christ as the head. So the service we provide can be different, just as the foot is different from the hand. For St Verena, she faced the most outcasted people of the time, the lepers. These were regarded as vermin for their disease was very contagious. Yet St Verena tended to them with the same love and care as a loved one.Being Christian is by definition ‘being like Christ’. So being like Christ is to remember that he chose to be among the most excluded, the most disreputable, the most wretched, the poor, self-hating and diseased among us. It is a scary thought serving as Christ did. If your service is born out of pride and vanity, then it and you will fail. But service born out of love, as Christ loves, succeeds. St Verena loved the poor and sick as Christ did. She conveyed a reverence to God through human dignity.It is hard for us at times to look beyond what we see in another person, and to see only God’s creation. St Verena shared a love for a stranger as we share with our parents, child or spouse. Try to see God in all whom you encounter.PrayerLord, help us to see all whom we meet as your children. To look beyond the human condition and present perfect in Christ the human dignity God shows us all. May the prayers and intercessions of St Verena be with us all. Amen.

Ascetic.St Marina, the AsceticOn the 15th day of the Coptic month Mesra, the church celebrates the commemoration of the departure of the nun known as St. Marina the Ascetic.She was the daughter of a very rich Christian man. Her name was Mariam, and her mother died when she was little girl. Her father raised her, and brought her up well. When he wanted to give her to marriage, and to go himself to be a monk in one of the monasteries, she told him, “O my father, why would you save your own soul, and destroy mine?” He answered saying, “What shall I do with you? You are a woman.” To which she responded with, “I will take off my woman’s dress and will put on the garb of a man.”She rose up straightway, shaved her head and put on the garb of a man. When her father saw her strong determination and persistent desire, he gave all his possessions to the poor, keeping only a little for himself, and he called her Marina instead of Mariam (Mary).They went to one of the monasteries, and lived in one of the cells together for ten years, fighting the spiritual fight. When her father, who was old, died, Marina was left alone. She doubled her fasting, prayers and increased her asceticism. No one knew that she was a woman, and they attributed her soft voice to her intense asceticism and vigilant prayers.The abbot of the monastery sent her, together with three monks, to the city on certain business on behalf of the monastery. They lodged at a local inn. That same night, one of the king’s soldiers also lodged in that same inn. This soldier lusted for the daughter of the lodge’s owner, and took her virginity. After this evil act, he instructed her to tell her father, that the young monk, Father Marina, did this horrible thing to her. When she had conceived a child and showed signs of the coming birth, she told her father the lie that it was Father Marina.Her father then became angry, went to the monastery and began to curse and insult the monks. The Abbot met with him, comforted and calmed him down and then sent him away. The Abbot then called Marina and scolded her fiercely. When she knew what had happened, she wept and bowed down and said, “I am young, I have sinned, forgive me O my father.” The Abbot, blinded by this embarrassment, cast her out of the monastery.She dwelt outside of the monastery for a long time. When the daughter of the innkeeper had the baby, her father took the new born to Marina, set the child down before her and left. She took the child, moved among the surrounding shepherds and nursed him with milk. She increased her fasting and prayers following her expulsion from the monastery.The monks took pity upon her and asked the Abbot for her return. The Abbot consented to their request and allowed her to return to the monastery after he had laid heavy penalties and severe rules upon Marina. She performed very hard labors, such as cooking, cleaning, and watering, as well as her regular monastic duties.When the child grew, he became a monk. After Marina had completed forty years, she fell ill for three days then departed in peace. The Abbot requested the monks remove her old ragged clothes and prepare her with new ones prior to carrying her to the place of praying. When the monks removed her clothing and found that she was a woman, they all shouted out saying, “God have mercy.”They informed the Abbot. He came, marvelled at the stoic purity of this wonderous monk, and wept bitterly because of what he had done to her. The Abbot then called the innkeeper and told him that the monk Marina was a woman not a man. The innkeeper went to where her body was and also wept bitterly.As they prayed over her body one of the monks, who had sight only in one eye, put his face close to her body. Immediately he gained sight in his blind eye.God allowed a devil to torment the innkeeper’s daughter and soldier. Her friend brought them to where the Saint was buried and both confessed their sin in front of everyone. God manifested innumerable miracles through her blessed body. Lessons from this storyThis is truly a remarkable story for I must confess I am not certain I would have the ability to withstand such a wrongful claim when I am empowered with the obvious truth - as Marina clearly was. But she so loved her dedication to a monastic life that she accepted this trial and tribulation without complaint. What example can we learn from such a stoic example of obedient humility? We are all, at times, falsely accused - either directly or indirectly. It is in our nature to defend ourselves and yet we must remember that vanity sometimes controls our life. St John Chrysostom once wrote that even after a monk has released himself from the world and all its possessions, he struggles with perhaps the hardest to let go - our reputation.The Bible verse in Matthew 6:1-4, is very clear about reward for charitable deeds. Those done in front of others are rewarded with their praise. But those born in secret are rewarded by God. This saint’s story is quite an extreme example of this, which is why her body performed miracles even after her spirit returned to God. This is because she never allowed it to be defiled, neither by deed, thought or word.When you are wronged or falsely accused, try and stop your immediate response (which is always invariably delivered with a violent temper) and count to ten. Then address the complaint calmly and rationally always knowing that your Father always knows the truth.PrayerLord, help us to be strong when attacked by the devil and his evil ways. Teach us to endure as you did, as did your prophets and saints. That though this endurance we may shine a path of eternal peace for those who witness. May the prayers and intercessions of Saint Marina be with us all. Amen.
