Story of The Day- 14/10/09

إنجيل القدّيس لوقا 21-16:12
ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ لَهم مَثَلاً قال: «رَجُلٌ غَنِيٌّ أَخصَبَت أَرضُه،
فقالَ في نَفسِه: ماذا أَعمَل؟ فلَيسَ لي ما أَخزُنُ فيه غِلالي.
ثُمَّ قال: أَعمَلُ هذا: أَهدِمُ أَهرائي وأَبْني أَكبرَ مِنها، فأَخزُنُ فيها جَميعَ قَمْحي وأَرْزاقي.
وأَقولُ لِنَفْسي: يا نَفْسِ، لَكِ أَرزاقٌ وافِرَة تَكفيكِ مَؤُونَةَ سِنينَ كَثيرة، فَاستَريحي وكُلي واشرَبي وتَنَعَّمي.
فقالَ لَه الله: يا غَبِيّ، في هذِهِ اللَّيلَةِ تُستَرَدُّ نَفْسُكَ مِنكَ، فلِمَن يكونُ ما أَعدَدتَه؟
فهكذا يَكونُ مصيرُ مَن يَكنِزُ لِنَفْسِهِ ولا يَغتَني عِندَ الله

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 11:42-46.
Woe to you Pharisees! You pay tithes of mint and of rue and of every garden herb, but you pay no attention to judgment and to love for God. These you should have done, without overlooking the others.
Woe to you Pharisees! You love the seat of honor in synagogues and greetings in marketplaces.
Woe to you! You are like unseen graves over which people unknowingly walk.”
Then one of the scholars of the law said to him in reply, “Teacher, by saying this you are insulting us too.”
And he said, “Woe also to you scholars of the law! You impose on people burdens hard to carry, but you yourselves do not lift one finger to touch them.
