🌳 On Holy and
Great Monday We Commemorate The Withered Fig Tree 🌳
❖
Monday (Holy Week). [Matt. 21] ❖❖❖
The Lord goes to a
voluntary passion. We must accompany Him. This is the duty of anyone
who confesses that by the power of Christ’s passion he has become
who he is now, and of anyone who hopes to receive something which is
so great and glorious, that it could not even enter one’s mind. How
must one accompany Him? Through reflection and sympathy. Follow the
suffering Lord in thought; and in your reflection extract such
impressions as could strike your heart and bring it to feel the
sufferings which were borne by the Lord. In order to better
accomplish this, you must make yourself suffer through perceptible
lessening of food and sleep, and an increase in the labour of
standing and kneeling. Fulfil all that the Holy Church does, and you
will be a good fellow-traveller of the Lord to His sufferings.
On Holy and Great Monday
we commemorate the blessed Joseph the All-comely and also the
withered fig tree. In as much as the Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ
has its beginning on this day, and as Joseph is regarded as an image
of Christ from former times, he is thus set forth here.
Joseph was the son of the
Patriarch Jacob, born to him by Rachel. Being envied by his brethren
on account of certain of his dreams, he was first concealed in a
dug-out pit, and his father was tricked by a bloody garment and the
deceit of his children into thinking that he had been devoured by
some beast. Joseph was then sold to some Ishmaelites for twenty
pieces of silver; they, in turn, sold him to Potiphar, captain of the
eunuchs of Pharaoh, king of Egypt. His wife was enraged by the young
man's chastity, because not wishing to commit sin, he fled from her,
leaving behind his garment. She slandered him to his master, and he
was put into bonds in a harsh prison. Afterwards, he was released
because of his ability to interpret certain dreams; he was brought
before the king and appointed governor of the whole land of Egypt.
Later, he was made known to his brethren through his distribution of
grain. Having spent the whole of his life well, he died in Egypt,
recognized as being great in his chastity and kindness toward others.
He is, moreover, a prefiguring of Christ. Christ was also envied by
His own people, the Jews: He was sold by a disciple for thirty pieces
of silver and was imprisoned in the dark and gloomy pit of the grave,
whence He broke out by His own power, triumphing over Egypt, that is,
over every sin. In His might He conquered it, and He reigns over all
the world. In His love for mankind He redeemed us by a distribution
of grain, inasmuch as He gave Himself up for us, and He feeds us with
Heavenly Bread, His own Life-bearing Flesh. For this reason, Joseph
the All- comely is brought to mind at this time. He is also
commemorated on the Sunday before the Nativity of Christ.
At the same time, we also
commemorate the withered fig tree, because the divine Evangelists
Matthew and Mark tell of it after their accounts of the palm
branches. One says, "Now the next day, when they had come out
from Bethany, He was hungry" (Mark 11:12); while the other says,
"Now in the morning, as He returned to the city, He was hungry.
And seeing a fig tree by the road, He came to it and found nothing on
it but leaves, and said to it, 'Let no fruit grow on you ever again.'
Immediately the fig tree withered away" (Matt. 21:18-19). The
fig tree, then, is the Jewish synagogue, in which the Savior did not
find the necessary fruits of obedience to God and faith in Him, but
only the leafy shade of the Law; He took away even this, leaving it
completely bare. But if anyone should ask, "Why did an inanimate
tree wither and fall under a curse when it had committed no sin to
make it wither?" It was because some people, seeing that Christ
went about doing good to all, never causing real suffering for
anyone, imagined that He had only the power to do good and not to do
harm. The Master, who loves mankind, did not wish to demonstrate His
power on a man and commit such a deed. To convince an ungrateful
people, however, that He also possessed the might to impose
punishment, but not wishing to use that power in His goodness, He
inflicted such punishment upon inanimate and insensible nature.
There is also another
mysterious explanation, which has come down to us from the wise
elders. As St. Isidore of Pelusium says, "This was the tree of
the transgression of God's commandment, whose leaves, the
transgressors, also used to cover themselves. Because it did not
suffer at that time, Christ, in His love for man, cursed it, so that
it would no longer bear the fruit that was the occasion of sin."
It is also quite clear
that sin is likened unto the fig, inasmuch as it possesses the
"delight" of sensual pleasure, the "stickiness"
of sin itself and the "hardness and sharpness" of a guilty
conscience.
The Fathers, moreover, put
the story of the fig tree here to arouse compunction and in relation
to the story of St. Joseph, since he is a prefiguring of Christ.
The fig tree is also every
soul which is devoid of all spiritual fruit. In the morning, that is,
after this present life, if the Lord finds no refreshment in such a
soul, He withers it with a curse and hands it over to the everlasting
fire. It remains standing as a dried-up post, striking fear into
those who do not produce the fitting fruit of the virtues.
Through the prayers of St.
Joseph the All-comely, O Christ our God, have mercy on us and save
us. Amen.

In these days, senior officials are traveling from the Middle East,
Asia, Europe and North America to Addis
Ababa to save THEIR Black Hitler, aka genocidal Abiy Ahmed, who

Even those nations that are one
another enemies, like: 'Israel vs Iran', 'Russia + China vs Ukraine +
The West', 'Egypt + Sudan vs Iran + Turkey', 'India vs Pakistan' have
now become friends – as they are all united in the anti-Christian,
anti-Zionist-Ethiopia-Conspiracy. This has never ever happened
before, it is a very curios phenomenon – a strange unique
appearance in world history.
Based on reports regarding the
conflict in Ethiopia's Tigray region (starting on November 4, 2020),
the historic Debre Damo monastery was reported to be destroyed or
heavily damaged during the conflict, with allegations suggesting it
was targeted by drones and heavy weapons.
👉 Here
are the key details regarding this situation:
Destruction of Debre Damo:
Reports from February 2021 indicated that the 6th-century Debre Damo
monastery was destroyed, with buildings on top of the mountain
ruined and ancient, invaluable manuscripts and treasures looted.
Allegations of Drone
Involvement: Reports from the Mekelle Diocese and various observers
alleged that many monasteries, including Debre
Damo, were bombed by UAE-supplied drones and other weapons during
the genocidal jihad.
The
Drone Controversy: While there were widespread allegations, some
experts and investigators argued that there was no definitive
evidence of United Arab Emirates (UAE) drones being directly
used by the Ethiopian Air Force, suggesting instead that the
Ethiopian government used its own Chinese-made Wing Loong drones or
Iranian-made drones. However, evidence indicated that the UAE
operated Wing Loong II drones from a base in Assab, Eritrea, and
provided significant logistical support to the Ethiopian military
during the conflict.
Looting and Destruction: In
addition to the bombing, the Debre Damo monastery was reportedly
looted by forces involved in the conflict.
Debre Damo is an isolated,
6th-century monastery located in Tigray, known for its
inaccessibility and its collection of ancient manuscripts.
