Rabbiyoow, ii naxariiso ina cafi.

Falka qoomamaynta

Ilaahaygiyoow, waxaan qoomamaynayaa, kana tiiraanyoonayaa dhammaan dembiyadeyda, waayo dartood baan ciqaab kaaga mutaystay; waxaa iiga sii daran in aan ku xumeeyey adiga oo ah wanaagga aan dhammaaneyn istaahilana in wax walba adiga lagaa jeclaado. Anigoo kaashanaya gargaarkaaga quddusan, waxaan goostay in aanan mar dambe ku xumeyn, kana cararo fursad kasta oo i dambaajineysa. Rabbiyoow, ii naxariiso ina cafi.

Rabbiyoow, noo naxariiso!

Masiixoow, noo naxariiso!

 

Rabbi Ciisoow, Ilaaha nool Wiilkiisoow, ii naxariiso anigoo dembilow ah.

 

Ilaahoow kaalay i badbaadi.

Rabbiyoow degdeg iigu soo gargaar.

Masmuur 50: Iigu naxariiso, Ilaahoow (Miserere mei Deus)

 Iigu naxariiso, Ilaahoow,

sida naxariistaadu u weyn tahay,*

oo jeceylkaaga weyn igaga tirtir dembigeyga.

Iga dhaq dembigeyga oo dhan,*

oo iga nadiifi xumaantayda.

Waan qirsanahay dembigeyga,*

xumaantayduna weligeed waa i hortaal.

Adiga, adiga keliya ayaan dembi kaa galay,*

oo wixii indhahaaga ku xun

baan anigu sameeyey.

Si xaqnimadaadu u muuqato

marka aad xukumayso,*

toosnaanta go’aankaaguna ay u caddaato.

Haddee xumaan baan ku abuurmay*

oo uurkii hooyaday dembi baan kaga dhashay.

Adigu waxaad doonaysaa

Iillaahinnimada qalbiga,*

moolka naftaydana wa xaad bartaa

caaqilnimadaada.

Hisoobka igugu firdhi,

waan sifaysmi doonaaye,*

i dhaq, caanaha waan ka caddaan doonaaye.

I maqashii hadal farxad iyo reyreyn leh,*

lafihii aad jejebisey

farxad bay la kici doonaan.

Wejigaaga ka jeedi dembiyadeyda,*

oo iga baabi’i xumaantayda oo dhan.

Igu abuur, Ilaahoow, qalbi nadiifsan,*

oo igu cusboonee ruux hagaagsan.

Hortaada ha iga cayrin*

hana iga ceshan ruuxaaga quddusan.

I sii farxadda badbaadintaada*

oo igu adkee ruux kuu jilbaysan.

Kuwa qaldan waxaan tusi doonaa jidkaaga,*

dembilowyaashuna adiga

ayey kuu soo noqon doonaan.

Iga xoree qaanta, Ilaahoow,

Ilaaha badbaadiyahayga ahoow,*

carrabkaygu xaqnimadaada ayuu faanin

doonaa.

Rabbiyoow bushimahayga fur,*

afkayguna wuxuu ku dhawaaqi doonaa

ammaantaada.

Adigu kuma farxaysid sadaqo xooleed,*

haddi aan xoolo kuu qalana ma yeelaysid.

Sadaqada aad doonaysid

waa ruuxa toobadkeenka ah,*

qalbi qoomamaysan oo hooseysan, Ilaahoow,

ma yasaysid.

Persecution update: Two Christian women beheaded in public by Al-Shabaab

The following information is taken from Christian Today Australia. To read the article in full from its original source click here. Please continue to pray for the persecuted Christians of Somalia. The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church, may the prayers of these two Christian heorines who are now enjoying God's presence in Paradise interceed for their afflicted brethren in Somalia. And may their sacrifice add to the foundation of a glorious Church in Somalia. RCMS

"Islamic extremists from the rebel Al Shabaab militia last week publicly beheaded a mother of two girls and her cousin in southeastern Somalia after discovering they were Christians, sources said.

In the port town of Barawa in the Lower Shebelle Region, the extremists on March 4 called residents to the town centre to witness the executions of the 41-year-old mother, Sadia Ali Omar, and her 35-year-old cousin, Osman Mohamoud Moge, the sources said.

Before killing them, an Al Shabaab militant announced, “We know these two people are Christians who recently came back from Kenya – we want to wipe out any underground Christian living inside of mujahidin [jihadists’] area,” according to an area resident whose name is undisclosed for security reasons.

Omar’s daughters, ages 8 and 15, were witness to the slaughter, sources said, with the younger girl screaming and shouting for someone to save her mother. A friend helped the girls, whose names are withheld, to relocate to another area.

“We are afraid that the Al Shabaab might continue monitoring these two children and eventually kill them just like their mother,” the area resident said.

The militants from Al Shabaab – which has vowed to rid the country of the Christian fellowships, which meet secretly as leaving Islam in Somalia is punishable by death – became suspicious of Omar and Moge due to their irregular attendance at Friday mosque prayers, sources said.

“The two people who were killed on many occasions did not take Friday prayers seriously, especially Omar, who claimed that she was praying in her house,” another area resident said.

Another source noted of Al Shabaab, “They have some spy everywhere in Somalia.”

Somalis who have lived in Christian-majority Kenya are especially suspect. The sources said Omar lived in the Nairobi suburb of Eastleigh for seven years; her husband became ill in 2011 and returned to Somalia, where he died. Omar and her cousin Moge, who helped take care of her daughters, left Kenya for Somalia in January 2013.

Barawa reportedly came under Al Shabaab control in 2009. In October 2013, a U.S. Navy SEAL team raided a beachside house in the town in an unsuccessful search for Al Shabaab leader Mukhtar Abu Zubeyr."

The only Catholic presence in the boundless Somali region of Ogaden

The following inspiring article is taken from Fides News Agency, to read the article from its original source, click here. Please keep this heroic missionary priest and his mission to the Somali people of the Ogaden region in your prayers. RCMS
 

The Ogaden region of Ethiopia, bordering Somalia, and containing mostly ethnic Somalis

"Father Christopher Hartley Sartorios, Spanish, a 55-year-old diocesan missionary from Toledo, is the only Catholic priest who has ever reached the Somali region of Ethiopia called Ogaden, where he has been living alone for 7 years in Gode, a territory which is 100% Muslim.

During a recent visit to Rome, he told Fides Agency how he began his mission there. 'In February 2007 I attended a meeting of the Missionaries of Charity in Addis Ababa with Sister Nirmala, the then Superior General of the Missionaries of Charity of Mother Teresa, and the Regional Superior for Ethiopia', says Fr. Sartorios . 'I had planned to go to any place on earth where the nuns did not have a house because there was no priest. As we stood in front of a huge map of Ethiopia where 16 houses of the Sisters of Mother Teresa with 100 sisters were marked I realized that there was absolutely nothing in the entire eastern part of the Country. The sisters told me that in that region, on the border with Somalia, there had never been any presence of the Catholic Church'.

This is a totally Muslim area, mainly composed of ethnic Somali nomadic clans. 'After the conversation' - continues the missionary - 'I began to reflect and repeat to myself: the Church has never arrived in the Somali region of Ethiopia? I got closer to the map and saw that in this immense desert, along the border with Somalia there was a name written in capital letters, so I thought it was the largest and most populated city, Gode, close to a river, the Wabi Shebele, which from Somalia flows into the Indian Ocean'.

So this is how Father Christopher now finds himself in the region called Ogaden, in Gode, a town with less than 50 thousand inhabitants, three quarters of whom are illiterate. 'The Missionaries of Charity accepted my proposal after discussing the project with the Archbishop of Addis Ababa, Berhaneyesus Souraphiel, who wanted to explain that I was going to live in a very dangerous place and that I had to inform my Bishop of Toledo, Cardinal Antonio Cañizares, who gave me his blessing. Now I am here alone, waiting for the arrival of the Sisters of Mother Teresa. Almost every day I celebrate Mass alone or with up to 3 or 4 members. I am sure that the Lord wanted me here because I am a priest and if there is no priest there is no Eucharist. Now I am in communion with the bishop of the Apostolic Vicariate of Harar, Msg. Woldetensay, to which the region belongs, even though we are separated by more than a thousand miles of sand and the nearest Catholic priest is 700 miles away.' (AP) (Agenzia Fides 04/03/2014)"
