Prophet Elias




Holy Prophet Elias the Thesbite
Elias or Elijah or Eliahu or Eliyahu, whose name signifies, 
"Yahweh is (my) God", was one of the great prophets of the 
Old Testament. His actions are in the First and Second 
Books of Kings. St. Elias is honoured by both the Greek 
and Latin Churches on July 20. 
Elias was filled with zeal for spreading the word of God. 
He lived during the reign of King Achab (875-845 B.C.). 
Under the influence of his Tyrian wife Jezabel, King Achab, 
erected in Samaria a temple to the Tyrian Baal and 
introduced a multitude of foreign priests. Elias bid King 
Achab to summon the prophets of Baal to Mount Carmel for 
a decisive contest between the god of Baal and Yahveh, the 
God of the Jews. The issue was fought and Yahveh won. 

Elias was taken to heaven in a chariot of fire. 

The glorious Elias, the angel in body, the pillar of the 
prophets and second forerunner of Christ’s advent, by 
sending grace from on high upon Elisha, dispels diseases, 
purifies lepers and overflows with healing for those who 
honor him.


I need to know if

You're my true friend,
Will you be by my
Side until the end?
Can I tell you my secrets deep,
And trust them in your
Heart you'll keep?
I will give you joy and
Many warm smiles,
Can we share that even
Across many miles?
I will not forget what's
important to you,
will you remember what's
important to me too?
No matter how busy I
Will make time for you,
If you are busy will you
Make time for me too?
I will take your hand
And comfort your tears,
Will you hold me and
Soothe my fears?
With you my most
Favorite things I'll share,
If only I know that
You truly care?
If you can accept
Me as I do you,
Then I will know you are a friend most true.
The magical blue roses you
Have been sent ---
Are to let you know
That someone is thinking
Of you…







You Think of Me


It hardly matters where or when 
Or why it does begin
You think of me and then you'll find
You're also on my mind.

The day near gone, you hear my voice
As if it were no choice
You think of me, it makes you smile
It stays with you awhile.

It happens, and you can't deny
You know the reasons why
You think of me, I'm in you deep
Awake or in your sleep.

And as the night will have its time
You wish your lips on mine
You think of me, you can't ignore
It's you that I adore.
