šš¾šš¾šš¾The Mystery of #Filseta:
The Assumption and Resurrection of the Holy Virgin Mary
(Part 1)
Grace to you, beloved of God, who cling with reverence to the traditions of the Apostles and who call blessed she who bore the Incarnate Word, the Virgin Mary. Today we unfold, as one would a scroll of gold and pearl, the divine mystery of Filseta the Dormition, Resurrection, and Assumption of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of God. Let every soul approach with trembling awe, for we speak not of earthly matters but of the hidden glory God has revealed through His chosen vessel.
What is Filseta?
The word Filseta (įįį°į³) arises from the GĆ«`Ć«z root felese, meaning to be born but not an ordinary birth. This is a spiritual rebirth, a passage not from womb to world, but from earth to the heavenly Jerusalem. In the context of Our Lady, it signifies the resurrection and glorious assumption of the Virgin Mary into heaven, body and soul a divine migration from Gethsemane to Paradise, from the grave to the Tree of Life.
Her Filseta is not myth or fable, but the triumphant exodus of the Queen of Heaven, who, having completed her earthly course in holiness, was not left to decay in the tomb, but was raised and glorified by her Son, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Her Earthly Journey: A Life Crowned with Grace
O you who ponder the majesty of God, consider how He prepared a dwelling fit for His own coming!
The Virgin Mary spent three years in the house of her parents, Joachim and Anna.
Twelve years she dwelt in the Temple, living in purity and prayer.
For nine months, the Word became flesh within her, in the house of Joseph.
She walked with her divine Son for thirty-three years and three months, serving not only as His Mother, but as His first and most faithful disciple.
After His ascension, she lived fourteen years under the care of the Apostle John the Theologian.
She reposed on Tir 21, in the 49th year of our Lord, at the age of sixty-four having fulfilled her ministry, not with noise or sword, but with meekness, humility, and glory unmatched.
The Rebellion of the Unbelievers
At her death, the Apostles, moved by love and duty, bore her body to Gethsemane. Yet the enemies of Christ, blind with envy and hardened of heart, rose again in hatred. āLet us burn her body,ā they cried, āso that none may claim she has risen, as they say of her Son.ā
Among them was a Jew named Taufania, who dared lay hands upon her sacred bier. But behold the judgment of God! An angel struck him, and his hands were made lifeless. Thus did heaven proclaim: āTouch not the Ark of God!ā
Then the Lord, descending with Saint John, took His Mother on a cloud of glory, placing her beneath the Tree of Life in Paradise. But the Apostles, not knowing this mystery, continued to pray and fast, from Tir 21 until Nehase.
The Apostles' Fast and the Revelation of Glory
From Nehase 1, the Holy Apostles entered into a profound fast, setting themselves apart, weeping and entreating the Lord with tears. Could they remain silent while she who gave birth to the Savior lay hidden from their eyes? No! Their love compelled them to call upon the God who hears.
After fourteen days, on Nehase 14, the Lord, who forgets not the cries of His saints, answered. He revealed to them the body of the Virgin, full of light and free from decay. With hymns and incense they buried her again, not in sorrow, but in wonder.
