widely accepted and implemented by all Ethiopians of The Holy Covenant at

home and abroad, as well as by all those true and concerned friends of Ethiopia

world wide. The special message of the website also appealed so that each one

of us, Ethiopians, and friends of Ethiopia, commit ourselves, wherever we are,

to the universal fulfillment of the present call launched in compliance with the

Living Word of the Prophecy which reads, "Ethiopia Stretches out Her

It is recalled that, Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God Services, upon the

request of Peace for Ethiopia web site, proposed the thirteenth Ethiopian month

of Pagume to be the appropriate and justifiable date set for this Prayer and

Fasting; and the latter had consented and committed itself to execute this

proposition based on the legitimate reasons summarized below:-

which time the Ethiopians of the Holy Covenant confine themselves, annually,

in prayer and fasting, in accordance with their age-old tradition: the tradition

that reminds them to receive the New Year, not only in renewed inspiration of

the soul, cleansing of the flesh and revival of the spirit, signified by the ritual of

scrubbing the household and utensils, laundering of clothing and washing of the

body with holy water, but also in the purification of the whole human innermost

person through repentance and partaking of the Holy Communion.

on the last days of the 3rd year, and on the Eve of the 4th year of the Great

Ethiopia's independent existence as the Kingdom of God on earth under the

Priestly Kingship of Jesus Christ and Maternal Queenship of the Virgin Mary.

Such unbroken existence of sovereignty affirms unequivocally the

conviction that Ethiopia, along with Her children, Ethiopians, remain at all

times, as in the past and in the present, so also in the future, within the Divine

Her children chastised whenever they transgressed, as is evident in the current

ordeal they are implicated, and reinstated whenever they repented, by the

Divine Justice, both the Holy Mother Country and Her Children enjoying, of

course, the constant protection of the Holy Covenant.

in the following words.

This implies the positive attainment of the perfect and supreme way of

life, physically, mentally (of the Soul) and spiritually, not only in the

forthcoming everlasting world, but also right now and right here in the

present world. Such a life of ideal nature is achieved only through the faithful

adherence and proper observance of the creed and worship, translated into good

precepts and deeds of the Ethiopianness of the Holy Covenant.

The stark reality that in the beginning of time of the genesis, The

Almighty God, bestowed "The Divine Peace" inherently upon Adam and Eve

which the latter, of their own desire and free will, choice and decision,

discarded outrightly despite the premonition of their Creator, only to be

redeemed at the end of time when God the Son became Incarnate in Womb of

the Virgin Mary, and sacrificed Himself for the Atonement of His Creation,

galvanizes the assetion of the foregoing notion. Thus, God, in His Benevolence,

rendered the original "Divine Peace", already two thousands and three years ago

and ever since, to be reinstated in the human body individually as well as in the

midst of society of humans collectively, as long as the latter truely seek for it

and remain faithful to The HOLY COVENANT.

fellowship collectively who remain worthy of this Divine Grace, the questions

as to why we definitely need to undertake this Prayer and Fasting within the

specified time, how we ought to carry it out, together with the conduct of its

implementation, and what would be the outcome of its proper execution on our

part, are all dealt with in the documents (currently composed in Ethiopic only)

attached herein. In order that we gather the sweet fruits of our fulfillment of the

commitment to pray and fast through our just and true worship, let us

immediately start to peruse these documents in earnest, with sincere attention

and meditation.

We pray the Merciful and Almighty God to grant us the full physical, mental

and spiritual capacity and preparedness to witness the occasion of the appointed

date of our Pagume Prayer and Fasting.
