Sunday School Curriculum Grade 10 At fifteen, Takla was ordained a deacon. He taught the Holy Scriptures and the Psalms as the grace of God was upon him. One day the boy went out hunting. Archangel Michael appeared to him and said, ―From now on, you will be a hunter of men. You will preach to them, heal them for you will overcome the devil with the power of God who dwells in you‖. Then the Archangel added, ―And from now on your name will be Takla Hymanot which is translated ―Pillar of the Faith‖. Takla gave all his money and possessions to the poor, and set off to preach the word of God to the nearby villages. He met some people who worshipped a tree. The saint went to the tree and with the sign of the cross he ordered it to move. With great power, the tree uprooted itself, and fell to the ground. Everyone was scared but Takla comforted them, and told them about Jesus‘ salvation and His authority. When the Ethiopian bishop Abba Cyril heard about him, he ordained him a priest. Takla Hymanot led a life of chastity, full of prayers and fasting. His unequalled goal was the salvation of his people. One time, he went to a pagan temple and began to destroy its idols. He was arrested, and taken to the prince. The prince had a sick son, who at that time was suffering a great deal. The saint had compassion on the boy and healed him. The same night, the prince, his wife and his son were baptized. When the king heard what happened, he was furious and ordered that Takla would be hanged. But when they tried to hang him from a tree, the tree bent down completely until its branches touched the ground and Takla was saved. The prince tried to convince the king to let him go. From the conversation they had, Takla realized that this was the same king that kidnapped his mother years ago. However, the king, in his rage, picked up a spear and tried to kill Takla. But the spear bounced back and hurt the king. Immediately, the saint prayed for him and healed his wound. The king realized his mistake, apologized to Takla and was baptized along with his entire household. The saint stayed with the king and the prince for twelve years, during which new churches were built and Christianity spread throughout Ethiopia. Later on, Takla Hymanot went to live in a monastery for six years. He used to do hard work and help the old and young. He was always humble and obedient to everybody. One day he was leaving the monastery, which was built on the tip of a steep mountain, as usual, they tied him with a rope and lowered him but all of a sudden the rope broke, and everyone screamed. But to their amazement, they saw six wings appear on the saint and he was able to fly down gently until he touched the ground. On his way back to his country from visiting the Holy Land, he stopped by Egypt and visited several of its monasteries. After he went back to Ethiopia, he was appointed for an important position (Atceegi), he served as link between the Ethiopian monks and the Egyptian bishop. We celebrate his departure on the twenty-fourth day of the blessed month of Misra. Conclusion: Let us learn to trust in God and His angels. Let us learn how to forgive those who hurt us. Let us appreciate the importance of caring for the poor in the life of this family. 172 AUGUST
