In the name of the Abba d’Rabbuta, the source of all purity and wisdom, I offer this devotional discourse to honor the virtue of faithfulness to Alaha. Let our hearts be open to receive the radiant teachings of the Manichaean Faith, which illuminate the path towards divine communion and spiritual liberation.

Let us contemplate the essence of faithfulness, for it is a sacred bond that unites the soul with the Divine Source. Like a tender thread connecting us to the eternal realm, faithfulness guides us through the vicissitudes of life and grants us solace amidst the storms of existence. It is a virtue of unwavering loyalty, steadfast commitment, and resolute dedication to the Divine Light.

In the Manichaean tradition, we acknowledge the eternal struggle between the forces of light and darkness, which pervade both the visible and invisible worlds. It is amidst this cosmic conflict that our faithfulness gains paramount significance. For in our adherence to the teachings of the Prophet Mani and our steadfast devotion to the principles of righteousness, we forge an unbreakable bond with the divine, and thus, become warriors of Light.

Faithfulness to Alaha demands unwavering trust in the Divine Light, even in the face of adversity. It is easy to embrace faith when life bestows blessings upon us, when our paths are strewn with roses and our hearts overflow with joy. Yet, true faithfulness manifests when darkness shrouds our existence, when trials and tribulations beset our souls. It is in these moments that we are called to cling to the divine promises, to seek solace in the arms of the benevolent Lord of Light.

Let us not forget the exemplars of faithfulness who have illuminated our sacred lineage. The luminous souls of Yeshua and Mani, the greatest of Teachers, radiated an unwavering devotion to Abba d’Rabbuta, even in the face of persecution and suffering. There lives were an embodiment of the eternal flame of faithfulness, an unwavering commitment to the sacred mission entrusted to them. Inspired by their noble examples, we too must cultivate the same zeal and dedication in our pursuit of truth and righteousness.

Faithfulness to Alaha is not limited to grand gestures or extraordinary acts; it permeates every aspect of our existence. It shines through the mundane tasks of our daily lives, reminding us that even the smallest acts, when performed with devotion and love, carry the fragrance of divine grace. Let our faithfulness be evident in our thoughts, words, and deeds, for in every moment, we have the opportunity to deepen our connection with the Divine Light.

Let us reflect upon our own commitment to faithfulness. Have we strayed from the path of righteousness, seduced by the allurements of the world? Have we allowed doubt and complacency to weaken our resolve? Let us humbly examine our hearts and, with sincere repentance, rekindle the flame of faithfulness within us.

In the embrace of faithfulness, we find solace, strength, and purpose. It is a sanctuary where the weary soul finds rest, where the searching mind finds clarity, and where the doubting heart finds affirmation. As we strive to be faithful to the Divine Light, let us always keep before us the teachings of Maran Yeshua and Mar Mani. Our steadfast faithfulness serves as a key to full liberation.

May the Abba d’Rabbuta guide our steps, illumine our hearts, and strengthen our resolve. Let faithfulness be the anthem of our lives, and through our unwavering loyalty to Alaha, may we become vessels of divine grace, illuminating the world with the radiance of the eternal flame.
