Journey of disobedient, Escaping God. Day one of fast of Nineveh

Excerpt taken from the Book : An Orthodox Spiritual Journey From Fast of Nineveh to Good Friday [Dn Medhanie].

The coming three episodes explore the theological significance of the Fast of Nineveh within the Orthodox Tewahedo tradition, centering on the Prophet Jonah’s attempt to flee God's command.. Sin is a deliberate separation from the Creator that often brings unintended suffering to both the individual and their community. Through the lens of the Ninevites' atonement, the authors emphasize that divine mercy is universal and always available to those who choose to repent. Readers are encouraged to stop running from their spiritual responsibilities and instead embrace the sacraments, such as Holy Communion and confession. The collection concludes with a heartfelt prayer for guidance, asking for the intercession of the Virgin Mary to find the path back to God’s grace.
