Before Torah Reading

Matthew 5:17­-20

Do not think that I came to dismiss the Torah or the Prophets. I have not come to dismiss, but to carry out. For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not one smallest letter or one stroke shall pass away from the Torah, until everything happens. Therefore, anyone who dismisses one of these small mitzvoth (Commandments), and thus teach the sons of men to do so, will be called little in the Kingdom of Heaven; but those who do and teach them shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven.

When Removing Torah From Ark

When the Ark set out, Mosha would say: Arise, O AdonYah, and Your adversaries will be scattered, and Your enemies will flee before You. For from Zion shall go forth the Torah, and the Word of Adon­Yah from Jerusalem. Blessed is He who in His holiness gave Torah to His people Israel.

The Torah which Moshe commanded us is the heritage of congregation of Ya’aqub. (Kiss the Torah)

The Book of Matthew

Ch 27

And when it was morning, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took council
against Yeshua, so that they might put him to death.
2 And they bound him, and took him and delivered him up to the governor Pilatos.
3 Then Yudah the betrayer, when he saw that Yeshua was convicted, repented. And he went and returned those thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders;
4 and said: “I have sinned, due to the fact that I have betrayed innocent blood.” And they said: “What is it to us? See to your own issues.”

5 And he threw the silver into the Temple, and leaving, he went and hanged himself.
6 And the chief priests picked up the silver, and said: “It is not lawful to put it in the treasury, because it is the price of blood.”
7 And they took counsel, and bought the potter’s field with it, to serve as a burial ground for strangers.
8 Therefore that field is called the Field of Blood to this day.

The Book of Psalms

Ch 108-112

O God, my heart is ready, my heart is ready; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory. 2 Awake, my harp; awake, psaltery and harp; I myself will awake early. 3 I will praise thee, O Mar- Yah, among the people; and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations. 4 For thy mercy is great to the heavens; and thy truth reaches to the heaven of heavens. 5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens, and thy glory above all the earth,

The Odes of Solomon

Odes 26

Fill for yourselves water from the living fountain of Mar-Yah, because it has been opened for you.
2 And come all you thirsty and take a drink, and rest beside the fountain of Mar-Yah.
3 Because it is pleasing and sparkling, and perpetually refreshes the self.
4 For much sweeter is its water than honey, and the honeycomb of bees is not to be compared with it;
5 Because it flowed from the lips of Mar-Yah, and it named from the heart of Mar-Yah.
6 And it came boundless and invisible, and until it was set in the middle they knew it not.
7 Blessed are they who have drunk from it, and have refreshed themselves by it. Halilu’Ya.

After Torah Reading

Psalm 119:1­8

Happy are they who are upright in the way, who walk in the Torah of Adon­Yah. Happy are they who keep His testimonies, that seek Him with the whole heart. They do no unrighteousness; they walk in His way. You have ordained Your precepts, that we should observe them diligently. Oh that my ways were directed to observe Your statutes! Then I would not be ashamed, when I have given diligence unto all Your mitzvoth. I will give thanks unto You with uprightness of heart, when I learn Your righteous ordinances. I will observe Your statutes; do not utterly forsake me.

Lord Yeshua, you who were brought forth by the very hand of God the Father, made known to the Blessed Mother Maryam, by the message of the angel Gabriel — I praise you, I thank you and I honour you with all my heart. It was you who said, ‘I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me, shall not hunger; and he that believeth on me, shall never thirst.’ Grant unto the presence of the Spirit of holiness as you promised to your disciples, so that I may understand the Word of God and the Will of the Father for me. Amen.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Forehead:”May I have the mind of Mshikha”, Mouth:”May I speak pure words of Torah”, Heart:”and may my heart be sealed”, Right shoulder: “in the blood of the Lamb”& Left shoulder :” Amen. ” God is One.

Or

Forehead:”Mshikha in my mind.”, Mouth:”Torah in my mouth.”, Heart:”The blood of the Lamb in my heart.”, Right shoulder:”In Yeshua’s Name.” & Left Shoulder:”Amen.”In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. God is One.

May Mar Yah Bless You and Keep You.
