This penetential celebration was added to the calendar in the 6th Century AD following an epidemic which ended after a period of penance and prayer. This year, Ba’utha will be celebrated on February 6th, 7th and 8th. The Pleading of Ba’utha In pain and tears and fervent prayer, we cry to you, good Lord above! Be our healer and our wise guide: deep are our wounds; bitter our pain. We have no right to plead to you: our faults abound, our malice soars. The sea and land, and all therein have quaked and raged due to our sin. In our own time, as Scripture says, the end of days has come upon us. In mercy, save us from distress, for height and depth have been confused. O Good Shepherd, come tend your flock, for whose sake you endured the cross. Make peace for us in Church and world, that we may live a tranquil life. May we be yours, as is your will: Father, and Son, and Holy Ghost. From age to age, amen, amen.

She was loved by many dear aunts, uncles and cousins. She graduated from the University of Baghdad and worked as the executive assistant to the director of the Central Bank of Iraq. Laila traveled throughout the Middle East and Europe with her friends. By all accounts, she was the apple of her father’s eye. After his death, the Talia family immigrated to the U.S. where Laila met her husband, Najib Jamil. Laila and Najib were married in 1968, had 4 children and relished their summer road trips throughout the national parks. Laila and Najib also enjoyed traveling and playing con-can with friends and family. They were together all the time and their banter brought smiles to everyone around them. Laila was a very protective and loving mother and grandmother. She enjoyed meeting new people and struck up conversations wherever she went. Laila was a huge Detroit Red Wings fan and loved watching hockey games with her late mother, her brothers and of course, Najib.

Laila also leaves behind 4 dear brothers: Shawqi, Lutfi, Makram (Jane) and Moehanid; 2 sisters, including her sister and best friend, Fawzia Saigh (Nedeem); and many loving nieces and nephews.

She was truly beautiful, inside and out, and had a sense of style that could rival the women on any red carpet. She radiated poise and elegance. Aida lit up any room she walked in to, was always smiling, and always having something nice to say to everyone. She would make everyone feel loved beyond measure and was unbelievably compassionate. Aida’s heart and generosity knew no bounds. Moreover, she was a woman of faith beyond all else. Always giving to charitable causes and continuously praying for her loved ones. She would always say “you get back in this life what you give.” Aida was devoted to her family and loved spending time with her children, grandchildren and great-grand-son. She enjoyed traveling, shopping, concerts, and visiting with friends and relatives. She was the epitome of fun. Most of all, she felt whole when surrounded by her family. She always continued to bless our family with her patience, wisdom, and unconditional love. Aida will be missed by all that knew and loved her. She will forever live in our hearts and memories. Therefore you too have grief now; but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you. John 16:22. FEBRUARY 2017 CHALDEAN NEWS 15
