These are words of thanksgiving to all the friends who have called me to provide the medicines I have written about (June 2). I will keep your names preserved in my heart. Are you aware of this? You have made me happy. I am not saying that this is new to me. The priests live ...

Today, we reached the last of the Sundays of Pascha which were summoned by the Gospel reading of the feast that said: "but as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God..." (John 1:12). You know the Gospels. They are all living examples of this re-birth. Those whom ...

Life consists of causes. However, the ultimate cause in it is for us to embrace that we are servants of God. Should this cause collapse, then all the causes of our life would collapse. God alone, that is, His service alone, gives meaning to our life.

Years ago, he left us to an Arab country. He got married, and had children. He is one of our young people who were captured by the Orthodox Youth Movement (MJO).

Yesterday, I begged a friend for a few pills of medicine he said he could spare. Most of you know. I am a priest who serves in an area I have been living in for more than thirty-three years. I estimate that there are nearly twenty pharmacies in it. Most of the pharmacists, if not ...

Days ago, my granddaughter Nour fell off her bicycle. The little ones do not grow up without the older ones decreasing! When she talked to her grandmother on FaceTime, she was wearing a mask. This was not the first time we see her following this tradition of the world imposed by the oppressive pandemic. We ...

I have a friend whose doctor has forbidden from smoking. The COVID-19 pandemic has made us forget that there are other malignant illnesses! My friend failed to follow his doctor's words. His wife urged me talk to him. I know the pleasure he thinks smoking can make him feel. I talked to him with his ...

I have known people who, if the brethren in the ecclesial communities languished, they would raise their requirement that they do not work in an environment where not everyone is working.
