The Story of the Two Bishops

The commemoration of Christ’s passion and resurrection has eclipsed the memory of the kidnapping of Archbishops Boulos Yazigi, and Youhanna Ibrahim. Is there anything sweeter than being deemed worthy of getting eclipsed by the victory of the living Christ? I am not sugarcoating the crime of kidnapping, any kidnapping, its injustice and insanity. I am not coloring the ambiguous reality, over the years, with words from the clear thoughts of my Church. I am talking about the intervention of Pascha this year. Has Pascha seen us giving up hope of waiting? Has it noticed that we got numb, with the conviction that their story is over? Has it seen that we are of no use? I am not aware of their fate. However, Pascha revealed that it wants to prove its own knowledge! Today, Pascha is saying: “in fact, I have concealed the memory of their kidnapping only to tell you and all those who think that there is, on this earth, a place that is not penetrated by my light: I, alone, will write the ending of this story. I, I am the strongest”!
