I heard Metropolitan George Khodr say, in a public meeting: “the Christian who knows how to get married, is the monk”! You know that the monk vows celibacy, that is, chastity. In Christianity, the monk does not marry. What Metropolitan George said is a metaphor by which he meant that, basically, marriage is not founded ...

Together in the Depth
I was late in discovering the Christians in other Churches. I was slow to run to a sycamore tree that would help me see the Christ Who dwells with them and in them. In the early years of my commitment, words about them were tenacious that they believed only in themselves. I remember that one ...
Read moreBeing of One Mind
When the Apostle called us to be joined together in the same mind (1 Corinthians 1: 10), he knew that those who sell themselves to the beast are also of one mind (Revelation 17:13). In Christianity, being of one mind does not mean that people agree on everything, but that they reject the mind of ...
Read moreChange the World
Change the world. Love; those who are with you and those who seek refuge in you… give them of your time, your listening, and your experience in life. Give to your children and your friends… and to those whom you think you owe something. Rest assured, nothing changes the world other than that we love.

Two days ago, I took out from my library the hagiography of St. Anthony the Great, which was published by An-Nour Publications in 1995. For his feast tomorrow, preparations are due.

The overall scene in ecclesiastical communities does not conceal that many brethren who have received baptism do not care about the life of commitment in them, that is, they have not yet really become Christians! Here is a society, some of whom in it ...
Read moreRenewing Ourselves Today
This is my goal in these hasty lines. You know. There is no day without a past. Even our first day in this life carries a past that we have formed in our mothers' wombs. Here, the time of our awareness concerns me. The beginning of our renewal requires that we first accept that what ...
Read moreThe Everlasting New
In this life, do not expect salvation from the succession of days, but rather, anticipate it in the present day. Open your eyes well. God is here. This is the Everlasting New.
Read moreOn the Threshold of a New Year
Days pass for people in different ways. What I care about is the countenance of those who come to our day from God’s holiness. I have a friend who always reiterates to me, as if he were my mother and father: “give all your trust to the one you know prays”. You can realize the ...
Read moreA Realistic Testimony
The scholar Clement of Alexandria (+215) wrote that he knows Christians who, in order to help the poor, not only did they sell their possessions, but also sold themselves (as slaves). This is a testimony of Christ Who dwells in those who believe in Him, as God and Savior. No one like Him can convince ...
