Thanks father for sharing your great and practical thoughts in this great analogy …i wonder without those saints around us and their great life and great deeds , i wonder what our life would be ???!! through their prayers and intercession they set the good example for us ,help us , comfort us , strength our faith , hope , love and mercy towards our lord Christ and towards our fellow human …. however on the other hand , i believe the dangerous paaaaart which i believe a lot of our Coptic community are trapped in that they leave the worship of our God and all the time they look towards our great saints and i would not be astonished if some go further and worship them indirectly … having said that ,the other day also i could not believe what i saw in my way out of the church , i noticed some kids kneeling down and lighting candles and kissing the tomb of our late father Mina Nametalla .. i wonder where are the priests of the church to guide those least ????!!! also regarding our faith to worship only and only our lord Jesus Christ our congregation must be assisted and enlightened by our priests to understand that priests , bishops , metropolitan s and pope are humans like us , we love them and we admire them as the bible told us but they are around us for their great blessings and ritual aspects no more than that …look at those Coptic tv channels the highlight on the pope and bishops is more than the praising of the name of our lord !!!???finally i believe if Agios Pavlos had the chance to come again in our current life i believe ,he would be doing a lot of amendments in his messages and epistles to us in the bible because as Coptes i believe we exceeded any means beyond any expectations … having said that ,the other day i was walking in one of those busy corridors of Bankstown Hospital and suddenly an old peaceful man with long bear and mu stage and comfortable face sitting in one of those benches addressed me and left all those people going up and down and he asked “do you know the language of the king ???”i looked to him and i started to move slowly next to my wife , i said beg your pardon , he repeaaated his question again in a strong , firm , merciful way ??!! i asked what ??!! he repeated it again and then i answered him no and he told me think about it and i kept going in my way …my wife sloped and asked him , “Do you mean the bible ” he said yes …i believe it is a sign from God as like all human beings i have got a lot on my plate !!!!!??…. sometimes ,i wonder if God comes tomorrow , i wonder how many he will find around knowing the language of God , doing and accepting his will …mate i believe a lot of us need to go to basics and know the language of God …give it a thought pal …..
