The Ten Commandments 1.0
The Ten Commandments were not given just forthe days of Moses the Prophet, nor for the olden times only, butthey are for all generations. till heaven and earth pass away, onejot or one tittle will by no means pass (Matt. 5:18).Yet, Christianity gave the commandments a certain concept thatcoincides with the sublimity of the New Testament. Thus, theCommandments remained without change but with a broader concept asGod allows with His Grace through contemplation.True indeed are the words of David the Prophet: "I have seen theconsummation of all perfection, But Your commandment is exceedinglybroad." (Ps. 119:96).H.H. Pope Shenouda III, Coptic Pope of the Patriarch of the Seeof St. MarkPlease, follow me on twitter @Christservant10 to get updatesabout the new books
Saint Mary in Orthodox Concept 1.0
We the Copts, are very honoured that the HolyFamily visited our land. Our spiritual love towards the SaviourJesus Christ and His mother is deep-rooted in our hearts, andappears in our daily life.We love St. Mary, the Virgin and mother of God, through whom wediscover the nature of her Son as the Incarnate Son of God. Herlife speaks of God's redeeming deed, and explains man’s role inattaining the heavenly life by the divine grace.St. Mary is our sister, who became an archetype of the Church,receiving a universal maternity to man. She loves the whole world,longing for the perfect salvation of every body.This is the spirit of the whole treatise which, under the guidanceof the Holy Spirit, sustained by the Holy Scripture, the Patristicthought and our church liturgies, I hope to discuss.FR.

The Spiritual Man 1.0
Perhaps this question is addressed to everyperson:Who are you? What is man?Some would answer: Man is a body, soul and spirit.Another would answer : Man is a living, sensible, talking, free,wishful creature.Others say - with a sense of humility - that Man is dust and ashes,as our father Abraham said about himself (Gen 18:27).All this is said about any man, then what is the accurate answer?We say it is the definition of the Spiritual Man according to theHoly Bible:HE IS THE IMAGE OF GODH.H.

The Epiphany & St John Baptist 1.0
While we celebrate the glorious feast of theEphiphany, we are gladto stop sometime for meditation:The feast of Epiphany is the feast of Baptism ......This feast is also called the feast of the divine manifestation(theTheophania).Because the Holy Trinity appeared in it: The Son is baptised,TheFather says from heaven: "This is My beloved Son, in whom I amwellpleased", and The Holy Spirit appears "like of a dove" (Matt. 3:16-17).Hence the baptism of the Lord Christ shows the creed of the HolyTrinity.H.H.

The Priesthood 1.0
These lectures began as part of a course oncomparative theology as requested by the Theological College, in1978 and then completed in 1981.Some of these lectures had in factbeen attacked by the Plymouth Brethren denomination in variousbooks, which opposes the fundamental sacrament of priesthood.Their oppositions are based on two grounds:1) The claim that there is only one priest in heaven and on earth,and He is the Lord Jesus Christ.2) The incorrect interpretation of the verse which says:(Rev 1:6) and has made us kings and priests to His God and FatherH.H.

Repentance, my brethren, is not only for thosebeginning their life with God, but is for everyone, even thesaints. It is part of our daily prayers. Every person needsrepentance, no matter how great his position or his spirituallevel. We are all in need of repentance, in need of it everyday,since we sin everyday. For there is no person without sin, even ifhis life was one day on earth. With repentance, we prepare ourhearts for the dwelling of God, and with purity, we will see God(Matt 5:8). Repentance is the beginning of the path towards God, itis a friend along the path till the end.H.H.

St. Mark 1.0
The first Egyptian Orthodox Church in theUnited States of America was named after Saint Mark. It was logicalto the early Egyptians who came to the States to choose his name.for their first church in their new country. St. Mark was theapostle and the preacher and the first bishop to their church. Heis the one who led their forefathers to accept the faith and toconfess that Jesus Christ is the Savior, and the Son of God. Theyhad always been appreciative to this great apostle.H.H.
