The Holy Pascha is a week filled with Holy memories of the most crucial stages of salvation and redemption in Christian history. We ask and pray that God may strength us and you in the faith that we may always praise him saying, “Thine is the power, the glory, the blessings and the majesty, forever, Amen.”
Let us also ask and pray ask for this Holy Week of Pascha of our Savior; that He may complete it for us in peace and bring us to the joy of His Holy Resurrection in safety, and forgive our sins.
The heavens rejoice in receiving our beloved father and friend, Abouna
Sorial Sorial. He reposed in the Lord on Friday, February 15, 2008 and has gone to the paradise of joy, the place out of which grief, sorrow, and groaning have fled away.
We pray that God may repose his soul and grant comfort to his family and children.

-An excerpt from His Holiness' book Words of Spiritual Benefit.Revised from the
original for translation and grammar.
To have a powerful effect on your spiritual life during Lent, you need to follow certain exercises.
These exercises, when you apply them to life's situations, will help you benefit from your fast:
To exercise giving up a specific sin, from the sins that prevail upon you, and which is repeated in many of your confessions.
To
exercise learning some Psalms from the Agpeya. You may choose one or
two Psalms from each of the seven prayers, especially the Psalms that
leave an effect on you.
To exercise learning the Bible readings
of the different hours, divide them into parts, analyse them, knowing
that for each prayer there are three or six parts.
To exercise the mental prayer of what you have learned. You may pray during work, on the road, while with people or at any time.
Use
these prayers, Psalms and Bible readings as a sphere for contemplation,
to enable yourself to pray them with depth and understanding.
To
exercise spiritual readings: either by reading from the Bible
regularly, with understanding and meditation, or reading the lives of
the Saints or some spiritual books, so that you gain a profitable yield
of deep readings.
During lent, you may exercise learning the
hymns of lent and the Passion Week, and repeating them until you are
full of their spirit. The same is true of Advent.
You may exercise a certain higher level of fasting, under the supervision of your spiritual father.
There
are many spiritual exercises in the field of dealing with people...
such as gentleness, patience, enduring others' weaknesses, controlling
anger, using words of praise and encouragement, serving and helping
others, kindness and meekness.
Other exercises in purity of the
heart: Such as modesty, inner peace, love of God, being satisfied
without grumbling, quietness with no disturbance, internal joy in the
spirit, faith and hope.
