New Priest Election PDF Print E-mail

H.H. Pope Shenouda delegated H.G. Bishop David to inquire about the youth's opinion about who they would nominate for a priest to serve the youth in our church.  H.G. Bishop David prayed the English Liturgy on Sunday, October 11, 2009 and after communion he distributed specially numbered ballots to the youth from ages 12 to 40.  H.G. then called and collected each ballot in order and they were placed in a pre-prepared box.  After the election, H.G. himself carried the box. Later on Sunday evening, H.G. tallied the results and informed the Fr. David Bebawy that Dr. Hany Nashed gained the highest number of votes.  By this tally, the youth have chosen Dr. Hany Nashed to serve them. 

Thanks to our God, who always answers our prayers and sends laborers to His harvest.  Thanks to our beloved Pope, who loves the youth and cares for them.  Thanks to H.G. Bishop David, who performed this important task with a wise method that gained everyone's satisfaction. 

Congratulations to the youth, congregation, and priests of our church, for a servant joining the service. Congratulations to Dr. Hany Nashed and his wife Dr. Mona Nashed who enjoy the love and trust of the majority.

Short Story No. 148

Who Supports Me?

A monk told me the following story:

I joined the monastery after having a prestigious job after graduation. I lived all my life spoilt by my family, friends and colleagues. While I was a novice I was asked to be responsible for baking. I poured water over the flower and this was my first time to bake. Few minutes later I felt tired as I had no experience in such a work. I asked myself, “Who will support me? I’m ashamed of asking God to help me do this earthly work. Is it fit to ask Virgin Mary the queen to help me? There’s no doubt that St. Demiana is experienced in baking as she was a mother to forty virgins.” I asked for her help and I really felt happy while baking. I finished baking and the monks were amazed how I finished so quickly. St. Demiana became my intercessor in this work which, with God’s blessing, was transferred from a manual work to a great joy. 

Thank You O the Lover of mankind,For giving me a cloud of witnesses surrounding me.It supports me for the salvation of my soul, It helps me reach a partnership with You.With it my life is transferred to a heaven.
