Jonah and the Spirit of Revelation

One of the amazing aspects of Jonah's story is his view of God, as opposed to the amazing revelation of God to Jonah of who He is. Jonah had a wonderful view of God, but not the perfect one. He was able to preach to the gentile sailor and the passengers boarding the ship, in which he said to them, "I am a Hebrew; and I fear the Lord, the God of heaven, who made the sea and the dry land." (Jonah 1:9, NKJV). Read Full Article by Fr. Abraam Sleman at revelationfellowship.net. Listen to Hymns for the Fast of Jonah

Ordination of Fr. Daniel Abdelmaseih by H.H. Pope Shenouda

ImageIn a church full of joy and chanting, His Holiness Pope Shenouda III, the Pope and Patriarch of the See of St. Mark and the head of the Coptic Church, ordained Fr. Daniel Abdelmaseih as a priest for St. Mark's of Jersey City, the oldest Coptic Church in the United States. His Holiness was accompanied by H.G. Pisenti, Bishop of Helwan, H.G. Bishop Boutros, H.G. Bishop Macarius, H.G. Bishop Youannes, Secretary of His Holiness, H.G. David, General Bishop of North America, and H.G. Youssef, Bishop of Bolivia.

Over three hundred of the church's congregation attended this momentous occasion listening joyously to His Holiness Pope Shenouda as he instructed the new priest for the care of the congregation and made everyone laugh with his unique sense of humor.

Fr. Daniel Abdelmaseih is the third priest at St. Mark's and will be serving with Hegumen Fr. Abraam Sleman and Rev. Fr. Markos Ayoub. The newly ordained Fr. Daniel will spend his first forty days in the Monastery of St. Pishoy in Wadi ElNatroun Egypt, where he will receive the rites of the Divine Liturgy and the Holy Sacraments and prepare himself for service.

May the God of heavens keep for us the life of H.H. Pope Shenouda III for many years and peaceful times.
