Fr. Gabriel Wissa

An unworthy priest of the The Lord Jesus Christ... serving the Coptic Orthodox Congregation...

[Fr. Gabriel Wissa @FrGabrielW]

Humanity is under the illusion that it has mastery over itself. We think we know better. We continually eat of the tree of the knowledge of good & evil, seeking knowledge independently of God. We have tried this path and failed. It is time to give in & submit to the All-Knowing.

[Trad West @trad_west_]

This is what true Christians look like: fearless in the face of death.

Excited to announce that the COA team has set 2 dates for interview-style podcasts to be recorded very soon. In the meantime, pls find an excerpt from the first homily-style podcast by Fr. Anthony. The full podcast is available on the YT podcast channel.

In the Orthodox faith Tradition isn't a rigid constraint, but a wellspring of abundant life, a dynamic engagement in the Spirit that embraces the vibrant pulse of generations past, present, and future, a living, breathing testament to the Truth

@AnaADHDAvenger This verse is usually quoted by most in reference to Scripture but when you look at verse 13, it is clear that it refers to the Son of God as it says “no creature is hidden from HIS sight” and “HIM to WHOM we must give account”… clear example of regurgitating verses w/o context

[Fr. Gabriel Wissa @FrGabrielW]

In Hebrews 4:12, it says: the word of God is living and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword… and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart… which word of God is the verse referring to? Hint: read verse 13.

[Fr. Gabriel Wissa @FrGabrielW]

@AnaADHDAvenger With pleasure…

"Knowledge concerning God is king (most precious) of all desires and every sweetness of the earth is superfluous to the heart that has received it. For there is nothing which can be likened to the sweetness of the knowledge of God. ~St. Isaac the Syrian

The Christians of Egypt are suffering. In a matter of a week, a Coptic priest was stabbed to death, a Coptic mother & child were kidnapped, beaten, & forcibly converted to Islam, & a Coptic child was forced to stop eating during fasting hours. More people should know about this.

@AndrewNAYoussef No Way! That’s a great blessing!

[Fr. Gabriel Wissa @FrGabrielW]

@andrewnayoussef I bet you it’s a great book!

[Alexandrian Orthodoxy @AlexandOrthodox]

My good friend has published this excellent introduction to the Oriental Orthodox Church. Buy this sweeping but yet very approachable introduction to the Oriental Orthodox, I am sure it will be worth your time! @CopticAnswers @suscopts @copticskopos @FrAnthonyMourad @FrGabrielW

[Fr. Gabriel Wissa @FrGabrielW]

In today’s Nativity liturgy, we mystically participate in the event of Our Lord’s incarnation. The Creator entered His creation to renew it and deliver it from the bondage of death & corruption. The Timeless & Immaterial Being entered into time & matter to reunite it again to Him

[Fr. Gabriel Wissa @FrGabrielW]

@_MarkMarcos_ I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt 😉 (this time). Don’t let it happen again.

[Fr. Gabriel Wissa @FrGabrielW]

@frvijay Interesting father… thanks for sharing

@CTowersCBS @TooMuchMe Vaccination doesn’t slow spread whatsoever for the delta variant. And it seems it is the same for omicron. The 2 main current variants.

[Fr. Gabriel Wissa @FrGabrielW]

@TooMuchMe The people that crowd the hospital beds are those above 60. So the real question is why is the vaccine mandated on everyone? Why are we trying to control everyone rather than focusing on the group that is actually at risk?

Firing 20,000 health workers is a small price to pay to then be able to blame the long-pathetic state of the Quebec health system in the non-vaccinated.
