A joyful social gathering for our incredibly gifted and dedicated Diocesan Digital Group today to share fellowship and thank them for all they have done in keeping @CopticDiocese connected over the past two years, during which they have facilitated ~10,000 online hours per month.

[Archbishop Angaelos @BishopAngaelos]

Uplifting Liturgy early this morning celebrated with all the fathers of @SydneyCopts’ St Anthony and St Paul parish. A blessing to feel the fellowship and experience God’s work. Sincere thanks to Fr Tadros, Fr Macarious, Fr Shenouda, Fr Surial, Fr Seraphim and the whole community

I was strongly advised not to do this 👇🏼 again…so I won’t.

Besides, there are some tweets you really cannot improve on.

…and yes, yes…I know that he was the ‘bad guy’, well, at least for most of the time…but just go with the obvious 😳…and the theme of redemption.

A joy to be with our @CopticDiocese St Barbaras Pre-Servants’ Training Programme this evening, listening to a wonderful presentation on the authenticity and impact of the #Resurrection, and then providing a short reflection on sharing the #hope of our Risen Lord with the world.

We have farewelled an angel of the diocese, Fr Philopateer, after a years-long gracious and valiant struggle with illness, who so faithfully served @St_Mercurious for 25 years

Another blessed #Youth #service with @BishopAngaelos discussing #Spiritual #Endurance.

A reminder to all, Psalm 37:5
“Trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass”

[Archbishop Angaelos @BishopAngaelos]

Such a joy to be online with the wonderful young people of @St_Philopateer discussing Spiritual Endurance.

The spiritual journey is most certainly a marathon and not a sprint, with its breathtaking views and inspiring milestones along the way.

#FakeNews:
This starts on Monday 🤔

We have come a long way together, but still have a little way to go. Please stay #careful, #responsible, #vigilant and #safe...and keep each other safe.

[Archbishop Angaelos @BishopAngaelos]

None of us is above human vulnerability or brokenness, so they must never become a source of endless self-condemnation, but an opportunity to arise and rebuild. Through them we are also able to recognise, understand, and excuse where we can or must, the brokenness of others.

[Archbishop Angaelos @BishopAngaelos]

A beautifully uplifting Liturgy this morning at @St_Philopateer in #Risca, #Wales, having just recommenced prayers in Wales a week ago; after which I had a wonderful opportunity to pay a quick socially-distanced visit to Fr Philopatir, who was unable to attend.

"The Christian message and life is one of hope and joy, but also one that, we have been told by Our Lord himself, will entail suffering..."
