Episode #18 It is Enough for me to Just to See you my Father - In Memory of Pope Shenouda III

November 14 is the anniversary of the enthronement of Pope Shenouda III, of blessed memory. In this episode I recall some blessed memories of this great modern pope and patriarch of our modern era. I spent 5 years at St Bishoy Monastery under the guidance of His Holiness, observing quietly his amazing ministry to his flock around the world. It reminds me of the monk that came with 2 other monks to visit St Antony the Great and did not utter a word. When St Antony asked him why he did not ask any questioned, he responded, :It is enough for me to just see you my father" This is how I felt on many occasions in the presence of Pope Shenouda III, may his memory be eternal.
