For her great position in the Holy Bible and Christianity, the Virgin Mary was demonstrated in a variety of scenes in Coptic art, Christian icons and drawings, and her pictures spread in all churches of the world. HG Bishop Martiros, the General Bishop, in his article The diversity of the appearance of the Mother of God in icons explained to us that Saint Luke the physician was the first to draw an icon of the Mother of God carrying her son, the Lord Jesus. Then, her pictures were painted on the walls of the dimes places under the floor of the ancient city of Rome, and then her pictures spread in the churches of the whole world with various scenes and forms expressed by Christian art. The various icons and drawings of the Virgin Mary were depicted in several scenes that have specific connotations, among which it was explained that she has always been virgin, the second heaven, the queen, the mother of God, and higher than the cherubim and the seraphim. The images also highlighted several symbols associated with the Virgin, such as the bush, the tabernacle, the ark of the covenant and the ladder of Jacob. Many purposes and specific connotations, whether theological, spiritual or doctrinal, were demonstrated in the icons of the Holy Virgin Mary about whom Saint Cyril of Alexandria says: (Peace be to Mary, the Mother of God, the precious treasure, the lamp that is never extinguished, the crown of virginity, and the rod of Orthodoxy).

With the Egyptian-Israeli peace agreement, and because we are a religious military state, former President Sadat resorted to the sheikhs to issue fatwas authorizing peace with Israel raising the slogan of peace. The opposition also used another fatwa prohibiting peace with Israel, including fatwas of Al-Azhar sheikhs themselves in 1956, issued about 21 years before peace with Israel. As is the norm of religious controversy, the debate has not been resolved, and the doctrinal dispute over peace with Israel remains until today. It is your political doctrine that defines your doctrine of jurisprudence, and because Arabic-speaking societies are hard to learn, they repeat the same actions and mistakes as well. The Sheikhs of the Emirates issued a statement yesterday saying that it may be permissible to hold peace treaty with Israel and they praised the wisdom of the heroic crown prince. But I liked that they didn’t mention in the fatwa if it is permissible or forbidden. Instead, they said it is one of the responsibilities of the governor. I wish all sheikhs do the same and assure politics is non of their business.

Prisons are filled with many political prisoners, and outside the prison their relatives, friends and loved ones wish them out and hope they receive amnesty. In fact, life is full of wonders and many political prisoners in history were imprisoned and then took prominent offices. For example: Makram Ubaid Pasha, who was arrested by the government of the delegation (Alwafd) and then the delegation was overthrown and he was released. Soon, he was appointed Minister of Finance, and at that time he said his famous saying: I was once a prisoner in the corners of the earth,, and then became a trustee on its treasures (since he became a minister for financial). The same thing happened with Nelson Mandela, the South African fighter who was remained in prison for 29 years, but he was finally released to take office of the president of South Africa and be the first president of color in it. History is indeed full of amazing things.

Many times did the Palestinian officials invited the Egyptian people to visit Palestine, but their invitation was rejected to avoid normalization with its ugly reputation at that time. The Palestinian president assured that visiting Jerusalem is like visiting the prisoner in his jail. I remembered this as I was hearing today about the Historic Peace Agreement between our two GREAT friends, Israel and the United Arab Emirates (as named by Donald Trump). The new agreement of normalization includes having bilateral agreements regarding investment, tourism, direct flights, security, telecommunications, technology, energy, healthcare, culture, the environment, the establishment of reciprocal embassies, and other areas of mutual benefits. On the other hand, the new normal diplomatic relations should put on pause Israel s efforts to annex parts of the West Bank as announced by the United Arab Emirates. For his part, President Abdel Fattah El Sisi praised the newly-announced agreement saying: I followed with great interest and appreciation the tripartite joint statement between the United States of America, the […] United Arab Emirates and Israel regarding the agreement to stop Israel s annexation of the Palestinian territories assuring it would bring peace to the Middle East I hope that such agreement would be respected by Israel and will achieve prosperity and stability for the suffering Palestinians and for the region.

It seems that we will see a repeated cenario of what happened in the 2016 elections in the US. All polls refer to Joe Biden winning the election and then suddenly wake up and find that Trump won his second term. Unfortunately, the deomcratic party failed to candidate someone who can inspire Americans as it was before. Its really sad that american has to choose between two old folks 74 and 77. When you fail to candidate a young person who can inspire people in all America, that means that America is old as well and started to suffer from disease that infect old people.

Dr. Mai indicated that she is ready to provide assistance and cooperation to all Egyptian researchers and students, and to organize lectures and workshops as soon as she returns back to Egypt. It is noteworthy that the doctor is one of the expatriate Egyptian women, and the great achievement that she achieved abroad led to her selection to join the Scientific Advisory Board of Immunotherapy Medicine in London. Greetings to Dr. Mai and to every Egyptian who works hard to serve their country and make great achievements to help humans all over the world. Greetings to great Egyptians all over the world.

God uses a variety of methods to communicate his messages to all people. Those who are willing to listen receive the voice of God without Intimidation or belittling and interact with it. Others refuse to hear and reject the message because they do not understand the purpose of God. Father Poulos William, priest of St. Mark Church of Heliopolis, told us in his article ‘He who has ears to hear, let him hear’ that God’s love for human beings is simply beyond description, so God does not want sinners to die without repenting. His messages aim to reach and reassure us, and call us to repentance or even give us warnings or messages of hope.

In the ninetieth, the Egyptian Minister of Defense was Field Marshal Abu Ghazala. He was one of the most brilliant and powerful defense ministers in the history of the world and presented several military theories. There was an Egyptian scientist specialized in military engineering named Helmy Abdel Qader, a graduate of Egyptian military art. This man was born in Minya governorate and he achieved first place in his class and worked in Egypt for a while before he traveled to Canada and then entered America and joined the American military factories. He was a very talented, and within months America gave him a security permit to enter all American military places because of his extraordinary capabilities in the military industries. In that time, an alliance took place between Abu Ghazaleh, Iraq and Argentina to manufacture and develop ballistic missiles, but they needed a substance called black carbon, which only exists in America. There was a colonel in the Egyptian Intelligence Service named Hossam Khairallah ( A former presidential candidate) was assigned by Field Marshal Abu Ghazaleh to communicate with the Egyptian scientist Helmy Abdel Qader. Indeed, he communicated with him and agreed to transfer the black carbon substance to Egypt. Helmy Abdel Qader was a very patriot Egyptian who excreted a great effort to recruit an American scientist to help him prepare the package and send it to the Egyptian embassy and then to Egypt. At that time, an Egyptian traitor named Muhammad Morsi (former president of Egypt) was recruited by American intelligence to monitor all Egyptian movements in the state in which he lived in exchange for educational and financial facilities, and he was also attached to the American NASA agency. Morsi was assigned also to spy on the Egyptian scientist Helmy Abdel Qader who was very intelligent and careful, but he thought that Mohamed Morsi is a naive village man who can never be dangerous. Morsi, however, listened to a phone call between Abdel Qader and Khairallah and revealed it to the CIA and exposed the operation and Helmy Abdel Qader was sentenced to 25 years in prison. The American administration asked Mubarak to dismiss Abu Ghazaleh who was the best defense minister in the world at that time and participated in planning with Saddam Hussein in liberating Faw from Iran and breaking the thorn of Iran. Later, in the presidential elections following Mubarak s resignation the traitor and spy Morsi won the elections supported by the USA, but the patriot sons of Abu Ghazaleh were present to save Egypt

The explosion that destroyed a huge area from lebanon and resulted in a lot of victims and casualties in souls and buildings opened a lot of questions related to politicians and parties in Lebanon. Unfortunately, Lebanon is a victim of external parties that tries to impose certain doctrines on lebanees and that what divided them and might lead to a civil war like the one was in the 70th.

Switzerland is a small country, with no seas or oceans, few natural resources, but occupies a Leading place in the world including: the banking sector, the pharmaceutical industry, precision machinery, watches, building materials, sweets, spinning and weaving, in addition to tourism. Switzerland has maintained that traditional strength through a sound financial architecture, a strong industrial base, and a judicious and fair distribution of income. On the other hand, Lebanon is called Switzerland of the Arabs, but its economy depends on tourism, the provision of banking services, and transfers of those working abroad, and its economy has remained dependent primarily on the aid and assistance of the Arab Gulf countries. Yet, when the Arab aid for Lebanon stopped, its fragile economy was exposed and the value of the Lebanese Lira deteriorated sharply until the dollar reached 8,000 Lira. This is a wake-up call for the rest of the countries that depend on Gulf loans and aid, which they spend in pride and can stop anytime without even a warning.

I assured before that Ethiopia doesn’t own the Renaissance Dam and have no power or decision to negotiate. The dam belongs to other parties and I mentioned previously that there is a study of the World Bank 1996 aimed at storing water behind the Abyssinian Plateau in wells like oil and selling water to countries of the world in hight prices. The most important aspect of erecting the dam is to prevent water and life from the land of Egypt and Sudan, and this is the primary goal of global Zionism to establish the alleged great kingdom of Israel after destroying life in Egypt. All that is said about the existence of defects in the body of the dam, and its land is not true. It is indeed done according to very accurate studies made by countries, great organizations, and giant companies that build it. The one thing that can prevent such evil plan is the superiority of the Egyptian army. Last week, Egypt received the first batch of Russian snake fighters Su-35, which will make its army the strongest air force in the Middle East. Egypt is negotiating to buy the Russian defense system 5500, which is the most powerful and the latest in the world. Thus, Egyptian army will jump to the sixth rank in the world, and it will only be separated from the first places by the nuclear classification. At that point, Egypt will be a deterrent force that no one will be able to threaten its national security from any direction.

The Copts were very happy upon receiving news that the Holy Virgin had appeared in luminous form above the spire of her church in the Minya town of Deir Mawas located 320 km south of Cairo. Hundreds of people headed to the location to witness and be blessed by the exceptional event. Media reported the event and Bishop Aghabious of Dir Mawas appeared on television to explain the news.. Egypt has a long history with the manifestations of the Holy Virgin, which occupies a prominent position in historical references on Marian apparitions around the world over the last two centuries. As we record much zeal and delight and faith in the apparitions, we need to be very accurate and take all necessary measures and procedures to investigate and confirm any such incident, and to issue official statements that authenticate and recognize it. We need to realize that many people will receive such news with much doubt and accusations of using visual illusions or light tricks and trading on the event for personal benefits. Many times did the church investigate a spiritual apparition and refused to recognize it because it couldn’t prove it. Such attitude assures the great value of such apparitions, and I hope an investigation will be opened soon concerning the spiritual apparition in Dir Mawas to prove or deny them.

The WHO organization lost its reputation over the last few months and all of that because of different messages that WHO provide to the whole world. One time WHO says there is no solution for Covid19, next day, the same organization says it should be a medicine in a few months to this virus. WHO and his chief is very contradictory in all their statements and that shows there is no good management to this organization and the main problem to this contradiction is the negative message that people receive from this statements.

In his last speech, president Abdul Fattah al-Sisi called on the Egyptian people to be as brave and powerful as lions and work hard each in his position. He added that this way Egypt would be so powerful as great lion that nobody can threaten. I remembered this story that my mother used to tell me. The story says a great lion woke up to see a small mouse falling on his leg. The lion grew angry and decided to kill the mouse. Yet, the mouse said he didn’t mean to annoy the great lion, and asked him to leave him in peace and promised to do as much as he can to help the great lion. The lion wondered how can such little mouse be helpful to him, but he let him go. Few days later, the lion was caught in trap and went roaring and asked for help. The mouse went to him and started chewing the net and made a big hole to let the lion escape and was saved thanks to the little mouse. Now, the lion told the mouse: I realized that we can’t live without one another no matter how powerful and mighty we are.

Since many of us don’t believe in personal freedoms, and are not convinced that freedom of dance is similar to freedom of expression and demonstration. Sexual freedom is similar to political freedom and freedom of worship! People should be free to express themselves and form groups and sydicates and personal freedom is the base of public freedoms. Freedoms are inseparable and indivisible. You may be interested in one of the freedoms and focus your efforts on it, but you should not underestimate and criticize those who have other fields of interest and other priorities. When we understand that public freedoms start with personal freedom, you will not support imprisonment of dancers and homosexuals and other people whose moral crimes have no clear definition nor characterization.

Addressing societal issues related to culture that have taken root in thought and behavior of our community over the years need a clear and insightful vision in order to realize and understand how they were formed and how to replace them. If we take, for example, the crime of female circumcision, or crimes of harassment, assault, and violence. They are rooted in our society due to many factors, including authoritarian religious thought that discriminate between girls and boys. While working in the field of development for more than forty years in rural and urban areas, I experienced the prevalence and spread of this culture, passing social classes and educational levels. I found university professors believing in the necessity of female circumcision, and reject to allow women to work. Facing these issues need perseverance and continuity, and we have two great examples of women Aziz Hussein and Mary Asaad who spend their lives to face female circumcision. This is the primary intention of establishing the National Committee to eliminate female circumcision under the joint leadership of the National Council for Women and the National Council for Motherhood and Childhood. We need unity and cooperation to eliminate this problem from our homeland.

I have not found throughout history two countries whose leaders enjoy integrity and honor like Russia and China. These countries are one of the members of the Security Council that is controlled by America, but not when it comes to Russia and China. America owns China a lot of money, but it does not cease to put pressure on the Security Council using the United Nations and its secretary, who is also controlled by the American congress like a doll. I believe that France and Britain may soon rise against the American arrogance. The purpose of America as Hillary Clinton said is to sabotage the Middle East and establish the Islamic caliphate. They may not realize that Egypt and its people were blessed in the Holy Bible. Its Church was established by St. Mark and has a genuine orthodox faith. It was mentioned in the Holy Bible Blessed Egypt my People and its land was visited by the Holy Family as one dear land for God s heart.

His Holiness Pope Tawadros II decided to perform reforms inside the church following the steps of the old fathers and using the current technology of the communication. There are many challenges before the new generations with the uncontrollable flow of data and information that criticize the pure Christian faith and attack it. Thus, he decided to give great concern for education just like St. Paul asked his disciple St. Timothy. Reform related to education takes two steps: the first step is the technology of transferring the knowledge, and the other is the original faith of the first church. This is the reason of establishing the Theological seminary and its departments. The challenge before making such reforms is those who reject change and fight against anything new. Here, we need to seek slow but steady reform.

Life most of the time needs us to take the risk and not be afraid of trying new things or changing lifestyles, however, because humans always like stability and feel afraid of any change in his life, he lives stuck in the same routine forever. Risks sometimes bring big prizes and the only effort any one needs to do is to take the step and not be afraid of losing what you have. Sometimes you can t win big until you lose the small things that you are clinging to.
