The power of prayers..

If history is any indication!!

V. Rev. Fr Ibrahim Abdou,

angel of Abo Sifen and St Demiana Church in Shoubra-Cairo, is documenting one of the biggest lessons in the Coptic Church's recent history.

Fr Ibrahim Abdou was among 24 priests including our very own V. Rev. Fr Tadros Samaan, angel of St Antonios & St Paul Guildford-Sydney and V. Rev. Fr Bishoy Yassa, angel of Abo Sifen church Rhodes-Sydney and 8 bishops imprisoned, without trial and without any wrong doing, by the late President Anwar Elsadat's highly unpopular orders of 3 September 1981.

HH Pope Shenouda III was also put under house arrest at St Bishoy's Monastery as part of the same orders to roundup more than 1500 of the country's top intellectuals and activists of all ideological stripes.

Continuous heart-felt daily prayers of 400 matanyas with "God Have Mercey" for 32 days have reached God's ears. On 6 October 1981, Sadat was assassinated by Islamic Extremists on his big day during the annual victory parade.

Sadat Lived in pride and with bullet holes died.

To remain a lesson for anyone who lay a hand on the church

No one lay a hand on the church and win, Never..Never

It is no exaggeration to draw similarity between the war on the church in Egypt back then and the current war on the Diocese of Sydney. The difference this time is it is from within, by the very known trio (Amir Hanna, Medhat Girgis and Fayez Hanania) and their gang ie. Hany Gayed and others.

Please keep praying with David;

وَقِيلَ لِدَاوُدَ إِنَّ أَخِيتُوفَلَ بَيْنَ الْمُتَمَرِّدِينَ الَّذِينَ انْضَمُّوا إِلَى أَبْشَالُومَ. فَصَلَّى دَاوُدُ
حَمِّقْ يَارَبُّ مَشُورَةَ أَخِيتُوفَلَ
ﺻﻤﻮﺋﻴﻞ ﺍﻟﺜﺎﻧﻲ٣١:١٥

Then [someone] told David, saying, "Ahithophel [is] among the conspirators with Absalom." And David said, "O LORD, I pray,
turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness!"
2Sa 15:31
