This morning, His Holiness Pope Tawadros II delivered a speech via ON channel, one of the channels of the United Media Services Company, which owns channels (ON – DMC – El Hayah – CBC), as part of the weekly Sunday sermon program.
The sermon came from the Gospel of today’s liturgy taken from the ninth chapter of the Gospel of John, which is the Gospel of the fourth Sunday of the month of Toba, which presents the miracle of healing the one born blind.
His Holiness pointed out that the readings of the Sundays of the month of Tuba focus on the idea of rebirth and enlightenment, then His Holiness spoke about enlightenment in the life of Saint Anthony, through which he left the world and went to the wilderness, and the monastic life was established on his hands.
His Holiness affirmed that Saint Anthony was a light to the whole world by:
– I started from the Gospel: When he considered that verse, “If you want to be full… leave the world.
– He lived by the Gospel: through his continuous reading of the Bible and his keenness to implement the commandment.
– He taught through the Bible: He used to teach his students and everyone who came to him from the Bible.
The journalist and writer Ashraf Sadiq, managing editor of Al-Ahram, undertake the task of preparing the weekly Sunday sermon, which the pontiffs of the church exchanged to present since its inception.
