His Holiness Pope Tawadros II ordained five nuns in St. George’s Convent in Haret Zuweila and Sidi Kreir, in St. George’s Convent, Kreir.
The new nuns are:
Nun Esther
Nun Ruth
Nun Barbara
Nun Juliana
Nun Helena
Five bishops, Tamav Athanasia, the abbess of the Convent, the heads of the nuns’ monasteries, the nuns of the Convent, and some priests participated in the prayers.
After the Liturgy, His Holiness visited the new constructions in the Convent and held a meeting with the nuns of the monastery. The nuns received his Holiness with some hymns. His Holiness delivered a speech on the beauty of monastic life, summarizing it in three phrases:
Remember the first day you entered the monastery.
Monasticism does not like mixing.
Obedience protects from grumbling and stubbornness.
