To my father, whom I truly love Your soul never stopped working for the sake of every soul, when it was imprisoned in your weak body - even in the bitterest moments of pain. It will never stop working even, now, after leaving the body and fleeing towards heaven to enjoy complete freedom in God's bosom and with the saints. When you were living in faith, God's peace filled your heart and pushed you to the pastoral work with great conviction - that everybody may experience unity with the suffering and the risen Jesus Christ. Now that you are in the Savior's bosom, seeing Him clearly, don't you long as much for the redemption of all humanity?! I can't say that you have left your church and that you do not stand with us at God's altar, at which you were ordained. I can't say that your people have lost your care and strive for their salvation. Today you are closer to your church's altar and your people than before. You are of a more significant benefit for all of us. You are standing before God's altar, which is not man-made, praying with the heavenly unseen 24 priests. God uses you to fulfill His will, so you are able to perform what you could not complete before. Indeed, I feel obligated to record these memories - not to praise, for with heaven and its glory you are in no need of the earthly. Rather, these memories are a living image of dedicated pastoral work and the constitution (law) of faithful spiritual service. Pray for me my father so that God may grant me two of your spirits as he granted Elisha two souls of Elijah’s the prophet. Fr. Tadros Yacoub Malaty March 23rd, 1979
