Wisdom, mercy and poverty .. The Pope's vision is in opposition to the success of the new bishops
Pope Twaedros II of Alexandria, Patriarch of the Annunciation of St. Mark, laid the foundation for the success of the service of the new bishops, who prayed their prayers at the Cathedral this morning.
Pope Tauadros asked who was the bishop's father. He said: "The bishop is a monk who has been chosen by the Divine Providence after prayers and contemplation to become bishop of the church. He must preserve his monastic vows in his life and not become a past. Vows are obedience, repentance and poverty." If obedience does not exist, To give up his or her personal passion and self.
As for the second vow, the Pope says: It is the tibetal and the life of purity and grace. It is not only physical, but also in other senses, the human being keeps himself pure, an attribute that includes the life of the archbishop in all his relationships, while the third vow is the optional poverty. And then it has to be poor, money in his hands safe and depositary of God, and then poverty is a means to serve the needy, money sent by God to others and not to the Bishop himself.
Pope Takadros II stressed that the absence of these qualities meant that the bishop took the form and left the essence. The service of the Church is a mandate and not a privilege. Upgrading in the concept of the Church is as much as washing the feet as Christ did. The Father is a costly servant of the Church, Secretary of the Ultimate.
Pope Takadros, the Pope of Alexandria and the Patriarch of St. Mark, said that the function of the bishop is to make every person a saint and holiness comes only through repentance, adding: "We have no purpose but repentance and glorification of the name of God.
The Pope pointed to the importance of wisdom in the life of the Father Bishop, as was the case with Solomon the Wise who asked God to grant him wisdom, fatherhood shines when the father is wise.
According to Pope Tavadros: Paternity needs two wings of wisdom and mercy, the bishop is a monk who preserves his vow, and does not forget it. He is a servant in charge of the service. He is balanced and performed well. He is a wise father whose paternity is swept with compassion and wisdom.
The pope had promoted Bishop Antony Marcus to the post of Archbishop of South Africa, and had appointed new bishops for eastern Canada, Manfalut and the Red Sea.
