\u00a0 \u00a0In life, man can hurry or stumble. Whoever understands life is the one who changes stumbling to success. This was done by October heroes. As we celebrate October victory, we recall that day in which the Egyptians gave the world the icon of \u201cEgypt and the Impossible.\u201d The heroes changed the setback to victory, which is not impossible for the Egyptian whose love for his country and ingenuity are testified to by history.<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Here, I recall what I read in newspaper about a reportage prepared by the Israeli channel of the military engineers on the occasion of the forty-fourth year of the October War. They said that the Egyptian Army made an unprecedented military victory, and that the war had changed the name of the Israeli Army from \u201cinvincible\u201d to \u201cunder construction\u201d!<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Israel had many material losses. Likewise, about two thousand officers and soldiers were killed, and others were taken to captivity. Indeed, this is the Egyptians\u2019 unseen capacity which enables them to work miracles through diligent work, and strong, unshaken will. According to French dramatist Jean Anouilh, \u201cMen can work true miracles when they use their talents and minds.\u201d<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Great deeds can be achieved not through wishes, but by faithful work which is backed by great love that supports man to resume his march toward achieving his goals.<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Egypt needs love and diligent work. Here, I recall what reposed Pope Shenouda III said about Egypt:<\/span>
\nWe love her and all what\u2019s in her<\/span>
\nWe love her Nile and land<\/span>
\nHer streets and alleys<\/span>
\nHer fields and deserts<\/span>
\nHer workers and farmers<\/span>
\nHer past and future<\/span>
\nHer mentors and scholars<\/span>
\nHer Copts and Muslims<\/span>
\nWe love our motherland in rage and peace<\/span>
\nIn giving and prohibiting<\/span>
\nWe love her with June setback<\/span>
\nAnd with October victory<\/span>
\nWe love the Pharaoh\u2019s, our ancestors<\/span>
\nThe land where I was born<\/span>
\nAnd the Nile not only when it runs through the Valley<\/span>
\nBut also when it runs in your heart and mine.<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0With this overwhelming love, we can achieve more victories for our country in all fields. Battles are not just in which we carry weapons, but also in which we establish whatever Egypt needs.\u00a0<\/span>
\nMany happy returns on the memory of October victory which was achieved by the Egyptian will emanating from hearts full of love.<\/span><\/h2>\n

General Bishop<\/span>
\nHead of the Coptic Orthodox Cultural Center<\/span><\/h2>\n
