Among the series of the Coptic Orthodox Cultural Center Book issues
Recently issued: “The Papal Messages” Book
By: His Holiness Great Pope Shenouda III for his children abroad (in Nativity) 1998 – 2012
Foreword
Throughout forty years, the words of His Holiness Pope Shenouda III in feasts always conveyed to us spiritual contemplations and doctrinal lessons which made us feel the spirituality of the feast and its deep notions.
His Holiness’ sermons in Nativity each year convey the deep meanings and messages that the birth of Lord Christ bears, the most important of which is the message of Salvation, for which the Divine Incarnation was done as evidence of God’s love to us.
These meanings and contemplations will ever be kept in our hearts and lives, we feel their spirituality every time we read them, we sense their depth every time we listen to them.
Therefore, we publish the Papal Messages of Nativity from 1998 to 2012, for the benefit of generations, as His Holiness was and will be the teacher of generations and the whole world.
We beseech His Holiness to remember us before the Throne of Grace.
