That is why the saints used to remind the Lord

[Mary Naeem]

Pope Shenouda III







That is why the saints used to remind the Lord of His saints so that His compassionate and merciful heart would be moved immediately on hearing their names and remembering His promises to them, and we have discussed this issue before here on st-takla.org in other pages. In interceding for the people of Israel to be saved from perishing, Moses the Prophet said to the Lord: "Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, Your servants, to whom You swore by Your own self, and said to them, 'I will multiply your descendants as the stars of heaven' " (Ex.32: 13).
