Then, when shall we know You the true knowledge

[Mary Naeem]

By H.H. Pope Shenouda III

Then, when shall we know You the true knowledge?

Our Lord Jesus Christ says, "And this is eternal life, that
they may know You, the only true God... " (John. 17:3)
Thus, to know You is not a matter which needs years and
days but it will take the whole eternal life which has no end.

If this is the case concerning eternity, what can we say about our ignorance while we are on earth? Do we really have any knowledge ?

So, I entreat You, Great Creator, to forgive me because I talk to people about virtue more than I tell them about You..
