He who is greater than heaven and earth

[Mary Naeem]

By H.H. Pope Shenouda III

GREATER THAN HEAVEN AND EARTH

This time I was not walking in the desert or sitting at the door of the monastery, I was with my father the monk in front of his cell in the mount to continue our previous talk concerning He who is greater than heaven and earth.

My beloved brother, a spirit which desires to be released, knows well its own worth. It knows how magnificently great it is and how much greater it is than to be humiliated by the flesh, the environment or by the devils.
