As usual, I was searching for something unrelated but came across this on YouTube earlier this morning: A tour of St. Mark Coptic Orthodox Church -- the Church in which I was baptized in 2012 -- by Fr. Marcus Mansour, the priest by whose hand I was baptized. I hate the jittery MTV-style editing of the video's intro and outro more than anything (CYC is the Coptic Youth Channel, so I guess I'm too old for it), but just seeing Fr. Marcus and hearing his voice again after being away for years from St. Bishoy Coptic Orthodox Church (in NM, where I actually lived/attended liturgy. where he and Fr. Philemon Hanna also served, though it was almost always Fr. Marcus) is a real blessing. Nearly brings tears to my eyes, honestly.
Happy father's day, ya Abouna, and to all our godly priests and all the fathers in our congregations.
