Anba Rofail's prayer on behalf of the new Pope:
"Sweet Lord Jesus Christ, you have chosen a beautiful gem for our church, and have beheld my tears. I ask of you to support our Pope, that he may be a light for our church, that people may witness your person in it, and that they may taste the beauty of Orthodoxy!"
I also thought the meeting of Anba Tawadrous (HH Pope Tawadrous II) and Anba Rofail was mimenetically like the icon of the meeting of St Peter and St Paul:
"Sweet Lord Jesus Christ, you have chosen a beautiful gem for our church, and have beheld my tears. I ask of you to support our Pope, that he may be a light for our church, that people may witness your person in it, and that they may taste the beauty of Orthodoxy!"
I also thought the meeting of Anba Tawadrous (HH Pope Tawadrous II) and Anba Rofail was mimenetically like the icon of the meeting of St Peter and St Paul:
Axios Axios Axios, Avva Tawadrous!
