H.H. Pope Shenouda III sustained an injury today, breaking his femur (according to the AFP), June 10, 2008, and was transported via Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak’s presidential jet to Cleveland, Ohio for treatment. All Ordinations for Pentecost 2008 have been postponed. Many bishops have canceled their flights to Egypt and are staying or coming to the States to visit His Holiness.

Let us all pray for the health and well being of our honored father, Pope Shenouda III. May the Lord grant him health and healing and may the Lord keep him for us for many more years and peaceful times.

Are you sure all ordinations are cancelled? Is there a source?

Thanks to our Lord, Jesus Christ the true physician; the surgery of H.H was successfuland he is now recovering.

He will be discharged from the Hospital within the next week or two...then he will continue his healing at the Papal residence in New Jersey.

He will not be accepting visitors at this time.

In Christ,
a

Too bad because I would like to have a chance to meet him face to face. I never had that chance but I hope to someday.
